    Never occurred to me to hit one with a golf club. Anybody ever tried? I remember them being significantly bigger than a golf ball.

    Somebody is using them

    I've found 2 Intech Hot Titanium balls so far this year at area courses. This illegal ball can be purchased at Walmart.

    As Spidey said, I was afraid to try these slightly smaller and heavier balls in case they damaged my driver.

    nothing goes farther than a Condor Gold golf ball. yes, they are only for distance, but if you're going to go illegal, might as well get the most out of it

    I tried a dozen... net result, I have a hair crack in the face of my driver. When I bought them, I was told that they did not meet the diameter rule. Only myself to blame....

    That blows. Of course this could end up with a silver lining. If your driver was a callaway they may set you up with a brand new one.

    I cracked the face of my VFT at the range hitting frozen balls one spring and ended up with a new driver thanks to the great service at callaway.

    Not sure how other manufacturers handle this situation.

    Back in the 80's when the Taylor Made metal woods were just coming onto the market. I knew a couple of guys in the proshop who's clubs came apart inside their woods. (started to rattle) The clubs were injected with some type of foam or filler. Taylor Made gave new clubs as a replacement. Even after a whole season.
    I still have the one of the original Brassies (11 degree) in my bag.

    Takes years of hard work to get a good reputation as a golfer and only one drive to be considered a "cheat" and loose it. With so much "illegal" stuff around, I would think twice.
