range balls

Driving range projectiles

Range balls are golf balls used at driving ranges for practice rather than actual play.

They're typically marked with colored stripes and built to withstand repeated use, with construction that sacrifices some performance for durability.

Serious golfers distinguish them from "real" balls: These range balls don't fly like my Pro V1s.
