The grading system

There are usually four different grades of recycled golf balls: the top of the line recycled golf balls will usually be called AAA, PERFECT, 1st Quality or Grade 1. You may actually find it hard to distinguish between top of the line recycled balls golf balls and top quality newly purchased balls. The next grade of golf balls look and perform well, just like the top of the line recycled golf

balls. You may even come across some logo balls. The third grade recycled golf balls may be a bit worn and scuffed on the outside, but still perform suitably for a game. The fourth grade of recycled balls is usually reserved for practice shots only.

Where to find them

Recycled golf balls are often dutifully collected at the end of a game. Some have turned this collection process into big online businesses. Balls are gathered, cleaned and graded according to each individual ball’s condition to determine the cost. Search online and you may be surprised to find so many dealers selling recycled balls over the Internet.

How much can you save?

Some golfers wonder how much they are really saving by choosing recycled golf balls over brand new. Is it really worth it? Well, you be the judge: If a brand new pack of one dozen Titleist Pro golf balls retail for around $58.00, and online prices for a dozen high grade golf ball sells for $24.00, $18.00 for second grade golf balls, $14.00 for third grade and $8.00 for fourth grade golf balls, the savings speaks for itself.
