ive been looking for something like a golf ball on a string. kinda like those soccer ball trainers were you kick the ball and it comes back.
Its so i can hit a golf ball in my backyard and not have it fly into my neighbors window. a device with a golf ball, string and something to make it come back (other than a elastic band, i dont want to break my own windows).
ive been looking on google and all ive found was large nets, which isnt something i want in my back yard.

Dont really think thatd work. Nothing garden sized could really dampen a golfball going at what, 150mph, within the area you want. ---

Or buy a golf ball, buy a few 100 feet of string (depending on how far your neighbours house is) a 50 pound weight and some ductape? :P _______________________________________________________________________

the closest thing to what i want is called a glidball but it still seems to big, if i get one of those i migth as well be getting a net.
ive seen the spinner thing, but i was to have the satisfaction of seeing the ball move someplace

Haha, what I wouldn't pay to see someone "Minmitar" up some golf ball on a string rig only to have it circle around and free the beast on the back of their head... the very thought makes me smile

Originally by: MrTriggerHappy Buy a Nintendo Wii and tiger woods golf
I was gonna get a Wii, even though they seemingly don't make them anymore (they are like rocking horse %^&*).
I looked at the back of the box of tiger wood's golf. The graphics (bearing in mind that these will be the best shots to show them) were shockingly bad, PS1 style. I like the price, i like the innovation, but bugger me, going backwards in graphics? The gamecube has far better, in a smaller box, made by the same dam company and was also cheap.

heh, Cash Converters buy my work sell them for ú25 2nd hand.
Would be worth it for the nintendo exclusive games like smash bros. and zelda, etc. As this is the best graphcis nintendo system to date, it's still the cutting edge of those games for ú25 lol.

Yeh, it's black like the old one, think the controller looks identical to first xbox's now. Comes with 120gb HD and HD Cables/ports,etc like the PS3.
Doesn't look as nice as the grey one i don't reckon, i want blue or gold!

Get lots of rubber bands and tie the ball to your golf club. MacGuyver would do it!

Your whole "ball on a string" reminded me of this.

Any "string" able to keep a golfball in your garden would have to be pretty thick, so thick that it would more than likely affect your shot, but more than likely it would just become detached from whatever was holding it in the ground.
An elastic string would keep it where you need it to be, but as you can imagine that would be slightly painful.

Dont know whether your in the UK or not but we have a shop called Sport and Soccer which has just what you need.
Its basically a golf ball that hangs from a bracket and when you hit it it rotates around the bracket, the way it spins gives feedback on your stroke.
However i cant find a website for this store.

Why not get one of those big net things?
You just set up the net not too far in front of you and whack the ball
