The Floppy - Indoor Golf Ball Review

By Brian Weis

If you are looking to get in some practice during the off season or to maintain your midseason form when time doesn't permit for a bucket at the range then look no further than The Floppy.

The Floppy bills itself as the Indoor Golf Ball specifically designed for short game practice. The ball resembles a white knitted hackie sack with an internal rubber bladder partial filled. (Sounds and feels like small seeds)

The ball can be used with any club provided you have the swing height indoors. If you do not have the required 9" 5' feet to take a full swing then you will be limited to half swings with short irons and pitch and flop shots with your wedge.

Nervously, I put the balls to the test against my freshly painted office walls. (The company's website claims "it is safe enough to hit into a window) Swinging half wedges off a small hitting mat the ball felt responsive and true. While the ball did not leave a mark on my wall they did leave an impression that these would come in handy during the long winter off season in Wisconsin.

A set of 4 balls retails for $19.99 and available at large golf retailers or online at www.thefloppy.com.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.
