the place to get this week started just back from Chicago.
Had an unbelievable weekend trip at the National. We'll be
continuing to talk more about that to cover and.

The great hobby that it is of.

Collecting sports collectibles cards all that more. Some special guests
sprinkled in throughout the course of the week as we
close in on of course, the Eagles opening up preseason
against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday. Football season is here,
but folks, we got a special guest in studio and
I'm really looking forward to hearing a little bit more
about this gentleman's story.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
But you know there's a.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Couple that have been running for a little while because
they're you know, look, I put my heart into one
for top Dog Law getting to the accident, I make
the nine one call move some Mary's talking about premium
golf balls from Buy my Balls. It's tremendous and of
course it's one of the more popular shows on the
Gambler swinging and do it with golf season being what
it is here in Philadelphia. I see you're representing the brand.
(01:53):
Nice work there, looking good. All right, So before we
dive into Buy my Balls getting the story all that,
once again, check out everything over at by my Balls
with a z dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Do not buy golf balls anywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'll give you my story you'll definitely like where my
head is at when it comes to purchasing balls as
well from buy my balls, and I want to jump
into you guys were able to get on the course yesterday,
and you guys played at Trump National.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was the Eat.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Clean Bro Gala or outing excuse me, and Jeff Moose
was playing with you.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Mike Powers was even teeing it up. Now.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I want to know because I actually got to give
him credit.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
There was no way in hell I could have played
golf yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
We got in at two o'clock in the morning, flight delayed,
went to see the Cubs, got after it, let it
let unwind. You unwinded a little bit in Chicago, and
that flight. By the time I got home like I
had one eye open. It was like I should have
not like I was sober, but I was dead tired
and I slept about probably noon yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Powers, on the other hand, was teeing off with you guys.
What times you guys get going.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think we teed off at nine. I think Wow
may have rolled in at eight fifty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Dude, he deserves a lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'll give him a roaring round of applause on now.
How'd you guys hit him together?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We hit him? Yeah, I mean that's that's about all
we did.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, nothing nice course, great course, nothing special out there
in terms of our play, but courses great, great conditions.
You know, they always keep those types of courses up
the you know, pretty pretty flawless.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So it was the Eat Clean bro outing and I
saw they had some different functions and I was interested,
what was the one cool one for you?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean they had a lot of alcohol tents. I'll
tell you that they had.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean there was there was one tent that stood
out where they had the different flavored I guess Vodkas
or whatever. And the person asked us, or ask me,
what do you want to try? I said, you got
six of them, want to try all of them? Get
me a shot of each? And you know, we just
tried everything that was put in front of us like that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You rude to say no, right, Oh man, Max, I
like your style. I would have fitted nicely on that one.
Then I did see a happy Gilmore challenge? Was that official?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
There was?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I think Mike ran about a five k before he
hit that ball. I don't know if he saw the video.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I did, not.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I think he started on the back of the te
box and then came in with a full sprint and
then did like a stutter step and then hit it.
