New service: Buy some non-logo playing balls and beat the per ball shipping cost.
The US Postal Service offers a flat rate mailing box for $9.85. This box holds up to 112 balls so price/ball can get down to only 8 cents for postage versus the 80 cents or so/ball on small quantities. Add a few playing balls to round out your order of logo balls. Tell me what brand you play and I will select some pearls for you. It's almost like free shipping for those extra balls! They are priced competitively for $2/ball (e.g.: Pro-V1s), $1/ball (e.g.: Titleist SoLo), or $0.50/ball (e.g.: Pinnacle).

2009 PGA Merchandise Show putter award:
The 2009 PGA Merchandise Show
This annual event held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL is always a treat to go to as all the new golf merchandise for the year is displayed. This year marked the return of Titleist. Yea! But the Show attendance was smaller and products more limited due to the economy constraint. A sign of the times was the introduction of the new Dixon golf ball - a "Green" ball. It and its shipping boxes all use recycled materials yet meet USGA specifications.
Interestingly, for the third year in a row, I could not find a new putter better than the Kramski HPP-325 winner of the 2006 Show. This top-of-the-line putter has all the characteristics of a world class putter. Great feel, balance, alignment, and even a ledge on the back plate to easily pick a golf ball up off the ground - with no bending.
Okay, folks, here is the winner of my annual putter testing contest to select the best new putter of the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show. Drum roll, please:
This putter won all the categories in the official putting challenge hosted by the http://golftestusa.com - putter review. Amazing! They agreed with what I knew three years ago. The key to this blade putter is its great balance, feel, and seemingly huge sweet spot. Its sole is designed and balanced to minimize head twisting. Plus the face is designed to get the ball rolling right away - minimal ball skid occurs. Overall, the design of the Kramski HPP 340 promotes an effortless square-back and square-through putting stroke. You just plain make more putts. Try one.
You can see them and order from their web site:
________________________________________________________________________ Since the premium Kramski putters are ruling the Best of Show category for three years now, I felt the need to start a new category: best innovation. This years winner goes to Ontic Golf for its adjustable lie putters.
Go directly to their web site to see them.

For all you golf ball collectors out there, two really unique balls came out: The Caesar ball from the Cayman Islands and the GolfCross oval/football shaped ball from New Zealand. The Caesar is a smooth ball so it does not go as far as a dimpled ball BUT it goes very straight since you can't spin the ball. It is a great ball for par 3's and a very smooth rolling putting ball. The GolfCross ball is a "gotta have" one due to its uniqueness. The ball is used on special courses courses in New Zealand, the UK, and a few more locations. Hockey like nets are used as the target or "cup" and special tee pods are used to position the ball on shots. The way you lean the ball on the pod determines its direction/curve. This new version of golf in catching on particularly on places were there is not a lot of space. But you just have to have a ball as it is such a fun conversation piece. email me if interested in obtaining one or go to www.golfcross.com.
What Makes A Good Golf Ball Display?
The biggest problem a golf ball collector has is limited wall space for a ball
display. Next, comes display cost and needing to
move balls around or put new balls in - and balls come in different sizes.
Now, add that
balls tend to rotate around due to surface vibrations. And, maybe most important, you want
your spouse to like the display well enough so you can proudly show off your collection
inside your home. So what about solutions?
These problems are solved by a revolutionary new ball storage system concept using our patented golf ball shelf to attach large numbers of golf balls to a vertical surface. The display takes less wall space (because the ball shelves are so thin) and yet, the design allows one to easily add or remove balls. Mixing various sized balls within the display is also easy because of the flexibility of the ball shelf. Another important feature is that the unique design of the ball cradle minimizes the ball turning problem (due to surface vibrations) of present racks. Finally, because the shelves are transparent, they virtually disappear after the display is filled with balls. After all, your collection of balls should be the center of attraction.
I had been trying different ways to display my collection of 28,000 country club logo golf balls. Finally, after over ten years and many attempts, we came up with the ball shelf. The concept is simple, yet more functional than any ball rack on the market now. Our display line can have a modern contemporary look (using shiny black or clear acrylic as the back panel), or a traditional look (using oak or oak veneer), or a nice, yet inexpensive, look (using dull black expanded PVC) for full wall collections.
The displays are either wall mounted or sit on a flat surface. Each model is named after its shape or style and the number of balls that it holds. A display consists of a grooved back panel, transparent ball shelves which snuggly fit into the grooves, and an optional frame. The back panel can be made of any material that can be drilled into. It also can be cut to any shape so customizing is relatively easy.
So, what are you waiting for? Show off your special golf balls in a display which will
enhance any room in your home! Or if you haven't started collecting, well, start now!
Collect old balls or, easier yet, logo balls. Save balls from
courses that you have played, or specialize on professional sports teams, colleges,
golf courses or country clubs, Top 100 clubs, major golf tournaments or any kind of
tournament, airlines, banks, beverages, business, Disney characters, military, novelties,
vehicles, etc. Getting and displaying balls is fun! And you
will make many new friends as you enjoy the journey of logo ball
mania, I mean, collecting.
