I am thinking of buying: http://www.lostgolfballs.com/Titleis.../category_id/8

The AA version. But first I want to know what the standard condition of the balls are, and how accurate the picture is to the ball.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

They're the biggest if not the best recycled golf balls vendor in the US. Try the AAA first if you have not bought before. I think you'll be happy with their AAA grading system. There's a big step down when you go with the AA.

I bought 100 Nike balls from them last fall, mint condition, for $40 shipped. Great people to deal with, YMMV.

When I last needed to purchase golf balls, and wanted to try many, I picked up about 8 dozen of the AAA version of different types for a total of $75 or so. I was very happy. I need to buy more before too long, waiting for them to have a free-shipping offer on something. But I am going to go back to them!

I would definitely go with AAA quality. AA really isn't something you'd wanna take to the course, but AAA is really impressive. I just bought 10 dozen Pro V1's from them earlier today, and I've never had a problem playing anything other than AA quality.

So does anybody use 4A or 5A? 4A seems to be not a whole lot more than 3A, but 5A is way expensive (but still below retail).

Are these stamped with the A-AAAAA rating system? If they are, can they still be gamed at tourneys (where people care about that kind of thing).

Really cheap ones! They will literally evaporate if there is any water or deep brush anywhere. I didn't start searching for "better" golf balls until I started averaging about 1 lost per round...Which actually means I stopped finding B330s, ProV1s, and Tour i's in the woods while I was searching for my ball because I stopped losing mine.

When I started I used the Maxfli Noodles which weren't bargain basement, but they were 2 dozen for $15 at Sam's Club. And actually, that's actually a ball that I would still tee up.

When I started, I picked up a ton of cheap Top-Flite Strata on ebay. They don't feel that bad off of cast clubs - no worse than range balls. And I think I paid something like 33 cents each, including shipping. By the time I was ready to move on up to "better" balls, I had over three dozen left over. I gave them to friends who needed them.

Literally, the cheapest good-condition ball you can find. If you are just starting, it will be months, years before it will make any difference.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
