Used Golf Balls
All About Golf
Sunny laid back Sunday morning, extended weekends or a vacation, discussion on none of these is complete without a mention of golf. What exactly is Golf? Well it is an outdoor ball game wherein the aim is to hit the ball into a series of holes in the minimum possible strokes. A round of golf consists of 18 holes. Now the number of strokes you need to hit one hole is your Par. Each hole has a teeing area around it, which includes a fairway, a rough sideway and a green well-mown area around the hole. Then there are the “not so wanted” barriers like sand traps, water etc that are called the bunkers.

Made of sturdy and durable wood with hunter green felt backing, the rack holds 25 balls and can stand on it's own, or be hung on the wall. This is a great deal! We normally don't sell anything but our used golf balls, but we received a load of them and want to move them out. |

Titleist Pro V1 AAA Recycled Golf Balls (36 Pack)ReviewsThese Titleist balls are those that are lost on the courses but then salvaged by the greens keepers or others. They are cleaned up and then packaged. Overall I am quite pleased with them. Since they are from different sleeves, you might need to mark your balls before you use them in a group. I would recommend the use of these balls. I ordered these expecting some serious scuffing and some X-Outs. The details while orderings was a little vage. But I figured it would be worth it at this price. What I got was 36 balls with practicaly no scuffs and no x-out balls. I got 13 pro v1 392's and 23 Pro v1's. Some had logo's and a few players marking but most was perfect.GREAT VALUE. Thanks I ordered AAA some of balls were questionable ... would never order less than AAA. Yeah, these are the best balls you can hit, but they aren't error correcting because they are designed to be power faded and sliced. This means they won't attempt to error correct like a "Straight" ball. Pro players love Pro v1's since they can side spin them with "english" to power fade them around the dogleg. If you have a slice or hook, this ball will only remind you of your imperfections as your $5+ golf ball glides into the rough, marsh or the water hazard. The best Pro v1 tip, wait until you are consistently hitting straight before you buy them, until then, consider the Titlelist NXT, you can also use the NXT tour but the tour version is meant for shot shapers and will mimic the Pro v1 when it comes to showing off your imperfections. Most of the balls are in good shape, 4 are practice balls so not worth much. About 70% of the balls have logos on them but overall decent quality balls for the price. Average Rating: |

Titleist Pro V1 X AAA Recycled Golf Balls (36 Pack)ReviewsItems are exactly as described. Some balls have slight scuff marks and player IDS but most are just about perfect. Highly recommend and delivery was free and very quick. I received my balls in a timely fashion. All of them were in great condition. Completely satisfied! Amazon needs to clarify what they are selling here. The picture shows golf balls with Pro VI X on them. Then, the heading turns around and says Pro VI. Obviously, Amazon staff are not golfers. There is a big difference between Pro VI and Pro VI X to golfers. I am not a golfer, but my husband is, and he plays with Pro VI but not Pro VI X. I point this out to golfers because if you look carefully throughout the entire web page, you will find several references to either Pro VI or Pro VI X. If you are particular like my husband, you need to call Amazon first and find out exactly what you are buying. Yeah, these are the best balls you can hit, but they aren't error correcting because they are designed to be power faded and sliced. This means they won't attempt to error correct like a "Straight" ball. Pro players love Pro v1's since they can side spin them with "english" to power fade them around the dogleg. If you have a slice or hook, this ball will only remind you of your imperfections as your $5+ golf ball glides into the rough, marsh or the water hazard. The best Pro v1 tip, wait until you are consistently hitting straight before you buy them, until then, consider the Titlelist NXT, you can also use the NXT tour but the tour version is meant for shot shapers and will mimic the Pro v1 when it comes to showing off your imperfections. Bought AAA from another company and they were as if they were never used. These so called AAA I bought from Amazon are more like AA or A. Too many marks (scuffs) on ball and also too many used balls with logos. You could by brand new logo balls (over run) at your local golf store for a little more money. I would not of minded if they cost a bit more, but not with so many scars I would never buy these again. Average Rating: |

Titleist NXT Recycled Golf Balls, 36 packReviewsThe quality of the golf balls is certainly very good. However, if you don't want to play golf balls with random company logos, these are not for you. at least half of the balls had logos on them. I've bought a *lot* of used balls off eBay over the years, and these simply aren't up to the standard set by eBay suppliers like LostGolfBalls and others (virtually anyone with a 99.5+% positive rating has been the same in my experience). Roughly a third of the 36 "mint" balls I bought here are either slightly yellowed, have a small scuff or two, or other such imperfections, and in every "mint" shipment I've ever bought off eBay, if there were 2 such balls in a batch of 36, it was an anomaly. It certainly won't affect the play of the ball, but these would rank as "AAA"/"Near Mint" rather than "AAAA"/"Mint" as advertised. Make your purchasing decisions accordingly. Great value for amateur to experienced player. Balls were as described; clean, minimal marks, various logos. Great price and fast shipping. 3 of the balls were not NXT. Several others had scraps that made them less then ideal for use on the course. I was teaching my three older kids how to play golf on our vacation this year. With the price of golf balls at the pro shop (and even the discount golf stores) I thought I'd check out Amazon. I found these golf balls and they were perfect. The kids used a bunch of them and the golf balls were all in great shape. There were no scuffs or cuts. Furthermore, it was fun seeing all of the logos on them. I'll be buying more as I have the two younger kids are ready to take up the game. Average Rating: |

