Yes, FlightScope can work with foam balls, but it is not as accurate as with real golf balls. The reason for this is that foam balls are lighter than real golf balls, so they have less mass and therefore less momentum. This means that they travel shorter distances and are more affected by wind.
However, foam balls can be a good option for practicing in an indoor setting, where real golf balls are not allowed or where you are concerned about noise. They can also be a good option for younger golfers or golfers who are recovering from an injury.
If you are using foam balls with FlightScope, it is important to use a metallic sticker on the ball. This will help the sensor to track the ball more accurately.
Here are some tips for using foam balls with FlightScope:
- Use a metallic sticker on the ball.
- Use a shorter club, such as a 7 iron or a 9 iron.
- Hit the ball with a smooth, controlled swing.
- Expect the ball to travel shorter distances than a real golf ball.
With a little practice, you can still get valuable feedback from using foam balls with FlightScope.
