What's the difference with overrun golf balls vs stock golf balls? I see Golfsmith selling Callaway Tour i(s) overruns for $14.99 a dozen - it seems like a great deal but I am not sure the difference in an overrun. Is it simply cosmetic?

In my Callaway Stand bag:
 
Callaway x460 10 degree - graphite stiff flex
Callaway Steelhead III 3W, 5W - graphite firm flex

Maltby KE4 Tour Irons 6-PW
Maltby M-Series Forged 50*, 56*, 60* Wedges

I don't think there is that much difference in the balls especially in the amateur ranks. I have played "x-outs" and "over runs" before and saw no difference in my play. I think for the most part it's a mental thing with most amateur golfers. I prefer a certain brand because I "think" they play better for me around the greens. Yet, when I play a different brand, I score about the same.

I think the overruns are usually golf balls with logo's on them that weren't purchased for a particular company or tournament and they want to unload them.

" A logo overrun golf ball is a brand new ball that often has some sort of additional imprint as a result of overproduction, typically a name or logo. Often overrun golf balls have no printing on the ball at all. Although brand new, they are typically packaged in bulk containers rather than the original boxes. "

I've bought Pro V1x logo overrun golf balls before at Golfsmith, usually get them for $39.99/dozen.

I like them. Depending on how often I either practice play and/or what I want to try and accomplish on a pitching or sand practice area they work really great. I play them also...most are nothing more than logo' overruns, misprints, bulk orders, etc.

      PGA didn’t make Scottie their golden boy. He made his self number one by beating everybody that showed up, including Rahm, Bryson and all the other ones that were with the PGA and left. PGA offered them a way back, Koepka took it and Reeds on his way back.

      Day 12, April 20.  I spent the better part of an hour practicing various putting, primarily within 10'.   I finished with a 4' drill, the double around-the-world (eventually).  That is, set down 12 coins around the cup at 4', all face up.  Go around the clock.  Make the putt?  Turn the coin over (if it's heads-up) or pick it up (if tails up).  Count the total putts needed to sink all 24 (two from each station).  I took 48 total putts, not great, even given how bad my putting is, but is a wake-up call.  I hope to add to my schedule a lot more time to practice (period) and also putting.   For context, 37 total putts on this drill is about the 18 handicap baseline, and as someone aiming to get his handicap into the single digits in the coming months, making another 4' putt per round would go a decent way ... or even better, getting my 4' putt average under 65% (the bogey baseline).  It'd be great to even get up to 80% (scratch baseline) of course. Also, to clarify yesterday's comment, when I "went for it in two" on that par-5, the "it" I was going for in two was the green, not the boundary fence, despite where the ball ended up. 😕
