"Now most recreational players, their weakest shots actually are the long irons cause they don't get to practice them enough. So with the plastic Wiffle balls you can practice your long irons in your backyard, your front yard, inside your house, local park. So the more swings you're going to get with them the better you're going to hit them. So this allows you to get a lot of reps so if I'm not hitting my long irons very well I can definitely tell by how I hit the Wiffle ball. So let's say I'm slicing the ball a lot. OK, so I can start working on some ways to fix my slice. So that's why these plastic golf balls are great. Cause it really shows you what you're doing when you hit a real golf ball, if you slice a real golf ball you're going to slice one of these. But if all of a sudden you can hit this ball nice and straight it transfers back to a real golf ball. So, let's see if I can get this one straight. Not bad. So if I'm not hitting these balls well than I'm really not hitting the real ball well. So too many people don't really see the connection between using a Wiffle ball in their real game. So I think by watching this hopefully you see that this really can be very helpful plus just getting a lot more reps. You know if you don't have to drive to a range or course to practice, if you can just do it in your own home with the plastic balls that's going to add up, if you do this three times a week for ten or twenty minutes at your house, don't you think your game will improve that much faster. So take advantage of it, watch how the flight of the ball goes and your long iron play will get a lot better."
