Question 1

What are the actual flight distances?  I have a small yard and don't want to be asking the neighbor for my balls back.

Accepted Answer

Full swing with an 8 iron, I only hit them about 12-15 yards max. With a driver, they go about 20 yards. They go about half as far as the foam balls I have and about 1/3 as far as the "almost golf" brand practice balls I have hit. These are my least favorite practice balls that I have used (generic foam, callaway foam, almost golf, quolf and birdie ball). They don't feel realistic and the ball flight does not seem real like the others do. These stay lower and I have yet to slice one (or draw one, but slicing is the most likely with my swing). I also find that the don't work well for chipping practice for me either. I hit a couple of these and switched to real balls and these were flying higher than the real balls which is the opposite of what they do on a full swing (fly lower). They are much more durable and are fun for playing pitch and fetch with my dog. She chews on them and they show no signs of wear and tear. I did suck one up in the mulcher though and it did pay the ultimate price.

Question 2

Can I hit these with a golf club?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are impact golf balls. They are designed to be hit with a golf club.

Question 3

How far does an average 5 iron travel?

Accepted Answer

These have EXTREMELY limited flight, I’d say a 5 iron would travel maybe 30 yards

Question 4

How well do these balls perform in the wind? I am looking for a ball to practice on the beach from a turf mat.

Accepted Answer

They are a tough practice golf ball, but there is one I like better.  The one's I like are called Aketek Practive Golf balls, Foam 12 count. $10.00.  I got a pack of orange and a pack of blue.  I also got the SKLZ impact, but I have stuck them away because the others perform better.
