I love TCB training balls, I have both the baseball size hole balls and weighted balls. Great tool.
So OK, local sporting goods store had some TCB mini hole balls and I was able to buy just one to try it out. It is slightly bigger than a golf ball. I could find no use for it whatsoever, it is still small enough that it goes right through batting cage and Bownet mesh. It flew way, way too far and you would lose them like crazy in the grass. I can buy golf wiffle balls cheap and I don't care if they break or if we leave five of them in the weeds. Make the hole balls a little bigger so they don't go through netting and I would buy them. Make the walls of the ball thinner and it won't fly as far. Other than that, they are a fun, useless gimmick IMHO.
HOWEVER.... I see they also make a weighted golf ball in 48 and 74 gram size. Anybody use these? Anybody think they have a use for batting training? If they don't fly too far they might come in really handy.
Thoughts?
