Choose your number of holes for the ultimate backyard golf game. 

A perfect backyard game for both serious golfers and beginners. The BirdieBall feels and flies like a golf ball in limited space, and our premium hitting turfs will save your lawn from divots. The pop-up target can be used in a full upright bucket position, a half moon position, or completely flat. A blast for the whole family!

Technology

PATENTED TRUE FLIGHT

The BirdieBall flies exactly like a real golf ball - with reverse spin around its horizontal axis.  Allowing you to draw and fade, you’ll know you’ve made good contact by the gratifying sound and feel produced after a pure strike.

PATENTED TRUE FEEL + FEEDBACK

When you hit a BirdieBall, you are compressing the bottom of the cylinder at impact. The ball then springs back into its circular shape, throwing the BirdieBall into a high rate of reverse spin and creating a turbine effect. The BirdieBall is only about half the weight of a golf ball, but its non-aerodynamic shape at impact causes you to feel a similar resistance on the club face as you do when striking a golf ball.

PATENTED LIMITED DISTANCE

As the BirdieBall rotates at a high rate of reverse spin, similar to a golf ball, every quarter revolution oscillates between a flat side and an open air side. This causes the ball to simultaneously lift and break (slow down). This creates a satisfying long hang time and limited flight distance.

GOLF ANYWHERE

You only need 40 yards to practice a rewarding full swing, allowing you to take golf anywhere!

Dimensions

  • Dozen ball box dimensions: 7.75" x 5.5" x 2"
  • Premium hitting turf dimensions: 1' x 2'
  • Target diameter: 11"
  • Target Height: 12" when fully expanded into bucket
  • Flag Pole Height: 29" 

Assembly & Care

No assembly required. We recommend you store your BirdieBalls and StrikePad indoors/out of the elements to increase longevity.

Wear + Cracking

Like any plastic, BirdieBalls can crack and have a finite life. There are a few factors that can affect the longevity of the ball:

  • Temperature- Do not hit BirdieBalls in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Club-Head Speed
  • Frequency of Use- The amount of times they have been struck affects their useable life.
  • Landing Surface: The surface on which the balls are landing can affect their longevity. If the balls land on something that can cause a defect on the ball, the weakened spot can then crack when struck.

If your BirdieBalls do crack, it is safest to not hit the ball again. Please reach out to customer service at questions@birdieball.com if you have any questions or need assistance with cracking balls.

Best Practice Golf Balls | "It's not your average foam ball. This clever little invention actually mimics a real golf ball's feel, flight and spin better than anything I've seen."

Golfer's Authority

Best Practice Golf Ball | "The magic is in the way it reacts to spin and impact. Hit a cut? You'll see it tail off. Hook one? It's gonna curve left. Hit it pure? You'll see a satisfying, piercing ball flight that just makes you want to hit another one."

Won't hurt my dog!

"Love our birdie ball set. I first bought just a sleeve but after hitting/chipping in backyard, I KNEW i would clean those three and gift them. Then buy ME a set of 12 with a hole and flag. I like them so much and feel much better about the fact I can no longer hurt my dog if I "blade" a ball. . . or fly one in my neighbors garden or off their house if I hit one too good! Haha. Great gift for any golf lover. Get 2 holes and chip over and back!! Thank you Jared. . saw you and your Dad using these on Facebook and wondered. . . what the heck are they chipping. . . shine on"
