refurbished golf balls

[ADUBZ2005]

how big of a difference do you guys think there is between refurbished balls (pro v1x or hx tour) and a new one?

I've used the Highest grade ones and I really didn't notice a difference. These had no scuffs and looked no different than new ones to me. Check Dealsongolfballs.com for some great prices and there is a GolfWRX discount.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've got a mental problem using a refurbished or found ball. I think all balls have a "lifespan". Some are made to play 18 holes and some are meant to be lost in the bush after the first hit. If I find one...even if it's a ProV1 in new shape....it goes in the shag bag. The good karma's all used up in the bush or water! :)

I think that's a little rediculous.

 

The fact is there is no such thing as karma to a golf ball...it doesn't know the difference whether its in a bush or in the fairway.

 

I say go ahead and play yourself some refurbed balls, they come looking just like new and some even have cool logos on them. You can get ProVs refurbed for $22/dozen on austads.com (I bought 3 boxes from there)

That's why I said "I don't know if it's just me" and "mental problem". I know it sounds rIdiculous but that's just a "thing" I have with my golf balls. Like you think some balls have cool logo's. I can't stand logo balls and whenever someone gives me a dozen, some lucky friend of mines gets them or they end up in the shag bag too. :)

You are probably not alone. If my memory serves, Els said the similar stuff -- every ball gets birdy once in ball's lifetime. So he will replace the ball once got a birdy.

i also think els said something about 3 or 4 putts with a ball too.

 

i have no problem playing the mint/near mint used balls. i've compared the used ball and new ball (actually on a launch monitor - i brought my own ball and then after a few shots thought maybe i should use a brand new ball and bought some at the shop during the fitting) and there was no difference in ball speed, spin or launch angle.

 

i usually will tee the first hole with a used ball (first hole jitters and such) and then on the second hole go to a new ball. if i'm playing real bad (which means i'm losing balls quickly) i go with used balls.

I've heard Els say that too.

 

I like Ernie, but he's definitely wrong on this one. I (and I'm sure may others) have personally made 2 or more birdie's with the same ball hundreds of times. :)
