Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly Selected Ball Supplier to 2010 PGA Show Equipment Test Center
(TORONTO) – Knetgolf, exhibiting under its wholesale moniker GolfBallsOnly (Booth# 1817), has been selected as official range ball supplier to the indoor Equipment Test Center at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL.
The largest recycler and refinisher of premium, pre-owned, brand-name golf balls, Knetgolf /
GolfBallsOnly will supply two-piece balls recovered and refurbished via the company’s state-of-the-art process. The result is a “like-new” quality and performance directly responsible for the purchase of more than 20 million balls from Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly in 2009.
Recent independent tests conducted by Advanced Golf Solutions – the top-rated test facility for major ball manufacturers – confirm the Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly-refurbished Titleist, Callaway, Nike and others show behavior consistent with new golf balls. Carry distances of driver, six-iron and wedge differ by only seven, five and three inches, respectively.
“As a part of our expanded show presence, we’re thrilled attendees will experience our premium, refinished balls,” says Gary Shienfield, CEO of Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly. “The performance of our balls – at half price – is a driving force behind golf shops realizing profits.”
Visitors to the Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly booth will learn about its high-quality products, innovative packaging, tailored green-grass programs and in-depth test data, all leading to unrivaled margins for retailers.
The company recovers golf balls from more than 2,000 exclusive golf resorts mainly in Arizona, California and Nevada, which then undergo Knetgolf’s proprietary and leading-edge cleansing process to ensure top condition. The refurbished balls are then graded Mint, “A,” “B” or “C” and offered at half price or better directly to the golf public at www.knetgolf.com.
Through its wholesale division, www.golfballsonly.com, Knetgolf supplies refinished and refurbished brand-name golf balls to mass-merchant retail chains, golf-specialty shops, pro shops and internet retailers in more than 30 countries. Many merchandisers realize greater margins and sell-through over new golf balls due to the aggressive price points and product quality.
GolfBallsOnly refinished range balls are distributed by Easy Picker Golf Products of Lehigh Acres Florida.
Golfers lose more than one billion balls yearly and 4.5 balls per round on average, according to industry estimates.