We're you know, I think it's only supposed to be
like three or four steps back in it. But I
think he came in hot off of a five K,
just came in and just smacked the ball.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Obviously had tip to the great Happy Gilmore. I've yet
to see part two. I kind of let the comment
section take me away on that one.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
A little bit. Was reluctant to hit play, but I
will eventually.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I have watched, Honestly, in the last two weeks, I
think I've watched one, probably more than once because it
was on TV.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was stop both times. I'm like, what a great movie,
what a throwback?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
All right, so you're out there and of course all
the great activations on course. Last, but not least, I
did see a video of like a Potato gun.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, yeah, there was a like a like a gun.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I guess with like it's I think the guy said,
has kind of made out of PVC or something and
pumped it up with some air and you shoot it
at the green and close as a whole one something
or wow.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It was like an automatic birdie for us.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
And we almost we almost reputted the hole after hitting
the green with a gun. But you know, we we
made birdie there and uh but yeah, we were all
shooting shooting guns and I think somebody in our group
asked our guy if you ever shot anybody with the gun.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I think the guy just looked at him and, oh, jee, yeah,
nice golf ball gun. You can't really shoot anybody, who
was it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Off and run and you gotta love it all right,
So you guys had a good time though, that's all. Yeah,
it's obviously raising money for a great cause. Food I'm
sure was great. I just said, taking care of the
booze out in the course. Nothing better.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We got one coming up here are swinging and Ding
and open coming up in October.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I've only played in a few this this year, but
I look forward to what was it?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Was it a scramble scramble?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, best best way to.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Play I played.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I played shamble shambles one too.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Last time and and we played at this It was
a tournament with a bunch of pros, local pros, so
I think they were more inclined to do that, but
I dug a shambled.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That was my first one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You just you take everybody hits to drive, you take
the best driving, and you put your ball from then
on out, so you get a little bit more golf.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, shamble's good. Scrambles good. Yeah, scrambles good. If you're
trying to just listen to music and you know, drink
and have a good time or whatever. It's supposed to
be like pretty fast. But for some reason, man, every
single scrambles like six hours.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's a battle.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's it really does.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It does sting a little bit when you get on
that course and you're looking at the clock, like, do
we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Be out here five and a half six hours?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like, come on, man, that can't happen. But it does
happen a lot. But that's all right. It's the great
game of golf, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Max?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Your story, Yeah, buy my balls? I know why, of course,
And I'll give you my story. I just went to
you know, I got the Costco membership and my wife
comes back and she's got the Kirkland balls, and I'm
like that's nice, you know, But even they're.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Not that cheap, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So buy My Balls is where I go to. It's
where everybody goes to. From the gambler right here of course,
swinging and ding. It proudly sponsors you. And it's just
amazing because you get the pick of the litter, you
get the best of the best. You can go mint,
you can go brand new, essentially, you can go good,
and you can get your prices down to what you want.
But the big thing for me, and I've noticed this
(07:14):
this year, I would say majority of us, as long
as you find the ball that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You like, that's what you need to play.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's not a matter of going out there and getting
pro v's or nxts or whatever. You know, Like I'm
trying to no, find the ball that you like and
then go to buy my Balls. That's where you can
get as cheap as possible. So, like I won't lie
to you, my wife bought me a box of prov's
for Father's Day. I don't need to be playing pro v's,
but I promise you I could feel the difference. I
(07:43):
could feel the difference. I think they go further, I
think they're softer. I feel like I put them better.
Maybe it's in my mind, probably is. But the cool
thing is is you don't want to spend top dollar,
which they can get pricey. You go to buy my
balls and you get your choice from near mint, mint five, A, pristine, good,
three A.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You want to take us through what those mean, Christine men?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
So yeah, we we offer all different types of balls, right,
So we offer everything you can imagine everything you if
you go to Dick's Sporting Goods, right and you go
look on the rack there and you see pro V one,
you see tailor may TP five, you see Callaway Chrome Soft.
We offer it all everything, everything you can imagine, and
then we offer different grades. So we start off with
with a good grade and we call it good. It's
(08:26):
three A as advertised on the site.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Three A.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
That's your lowest playable variant that we will sell. That
ball is definitely gonna be beat up, right. It's it's
cheap for a reason. It's I think prov's are like
fifteen or fourteen bucks, and there are reason they're fourteen dollars.
It's not because it's the greatest deal in the world,
but it is a ball that is you know, beat up.
Scott is Nicks your four A. We call it your
(08:50):
near mint product. It's our most popular variant. It's you're
gonna find a lot of really good balls in there
that look like they've been hit hit maybe once twice,
may have something a little bit off on them, but
they're they're completely fine.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Uh. Then we get into the big guys.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You got the uh you got the five A uh
five A balls.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Those are those are extremely popular.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
You know, those are balls that may have a little
bit of sharpie on them or logos, but all in
all should be pretty pretty flawless. You're not gonna find
uh any any really cosmetic damages on that. And then
we call we have pristine. That is your cream of
the crop. Uh No, logos should be no sharpie marks.
