The Bridgestone Mix Recycled Golf Balls are very playable. The golf balls are a great way to play or practice with one of the hottest balls in golf. The defects are mainly cosmetic and balls may have scuffs, discoloration, minor nicks and club marks. Recycled golf balls have not had the original characteristic of the ball altered in any way. Recycled is a cleaning process only. The golf balls are soaked in a non-abrasive cleaning solution and then go through a washer specifically designed for golf balls.
