The “Golf Ball Call”
Recently I had taken a trip with my family up to one of my favorite spots – Northern Michigan. We had a great itinerary – hang out in Traverse City for the 4th of July and then a stop at Mackinac Island. They’d never been in the area, so as a native, I had to show them the sites. Being so close to the Upper Peninsula, it was totally worth the while to take the trip over the Mackinac Bridge. So we did! Well, I didn’t have any golf planned, but holy smokes, I ran into a golf item that might just change my game for the better! Take a look below at the Golf Ball Call. I found this beaut at the Castle Rock store in St. Ignace, Michigan…
Anyway, I read through the instructions, and from what it looks – this thing will FIND your ball if you CALL it. Damn. I can use that. I hit it really far and really straight, and almost never lose balls, but this thing might take me to the next level. Let’s give it a look.
First Look at the Golf Ball Call
This is a fine, handcrafted item, likely made from the best Michigan hardwood. It’s got a couple holes in it, likely for the “call” function to work. Looks great and feels awesome in your hands. Solid. What I really like is the “Golf Ball Call” graphics that let you know exactly what you’re dealing with. I wish more manufacturers would pay attention to detail like this.
On Course Review
The cool thing about the Golf Ball Call is that it gives you directions on how to use it. Essentially, you blow into it. Says “no real sound is provided” – apparently so when your hack buddy is swinging, it’ll “work” and not distract. Pretty clever, if you ask me.
If you lose a drive (unlikely, for me, of course!) you go to where you think you lost your ball (what’s more expensive than ProV1’s btw?) bend over and blow. OK, so I tested that a lot. Really, I just found myself pacing around and bending over. Weird. Never found many balls.
So here’s the deal. We aim to be thorough at Driving Range Heroes in all our reviews. I spent the course of seventeen rounds testing the Golf Ball Call, and I’ve yet to find or “control” a single one. Maybe I need another, more premium, brand to check out?
Final Thoughts
This thing sucks. The Driving Range Heroes recommend that you don’t buy golf equipment from a tourist trap gift shop.
I do NOT know which is a greater waste of time. This golf ball call or your site.
Our site. By a mile. But thanks for regularly stopping by, reading, and commenting on it, Don. We appreciate it!