It looks like a brand new golf ball. I think
(09:33):
that that's our most expensive variant we sell on the site.
Uh So we offer all different types of grades. Every
grade's meant for for a different type of player. If
you're going out there and you you know, like yourself,
you want to play a pro V because you know
you look cool, you have a pro V, but you
know you're gonna go exactly but you but you know
you're gonna lose six or seven balls. You're gonna slap
it around, like you know, you got to think to
(09:54):
yourself if you buy these fresh off the rack, especially
at the pro Shop yesterday, I walked in there and
it's like, sixty eight dollars as it doesn't for balls, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It makes no sense, right, So you know, I was
talking to Mike.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
About this, and you know when you when you go
into our bags and you and you buy a ninety
six or forty eight varyan, you're reaching into the bag
and you just you know, you're not really thinking about, oh,
any golf balls and stuff, but there's just something about
the way you feel. I guess when you open up
a fresh box of balls and you go down to
your last sleeve and you open it up and you
know you only have three balls left, and it's like, oh, crap,
I gotta go buy another sixty five, you know, doll
(10:28):
and and don't don't quote me on the sixty five
dollars price in the comment section, because you know people
will come. Yes, they sometimes put them on discount for
fifty five or six years, six or whatever. But in
Arizona last year, I saw them as much as seventy
two dollars for a box of balls, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So yeah, we offer all.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Different types of grades and it just depends on the
type of player that you are.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
When did you start buy my Balls?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So my partner Michael and I started it around COVID time,
eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We were driving back from a trip and we're chit
chatting in the car. He was telling me, you know
about when he was younger, he used to go pick
up balls.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I had another buddy of mine. We used to go
pick up balls.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
If we just bring it back, clean them and use
them for shag balls and play them. And we started
to do some research on the industry and the market
and everything, and we kind of realized there's there's an
opening here. I'm a college I'm a former college golfer.
I play at Florida Atlantic. I played new Balls my
whole entire life, right, And all my friends that play
other sports basketball, football, when they graduated college, you know,
(11:33):
they all wanted to get into golf.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And the biggest thing, and the biggest.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Biggest feedback I got from them was why is golf
so expensive? And I feel like that is the biggest
barrier of entry into golf is the fact that it's
so expensive. So how can we start reducing the cost
of the whole golf ecosystem to be able to grow
the game of golf.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So let's just start with the clubs, right, So you
look at the clubs.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
They have some some really good recycled clubs, but man,
it is a lot of ski use, it's a lot
of it's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So we started looking at the golf balls.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
We have a really strong connection in the golf community
to be able to source our products and stuff. And
we you know, at first, we were we were small.
I mean I was We were running out of my
garage in Michael's backyard. Wow, you know, super hot in
the summer, just sorting balls, sitting in a chair, drinking
a beer and sorting one after another and shipping them out.
And it got to the point where orders started coming
(12:24):
in and orders started coming in, and we really feel
like our expertise in golf and being around the sport
and you know, playing a high level allowed us to
be able to create a great product, have our grading
system be really strong compared to competitors. And yeah, we
have we have competitors out there you know, we we
(12:45):
know who are who our competitors are, and you know
we respect them.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We talk to them all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But you know, at the end of the day, we
feel our knowledge of golf runs absolute laps around them.
