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.

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.

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
