I have a 6.2 handicap index. Last year, I was giving a guy at our club a hard time for using these balls (I saw the ugly yellow box in his bag). He challenged me to blind test.
He put 3 refinished ProV1 balls in a “new ball” sleeve and gave them to me along with a sleeve of new balls from the pro shop. I used the 6 balls for my round. I typically rotate 3 balls on the front nine and then switch to a new sleeve of 3 balls for the back nine.
I could NOT tell the difference! I shot 37-39 for an 18 hole round of 76. My partner later told me (it is still an item of friendly debate) that I used the recon balls on the front nine. My only poor shot resulting in a penalty stroke was on the back nine using the balls from the pro shop (I kid him it was the recon ball).
Every time these come up I buy a couple of dozen. Although, I do take them out of the ugly box and use the box/sleeves I saved from my last pro shop purchase! No one else at the club is the wiser.
These balls are certainly worth the price. I’m a 4 hdcp and I used them for years before going with TM Lethal. Every once in a while you get a clunker and you’ll notice it right away.
These balls cost $48+ new, and unless you are playing for money or club championships, these work fine.
I ordered 2 due to the comments here and the fact that these did not have any corporate logos.
I received my order today, however both of the boxes are the “Reload” variety and not the yellow box pictured. Also, just about every ball seems to have a corporate logo on them.
I can only assume these are not the correct balls, and as such due to my unfamiliarity with their performance I will be returning them.