There's I mean, I can make a call out right now,
there's not one competitor in our space that can beat
me in golf. So, like, you know, how how are
you in an industry and you don't even really play
the sport or you aren't even good at the sport. Yeah,
you know, it's like a football coach never never playing football,
(13:10):
but telling his players how to play.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Like nobody likes some Monday morning quarterback.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, definitely, you.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Know we uh we just are really are golf IQ's high.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Our actual IQs may not be, but like you know,
we we know the sport.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and that's important.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Look that my eyes lit up when you said you're
a former golfer at FAU.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I mean, that's that's next level.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That changes the game or changes the you know, your
approach on everything, and it allows me to know you
know the game and what's important. Again and at the
end of the day, like you said, you could pick
out what your balls are and the best thing about
your website, as I often tell anybody and everybody, is
when you get the reviews, the organic reviews, the authentic reviews,
right from the jump there.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It is right there. You can read all you want.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
There's over sixty thousand if I'm not mistaken that the number.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And there's more.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We just I'm sure we can't put them up because
it's just there's so much data that that we.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Use, and we have, you know, good reviews. We have
bad reviews.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
A lot of our bad reviews, I guess frustrating. I
personally go through every single one of our reviews because
I take every single person's comment to hard to try
and be able to work with Michael in the back
of the warehouse to fix you know, errors and grading
discrepancies because I don't want somebody to order product from
us and to be crap. I want to make sure
everybody's experience is good. At the end of the day,
I would say ninety percent of our reviews that are
(14:25):
three star and under are people who order probably three
A product and like they they think they're going to
get mint product, and their comments are exactly what the
three A product is, and it's like you're describing the
type of golf ball that you purchased, so you know,
don't don't expect a miracle like we we do our
(14:46):
due diligence. The balls touch you know, five people before
they go go out the door. They're being graded two
times or being packaged. Everybody's being able to see the product,
so you know, we're we're making sure that our grading
is spot on to what the customers order.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, in bottom line is like you're looking at these
prices and yet you're not gonna please everybody. I get
how that works, but you know, if you're getting the
Mint five A, it is a significant drop off. And
I'm looking at two dozen here versus what it would
normally go in a store. And we'll leave those prices
for another day. But you can do the math for yourself.
People out there, trust me, these guys have been rocking
(15:21):
out with swinging and ding it for a little while.
I've been paying attention for a little while. I am
definitely a buy my ball's supporter. I have ordered two times.
Should probably just said once there for the people, but yes,
two times, ordered up two dozen and that's all right.
But again, like I said, it comes back to what
ball you like, And you know, when I was coming up,
I used to like Calways. There was Elit Trevino video
(15:44):
that I caught. He's like, get two Nike balls, get
two pro V's, get two are titleists and he would
rub them together and like they didn't stick.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Then he had two Calways.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I think it was Lee Trevino and like you can
literally see it, hear it, and I'm like, huh, that
makes you know it made.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
A stupid different to me. Who knows it's all.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's all branding, man.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, it's just like at the end of the day,
we've done testing on oh I bet on track, man
on Foresight, and Mike, my partner, took the I want
to say it took the the GC Squad, which is
one of the most popular texts on the PGA tour
that they use on the driving ranges when you see
players warming up and dialing their numbers. He took it
(16:24):
out a couple of weeks ago. And there's a pro
V one called pote Prov nine three two. I don't
quote me on the number, but it's something nine three
two ball is from like it's like an og prov.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's from the early two thousands or.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Whatever, and he put it head ahead against the brand
new prov because people will be like, oh, I got
a ball that's from twenty and nineteen. It's like trust me,
Like I I can't even say I if you can
identify the age of the golf balls, you know, shoot
us an email because we're hiring because if you can,
if you can, you know, get that nitpicky with it, sure,
(16:59):
and you can tell me how old a golf ball is.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I need you on my side.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So you know, yeah, you know this brand better, you
know this market better name. But you're aready.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You played collegiate golf, you've been playing from day one.
