difference in the consistency
of the performance.
Myth #3 – Used golf balls
DON’T Perform like new
with an iron
Our
Iron
testing was done
with a full swing with a seven
iron. Just like the wedge, we
found
no difference between
new, used, and refinished
golf balls.
There is
one caveat
, some of
the
lowest grade of used balls
are scuffed
. It is possible that
outdoors, in wind, the scuffs
could affect performance,
especially with the longer
clubs.
Myth #4 – Used golf balls
DON’T Perform like new
with a driver
Even after seeing the used
golf balls match the new ones
with the wedge and iron,
there was skepticism about
whether they could perform
with the driver. Specifically,
we were curious to see
whether the ball speed and
smash factor of the used balls
would match the new ones.
Our skepticismwas misplaced:
the
used, as well as, the
refinished golf balls equaled
the performance of the new
balls in ball speed, smash
factor, and spin off the driver
.
Conclusion
Golf isn’t going to become a
cheap game anytime soon,
but thanks to high quality
direct-to-consumer marketing
and the ability to buy used
golf balls, you can make it a
little less expensive. If you’re
flexible about the brand of
ball you play, you can save
50% or more on tour quality
golf balls.
