Is there a place where I can order trial packs of multiple golf balls? Like 3 of this and 3 of that, as a means of trying balls to find the one i want to play?

Some golf course club houses sell 3 packs, but they charge through the roof for them. I don't know of anywhere that sells a lot of three packs, but I have seen some behind the counter at golf superstores.

I think it would be best to buy a bunch of used balls. If you can find a golf show or expo or something like that they often have people who sell used balls by the ball.

thanks this is close to what I was looking for.

I would still prefer to pick precisely which balls I want, but this helps thank you

The golfsmith near me seemed to have 3-packs of most balls. I assumed that was pretty normal.

yeah but they charge a ton for them. I guess I should have clarified that I was looking for used golf balls. I have trouble spending $8-$12 on a 3 pack of golf balls. So I would love to order say 3 bridgestone e6, 3 srixon trispeed, 3 taylormade burners, etc and get them all grouped together

The Golfsmith near me sells balls by the sleeve. Go talk to a manager and see if they will give you a discount if you buy 4 sleeves, as if you were buying a dozen of the same ball. I have done this before and have received something off each sleeve. Or, buy a dozen from them and see if they will allow you to return a sleeve in exchange for a sleeve of a different ball. That may be easier for their record keeping. Good luck.

I know the golf galaxy that I go to always has 3 packs by the checkout lines. They look like they probably came out of open boxes. There's always a good selection and you can usually get them at a good price.

if you can find three other friend who want to do the same thing, you can each buy a dozen of different balls and exchange sleeves.

+1 This is exactly what I was going to recommend.

Ah, used makes sense. The prices didn't seem so bad to me, since $8-$12 for a 3-pack is $32-$48 for a 12-pack, which is about right. The prices seemed a lot better than pro shop sleeves, though.

+2 - why are all the great ideas the most logical?

That is a good idea, but it still doesn't answer my question of if there is a place that exists where you can hand select which balls you want.

I know there are some courses that have bins of lost balls and you can pick and choose and generally at golf shows you can. I was just wondering if a store or web site existed where you could do the same

    • I would not think of aimpoint as being a "there's a right way to do this and a wrong way" on this aspect of it (you need to use % slope to have it tie to finger width though for example). If it's working for you, then have at it. I personally haven't 100% bought into the whole thing yet (although I am getting there). I use it to verify my sight read or if i'm struggling to figure out what it's going to do. That said I had a putt last week from about 25 feet on my last hole. I looked from behind and thought it looked like it was breaking about 2 feet. I tested it and got about 2% at the ball, 1.5% at a 1/3 of the way and 1% at 2/3 of the way, so I figured about 1.5% on average, which worked out to about 18" or so I think. I didn't quite trust it so I went with my original read (I often find aimpoint underestimates the break for me - I need to do more work on my calibration). It broke quite a bit early and then straightened up and actually at the end went a tiny bit back the other way. If I took all four measurements (3/3, 2/3, 1/3 and 0/3) and trusted it, I'd have probably ended up holing it.

    • I didn't knew either that the method changed in the last years. I agree that over maybe 8 feet the difference between the reality and the fingers method is not significant because of been the length of the putt longer than the height of the player. But inside that area and closer to 3 feet the difference is important and can lead to confusion.  
    • We dropped our AimPoint certification (wasn't close to worth the annual nut) a few years ago, and it's not "wrong" to use your fingers on the low edge, but basically… you get some guidelines on where to aim and then kinda massage it to fit what kind of putt you want to hit. The speed at which people like to hit putts inside of 6' especially changes things a lot.
