Snapping turtle?

is this a good deal? i know i can get a lot of recycled balls for about the same price, not sure how many, but they aren't nike quality

Fore!

I wish they would specify which ball these are exactly. I don't want a pack of all mixed balls. Usually when you buy recycled balls they will tell you the ball model.

I jumped on the WOOT deal for Reload Recycled Titleist Pro-V1s ... what a bunch of crap! The majority of the balls were scuffed. Never again.

Seeing how Golf ball divers are getting paid about $.02 a ball I don't see them trying very hard to weed out the bad balls. Now the people that are charging you the end user about $.41 they should be weeding out the crap.

I hang out with the ball divers at the dive shop on Saturdays and let me tell you, they find some strange stuff in those ponds, also there are a lot of them that want to quit the business because they have been getting paid $.02 a ball sense 1988.

Got some of these before and they are good quality,also handy if you miss a shot you can always say "Darn recycled balls,looks like that one was a little warped"

I bought these last time and they are great. Recycled balls are just as good as new but a fraction of the price.

STAY AWAY!!! Bought three dozen Titleist ProV's from these guys last year. They were supposed to be Grade A, more like grade F. All scuffed, some water logged and with yellow blotches on them. Never again.

I had pretty good luck with the last golf ball offer from these guys. The Titleist NXTs I got were in very good shape.

On the fence with this one, Nike balls are not my favorite. Would be in for three if it was Titleist or Noodle.

AVOID.I don't post many comments on here but last time Reload offered their "recycled" Pro V's, the price was low enough that I couldn't go wrong. Only problem is I did go wrong. These were without question the WORST recycled golf balls I had ever seen and almost comical. I know what recycled means and my expectations were low enough to not be surprised but these balls had tree marks, concrete burns, personal markings, extreme discoloration from the elements and were almost a gag to the the recycled ball industry. If you are looking for shag balls, these are fine, if you are looking for some you would play a round of golf with, you are better off driving your first tee shot into the woods and hunting in there for some lost balls. The quality will be better. I wish I were home, I would post pictures for your enjoyment of "recycled"

I bought the Nike recycled the last time they came up. A few of them had small scratches but nothing major. I have been pretty happy with them so far. I think they were a few bucks cheaper last time but I have been very happy with my purchase of the Nike Balls. Don't let the Pro-V1 fiasco deter you from these.

I bought three dozen of PG's recycled balls several months ago off Woot. The balls where junk not even worth hitting into the water. I contacted the ball company, PG in Sugar Land TX, and like their balls they too were worthless. Don't waste your money on bad balls from PG. (I'm thinkin' PG must stand for POOR GOLF!)

I had the same (bad) experience with the Pro V1ss but want to give Woot another try.

Totally agree, I bought the Titelist Pro V 1 from them a few months ago and most balls were garbage. Cart path scuffs on most of them. Out of 36 could only use about 3 the rest went into the shag bag.

You can buy a bucket of 50 mixed recycled at your local Golf Town for $20 with all sorts of major names. You can also get all exclusive recycled Nikes and other big names for $35 per bucket. This deal seems mediocre.

I didn't get the V1's but I did buy 3x36 of these exact Nike packs last time around (I think they were about $12 then).

I am a crappy golfer (I have to add the cost of expected lost balls to the cost of a round each time I play because I know I am going to go through half the balls in my bag), so these were good for me.

I would say that >80% of these balls looked brand new. Most of the others looked "recycled" i.e. slightly less shiny than the new looking ones, but very few actually looked bad and none so far are unusable.

Having said all that I can get 12 Wilson FLI balls brand new from Walmart for $5, which is cheaper even after tax, than 3 of these with shipping.

Check your order on the Pro V1's. Mine said mid-grade, not grade A. There have been grade A offers before, but mine weren't. I had some very superficial scuffs, but they still played well.

You've got to check the quality. The orders I've gotten that say grade A or high quality are near pristine. The ones that say mid-grade (like my last pro-V1 order and I'm guessing yours too) say mid-grade and they can be fairly blemished, though I would say they generally played fine for my mediocre (being kind) golf game.

I guess you have to ask yourself is $20 for used golf balls worth it when 1. You don't know which Nike ball you're getting...notice how they don't indicate One or One Tour or Mojo. Nike makes some crap balls. 2. You can buy new Nike Balls at Wally World for $20 or less and get them today.

P.S. I avoided the last recycled Pro V1 sale but my friends couldn't pass it up. I don't remember the "Grade" but they DID NOT perform as well as new. The fact of the matter is this... know matter what amount of washing, you don't know how long the ball sat at the bottom of the lake or stream or under the bed of leaves where these were found so they are definitely imperfect, so is a new ball after one swing though.

It's important to note that today's offer are definitely higher quality balls (and Nike, not Pro V1), according to the powers that be.

Feedback and customer happiness being very important to us and all.

For those complaining about the quality of the type of ball (in this case Nike Mojo), or those complaining about the quality of the refinishing... couple things to consider...

1) The average male golfer has a 16.1 hdcp and drives the ball 220yds. The difference in distance between a Nike Mojo and a Pro V is only accurately compared when talking about uniform swing speeds. If you are an average golfer - using a cheaper ball (read: lower quality by the uninformed) chances are it will BENEFIT you because it's designed for lower swing speeds. They have lower spin allowing you to stay on the course and maximize distance.

2) Golf balls will completely "fill" with water in approximately 8 days if submerged. A waterlogged two-piece golf ball will lose approximately 5.8yds of distance compared to a new ball. If we're assuming (which is fairly unreasonable) that all these refurbished balls are completely waterlogged, then over 18 holes for a 16hdcp (90-100 strokes), that's at most 80-120 yds lost on strokes where you're not able to reach the green. 80-120 yds is likely worth 1 stroke. For the sake of the argument, let's say 2 strokes.

If spending $2, $3, or even $4 a ball is worth that 1 or 2 strokes to you, then by all means, enjoy that added expense.

Otherwise, buy a case of recycled spheres of frustration and fun, and go out and hack it.

If my math serves me, playing recycled balls allows you to play at least 4x as many balls as even a cheap ($2/ea) new ball. I'll take my chances with losing a little distance if it means I can play more golf to improve my game.

Stop complaining

Bought these last time and have to admit these balls are quite good. I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger and bought some more.

I bought these balls before and they were great condition. Love to buy more of them!

I agree. I bought the same Titleist pro v1's and they were horrible. Scuffed and unusable.

You had me at everything. Sold.

I think that was a different reseller. This guy had the Titleist NXT. The Titleist pro V1s were in 12 packs that were 18 bucks or so. If I remember there were quite a few complaints about those ones.

Bought these last time they were up, all were in good condition barely a blemish, some even included amusing logos. My batch was mostly PD Soft and PD Long ball types.

Maybe you should have done a little research first. You would have quickly found that Grade A used golf balls is one of the lowest grades. The near new ones are Grade AAAAA. The only person you should be upset with is yourself.

Just a note to most of you golfers ot there,the problem with your game has little to do with the ball you've been using!
