Where to buy? Balls edition

[Blackjack Don]

Did a search but couldn't find a thread on it. Where do you guys buy your balls. (Twelve year old boys snicker.)

[DaveP043]

Some of the best values are direct-to-consumer manufacturers. like the Snell and the Kirkland balls.  I'll probably be buying a bunch of Snell MTBs this spring, at something like $27 a dozen.

Seconded on the direct-to-consumer...if I were going to play with new golf balls, I'd go with the Snell MTB's (or, perhaps, balls from Vice Golf).

For now, I get all of my golf balls from LostGolfBalls.com.  I get the "like-new" condition versions of the balls that I like to play (Hex Chrome for now, formerly Bridgestone E6) for about $1 each.  For me, at least, they're indistinguishable from new balls, and I don't feel badly about losing them or using a dozen for pitching practice.

I agree. Love snell mtb. Click the snell add that cycles through on top of the page to get to their site and order to help support tst.

Directly from Snell. I buy the My Tour Ball.

I buy directly from Snell.  https://www.snellgolf.com/

Is there an echo in here?  Haha

Otherwise I get them as gifts, or trade a sleeve with a buddy to try something different when curiosity strikes me.

I've been fortunate but I'm about 1 hour away from Golfsmith and Carl's Golfland.   I have also found golfballs online cheaply.   

[boogielicious]

Craigslist is a good source for me. I just bought 5 dozen ProV1 for $160. People get them or win them and sell them instead. Sometimes they have logos, but that doesn't bother me.

[HitAndGiggle]

Yes, an echo. I just received my first dozen Snell Get Sums. Dean signs each invoice they pack with the shipments, which was a nice touch. I'm looking forward to trying these balls as my game, apparently, is a two-piece-ball affair. A few friends of mine work at the local Costcos so I've been joking with them to bring me a box or two. Typically, I've just meandered through the local golf super shop and made an educated guess selecting a box of these or those. I did stumble upon the Taylormade line doing that and have played those a bit this last year.

How good are the kirkland balls? I here they are on par with pro v1s. Unfortunately I can't find any for sale in the UK.

I happen to be a fan of the Gamer Soft and Maxfli Softfli and I live near a Dicks.  If I played a tour ball I would follow some of the advice above.  I also make a point to buy at least a couple of dozen balls in sleeves from my pro shop - it gives me a chance to test some different balls and also helps support the pro.

lostgolfballs.com. No brainer for me.  Get the second to highest quality which look new and perform great.  Some may have logos on them but whatever.  I have bought different brands on there with zero complaints.  Club just put new greens in so I need to test different balls to see which performs best and then I am ordering a bucket of them.

4A rating is probably the best value, but I think the couple extra bucks for 5A condition is worth it knowing that the whole set is essentially a new box of balls.  I don't mind the logos either but one of the Bridgestones I just got has the guy's kids' names on it....yeah, I'm not going to touch any other ball until that one is lost.

Amazon, recycled, usually about $25-30 for two dozen, like new.

[dennyjones]

Amazon currently has some new yellow Bridgestone E6 for $16.   You'll have to search for that price but it's available.

[iacas]

Buy online at snellgolf.com. Duh!

[jmanbooyaa]

Just bought 2 dozen e6 5a rated from   lostballs.com. Got free shipping and 6 free balls.  1st purchase from there. On a side note I am curous anout the Snell Get Sum ball. Have not pulled the trigger on them.
