Year-to-date international business increases 400 percent over six continents
(TORONTO) – Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly – the world’s leading provider of pre-owned, brand-name golf balls – reports a 400-percent increase in its international business year-to-date over 2009, eclipsing 40 countries.
The rapid global expansion of Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly premium, refurbished products – Tour-grade Titleist, Callaway, Nike, Bridgestone and other brands at half price of new golf balls – includes distribution in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. This worldwide reach is supported by golfers losing more than one billion balls annually and 4.5 balls per round on average, according to industry estimates.
“The acceptance of our product is widespread, especially in emerging golf markets like Asia and Eastern Europe,” says Gary Shienfield, CEO of Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly. “These golfers are extremely brand conscious, so when top labels are offered at half price, it becomes highly profitable for our international partners.”
Driving this universal success is Knetgolf’s wholesale division, www.golfballsonly.com, which supplies like-new, refinished golf balls to mass-merchant retail chains, pro shops and internet retailers. The company’s aggressive price and quality proposition – coupled with sleek packaging that seamlessly merchandises into existing displays – yields significant margins and inventory turns.
Testament to the levels of performance Knetgolf / GolfBallsOnly provides, independent research conducted by Advanced Golf Solutions – the top-rated test facility for major ball manufacturers – confirms the company’s refurbished balls show behavior consistent with new golf balls.
Knetgolf recovers golf balls from more than 2,000 exclusive golf resorts mainly in Arizona, California and Nevada, which then undergo its 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.
GolfBallsOnly refinished range balls are distributed by Easy Picker Golf Products of Lehigh Acres, Florida.
