I don't know if you guys have seen this site or not. You can get cut balls ...500 for $8.00. Look at the bottom of the page. Sounds like a deal to me except I don't have a golf ball barrel yet. Hey Gort, tool me one up....lol

Its $31.81 for 500 golf balls to my place. (Arkansas)
and if you need a golf ball barrel, look for 1.5" sdr21 pipe. I have a local hardware store that sells alot of it.

Not bad....though the cut/cracked ones will fly slower and not very straight.

Update...I bought 500 of those cut balls. They aren't that bad. There were a few that had chunks out of them. I got a barrel from Gort. It's a breech loading barrel with a sliding cover over the loading port. It works great. Shoots the balls out of sight.

I am having the same problem. I do not seem to see where any 500 balls are offered for 8$. Only the mentioned 500 balls for 225$.

At any rate, Rebal how much shipping cost? Just did some quick math, and 500 balls is going to weigh roughly 50lbs. Shipping has got to be fairly expensive.

Your right. The 4th quality balls aren't listed. They must be sold out right now. Check back ever so often. They may have some later. 500 shipped to me in Indiana around $30.00 total. They do weigh 50lbs.

I think they took it down. It should be in the bulk section but there isnt any 500 gbs for $8.00. :( And I was going to buy some.........
