foam practice balls

[fronesis]

Lots of folks around here have recommended this new foam practice balls, which are much better for simulating real ball flight than the old wiffle balls.

My question: is there any particular brand folks would recommend? I see Callaway makes some and there are some no-name brands, but I would be grateful for a bit more feedback or advice.

thanks!

FYI - The package says "limited flight" but they still go pretty damn far. I bought a bunch and the first one I put up on my neighbors roof. Now my kids just use them.

The Callaway balls aren't that great - they're really light and balloon up like crazy. The "Almost Golf" P3 practice balls are where it's at. They claim a 1/3 distance so you can just equate 100 feet to 100 yards in your practice, but they do go a bit shorter than that on longer clubs. They're great for short irons and wedges, though. They aren't perfect in many regards, but they're pretty darn good for hacking around the yard.

I also use the "almost golf balls". I haven't bounced a ball off my neighbors house in years.
