I only use the range for working on my swing tempo/technique etc....never for distance....the range balls at my course are hard as a rock as well so they feel solid everytime i hit one even if it slices or hooks.......I think when we were golfing this past weekend someone said they lived by a "floating range".....what are those and I wonder how effective those balls are for distance if they float?!?

I hit "floaters" once at a range on the Buena Vista course at Disney in Orlando. They're even worse than the "limited distance" balls I've hit here. They're so short that I was using a 9-iron to reach a the 100 yard target, which was surrounded by water (thus the need for "floaters").

They're called floaters because when they go into water, they usually don't bury themselves in the mud below and are easier to harvest, but they don't actually float, they're just a little more buoyant than a regular golf ball.
