The "notion" of breaking your neighbour's windows using a golf ball is nothing new. Apparently, someone was so marked by the "upsetting the neighbour" experience, that he tried to find a solution to reestablish peace in the neighborhood. Why does a practice golf ball has to be hard as rock? That was the question that needed an answer. "Praise the lord, even a soft ball can fly!", he must've said. Now, the new discovery has a patent-pending design and it's dubbed Floppy!

It may look like a delicate ball, but this indoor golf ball is a woven covered pliable ball that can take lots of kicks in the behind. There's no need to worry about putting too much muscle power in a shot. Your walls and windows will probably be safe from harm. If it rains outside, the Floppy golf ball is actually perfect for practicing your game at the office or at home. The ball is just as good in improving your "muscle memory". It will give you the same feeling and feedback of a normal golf ball and it will probably spare you the trouble of paying for your neighbour's damaged windows again. Come to think of it, you will probably be able to move back with your wife since you can now practice your flop shots, pitches and chips without breaking her antique Chinese porcelain collection.

The experience of hitting a floppy is not any different than hitting any other golf ball. The ball even acts as a golf ball, rolling and spinning around. Who would've thought? One thing it won't do is fly real high like a real golf ball would. There are dozens of these for sale. A box which contains a dozen Floppy Indoor Golf Balls sells for 35$. You can also buy a package that holds 3 pieces for 10$.
