At Ace Golf Balls we do not, and will not sell refurbished/refinished golf balls. Refurbished golf balls involve one or more of the following steps;

  * Stripping
  * Painting
  * Stamping
  * Clear Coating

Generally speaking this process means taking off the factory clear coat and/or paint and using less than factory quality coatings to recoat the balls. By doing this there is no way of knowing how old the original ball is. Under the new coating could be a ball that's 10 years old! Acushnet (owners of Titleist) assert that "the refurbishing process produces a golf ball that bears no resemblance to a genuine Acushnet product in performance, quality or appearance" and that the refurbishing process so alters the basic composition of Acushnet's golf balls that "it would be a misnomer to call the article by its original name"
