Golf distribution experts Second Chance Ltd have launched the world’s first environmentally friendly golf range ball, made from 85% recycled surlyn and thermal plastic.
Second Chance Ltd have been recycling golf balls for over 30 years and providing PGA Professionals and driving ranges with premium lake balls and new & used range balls. The Eco practice ball is another huge development in Eco friendly products, helping the sports industry strive towards a more sustainable and responsible green future.
Patrick Daniels, Managing Director of Second Chance Ltd, “As a business we are constantly looking at ways to help the environment and re-use what we already have. We sell millions of golf balls each year and we’ve been working hard to produce an Eco-friendlier product. These golf balls do just that and will help driving ranges up and down the country do their bit for the environment whilst providing the same premium level of performance customers are used to.”
The performance of the eco balls has been independently tested by Slinfold Golf & Country Club in West Sussex. They tested the Eco practice ball against a leading brand, with the results almost identical.
Luke Blacker, spokesman for Slinfold Golf & Country Club said: “The results from the Trackman comparison between the Srixon 2-piece range ball and the Second Chance Eco practice ball was very positive. Surprisingly, the responsiveness and performance of the Eco practice ball on the range, chipping green and putting green felt superior to the branded alternative. I would definitely recommend these balls to ranges looking for a long term, green and affordable alternative.”
Made of a 2-piece construction, the white Eco Range Ball is on sale now with the yellow range ball available for pre-order, with delivery from September.
