So I went ahead and won a bid on some used Prov V1X balls...36 to be exact. Described as 18 mint and 18 near mint. It is just off a guy not one of the big company that specialize in this. So I knew to keep my expectations a little lower. After getting the balls...and using a grading system heavily favored in his advantage, here is what I came up with:

Mint – 9
Near Mint – 8
Average – 12 (these have cart path rash, and missing cover)
Shag bag – 6 (all 6 of these have cuts in them)
NXT – 1 (this is not even a Pro V1 at all)

He offered to take the balls back...but expects me to pay the shipping. Am I missing something here? Like I said, even the balls I graded as "average" I would put in my shag bag. Heck, one was not even a Pro V. Why should I pay the shipping to return the balls?

I would suggest opening a case against him for product not as described. And him making you pay shipping is ridiculous. If you must pay shipping Id recommend telling him you are keeping the 9 mint balls as compensation.

OK...one more question. He has now agreed to refund my money and pay the return shipping. He says he will do this once he receives the balls back. Is this right? This would be my first return via ebay.

Thank you for the info.

I think you,d be safe doing that because PayPal won,t release his money until you give him a possitive feedback. I believe it falls under the buyer protection policy.

I'm not sure I'd front the guy the money for the return shipping. Make sure you document

I've never had a bad experience using EBAY buying used balls (sorry to hear that you did though) I guess there are always some shady dealings out there....as far as I know (seeing I've never had any issues with anything I sold or bought on EBAY) but my Wife's Best Friend bought a DS game for her Son and it wasn't exactly what the listing said and it had a few nicks and all that, so she e-mailed the guy and what not and he had thousands of transactions so he sent her back the money and allowed her to keep the DS (he stated that he had to many dealings to get bad feedback so he'd rather do it that way)

Agreed. Also if you want to buy used balls. Go to a legit online store. golfballnut.com is a pretty good site

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green.

      Long Iron

      By klineka ·

      I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.

      Obviously I'm not you and you have a far more mature swing than mine, but swing length is an issue for me as well if you see my swing thread. What I'm finding is more the difference between arm plane (vertical) and shoulder plane (flat), more the arm runs off (length) uncontrolled. It could be coincidence.

      By saevel25 ·

      Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉.
