Anyone have/use the 2 colored Ping balls?

 

Believe that they were made for putting so you could see the roll. Think I have some in the closet, but not sure about the condition of them

[GolfSpy Dave]

Some of these are worth big money, so be careful before you use them if they are in good condition. I sold two balls for $125 last Fall.

Black, gold and two tones without white are the most sought after...

 

That being said I have a white/red and a white/yellow that I use on occasion with the putter. I did use them as a putting practice tool, lining the color seam at the hole like a line. Once I went away from lining putts up like that, I stopped using the Pings.

The look cool when they roll though.

What he said. If you find some in a garage sale, then hang onto them. And for god sakes, don't game them.

Never even seen one in person

Same here, but I'm glad to know they're valuable in case I ever run across one.

Yeah, I knew that some were worth BIG money...not sure what ones I have, I'll have to check it out

 

I just saw one online the other day and remembered I had some...Think that they're great for putting practice, but am curious as to how they 'feel'. They aint not Pro V!

 

Hmmmm....Wonder if people would buy a two colored Pro V? I know I would!!

I have found all of mine at garage sales and thrift stores. Check the pockets in the bags they are selling. If you find one, offering a dollar for it is usually enough. Finding unused ones in packaging is on my list of Holy Grail finds.

I have a dark blue / red ball - pretty much mint condition.

Mine has a silver victory cup with Solheim Cup superimposed over it.

Below it says -

USA - Europe

Lake Nona Golf Club

1990

 

Printed on the seam - an "eye" on one side / karsten on the other side

 

Never have been able to find a value on it - Found mine in a garage sale also I think.

Dark blue and red is a good ball

logo may help or hurt

 

Likely $30

Here are the ones on the bay. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=ping+ball+red+blue&_sacat=See-All-Categories

 

I have a red/white with a Michael Jordan event on it and i think that helps the value

[jamo]

These are really worth money! Crap, I think I used some last year and lost them.

 

That's what I get for hitting them into the woods with a baseball bat...

I used to collect Ping colored balls, some are worth up to $250 too collectors, most fall in the $5 - 10 range. I sold my collection for a little over $2000, 54 balls.

 

They are traded/sold hot an heavy on ebay. If you buy be very careful, some are fake. Generally, collectors don't want logos, also many of the two tones with Michael Jordan on them are not produced by Ping. Red/blue, solid orange, orange/blue/white are very common.

 

As far as playability they are old technology and don't play well, and didn't when they were new either. The two tones are good for putting practice though.

Every post on here is like a punch to the gut.... and the wallet.

I have three blue and metallic gold. Saw on ebay a while back that someone bought one for about $300.

I've got two or three of these lying around somewhere. I used to pull one out every now and then to practice putting.
