Issues with Durability of Pro Vs?
Posted on 4/28/19 at 7:26 pm
Posted on 4/28/19 at 7:26 pm
So I’ve been buying the refurb Pro Vs AA grade they sell at Target for a few years now. A dozen usually runs $23-$25. Up until recently I’ve never had complaints.
The two dozen I bought this year have been insanely fragile. Like a ball doesn’t last me more than a few holes without getting gouges or scratches rendering it unplayable. I played Audubon today and went through 4 V1Xs on the front. I had a sleeve of Wilson Duo Professional I wanted to try out and played the entire back nine with the same ball. And it damn near looks brand new.
Is this just a case of quality slipping on these balls? Or are the newer ProVs not as durable as they were a few years ago?

You were playing refurbished golf balls dumbass. Of course they’re not Going to hold up. Why don’t you try buying the real thing?

You're most likely playing refinished Pro V1s, where the original cover has been stripped.
Use somewhere like lostgolfballs.com for recycled Pro V1s, not the refurbished/refinished ones

I’ve never had issues with them until recently. Maybe one a box would have problems.

You can buy brand new snell golf balls for like $6 more than you paid for that bullshite

Atleast get the 5A refurbs baw, but if you went through or lost 4 balls on the front at Audubon maybe you need some Wilson’s, or pinnacle, maybe top flite.

Betting waiters get about 12% from you.... and you think they should be happy with that.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re not good enough to really get any benefit from ProVs.
Just buy a mid range ball new and live with it.

Thank you to the one person that gave me a serious response.

Yeah, I noticed several of the replies you got was way more snarky than necessary. The amount of people nowadays who seem constantly triggered and angry is rather disturbing. IMHO.

Try one of the cheaper Titleist balls like the Tour Soft. Cost is about the same as what you are paying for the refurbs.

I’m not a fan of the mid level titleist balls. I honestly like the response I get out of the Pro V1x.
I won’t feel bad for trying to get quality balls at a reduced price. I’ve had very good luck over the past few years with the refurbs up until recently. You never know what years model you are getting and I haven’t bought a new sleeve in a while. Didn’t know if anyone had issues with durability.
The golf snobs on here can be a little much.

Switch to Vice and get the same quality ball in much better shape for $24 a dz new.

No problem man. I've used lostgolfballs.com before and never have an issue.
You can get the mint 5A recycled Pro V1s for $21-22 a dozen for the 2016 models, or the 2018 models for $24-28 a dozen.
They're recycled, not refinished, and the 5A balls won't have any scuffs on them. You'll get a few that have a Sharpie mark or a corporate logo on them, but that's it

eh.....
Color me a skeptic with the Vice. I played with a few a couple of weeks ago and they felt like rocks when I hit an iron with them.
