The session

Air-powered cannons. Ready, aim, fire for the hole in one.

Ball Blaster takes the floating-green challenge and turns it into something completely different. Step up to the compressed air launcher, line up your shot across Lake Taupō, and fire golf balls toward the flags without ever picking up a club. It’s part game, part spectacle, and a lot of fun to watch from the deck.

The Ball Blaster is set to match the power needed to reach the target. Aim up or down to control height, left or right for direction, and use the pressure button to adjust distance.

This one is made for kids, non-golfers, big kids, groups, and anyone who wants a shot at the green without worrying about their swing. Our crew will show you how it works, help you find the target, and keep the balls flying.
