Where Are All the Used Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls and Are They Worth It?

Golfers can not get enough used pro V1 Golf Balls. As soon as we receive a shipment of used pro V1s, they are gone within a couple of days. I will be the first to admit, I am not a golf ball expert. However, I am curious and motivated to find out why we cant keep a large supply of used pro V1 golf balls and whether or not there are golf balls that are just as good. According to titleist, pro V1s (MSRP $58) have:

New, staggered wave parting line - longer distance from enhanced ball flight

New, higher coverage 392 dimple design - penetrating trajectory for long, consistent distance

New, A.I.M. (Alignment Integrated Marking) sidestamp - integrated alignment guide for improved putting alignment

Longer driver distance

Soft compression for outstanding feel

Drop-And-Stop control

The most durable of all titleist Tour-played golf balls

So, what else have I found out about used pro V1s? 1. Why are used pro V1s in such demand at $24 to $29 a dozen?The answer to this one was easy if I thought about it. titleist pro V1s are the #1 ball used on the PGA Tour. The pro V1 is the most preferred ball by lower handicap players. It makes complete sense that these balls are found less often in water or lost in the woods. The PGA Tour player and other experienced golfers are less likely to loose the ball. 2.

Are pro V1s really THAT good?I am sure that this question will stir up a huge debate, but I thought it was important to cover. Bottom line, yes they are a fantastic high performance ball. It was very hard to find anyone that did not feel the pro V1 was the best ball on the market. If you are looking for a ball with great feel and accuracy, the pro V1 is it. However, I do need to add, there are other soft balls that are very good. I can not really say other balls are actually better because it is really based on personal preference. Some simply feel more confident using a titleist ball. This is where the titleist brand name comes into play. titleist is known to make some of the best golf balls. Golfers have been using titleist for years. Brand loyalty and comfort using the same brand goes a long way. 3. If I can not find any used Titleist Pro V1s, what should I use?When this question was asked, most would add, but they are not as good as the pro V1s. Keeping that in mind, feel free to try these performance balls around $10 to $20 used ($20 to $40 new):

Not Everything Can go Down the Drain

Many of us are programmed in such a way that if we see something disappear, we believe it is gone for good. This type of thinking is especially harmful when it comes to our plumbing. Not everything is designed to go down the drain; pouring the wrong materials into kitchen sinks and other sinks in your house will eventualy mean that you have big problems with your pipes that will cost a lot of money and time in order to fix. There are a lot of materials that if poured down the drain will accumulate, clogging the pipes, and some that will even corrode the joints and cause leaks and severe damage. Here is a list of the most common things that people dump into their sinks that can cause a lot of damage.

The most common item in this case is grease. Grease is liquid and it seems like it is natural for it to go down the drain, but remember it is only liquid because it is hot. As soon as grease cools down, it will begin to form into a solid, and eventually will become very solid. It will sit in your pipe and catch other matter, and eventually it will plug up the system. In the meantime, it might also start to smell really bad. Running hot water as you pour the grease down the drain will not help. The best way to get rid of grease is to put it into a container to harden and then throw it into the trash.

Bits of food are another item that make their way into the plumbing. Food should not be put down the drain unless you have a proper garbage disposal. Invest in some food catchers to put in the drain in order to catch the bits of pasta and vegetable that slip through the colander.

Hair always seems to make its way past the plug, in kitchen sinks and in bathtubs. Hair is very difficult to get out of piping once it gets in, and even worse it will catch other items and form one big mess. Keep hair from going into the pipes by buying hair catchers for all of your bathtub and shower drains. These need to be cleaned frequently, but it is better than paying the price for new piping.

Many people pour used materials such as motor oil, pesticides, and leftover moisturizers down their sinks. All of these are highly corrosive and will cause long term damage to pipes. Dispose of them in the manner recommended on the packaging, as to ignore this advice will not only cause significant damage to your house but to the environment as well.

A stitch in time saves nine, and the simple fact is that by being aware and taking care of materials properly, you will save yourself a lot of money in terms of plumbing later on. Don't be fooled by the disappearnce of items down the drain; it never just goes away!