Can you tell the difference between certain balls?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So so when we do this testing and we take
these out on the course, we we take we go
to our warehouse and we just get a bag of
balls and we just start picking all different brands and
grades and stuff. We'll go out to the course and
then we'll do testing saying that the ball the PROV
one from the early two thousands performed better than the
ball from brand new. So it's it goes back to
(17:40):
the whole thing. It's it's you know, it's it's the
archer out the arrow. Ninety percent of guys that playing
golf that are over you know, you're over a five handicap,
you're not hitting the middle of the club face, so
you're not ever going to see the maximum performance of
a golf ball. The reason why the pros are so
good at what they do is because they hit the
middle of the club face and they can press it
almost per probably upwards.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
In ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
The average golfer going out on the weekend hits the
heel in the housle more times than they'll ever see
the middle of the club face, So you'll never actually
see the ball fly.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
So if you hit it off.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The heel and you're like, all these balls aren't going far,
that's because you're hitting off the heel, not because of
the ball performance, depending on how good you get. Like
if I hit a if I hit like a like
a max fly golf ball versus a prov yeah, there's
a there's there's a there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
But that's because I'm hitting the middle of the club face.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
What about putting for you, No putting, really I would
say that the other way around, So you can't really
so you get a ball blind test blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Blah, pudding.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, putting, I don't putting is just line, line and stroke.
I think putting is even more emphasized about the stroke
that you make when putting. Uh and and it's all
about how you know back them through back and that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I think that's where you get more. You're gonna get
the most exposed on your driver. And I think you're
because if you have a bad punting streak.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah. Way, So I love it, man. There these are
the stupid things. I've been playing golf forever, twenty plus years.
I still stink a twenty handicap even I could probably
get a couple more on that one.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Love it though.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really dialed in this summer, tried to get better, did
have a couple of better rounds, but man, it's like
you get that one round you get out there.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I played well on a Monday, got.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Back out there on a Tuesday, and it was like
I never picked up the club before.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You know it is it's golf. It's golf.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Maybe you don't because you played at a higher level.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Oh it's really it's it's a hacker like myself. Man,
I was so disappointed and that that was the.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
That was the day.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm like, all right, these club's gotta go away for
at least two weeks, Like I can't do this anymore.
But I love it and it brings us back. And
of course cool days are around the corner. There's nothing
better than September, October, somewhat November golf and we will
have swinging and ing it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You're gonna make it back up.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, we're coming up for that. Of course.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I think I'm gonna assemble a wow like the Avengers
of a golf team.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The way that is awesome to hear, because we are
gonna do a bigger and better this year. That is
by far the best one that I've ever been a
part of. And I really have very little to do
with it, I promise you. Moose gets everybody talk about Avengers.
He hooks it up so but it was always in
the summertime, but this time it's in a Monday. We're
gonna have a Monday night football game. So we're gonna
carry it, keep it going, no rush, everybody's gonna hang out.
(20:21):
It's gonna be a hell of a day out there
at the Legacy Club. Can't wait to rock out with you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Max. Awesome stuff, all right, So buy my Balls. Take
us through.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
First of all, I know you guys are on Instagram,
Buy my balls dot com. You can find them on socials.
Read the reviews for yourself. You just heard what Max
had to say. If you need to get up a
little bit more on the product here. But bottom line
is this, Like I could speak from experience, it's you
don't need to go buy that sleeve, especially.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
When you know you're gonna lose three out there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, go ahead, order ahead. It takes no time
for them to be delivered to your house. Now you
get yourself a dozen, two dozen, whatever it is, and
you're taking care for the.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Next couple rounds that you get out there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm notorious forgetting to the course and be like, yeah,
let me get a sleeve of those t X fives.
You know, it's like like, yeah, come on, dude, and
there's eighteen dollars more on what I just paid. So
buy my Balls. What's next for you guys? What you
guys got cooking?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, we're we're growing rapidly.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
We have some we have some moves where we're making.
