im getting better and i’ve finally identified a ball that works best for me (Bridgestone Tour B X) but i still lose enough balls to make the premium price tag tough to swallow 

has anyone used lostgolfballs.com? i can grab a dozen B X for $23.99 in “mint” condition. 

if you’ve ordered from them, feel free to share your experiences, good or bad.

I've never heard of that sight, but if it's legit, that's a great deal. Please let us know how it works out!

I buy all of my golf balls from them. Good prices and good service.

I've used them numerous times without issue.  There is some concern with the performance of used balls that have been sitting in bodies of water for extended periods of time, but I don't think you'll encounter many balls, if any, like that if you purchase the "Mint"/5A grade.  I've never had any mint balls obviously underperform.  I have seen some balls labeled 4A that look to me like they should have been 2A or 3A, so I stick with 5A grade if I buy from them.

that was my gut feeling. at $24/dozen i’m happy going with the mint balls. 

i wouldn’t buy anything lower graded to play with. maybe as shag balls to chip around the yard with. but then again, i use balls i find on the course for that.

My wife buys her Pro V1's from them (5A Mint) - fast turnaround and she's never had an issue after a couple of years and several doz.

Since starting playing in October I've placed several orders with them. Starting with lower quality balls at the beginning and moving up as game has improved and I've lost less to see if feel of better ball is different.  Even using their free shipping for bigger orders it's always been fast and I've always ordered the 5A category and found them in great condition. Only thing to know if you care about is the balls could have previous players markings on them or stamps from events (I've found these more on balls like velocity than nicer ones) but I haven't really minded that.

player markings don’t bother me, but i’ve never liked playing balls stamped from companies or events for some reason. 

luckily, that’s not a huge issue with bridgestone balls. usually companies want to put their logos on ProV1s.

I've never bought any bridgestone balls from them but I've tried kirkland, srixon, titleist velocity and tour soft and by far the most have been on velocity.

I buy from them all the time, always great quality. Never any issues.

[Shankster]

Come on man!  You let the cat out of the bag… I kid. I kid.

I buy from them on occasion, especially if I’m going to play a “new to me” course where the potential for feed the trees/water/unknown is high.

[Letthebigdogshunt]

I have used them for years. The mint quality is great and the balls are like new except for the occasional player markings. I will be buying more next month.

I've never tried them but great thread/question and feedback thus far. I'm heading over to their website to do some window shopping .  With regards to player personal marks, do even the 5A category have them?

Never mind... now see on their grading scale they can have logo and player marks.

Of all the doz's my wife has ordered - a few balls (not doz) have had company or course logos but never player marks Note: she does order yellow ProV's - not sure if that makes a difference in durability of the covers.

i placed an order for 4 dozen bridgestone tour b x today. 48 premium balls for $100? please and thank you. 

[RickK]

I have bought from them on several occasions with no problems whatsoever.

I buy from golfballs.ca which is related to golfballplanet in the US. I usually stick with AAAA because you will inevitably get some 5A balls that have large logos or marks on them. In my experience there is not any scrapes or gouges in AAAA balls or noticeable issues with ball flight. 4A Bridgestone can be had for close to $1/ball when they have sales. 

I bought AAA one time to see the difference and that was the level where differences in quality were most noticeable.
