If you see a Pro V1 or other top tier golf ball in your range bucket, do you sneak it into your bag?
Summary
- Golfers debate whether it’s ethical to take Pro V1 range balls.
- Some justify taking them as a fair exchange system, while others see it as theft.
- Concerns about the performance degradation of reused Pro V1 balls are raised.
Justifying the Act
Some users argue that since the range balls are not owned by the course, it’s fair game to reclaim them.
Moral Compass
Others express guilt over taking premium balls, believing it’s akin to theft.
Performance Concerns
Debate arises on the performance degradation of reused Pro V1 balls and how it impacts gameplay.
If you care how it performs, a ProV that’s gone through the range picker a couple times isn’t going to perform even halfway decent compared to a new one. If you don’t care how it performs, why care that it’s a ProV? I leave them. — lukepeacock
