    2011 prov1

    I'm wondering which of you purchase refurbished or refinished ProV1 golf balls and more specifically, from where. I recently found one at my course and played a few holes with it, the difference is amazing. I just can't afford them brand new!

    Are the used ones actually as good as I've read? Anywhere with free shipping?

    I think recycled is better than refurbrished.

    I buy my recycled balls at Walmart. Anytime I buy new Prov1's, they get lost asap.

    On their webpage they have the recycled ones labeled as C Grade. Do you often get dead balls in there? These still perform fine?

    I've never ordered from them. I was just trying to show the difference between recycled and refurbrished. You take a risk with both, but I think recycled is the safer choice if you want the ball perform like it's supposed to.

    + 1 for purchasing at Walmart. I just peer through the plastic to find the shinys ones with less visible skuffs, but never been dissappointed.

    Try knetgolf.com, they are Canadian and in Toronto.
    I have ordered a couple of times and the balls are great and customer service is very good.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Break68, do you remember which balls you ordered on that site? Are the B Grades good?

    I ordered Mint Callaway Warbirds and Grade A Titleist NXT Tours.
    The mint balls are absolutely mint. The Grade A are very good condition.
    I will continue to buy Grade A balls from knetgolf.com.
    Lots of people here on Ottawagolf.com have bought balls from knetgolf.com and most are very happy with their purchases.

    The Grade B's are mostly as practice ball I hear, but I have never bought Grade B.

    Pm golffreak. He has mint pro v1, pro v1x, and bridgestone balls for sale. I believe they are 25/ dozen. I purchased from him the last two years. Ive had No problems with them and if your fussy you can pick your own out of the box. I personally found walmarts balls to be grade b or less.
