The patented solid core with internal pressure design allows the Point3 to travel one third the distance of a real golf ball, so golfers can turn their backyards into a true driving range experience for real results out on the course.

Best practice ball with launch monitors PERIOD
I long wanted a launch monitor, and finally purchased one from Amazon in July too see how my MPH and fight shape would do after recovering from surgery... I tried several several practice balls all gave were tough for the monitor to register and those that did had no real input data... Practice balls curve more than real balls do, but as a Super straight hitter I did not think that was the problem... On my launch Amazon monitor site. I asked if almost golf balls work with launch monitors. Got like 3 or 4 replies all but one saying yes... I ordered them and when... 1st day to try them it was windy as could be... Felt fine... And the monitor still followed them... What a difference... I don't expect exact numbers to match up... but was so relieved when the smash factor was not 1.01 from form (including Callaway)... PS recovering fine..

Almost real!
These practice balls are so cool. I have a 1.25-acre lot and am able to practice quite seriously in my back yard. They react just like a real ball without the fear of taking out a window. Strong swingers still need to take caution as they will still get serious distance if you connect, just without damage should you hit your house, you'll just lose it. I use them to work on my short-mid shots and have not tried a driver or hybrid due to my yard size. However, just on how they react to a wedge I think they would still drive a ton. I will try next time I go to the range. Even in the wind they react well as they don't float like those foam things. My partner and I have a practice routine where we pitch back and forth to each other in the yard with each other as the target. You can't do that with a real ball.

this might be a good option for you
Not a huge fan of these balls.There really isn't anything wrong with them if you are outside and can see the flight, but for me I was looking for a somewhat realistic experience for indoors (garage) into a net. The feel very hard (and I have put one through a garage wall so beware) but when you make contact they are very soft and unresponsive, so I really can't tell what type of contact I made (off the toe, thin, anything),If you are just looking for a ball that cant do too much damage and can hit around a field or yard, this might be a good option for you, but for anyone indoors, hitting into a net, or serious players you probably wont get much out of it.In all facets I have enjoyed my birdie balls more, which completely surprised me (even outside).

Perfect balance of feel and softness for indoor chipping in the offseason.
These are awesome. I use them to chip in my apartment hallway during the winter. They’re hard enough on the outside that you get that satisfying ‘click’ along with decent spin when you hit them. But they’re light and soft enough that I don’t stress about hitting them towards my bar cart which is at the end of the hallway. I’ve even clinked one off a wine glass without it breaking. Highly recommend them!

Amazing practice tool
I LOVE these things, they allow me to practice in my yard (which is large) and hit full swing iron shots. Nothing beats being able to practice at home and not dole out 5 or 10 bucks for a bucket at the range. They fly absolutely true to a regular ball and it's just fun as hell being able to hit a couple after work and avoid the drive to the range.

'Almost' is close enough
Was using Callaway foam balls (the best of that bunch, I found after trying several different brands of foam balls) on our property, where we have set up a tiny "links" course with holes varying from 40-70 yards. These yellow balls are better for the links; being harder and heavier they fly much farther than the Callaways and roll a lot farther down the fairway. These travel about 2/3rds as far as a regulation hard ball.I do think one of these yellow balls could break a window or dent a car if hit really hard.

Far better than the old perforated balls from yesteryear
Perform well. Tried these as an alternative to net or driving range. They do mimic flightpath, though I suggest maybe slightly exaggerated due to their lighter weight (compared to typical ball), but helpful nonetheless. I use a 7-iron for about 150 yards, and these balls flew consistently to about 95 yards. They feel similar on the clubface. Was pleasantly surprised by these. Far better than the old perforated balls from yesteryear.

Works for practicing swing techniques
I use these practice balls in working on my swing mechanics. I have a good mat and an 8'x8' net set up on my lanai, and these balls are useful in that they (1) aren't too loud when hit so as to disturb the neighbors, and (2) the rare times a shank is hit during experimentation with stance, grip, etc., the ball doesn't put a hole in the screen or take out stucco on the walls. Of course, hitting a real ball makes the best practice regimen but these are good for developing muscle memory. They are far superior to the practice wiffle balls in that they feel and react similar to real balls. Nothing replaces the driving range, but these practice balls can certainly help with repetition of techniques learned there.