We have a golf trip giveaway. We're giving away. It's
gonna be announced probably next week. Robert Trent Jones Golf
Trail four some uh. I think it's spend over one
hundred bucks with us, automatically entered golf hotel, All that
stuff's all included. You know, just gotta bring your golf clubs,
(21:41):
you know, partnering with another company on that in the
golf space. So that's gonna be a that's gonna be
really cool. We were launching some Christmas specials coming up.
We have some you know, custom packaging, great great for
gift giving. You're gonna get twelve balls and some really
nice packaging and come with one of our little bags.
You'll get Tea's Divit tools at just a like it's
a perfect gift to give to a to a dad
(22:03):
or husband or boyfriend or somebody for Christmas or any sort.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Of gift giving holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
So we're gonna have limited quantity of those hanging. We're
only going to bring in two thousand. Will sell them
pretty quickly, so that will be a that'll be a hit.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And again these are things that you start to think
of when you're talking to obviously holidays of Christmas. This
is an epic gift birthdays. We always struggle with birthdays.
You've bought dad everything from ties to hammers to you know, whatever,
it may be, every golf product in the back. Get
them something that really matters. Hook them up with a
subscription to buy my balls. Give them an opportunity. Subscription
(22:40):
is fair to say you guys can subscribe, right.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, you can subscribe. It's our best deal you get.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I think it's like a Depending on how what you
subscribe to, you can get up to twenty five percent off,
which locks you way through that rate for the whole year.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's pretty much the best discount we give.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I don't know if we ever really give a better
discount than that, but you know, twenty five percent off
you get for the whole year.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Balls get shipped to your house.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
You can go on all different types of plans, you know,
popular like two times a year ninety six balls. If
you're up in this area, you can you can posit
dial it back. That's why we kind of you know,
recommend you know, ninety six pack two times a year,
and it just you know, shows up on your door
and you can if you want to buy more, you
can buy more. But I mean that's a you got
a lot of golf balls and your first priority. So
(23:23):
if we're low on stock or anything, So even if
we're out of stock on like a like a tailor
made product on the site, if you're a subscriber, you're
priority number one. So we're never truly out of stock
on anything. We keep surplus in the back. We just
have to wait till we have a certain amount to
put on the site. But if you're subscribing and the
website says something out of stock, your order is still
(23:45):
gonna come on time. It's just you're skipping the line
in front of everyday retail customer.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So cool man, so jealous over here because you're able
to make a living and this this great game.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know, this game is what it's all about. I
love it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I know I was joking like, oh, putting the clubs
away for two weeks, Like I'm addicted. I get out
to the drive range. I really do try hard at
this sport. I know a lot of us do out
there because it's such a great game. So keep up
the great work. Do you get involved with anybody from
the the content creator game?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, we've I know Claire Hogle.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I wanted to bring her up, so yeah, dude, I'll
buy anything.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
She So we we've been approached by a lot of
I'm not going to do any any call outs on people,
but a lot of the big name people. We've been
approached by a lot of these big Instagram channels that
have multiple people involved with them.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It just comes down to it where it's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Sometimes that they may have a deal with somebody else,
so say they have a deal with tailor made already,
like they can't go and and wrap another golf ball
brand that sells all different ones, which totally understandable. And
then it just comes down to price sometimes, like we
are not cheap with our marketing. You know, marketing is
big for us and we take a lot of pride
in it. You know, we love we love the radio stuff,
(24:57):
we love the the face Spooked the Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Most guys deliver swinging and thing.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's besides my show, it's the number two show on
the station, but I'm also on five days a week.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They deliver.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, no, it's it's great, and I love the brand
exposure and it's We've really we do some small influencer stuff,
but at the end of the day. It's hard when
an influencer wants like twenty five grand for a post
and I run the numbers on it and I'm just like, no,
I'm better off investing this into some you know brand,
(25:29):
or just donating it to charity.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Hey, look, maybe we could put our minds together because
it's an untapped market in Philadelphia, all right, and there's
a lot of young, up and common kids that I
have my eyes on right now. Pause, all right, everybody
taking it. We're talking about business here. And this one,
this one guy I was just talking to, who's a member.
