I actually lucked out this winter, I got ~3000 used range balls for 400$ from a friend who was selling all his range equipment and closing his range (a lot of work for very little $$$). I picked out all of the ones which looked to be in great shape (about 500), and im keeping the rest for our annual Canada day party at our cottage. 2500 balls to drive into the water should be a good time and make for some drunken laughs (and lost clubs in the ocean im sure).

The good ones are my practiced balls. We own a 4acre field in back of our home, so most of them will end up there, over and over. Not looking forward to picking them up.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Man that would be ablast hitting them balls into the ocean like that...seeing as I have never ben on the ocean .... LOL

I too have large pastures around my house; I keep one bush hogged real low to hit balls into. I would have a permanent back arch picking up balls if it werent for my shag bag. If you dont already have one I would advise you get one...they are a back saver.

I currently play with a few guys from UK and when I mentioned a shag bag one day they thought this was hilarious. One of them decided to get one and went to local Golf Galaxy. He couldn't find one so he asked for help but was afraid to say "Shag Bag" so he was describing it. When the salesperson said the term he and his wife busted out laughing.

I know this doesn't really answer the question, but I just rotate my used balls to the shag bag. I used to include balls found on the course, but really don't even have to do that because I just don't lose practice balls faster than I add new ones.

But then, I'm not hitting full shots in a field......primarily putting, chipping, and sand practice for me.

Its funny how fast you can loose 100 balls when you are hitting into a pasture. But then again its equally amazing how good the mower is at finding them.

I buy my practice balls from a local golf shop that sells them in potatoe sacks. If I remember correctly, I paid $35 for 750 balls. I just hit them out into a field or before a round if their are woods around.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
