Is there anywhere that buys back, or trades, unused, brand new golf balls?

For example, I've been trying out several different balls lately to try to settle on one. But after trying a lot of them, I've decided that I don't care for some of them very much and do not want to use them. So I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could take them and they'd buy them back (even if for pennies on the dollar) or something like that?

Or, are they just a learning experience sitting in my house for all eternity (or at least until I decide I want to go hit them into the water somewhere)?

If you find some, let me know - I've got a closet full, and I've only been playing 3 years

I find giving them to friends who are starting, or who just plain aren't good, is a nice way to get rid of them. I try to give them away by types, so they can experience some consistency.

Or, if you got balls that are the wrong type for you - such as when I was trying Bridgestone's B330 - give them to a good player who can use them. I gave a leftover sleeve of B330 to a friend who hits the ball a mile, and watched him hit a personal-best 9 holes yesterday.

So, while I don't know how to sell them, I do know how to get rid of them.

Try Ebay. I frequently buy balls off there. I got 8 dozen callaway warbirds for $50 shipped.

      39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