He's like, Dude, I know three blah blah blah blah
at my club. And he's like, I'm telling you right now,
(25:52):
we would blow it up. And I'm like, all right,
So these are some of the things we're kicking the
tires on, hopefully for twenty twenty six, big year for everybody.

it up. Continued success, Max. Thank you for stopping by

once again, check out everything over at by my Balls
with a z dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Do not buy golf balls anywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'll give you my story you'll definitely like where my
head is at when it comes to purchasing balls as
well from buy my balls, and I want to jump
into you guys were able to get on the course yesterday,
and you guys played at Trump National.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was the Eat.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Clean Bro Gala or outing excuse me, and Jeff Moose
was playing with you.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Mike Powers was even teeing it up. Now.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I want to know because I actually got to give
him credit.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
There was no way in hell I could have played
golf yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
We got in at two o'clock in the morning, flight delayed,
went to see the Cubs, got after it, let it
let unwind. You unwinded a little bit in Chicago, and
that flight. By the time I got home like I
had one eye open. It was like I should have
not like I was sober, but I was dead tired
and I slept about probably noon yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Powers, on the other hand, was teeing off with you guys.
What times you guys get going.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think we teed off at nine. I think Wow
may have rolled in at eight fifty.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Dude, he deserves a lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'll give him a roaring round of applause on now.
How'd you guys hit him together?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We hit him? Yeah, I mean that's that's about all
we did.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, nothing nice course, great course, nothing special out there
in terms of our play, but courses great, great conditions.
You know, they always keep those types of courses up
the you know, pretty pretty flawless.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So it was the Eat Clean bro outing and I
saw they had some different functions and I was interested,
what was the one cool one for you?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean they had a lot of alcohol tents. I'll
tell you that they had.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I mean there was there was one tent that stood
out where they had the different flavored I guess Vodkas
or whatever. And the person asked us, or ask me,
what do you want to try? I said, you got
six of them, want to try all of them? Get
me a shot of each? And you know, we just
tried everything that was put in front of us like that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You rude to say no, right, Oh man, Max, I
like your style. I would have fitted nicely on that one.
Then I did see a happy Gilmore challenge? Was that official?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
There was?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I think Mike ran about a five k before he
hit that ball. I don't know if he saw the video.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I did, not.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I think he started on the back of the te
box and then came in with a full sprint and
then did like a stutter step and then hit it.
We're you know, I think it's only supposed to be
like three or four steps back in it. But I
think he came in hot off of a five K,
just came in and just smacked the ball.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Obviously had tip to the great Happy Gilmore. I've yet
to see part two. I kind of let the comment
section take me away on that one.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
A little bit. Was reluctant to hit play, but I
will eventually.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I have watched, Honestly, in the last two weeks, I
think I've watched one, probably more than once because it
was on TV.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was stop both times. I'm like, what a great movie,
what a throwback?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
All right, so you're out there and of course all
the great activations on course. Last, but not least, I
did see a video of like a Potato gun.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, yeah, there was a like a like a gun.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I guess with like it's I think the guy said,
has kind of made out of PVC or something and
pumped it up with some air and you shoot it
at the green and close as a whole one something
or wow.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It was like an automatic birdie for us.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
And we almost we almost reputted the hole after hitting
the green with a gun. But you know, we we
made birdie there and uh but yeah, we were all
shooting shooting guns and I think somebody in our group
asked our guy if you ever shot anybody with the gun.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I think the guy just looked at him and, oh, jee, yeah,
nice golf ball gun. You can't really shoot anybody, who
was it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Off and run and you gotta love it all right,
So you guys had a good time though, that's all. Yeah,
it's obviously raising money for a great cause. Food I'm
sure was great. I just said, taking care of the
booze out in the course. Nothing better.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
