I am a full time golf ball diver. I havent really heard of anyone refurbishing anything but Pro V1 golf balls. But i guess you guys are buying them so they must be out there. Personaly i wouldnt buy them. They are scuffed and discolored balls that have been repainted and lettered and who knows how old they are. Pro V's have such a soft cover that one hit will leave a scuff or knick on the ball. If you have to buy a refurbished ball make it a Pro V just cause it probably has only made it through 9 holes before it was retired from being all beat up. Pro V's only last on average a month in the water before they blister up and the refurbisher's wont buy blistered pro v's. I have found a couple refurbished pro v's on my dives and the work the refurbishers do is crap in my book. All they do is paint the ball white and they are to cheap to put the clear coat on the ball which will make the paint chip with a hit or two. Lettering they stamp on the ball is way out of line. Next time compare a reg pro v next to refurb. pro v and look how the brand name follows the pattern of the dimples. If they would just take the extra time and clear coat the ball it would be just like having a new pro v. Refurbishers are just after an easy buck. You will get a better deal if you just check out golf balls on craigslist. You can pick the ones you want out of buckets of balls and most pro v's will only cost you a buck.
