Why Refinish?

So why take the extra step? Although the majority of recovered golf balls sold in the market are in good enough condition to be simply washed and re-used, some high-end golf balls benefit from the added detailing of removing microscopic imperfections and re-coating the ball. This process not only restores the fresh look and feel of a ball straight out of the sleeve, but can also recover precious performance. Studies show that refinished golf balls have an average carry distance equal or greater than recycled golf balls.
