-
Where? :)
-
you can get the smaller ones at most sports shops (JJB,etc)
they are used as practise golf balls for the back garden.
I must say i should use them most of the time when playing golf
I am that good ! :'( :'(

I see Gardiners have a patent on these for wfp use. What does that mean - you can't make your own? I don't fully understand patents or does it mean you can't copy them for financial gain?
-
Theyve got tescos logo on the packet and there exactly the same.
-
Thanks. I will go and take a look in the next couple of days.

Picked some up today. What's the best way to make the hole in it? (I don't think a drill will work.)

pop along to your local gun club
get a bit of blue tack
pop ball on top of head with bit of blue tack under it
ask them to fire away
or you could just get a drill and drill a hole though it, its only foam, a drill will fly though it
-
nice one matt

what the heck are these things? ???

Have you done this Matt? It just seems the foam is too soft to drill, hence my comment that I didn't think a drill would work... ::)

-
Yes it works and like matt says very easy.

load of balls if you ask me
-
The ones from Gardners are just too small for my needs, A bigger ball gives more protection and stops the hose going passed the guides on the reel.
I know most guys use them on their pole hose, but I think that the female connector on the main hose is the one in need of most protection.
-
use a tennis ball?
-
i took protecta balls off and use tennis balls much better
-
Im toyaly mystified as to what you guys are on about on this post, anyone got any pics of how you use these things?
-

I use protecta balls on both the pole hose connector and the microbore female connector. As you say, this provides needed protection. We also supply protecta balls in Jumbo size as pictured below:

Alex, a cable tie placed behind the ball will stop it sliding up the hose, don't cut it too short though, leave an inch sticking out.

the comidic potential to these post has me in tears
