x-Out Golf Balls

[whip_it_out]

I picked up Titleist Pro V1 X-Outs today for under 30 bucks. The Titlest webpage says the X Out ranking is all due to cosmetic problems, not any performance issues (I'll take their word, judgin by one doesn't have any logo on it, just a blank ball with "X OUT"). It's an amazing deal, i don't knwo why people would get so embarassed if their balls say x out, or people think theyre being cheap.

and, yes, I know the are not on the USGA conforming ball list, so I will not use them in the 1, maybe 2 tournaments I play per year.

You can go to lostgolfballs and get non x-outs for the same price in mint condition.

Actually, the X-Out Pro V1 ball are conforming. Just like the Pro V1 Practice balls...

Nothing wrong with X-outs. Unless you have to impress ALL the time. I hope people don't look down on others for playing them.

YEah, but the shipping to TX is 8-9 dollars. It ends up costing the same as new. I looked at that site and almost bought until i looked at the shipping.

and Smallville, the things ive read makes it seem like some people do get looked down on for it. Which doesn't make any sense to me, buying x outs is smarter,IMO, youre buying the same ball with a minor cosmetic imperfection at half the price.

Yeah...I like Lostgolfballs, but really only order from them when they have free shipping specials.

yea i use x-outs and actually pro v1s, they both are the same in my eyes, i never notice cosmetic errors on the x outs

I have played the Pro V1 Xouts from Dick's all season and found them to be great. If you use the Dick's coupons that come out now and then, I have picked them up for as low as $20 a dozen. Can't beat that.

I would prolly use lostgolfballs also, but right before I was gonna buy some from there i found out that a friend sells them in mint condition for $12 a dozen and $3 a dozen for just a little scuff on them, its a great great deal

So the only problem with X-Outs are cosmetics? Because I have seen a lot when I'm in USA and I have the fear of buying them because I didn't know why they are called X-Outs, but now I'm going to buy them, because loosing a normal ProV1x huts me a lot LOL.

Regards!

I've used X-Outs since I started playing. That's 30 years. Not exclusively, though probably close to half the time. Sometimes all that could be wrong with it is the name is smudged, or otherwise not perfectly printed. I am reasonably sure a reputable company that sells X-Outs (i.e., Titleist, Top Flite, etc.) would not simply X-Out a crap ball (out of round, or anything that would make it play bad) because I think their plan is to have people try their X-Outs when they are younger and have less money to spend and when they get older and have more cash to spend, they will buy their non-X-Out balls. Even now, I won't hesitate to buy X-Outs if there's nothing I like on sale.
