jhellrung Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 There is pretty much zero data out there on the effect of water on golf balls. I'd love to know if the prov1 I fished out of the water hazard last week is tainted due to its long term exposure to water. Should be pretty easy to test with a trackman.

JudgeSmails Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 not a bad idea....testing refurbished and X-outs could be interesting as well Rtracymog, Canucklehead, SuperDave and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: TR20 10.5* Hybrids: Epic SuperHybrid 3 18* Epic 4h 23* Irons: JPX900 Hot Metal 5-GW Wedges: CBX2 52* 56* 60* Putter: EV8 Ball: Tour BXS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes. I'd like to see this performed. Test several of the more popular brands. Not too interested in the painted refurbs though. I've played some of these before and didn't like the finish to start with and then after a few shots they looked ever worse. However, I suspect that the AAAA quality balls will measure up like a new one.

Kenny B Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Balls fished out of the water have a tendency to end up back there. At least in my experience.

viking Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Still IMO I agree with that as I have never noticed any difference. Same for brand new balls stored for years in a garage with temp ranging from -40 C to +40 C. Quote Jazz woods (Driver & Hybrids), TNT Silver Eagle Irons, PW & SW, Slotline Inertia putter.
