Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls Review
Your Favorite Golf Balls at Lower Prices But Still The Same Performance
Where can I get a ProV1 at a lower price? It is the age old question that golfers want answered as they love playing premium golf balls, but hate paying premium price. With the cost of a dozen ProV1s hitting $60 in 2026 there are many golfers looking to save some money on golf balls, especially since we may loose a few here and there during a round of golf.
Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls goes around and finds those ProV1s we lost and sells them back to us at fraction of the cost of new ones. They have a 3 tier grading system which allows you to get golf balls that were maybe hit once, hit for 5 holes or played a full round. The more wear and tear that the ball has seen, the cheaper they get by the dozen. While I know there is a stigma around used golf balls, but after 20 rounds of golf playing all 3 tiers of -ProV1x; I can confidently say, there is no performance difference compared to brand new balls.
This is my definitive Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls Review.
Used Not Refurbished: Mint, A, or B
Let’s be clear, these are not refurbished golf balls, these are used golf balls. There is a huge difference. Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls are collected from woods, ponds, rough, etc and sold back to consumers based on their grade: Mint, A or B. These are original golf balls with all the same paint, quality and performance from the factory, but they’ve been hit at least once by someone else.
The 3 categories really tell the appearance of the golf ball, not the performance. If you want a ball that looks like it has never been hit, then Mint is your choice. If you don’t mind a logo, or small mark on the ball then A will do. If you are ok with a maybe the dot of the Titleist “i” missing or a marker line on the ball, or a tiny scuff then B will work for you.

Bags not Boxes
If you like the look and feel of opening a brand new box of golf balls, the Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls bags are probably going to disappoint, but if you are ok saving $25+ to grab golf balls out of a red net bag, then you’ll be happy as a clam saving the money. The bags are easier to transport in a golf ball and they come labeled with the grade so if you get different graded balls you can tell them apart.
If you are really vain, you could buy one dozen full price balls in boxes are refill them from your used ball bags. I guess it really depends on your image and where you play. Maybe don’t want to go to your buddies private club and show off your bag of used golf balls. But why keep paying full price for the exact same golf ball and same performance. I played used -ProV1x balls at a very exclusive course and shot under par. Plus to be fair, the second you hit any ball it is used, even if from the box right out of the pro shop.
Same Performance as New
This is the main story: Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls perform the same as brand new golf ball. You, your score, nor a launch monitor can tell the difference. I know that some professional golfers can tell between a 2023 ProV1x and a 2025 ProV1x, but 99.9% of us can’t. Many of the used model do come in a mixed year bag so there is a slim chance there might be performance variation from ball to ball based on model, but it is so tiny, that most of us can’t tell or see the difference.
Mint vs A vs B was another test I ran these through over the course of multiple rounds. I also didn’t find enough cover damage on any B graded balls for it to impact performance. I still played and shot the same scores with a B grade as I did an A or Mint. However, aesthetically speaking, there is a difference. If you don’t like logos or marker lines or slightly dull paint, then I’d recommend sticking with the Mint. However I compared a Mint ball after 18 holes to a B ball and they ended up basically the same.
Summary
Golf Ball Planet Used Golf Balls offers ProV1s (or whatever your favorite ball is) at a lower price point. You get the same performance as a new golf ball except you don’t get the box or the high price. They offer 3 grades of golf balls; Mint, A or B. They will all play great, but it just depends on your preference for markings and paint, but if you want “brand new” get the mint grade balls. I know there might still be a stigma about playing used golf balls, but honestly there is no reason to pay full price; these are the exact same ball, with the exact same performance at around 1/2 the price.
