Save
$ with Golf Ball Used

If
you golf, chances are you’ve gone
through your share of balls. They seem
to get lost all the time, and the
costs mount quickly. Even the best
golfers routinely lose balls, and for
the average duffer, these
“misplaced” golf balls can quickly
become an expensive addition to the
golf outing.
Used golf balls that are in great
condition and ready to play can be
purchased in bulk over the internet.
There are many companies that sell
used balls, usually in dozens.
Different companies have different
grading systems but they are all
relatively similar.
Most sites describe some sort of
quality assurance sorting, so that the
balls are graded. Balls are sorted
into various categories and sold by
the dozen.
Top grade used golf balls are often
called Grade A or Grade 1, one or two
sites listed them as Grade AAA. They
are usually described as like new.
Many customers have commented that
these balls are often
indistinguishable from the new ones,
and can be subsequently lost just as
quickly as those right out of the
sleeve. These are usually described as
near perfect with a slight blemish or
mark.
Slightly less perfect balls are Grade
B or Grade 2. These have more than one
mark, but play like new. Accordingly,
the price is a bit less than the near
perfect ones.
Finally, there is a third grade called
Grade C or 3. Occasionally the site
will go ahead and call them range
balls. These balls are more used, with
several marks and blemishes, but would
be suitable for range play or practice
rounds. These are even less expensive
than the others.
Make sure that your site specifies
that there are no “X out” or
manufacturer rejects. You should be
receiving slightly used, but good
balls. Also, you may want to inquire
if the site you have chosen allows
water balls. I’d avoid these if
possible.
Check with your local golf club as
well. Sometimes local clubs hold sales
of used balls to clear their
inventories as well. You may be able
to buy back some of the balls you lost
last season!
Finally, compare price and shipping
costs on your used golf balls. Most
shipping charges seem to run between
$5.95 per dozen and $7.95 per dozen,
but verify in advance. You should also
be able to get a significant shipping
discount for orders of more than one
dozen.
Shopping for used golf balls can be a
great way to cut the expenses of your
golfing habit. Before you hit the
links, try purchasing some practice
balls you won’t mind losing!
