just wanted to put a plug in for this site as I've used it recently and been THRILLED with their stuff. I searched for deals on golf balls on Amazon.com and came upon this site. Golfballnut.com is a used golf ball site much like lostgolfballs.com. The difference is that this site does not absolutely RIP YOU OFF with $9 shipping charges on 12 golf balls. I ordered a dozen Bridgestone B330Rx balls from them, listed as "very good" condition for $19 (this is like the third ranking down on their site which goes from New, Mint, Near Mint, then very good). These balls were FLAWLESS. It was rare even to find a single small imperfection on any of them. With shipping the total price tag was $23...I was so happy that I ordered a second dozen from them to stock up. I recommend this site to anyone looking for a deal on golf balls. My experience with them has been amazing.

Im new to buying used golf balls and think I am going to buy a bunch of different balls to test out for the spring, and my question is what are the different types?

Are recycled and refurbished the same - and are these the balls where a new finish is put on.

Should I just get balls that are - Used mint = barely used.



I just want balls that are - Barely used -Cleaned - Put in a box!

Refurbished = repainted (stay away)
Recycled = used & lost, 3-4 grades of use

I don't think any of the used golf ball places box their balls - when I've ordered, they've come in a plastic bag inside a shipping box.

I've used Lostgolfballs.com a few times and have been very happy with the quality of balls I received (I typically order the 5A balls). I wasn't ever charged excessive shipping - maybe I caught a deal or something?

Well I live in California and every time I've ordered from them (lostgolfballs) the standard shipping has been almost $10. Absolutely ludicrous when you consider that the balls come via USPS in their smallest standard shipping box available. One weekend if you're bored go down to the P.O. and put 12 balls in one of those boxes then take it to the counter and ask to mail them...it's not close to $10. Golf Ball Nut has as good if not better (in my experience, their "very good" quality is exactly the same as the AAAA balls that I got from lostgolfballs) balls with the most reasonable shipping I've seen...and they get to me in no more than 2-3 business days. Awesome!

I've bought from GBN before and they are great... the reason I choose them over LGB is that the shipping is significantly cheaper. Their quality is excellent... even "very good" balls were nearly perfect.

Maybe this thread should be moved to the "Balls" sub-forum.

I havent' used GBN yet but I'll check them out. In regards to lostgolfballs.com, I have used them multiple times and they almost always have free shipping on orders $75 and up so, I just buy at least $75 worth of balls from them.

Seems like a good site. I prefer LostGolfBalls because their website is better, they have more variety, and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) the volume discounts...100/50 ball buckets at unbeatable prices. I play a ball (TaylorMade TP Black LDP) that's being phased out by its manufacturer, and so I really depend on these sites.

Current Gear Setup: Driver: TM R9 460, 9.5, Stiff - 3W: TM R9, 15, stiff - Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Black, 18, stiff - Irons: Callaway X Forged 09, 3-PW, PX 5.5 - SW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 54.14 - LW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 60.12 - Putter: PING Redwood Anser, 33in.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
