Most often in recent weeks I have been purchasing recycled golf balls. They cost a lot less than new ones. (Although I still purchase new ones on occasion...)
So, what do you prefer? Do you prefer to spend the money on new ones, or save lots of money and purchase recycled ones? |

I buy recycled ProV1's normally. I'm trying the Wilson 50/50's right now (bought new on sale). Will try out the Bridgestone 330's next.
I never buy new unless it is a really good deal. If you don't lose a ball, how many rounds would you use it? You'd use it again right? Well you are using a used ball - no different than when I buy some other guy's ball that he lost three holes into the first round. Just buy the grade A or mint/near mint condition. |

I typically will buy refurbished 3-4 star Pro-V's at the same $25/dozen some people may pay for new balls. I do not loose many balls so it's a better purchase I feel.

No ..No No...When will you guys ever wise up?? It's compression.... Wilson Zip or 50/50... hit more greens, make more putts, and drive the ball farther.

Hogan - I tried the 50/50's and they were pretty good. I'm going to bounch between the ProV1's and the Wilsons to see if I can determine which is better for me! Thanks for the tip! |

It's a very personal issue.
I agree with rcedrone, whatever you play, try to play one brand and one type of golf balls for a period of time. The construction of a golf ball will even make a difference for the driver spin ( elevation and/or side spin ). And if you don't lose a bunch of golf balls during the 18, treat yourself to some golf ball that fits your game. |

I like the Taylormade Burner Reds. New they are not that expensive,$20 a doz. Used in perfect shape they go about $12
a doz from Dr Mulligan. Captial one is sending me a brand new box for rewards points.LOL I like the distance and they are soft. I also Like Noodles for a change of pace. It took time to find a ball I felt comfortable with and it is different for everyone. I'm a high handicapper and won't spend a fortune for balls that don't match my game. It would be like buying a Tour driver that I couldn't hit because of my swing speed. |

Hey guys, you're speaking my language. That's my business!! Check out my website at www.drmulligans.com .
Lower prices than just about ANYONE (check our Competitor Pricing Page). Discounted prices when you buy at least 4 dozen of the same model. And an even BETTER discount when you buy at least 8 dozen. NOBODY else is doing that for you. Their prices are the same whether you buy 1 dozen or 100 dozen. Free shipping on orders over $99. OUR mint grade balls look like they just rolled out of the sleeve and DO NOT have pen marks like most other site top grade balls. Check us out! Don Dr. Mulligan's Golf Balls |

I just went to the recycled balls this year. A group of us together bought a dozen of our favorite brand each on-line. Except for the ocassional "logo ball" (there were only a few), they looked and played like brand new. I've been hitting Pro V's for about a year, ussually gifts or from vendors. But now I'm planning to order one of the "mixed brands" packages so I can really get a feel for the ball I should be playing with. Used balls makes this an affordable opportunity.
