Question 1

How different is from the almost golf balls? how far do they go?

Accepted Answer

Almost golf balls versus SCI-CORE golf balls:
The Almost golf ball:
Smaller than a regulation golf ball;
Travels (for me anyway) 50% the distance of a regulation ball  (using PW-6 iron);
Curves (spin rate and dimple pattern?) more than a regulation golf ball, which is good for learning to control a golf ball;
Likely due it’s relatively hard outer shell (compared to the SCI-CORE golf ball); light weight, and smaller size, it is slightly less forgiving than a regulation golf ball;

The SCI-CORE golf ball:
Larger than a regulation golf ball. It is the same size as the Callaway foam ball with the same seam in the middle;
Travels (for me anyway) 70% the distance of a regulation ball (using PW-8 iron);
Curves (spin rate and dimple pattern) slightly less than a regulation golf ball;
Likely due it’s relatively soft outer shell, heavier weight, and larger size, it is much more forgiving than a regulation golf ball

Pro’s versus cons:

The Almost golf ball is better for fine tuning your golf swing when hitting outdoors in non-windy conditions. I have about 90 yards between my hitting mat and the bushes in my backyard; so, I’m limited to my 6-iron, I then have to switch to foam balls, which I don’t like. Because of its smaller size, the Almost golf ball does not perform well when sitting on a rubber tee, and its lighter weight makes its less fun hitting into a net.

The SCI-CORE golf ball is better for hitting shorter irons outdoors (depending upon how much space you have) in more windy conditions or when you are learning a new swing movement. It is exceptional for hitting driver and 3-wood into a net when mishits could cause damage (and mishits will happen even though the net manufactures never show them!).

IMO, both balls are overpriced. I think the Almost golf ball is no longer being manufactured; so, maybe the lack of demand made them non-economical to make. I love hitting practice balls in my yard, but don’t like the foam balls; so, I’m always on the look out for Almost and SCI-CORE type golf balls.

Question 2

Will it easily break a window or dent a car?

Accepted Answer

I used it in my house and broke a lamp shade.
