Can you hit plastic balls with this?

With the current version of the SwingTIP app you need to hit a real golf ball for it to register a swing. However, it will registers swings with some kinds of plastic balls that have some reasonable mass (e.g. Almost Golf balls).The next version of SwingTIP coming up in a few weeks will capture open-air swings as well as with all plastic balls.

Hi Brian, I tried with a plastic ball and it did not register, I bought a practice net and use golf balls in the back yard. They have added another app. that controls the camera on your phone so you can video each swing individually, this for me makes it the best value analyser on the market.

I am sure that you can but this is not something that i would recommend. Tis is just not really something you can accurately adjust

I believe it only works with regular golf balls. I found the item to be worthless and returned it. But maybe that's because I'm such a poor golfer that nothing could help me?

I don't think it will record it. Works really well on the range. I use it there all the time.

My husband only uses regular golf balls so I am not sure about that, but knowing that this device helps your swing, I would suppose the plastic golf balls would be fine since your swing would be the same wether or not you used regular or plastic balls. Hope this helps! I just know that the product has helped my husband a lot.

I do not think it does. It comes with plastic practice balls and that is what we use

good question, I have not used it, thinking not, since plastic does not bounce back the same way as metal.

No...the machine is not strong enough to push out a baseball. Only use the type of balls it comes with.

In my opinion, absolutely NOT. It works fine for tennis balls but the weight of baseballs would be too much.

Yes, however, the ball does not engage or release as easily as a tennis ball would, especially upon launch. I have a medium size Chuck-it and it's too much of a hassle to use with this ball. It's very lightweight at least.

No, I don't believe so. The ball it shoots out is only 7 1/2 inches in diameter -- slightly smaller than a baseball.

Yes it can, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can get white "dimple" practice balls with red laces painted on them for realism if that's what you are concerned about. If you were to use a raised-lace ball (real ball), you would want to make sure it went in the exact same way every time due to the height adjustment of the striker plate. You wouldn't want the laces causing accuracy issues. Also, it would chew them up over time, and the consistency would not be there. I'd also be concerned that real baseballs might damage the wheel over time.

This is whats considered a entry level reactive ball...You are looking for a plastic ball.. That will not hook.

Yes you can hit baseballs. It's all I use it for. And you can hit them as far or a close as you eant depending on players ability level.

I guess you could. I have not had any issue just grabbing the centerline and pulling half of the shell away then pushing the ball out of the other half.

You just need to make contact with something (the floor, maybe a rubber tee, something like that for it to register as a hit. Although I believe if you hit the floor your numbers may be a little off. I have a little mat (like a driving range mat) with a long tee coming out of it to act as the ball and it works fine for me. Awesome little product.

Hi, yes you can use/play with this Wilson Ball. It is an official game ball.

No, of course not. Takes lots of practice time to somewhat control the ball, but it's not a precision mechanism, so don't expect getting a strike100% of the time.

I mean if you plan on slamming the gun straight to the ground then yes. If not and accidently dropping it then no. The only thing that will really break is the orange part of the gun and then after that the gun just looks straight real. My experience with the gun was amazing, break easily no, plastic useless parts break off yes.

My son used it at a designated range for 45 minutes before it broke - not sure what size of plastic balls he was using, but I would doubt BB's. It won't last if you do buy it!
