has anyone done this?
good results/bad results?

what about quality of used/refinished balls? The big sellers have lots of ways to grade them - how do you know what you're getting?

Theres been many comments about these on a few forums. I bought 100 for £25 on ebay and they were a lot of dunlop and slazenger balls. I wouldn't really notice the difference as im a high handicapper (have once or twice though), but a lot of people don't like them as the majority of them are lake balls and if a ball is in water for more than a day, it affects its performance in someway. I done this before but i think from now on, chances are I will just buy brand new ones.

I always buy Titleists/Bridgestone used/refinished balls from Ebay for practicing/non-tournament rounds. Never had any problems. Just go with AAA-Grade balls, thats the highest quality you can get from refinished balls.

New yes. Used/refinished never, you just never know where they've been or how long they have been there (ie - water)

i buy from www.knetgolf.com all the time. i only buy their mint balls though. they are great and most have not even been hit. they're mostly overruns with logos on them. if the logos don't bother you they're really high quality balls for very cheap

I wanted to try some high end balls on my low end budget and bought three dozen Nike ONE Platinum balls from knetgolf.com, and have also bought from lostgolfballs.com. I buy the highest grade used balls they offer and both have lived up to my hopeful expectations.

Heaven is 630 a.m. Saturday morning, 65 crisp degrees headed toward a comfortable 80, first tee (elevated, of course) . . . and not another worry in the world.

I also have bought from usedgolfballs.com, again first quality only. I have been satisfied with the balls. You need to buy several dozen to make the shipping reasonable per dozen.

I ordered a few dozen NXT Tours from usedgolfballdeals.com last week. I was very impressed with the AAA quality, and the AA was better than I expected. As someone else mentioned, it seems like a lot of the AAA balls are logo overruns and may never have been hit.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
