Well,it is another year (my twelfth) of selling used golf balls on . Ihave found every one of these balls on my local golf course andtherefore know that none of them have been submerged in water.Justtake a look at my seller response for the last eleven years and youcan be assured there is no better value on used golf balls on today. HERE IS A MIX OF 46 PREMIUM NEAR MINT CALLAWAY GOLF BALLS CONSISTING OF 16 TOUR iZ, 12 TOUR iX, 5 TOUR i-, 6 TOUR iS, 2 TOUR i--, 4 HX TOUR, AND 1 HX TOUR 56. Balls that I grade as NEAR MINTwill have some defect or defects that keeps them from beingclassified as MINT, my very best balls, but for all intents andpurposes they will behave as new balls do. There may be relativelysmall areas where paint is missing or where there is discoloration,perhaps a scuff mark(s) that may be noticeable but I feel is tooinsignificant to have any affect on ball performance. In some casesthese NEAR MINT balls may not have as much of the new ball shine asmy MINT balls do. Any defect, in my judgment, would be a non-factorin terms ofball performance, and in most cases no more than asmall factor in terms of aesthetics.Some of these balls willhave player identification markings and/or logos on them. If this issomething that bothers you, I would strongly suggest buying brand newballs. Personally, I like player ID markings and/or logos for severalreasons. They help you identify your golf ball much more easily, andin addition, many of these logos are imaginative and very cool worksof art.
Perhapsmost importantly, NONE of these balls were "water balls" asI found each and every one of them on my golf course which,thankfully, has no water, but plenty of trees. This is very importantin buying used golf balls as research has shown that golf balls arevery much affected by being submerged in water.US Army research reports that golf balls absorb water thatcannot be removed and this affects a permanent change. Recent testingby Golf Digest found a golf ball submerged in water loses six yardsafter one week, 12 yards after three months and 15 yards after sixmonths. 15 yards is a LOT of distance, usually a club and a half.Virtually ALL of the sites that sell used golf balls on arecommercial outfits which get their used balls from dredging ponds andlakes because that is where they can collect thousands of balls in avery short amount of time. They may look pretty, but you can bevirtually assured they have absorbed water. This is why it makessense to buy used balls from a seller who does it as a hobby and notas a business.
Inshort, these NEAR MINT balls play virtually the same as new balls do,provide an excellent value for the price.and may be the bestdeal on used golf balls on today.Notethat this isa picture of the actual golf balls you willreceive, something the big commercial sellers do not provide. Inother words, you can actually see what you will get before you buy!Shipping IS FREEto anywhere in the lower 48 states and Paypal is the method ofpayment.
Itmay be the case that I have additional balls of exactly the samemake, model, and quality as the ones listed here. If so, I offerthese additional balls at a discount, the amount of the discountdepending on the number of additional balls purchased. If this issomething that interests you, contact me before your purchase to findout what additional discounted balls I may have.
