Not yet, but I'm not adverse to giving it a go. However, like I mentioned earlier, I did wrap up a Rusty Sling ball, which is softer than a golf ball, and with a core that heavy and compact, it was just too hard.

you partially fill a balloon with wet sand, then add several more balloons until you have a rusty ball.

I suspect it loses something in translation as it's one of jaegoors inventions

there are various variations. I found that while they make good ammo. They have a tendency to deform on release if you sling them hard.

I sling foam rubber ones that are the same size as a tennis balls but heavier, softer and go further.

Can't say I've seen those kind of dogs balls before, but I have got a few of the heavier tennis balls designed for dogs. They have a tendency to split after a while. They don't last as long as a regular tennis ball, and the difference in weight is negligable. The only other dog's balls I've come across are the solid rubber ones. They would just about lay you out cold if you got hit with one of those though!

I just made and tried a Rusty today. These things are downright lethal. I would not want to be on the receiving end of one! I suspect they would easily cause a concussion or break smaller bones. Good for target practice, and the one I made comes in at 110gms, and feels much nicer to sling than a tennis ball. It reads better for release timing, sits better in the sling and hits better on the target.

These are what I sling for the hound. Can't say if they'd be what you're after but I don't see why they wouldn't be suitable. They're heavy duty sponge and are less than a pound a ball when purchased in multiples.

I already do. I wouldn't suggest for a moment that my ever-loving girlfriend fits the criteria but that's irrelevant as I always miss.

I've been noodling this one for quite some time now and I think it's important that they be slightly painful to be hit with, but not be able to cause any actual injuries. It's a tall order I know.
