Market Share War on Great Golf Balls

[golfdad907]

Who's stocking up on the deals out there?

There are so many deals on current and last years tour balls, it's crazy. I've got 12 dozen stocked up, and thinking, how long can this last...or will it get even better?

So I listed the ones I can think of off top of my head, if there's some I missed, sorry, but love to hear about them.

It just seems to me that just about every brand on a two year cycle introduces the new balls on the odd years, so the old stuff needs to go and gets discounted all at the same time.

Love buying Z-Star X for $20/doz, even if they are yellow.

Ive got about 5 doz proV1, 1.5 doz Zstar, and a doz Burner TP. Ive also got 3 doz Callaway Tour IS en route (B2G1 deal). I feel like a hoarder sometimes since I keep buying balls even when I have plenty.

I feel a little odd every time i go toDSG,because i know that i'm going to grab a couple dozen even though i don't need any.Right now i have 11 Doz Burner TP's,9 Doz Z Stars,5 Doz Penta TP's,1 Doz Wilson FG Tours & 1 Doz E5's..Those are all new & not including the bags of barely used balls(about 200) that i use on wet courses that plug.

I bought 6 doz Tour i(S) as my gamer (3 for 2), and 2 doz Z-Star Yellow for early or late day golf (2 for 1 on the 2011 ball). Nothing beats the visibility of the Z Star, but I find the Tour i(S) suits my game a little better.

Just want to ask where I can get the Srixon Z star yellow ball for $20.00 a dozen.

I believe they are still priced at 40.00 a dozen and even with "buy 2 get 1 free", that still works out to 26.67 per dozen before tax.

The Srixon Z star yellow is the only premium ball I don't have.

Pro V1 3 dozen
TaylorMade Penta 6 dozen
Nike One Tour D 6 dozen
Bridgestone B-330S 4 dozen
Callaway Tour i-s 6 dozen

Plus

12 dozen Callaway HX/HX HOT
7 dozen Bridgestone e5/e6
5 dozen Taylormade Burner TP/Burner
2 dozen NXT Tour
6 dozen Wilson ZIP

Who has the best deals on Z-Stars in store? I have found them on line but have not recently seen the 2010 ball in store for @$29.

[SoCalTitleist]

Dicks has them for $24.99. If you can get them to take an old coupon could be cheaper.

My golf galaxy was selling them for ~$18 a box. Not sure if it's only at my store, though, as their moving to a new location down the street and are giving 25% off the normal clearance price of 24.99. Needless to say I've bought a few. It's always great when your favorite ball is dirt cheap!

Are you planning on opening a driving range or something?

[tpariff]

I have 5 dozen Nike One Tour D for which my total cost is $94. Two dozen I got from Sam's Club when they ran the $12.91 a dozen deal and the other three dozen I got from GPP - the ones with the red swoosh - for $68 shipped on the buy 2 get 1 free deal a few weeks ago. $19 a dozen.

I haven't paid more than $30 a dozen for golf balls in a while, and can't imagine doing it considering there are so many great ones out there at deep discounts.

Oh, and I won the Titleist sweepstakes a couple of months ago but have yet to receive my dozen 2011 Pro v1x. So that's 6 dozen for $94, or $16 a dozen. SWEET!!!!

I got 48 dozen used pro v1/pro v1X after the Accenture Match Play left town last Feb. They all have "PRACTICE" stamepd on them. Them came in lots of 24 dozen, picked up 2 lots for a $300.00 donation for each lot. So they have been hit by "the pros". Picked up 8 dozen pro v1x stamped "PRACTICE" unused for $20.00 a dozen.

My "driving range" is a mat and net that I set up in my back yard every so often. I got the 48 dozen in a plastic "bucket" in the garage thay I pull out to the yard, Can hit for a couple of hours and never have to go "pick up" balls. I put the 8 dozen new pro v1x in a Titleist shag bag and take it down to local muni short game practice area. The bag itself can probably hold 240 balls, but 96 balls is quiet heavy to lift around already.
