Izzo Golf Flatball Swing Golf Training Aid, White

I purchased these but ended up finding a different brand here on Amazon that offered more "balls" for only a little more money. So I returned this item and went with the ones that I considered to be a better value. These are solid pucks, whereas the other ones I bought and decided to go with have more holes in them, and so these ones travel further when struck than the others I purchased. That doesn't make a difference to me, and I am more partial to having more quantity than concern for how they fly. In general for these "flat balls", not just specific to this brand.... I used them and had no trouble hitting them. I really bought them for my daughter who is learning to swing a golf club, as I figured they would help train her to strike the ball correctly. She does not find these flat balls as fun to hit because they are obviously harder to make contact with, and they don't travel far like a real golf ball, but that is the point. As a training tool, this type of product is a good tool for beginners, or if you really are having trouble hitting the ball fat/thin. My word of advice is that no matter which brand you go with, you will need either a "fairway" type artificial turf/driving range mat, or a low pile carpet to hit these off of. If you just hit these off of the grass in your yard, it is too easy to get underneath them and make you think you hit it correct. You need a hitting/driving range mat that will cause your club to skip over the top, as intended, if you strike too far behind the ball. My daughter's swing is all over the place, but even she can hit these balls more often than she should off of the "rough" practice mat grass, because her club will travel through it and does not bounce off of that grass like it does for the "fairway" grass. Overall, this seemed to be a quality product, just not a great value in my opinion.

I like these little things. They will help you "strike it pure." The one limitation of them is that you really will not know if you're hitting off the heel, toe, etc. Indeed, if you strike it just right, they will fly straight in front of you. I might suggest you follow up your training on these with some strike tape or use a dry erase marker on your ball to see if you're hitting heel/toe/thin/crown. Worth it if you're a guy or gal that thins a lot, or has a problem with your swing plane.

I purchased these Flatballs to work on my inconsistent swing indoors during the winter. I often pair them with my Zepp swing analyzer and hit into a blanket draped over my weight bench and it works fine as an indoor driving range. They have been so effective that I can now consistently hit pennies off my mat. Of course I don't do that often as I like having my irons free of dings. The material these disks are made of is very resilient. I have 3000 swings in at the moment and these Flatballs look exactly the same as they did when I opened them. The material is fairly firm, and a good solid 90 mph clubhead speed will send them flying pretty hard. Therefore, I can't say it's the brightest idea to hit them into a blanket indoors, but the blanket will still stop them without a problem. The only time it is a problem is if you mishit or strike something solid behind the blanket. I highly recommend these to work on your swing groove.

These are great for getting your iron swing perfected. I tend to hit the ball thin or fat. When you train with this there is very little margin for error. If you strike it perfectly it will fly straight and fairly level. If you swing thin, you miss it altogether and if you swing fat, your club face slides right under it and it just flip straight up a few inches. With irons you watch to strike ball with a downward angel of attack and your low point should be after you hit the ball. This tool works great to perfect that because of you hit this cleaning your club face hasn’t yet hit its low point, so you hit cleanly and then you club takes a divot after this disc. I’m striking the ball with my irons the best I ever have after a thousand or so swings with these discs.

Interesting golf product. I have tried most (if not all) golf training aids and did not find a good application for this product. I tried it for putting to keep my putter close to the green without hitting the ground (like putting a quarter). I tried it with the full swing but I did not notice any difference in my contact or if it was helping my ball striking. I did have limited success with chipping. I could practice in my living room by chipping the disks onto the couch and it helped my hands stay ahead of the ball and I noticed better contact around the green.

I know some people say these are a waste of money, but I am a beginning golfer struggling with thin shots, fat shots, and whiffs with my irons. These deliver what they promise in that if you don't get your swing to contact the ball right, they don't go anywhere. In the short time I've been using them, they have helped me a lot. Just be aware that, as others have said, these may not go as far as a real golf ball, but they do go pretty far if you tag them right. They're more "semi-rigid" than "soft." I would not want to use them indoors as they suggest, and I know my wife would not! Maybe in a garage or basement. You could use them with a net though. The seem pretty indestructible, so overall they're a good investment, for me at least.

Great for practicing your ball striking. After getting these and hitting them for about 10 minutes every night I have been hitting the ball better. Less fat shots, but I still thin the ball some and these do not help with hitting the club face square or in the center. Granted I am hitting them indoors and at about half swings against a wall so I do not have much flight with them. Overall they are a great training aid for those that have trouble getting general contact with the ball.

I use the IZZO to warm up before my round. I don’t have time to hit a bucket of balls, more important things to do like hang out with my wife. They have helped me to focus on ball contact as I have a tendency to thin the ball early in my round. When you hit them sweet you know straight way as they fly straight and fizz. Great for Instant ball contact feedback.

Der saubere Ballkontakt lässt sich damit wirklich toll trainieren. Jeder unsaubere Ballkontakt wird sofort sichtbar und der Flatball fliegt nicht. Daher wirklich toll fürs Training. Einziges Manko, ich glaube, sie halten nicht sooo lange. Sie sehen schon nach kurzer Benutzung recht abgenutzt aus. An der Funktionalität ändert sich aber nix. Sehr empfehlenswert 👍👍👍

It works!

Excelente producto muy útil para entrenar en espacios pequeños y mejorar la precisión sin que le rompas cosas a tu esposa

I love these things. I just started playing golf and was hesitant as these seemed like a gimmick. The truth is this really does help you build up your skills at keeping your eye on the ball and hitting the disk. The best part is that if you hit it right, you will get a buzzing sound as it spins in the air. I actually have been sharing them with people at work so now I will have to buy some more.
