Sometimes we get asked why our Biodegradable Golf Balls cost as much as a mid level ball. With so many awesome budget ball options on the market, why spend the money on a golf ball that may end up as fish food anyways?
The Cost vs. Traditional Golf Balls
When comparing biodegradable golf balls to traditional ones, the price may seem higher upfront. But let’s take a deeper dive—what is the true cost of those cheaper, conventional balls? Economists have a fancy way of talking about the hidden costs in the form of negative externalities.
The Hidden Cost of Traditional Golf Balls
Sure, traditional golf balls might save you a few dollars initially, but they come with significant hidden costs:
- Environmental Impact: Regular golf balls can take hundreds of years to break down, leaching toxic chemicals and releasing harmful microplastics into our waterways and ecosystems.
- Manufacturing Footprint: Most traditional golf balls are mass-produced in offshore factories, often leaving a significant carbon footprint before they even reach the shelf.
By contrast, biodegradable golf balls break down cleanly and safely in the environment, leaving no toxic residue behind.
What Makes Biodegradable Golf Balls Unique?
Our eco-friendly golf balls are crafted from PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) making them fully water-soluble and safe for the environment.
- Unlike traditional options, they dissolve entirely, preventing microplastic pollution.
- As a newer innovation, the manufacturing process is smaller-scale, which impacts costs. However, as demand grows, so will efficiency—and prices can decrease over time.
- Perfect for Specialized Uses: Fish don't like microplastics and that is a fact! Golf balls are not fish food. These balls are ideal for activities like yacht golf! Using regular balls in such scenarios contributes to pollution, but biodegradable balls dissolve harmlessly in water.
- We are not the only choice of biodegradable golf balls, but we are are the best! Our balls cost less then others and perform better!
