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?

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

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...  ::)