The Swing: Mastering the Principles of the GameReviewsI have read quite a few golf books (by Jack Nicklaus, etc.) but this book was really great. I have been playing golf since 1969 and I have had a problem with hitting the ball to the right. This book finally showed the weak and strong grip and I changed my grip so it was stronger and now am hitting the ball straight (and sometimes even with a slight draw). I really like the way the book was written, namely that a player can always work on his golf swing, and try to improve various aspects of it, just as Nick Price has done throughout his career. This book is definitely worth reading for anyone who wishes to improve his golf game. I do not have the book yet, I am in vacations until the middle of this month. Later I will send the review. In the text on the set-up several times he says bend from the waist,in summing up he says bend from the hips; as a scratch golfer who has played for more than 55 years I know you cannot have it both ways. Excellent didactic from grip through follow through. This book simplifies the swing to its bare essentials. Excellent anecdotes and swing drills included. Most impressive to me is his criticism of Ben Hogan's classic "Five Step" book with reference to the shoulder plane during the swing and how it forced his swing as a young man to be too upright. This book is not for the 25 or above handicapper simply because the numerous descriptions and examples would probably hurt a very-high handicapper rather than help him/her. But for those below a 25, who are familiar with golf lingo, this book provides excellent structure for working on one's swing. As a boy, back in the 60's, the first golf book I ever read was Hogan's "Power Golf". Soon after I read his "Five Lessons." Both are classics. The later, revered as an almost "holy" exposition of swing thought. Since that time, I've read most all the available golf texts. I have never failed to learn something from all of them, but I never felt that any of them were as seminal as either of Hogan's. Nick Price has now taken the Hogan torch. In "The Swing" he has written the next absolute classic. This book IS seminal and a must read for any golfer at any skill level. Price relates swing theory in a readable and understandable way while creating in the mind of the reader the belief that a consistent and functional golf swing is attainable. Get it, read it, live it! You will be a better golfer for having done so Average Rating: |

Not since Ben Hogan in the 1950s has a dominant player so thoroughly addressed golf's central enigma: how to develop and repeat an effective swing, the only way any player can hope to truly improve.In the early '90s, after years of struggle and determination, Nick Price emerged as the world's finest golfer,"striking the ball," as Ben Crenshaw observed, "as well as anyone since Ben Hogan or Byron Nelson... |

Nike Tour 2 Mixed Recycled B-Grade Experienced Professional Golf Balls (60-Ball Pack)ReviewsBought this for my dad and he was more than pleased. Even though the balls are recycled, they were in really good shape and perfect for beginning golfers. Great price too! My husband was very very happy with the product. They are the good stuff. thanks Happy with my purchase being a beginner golfer these will be fine all the balls were as advertised and did not have any in the bag as un-usable. One thing for caution if you do order these I ordered two orders 120 balls and was sent only 60 balls they are shipped in bags of thirty and had to call customer service to get it squared away. Th balls were sent right out and that was the end of the issue but just make sure you get what you are paying for. you wont be able to beat the value for the price! the quality of the golf balls is brand new to like new also. when you can get golf balls at this kind of a bargain, why would you blow your money on overpriced brand new ones? ... unless of course, you play good enough. these are pretty good used balls for practing. I used them a lot and they are pretty good for being used. Average Rating: |

It is believed to have originated from an ancient game called chole, supposedly meaning, “ball”. Most of the people believe that Scotland is where Golf was born, probably out of a banned 15th century game called ‘gowf’. However many folklore relate it as an acronym for Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. The modern Golf came into being again in Scotland in the later half of the 19th century. Later on over the 20th century golf saw a facelift with a variety of golf equipments and techniques being invented.
Golf has woven itself in the social fabric as the game of the elite and high-end businessmen. Would you believe if we tell you that many US business school add golf to their management curriculum? It is a game of social status. After all one has to shell out huge sums on latest equipment, the right clothing and the green fees of the golf course. This has still kept golf away from the reach of common man. Nevertheless, the massive popularity of the game can be judged by the very fact that there are over 32,000 golf courses in the world!
Players move around the golf course with their caddies who manage the equipments of the players. The player whose ball is farthest from the hole gets a chance to play first when each individual player has had his chance of playing the ball once. The game is won by the person or the team that scores the maximum holes. It can be played by teams in foursome or by individuals. A very interesting term taking rounds in the golfing community is “Golf handicap.” This is the score of proficiency of different players, which affect their net score, thus allowing players of different capacities to play against each other.
People say golf is not played by rules but by etiquettes. However, there are a few laid down rules. The most basic are "play the ball as it lies", "play the course as you find it", and "if you cannot do either, do what is fair". A Golfer can play several types of shots such as tee shot, fairway shot, bunker shot, puts, pitch, flop, chip and a golf swing. A golf swing is the most complex shot that involves perfect coordination of the complete anatomy of the player.
Over the years golf equipment has grown in term of sophistication and technique. From golf balls, tees and clubs to golf carts, bags shoes, etc; it is a whole big market out there. The British officers first started professional golf. Now there are several Golf tournaments like PGA tour, Ryder Cup, U.S. Open etc. In this time and age when pollution is a big problem, the vast golf courses prove to be the breathing lungs of cities and towns where they are located. They nurture the local flora and fauna and provide a welcome respite from the concrete jungle.
