Do you play new or recycled golf balls?

I can't tell you the last time I bought a box of new balls


Lostgolfballs.com has been my ball source for several years now. They are very good at grading and their 5As are virtually brand new

Even the 4A balls have the slightest of imperfections and if they send you any balls in your order that you disagree with, they will replace them.

I'm sure there are purists that think recycled balls have lost performance, but I don't think it's enough to impact my game, if it even exists

Another great thing about that website is they are located near houston, so normal shipping to BR is like 1 or 2 days

I haven't paid for a golf ball in six years. One of the perks of my job.

At the rate I lose balls, new ones don't make sense.

For a tournament, I will usually play a new ball, but for regular rounds, it is TaylorMade Black TD LDPs for me, AAAA.

I haven't paid for balls in a while. Usually get them free or win them.

I was a big big fan of he reds but I've just about run out


The ball is discontinued too and I'm not sure which new TM ball is the replacement, possibly the Penta Tp3 but not sure


Lately I've played prov1x or srixon xv

Shipping is free over 75

I always find a buddy to go in with for an order or I just order enough to get to 75

Shipping normally kills most of the deal of it ain't free

Nope. I got 100 aaaaa NXT's delivered yesterday from lostgolfballs ebay store for $86. I also buy balls from a kid that I go to church with. 65¢/ball for pretty much aaaaa premium balls like pro v's, b330's, etc.

I went to academy the other day and took a box of pro v1's and put all the sleeves in the cheapest box of balls I could find.

I see that shite all the time. Make sure to check your Pro V1 Box before you leave stores like Academy. I saw a pro v1 box stuffed with top flites. I would have been pissed if I didn't check.

I got the idea off of this site. What does that say? I never did that before.

Been lurking on that site waiting for 5A Nike 20XI to try. Half price is half price. I'll usually reuse balls until they are pretty messed up during a round anyways.
