Anyone ever bought "AA" quality golf balls from lostgolfballs.com?

My "AAAA" quality Maxfli's are basically "AAAAA" quality, and was wondering if "AA" would basically be "AAA"...

In other words, I'm trying to get some cheap Pro V1's.

I got Taylormades from lostgolfballs - they were AAA i think, they're never brand new but you get pretty good golfballs. A good few had marker dots or logs, a few had scratches and the paint was off on a couple. Not perfect, though I never had a problem with performance- but considering the price of them, deffo worth it.

The cover tends to come off easier - I think it's somethig to do with the way they're cleaned (they're not "refinished").

Generally - i'd go for the best quality ball from a seller (A, AA, AAA, AAAA, MINT, etc.) - it'll never be brand new but we never own golf balls. Only borrow them.

WEAPONS:

With a handicap around 20, I am not sure you should worry so much about it. If you latch onto a ball that spins like that, you might find it more trouble than it is worth. Just my 2 cents.

Im about to order a couple dozen pro v1x's in AA from there... the AAA's I got from there were damn near perfect except a few player ID's.... more perfect than I need and id rather spend money on greens fees than balls.

Absolutely not. Of course give it a try. I think you will find that sometimes just the confidence might help.

doesn't hurt to try..but don't go buying up 7 dozen in that big batch they offer. you'll get A FEW good ones...but most of them are SHOT! scratches....scraped faces so the ball flight's a little different... BUT you can find some gems that you just want to play an entire summer without losing b/c it's just your lucky ball.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
