Ethan Fisher, PGA stops by to discuss his article over on the blog detailing the rapid rise and demise of Old Silo Golf Club, Kentucky golf's shooting star. You see, while the Birdie Ball is made to be the exact diameter of a real golf ball, it appears larger at address because you're looking down at a cylinder instead of a sphere. Things like pets, sunlight, and other factors will ultimately affect their longevity but based on my initial few weeks, I think it’s a high quality product. The problem is that most golfers have busy lives and simply don’t have the time to constantly drive to the nearest golf course just to practice their putting stroke.
Also, because of the way they’re designed, one side of the green will be slightly faster than the other. I took the bucket out to the backyard, threw the balls on the grass and hit the first one,” says Breaker. Where I live in Texas tends to be pretty windy, so I have experience playing these in both calm and breezy conditions (up to 25-30mph).
Not withstanding this 'problem', overall it is definitely worth swinging on to a birdie ball in your backgarden; gives me more satisfaction than swinging into a net. Use the BirdieBall set to improve your long game and BirdieBall putting greens to learn how to roll the rock even better. I used them occasionally when I play a course that doesn’t have a driving range to practice full iron swings.
A dedicated Mum, wife, sister, daughter, teacher and a wonderful friend to all, her passing has had an incredible impact on everyone who met her. Having one turf mat is idea for anyone setting up a home simulator and is ideal for anyone looking to get some work in during their lunch break. My half dozen backyard Birdie Balls are mostly un-phased and unharmed by landing on asphalt driveways, slamming into wooden fences, or even unforgiving gnawing upon by an 80 pound lab/boxer mix. Classic stance mat: This is a small mat that gives you space for your feet and recommended if you go with a smaller green.BirdieBall is the patented, PGA-award winning, limited flight practice golf ball that lets you play golf just about anywhere. For that reason, I highly recommend that you hit directly into the wind (or with the wind) if you are focusing on your standard shot.
Unlike a dozen golf balls, you won’t be losing these, so your one-time investment should pay off for the foreseeable future.However, if you’re serious about improving your short game and lowering your handicap, there are some better putting mats out there. There’s plenty of science behind the Birdie Ball phenomenon, which I really don’t care to try to comprehend to the point that I could explain it to you, Dear Readers.
Really awesome info - and as someone who has their putting mat, it's awesome to see that these things (that bear their namesake) are as fun as they seem to be. Does that sound like something that would help you shoot lower scores and hopefully beat your golf buddies? While there are a ton of pre-built package options available, a custom green might be your best bet. I knew this because I was actually leaving putts short from about 10-12 feet, which is something I have never done on any kind of indoor surface. Breaker and his dad did learn the basics: if you hit a ball with a descending blow and compress it, the ball jumps off the clubface with backspin due to the loft of the club and the fact you hit it below the equator.
According to BirdieBall, “Simply put, we use foam because it’s the only material we have found that mimics the spongy feel and true roll of a natural putting surface. It would be easy to dismiss the original BirdieBall as another crackpot inventor’s attempt to develop a golf training aid. The main issue is finding a surface that is similar enough to a real putting green to make it effective. I hit a few shots like I normally would, aiming at a flag I put into the grass and they all reacted the same way. I only tested out their flagship product and their hitting turf, but they offer a lot more than that.
Great Deal