We got one coming up here are swinging and Ding
and open coming up in October.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I've only played in a few this this year, but
I look forward to what was it?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Was it a scramble scramble?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, best best way to.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Play I played.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I played shamble shambles one too.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Last time and and we played at this It was
a tournament with a bunch of pros, local pros, so
I think they were more inclined to do that, but
I dug a shambled.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That was my first one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You just you take everybody hits to drive, you take
the best driving, and you put your ball from then
on out, so you get a little bit more golf.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, shamble's good. Scrambles good. Yeah, scrambles good. If you're
trying to just listen to music and you know, drink
and have a good time or whatever. It's supposed to
be like pretty fast. But for some reason, man, every
single scrambles like six hours.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's a battle.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's it really does.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It does sting a little bit when you get on
that course and you're looking at the clock, like, do
we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Be out here five and a half six hours?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like, come on, man, that can't happen. But it does
happen a lot. But that's all right. It's the great
game of golf, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Max?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Your story, Yeah, buy my balls? I know why, of course,
And I'll give you my story. I just went to
you know, I got the Costco membership and my wife
comes back and she's got the Kirkland balls, and I'm
like that's nice, you know, But even they're.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Not that cheap, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So buy My Balls is where I go to. It's
where everybody goes to. From the gambler right here of course,
swinging and ding. It proudly sponsors you. And it's just
amazing because you get the pick of the litter, you
get the best of the best. You can go mint,
you can go brand new, essentially, you can go good,
and you can get your prices down to what you want.
But the big thing for me, and I've noticed this
(07:14):
this year, I would say majority of us, as long
as you find the ball that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You like, that's what you need to play.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's not a matter of going out there and getting
pro v's or nxts or whatever. You know, Like I'm
trying to no, find the ball that you like and
then go to buy my Balls. That's where you can
get as cheap as possible. So, like I won't lie
to you, my wife bought me a box of prov's
for Father's Day. I don't need to be playing pro v's,
but I promise you I could feel the difference. I
(07:43):
could feel the difference. I think they go further, I
think they're softer. I feel like I put them better.
Maybe it's in my mind, probably is. But the cool
thing is is you don't want to spend top dollar,
which they can get pricey. You go to buy my
balls and you get your choice from near mint, mint five, A, pristine, good,
three A.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You want to take us through what those mean, Christine men?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
So yeah, we we offer all different types of balls, right,
So we offer everything you can imagine everything you if
you go to Dick's Sporting Goods, right and you go
look on the rack there and you see pro V one,
you see tailor may TP five, you see Callaway Chrome Soft.
We offer it all everything, everything you can imagine, and
then we offer different grades. So we start off with
with a good grade and we call it good. It's
(08:26):
three A as advertised on the site.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Three A.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
That's your lowest playable variant that we will sell. That
ball is definitely gonna be beat up, right. It's it's
cheap for a reason. It's I think prov's are like
fifteen or fourteen bucks, and there are reason they're fourteen dollars.
It's not because it's the greatest deal in the world,
but it is a ball that is you know, beat up.
Scott is Nicks your four A. We call it your
(08:50):
near mint product. It's our most popular variant. It's you're
gonna find a lot of really good balls in there
that look like they've been hit hit maybe once twice,
may have something a little bit off on them, but
they're they're completely fine.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Uh. Then we get into the big guys.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You got the uh you got the five A uh
five A balls.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Those are those are extremely popular.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
You know, those are balls that may have a little
bit of sharpie on them or logos, but all in
all should be pretty pretty flawless. You're not gonna find
uh any any really cosmetic damages on that. And then
we call we have pristine. That is your cream of
the crop. Uh No, logos should be no sharpie marks.
It looks like a brand new golf ball. I think
(09:33):
that that's our most expensive variant we sell on the site.
Uh So we offer all different types of grades. Every
grade's meant for for a different type of player. If
you're going out there and you you know, like yourself,
you want to play a pro V because you know
you look cool, you have a pro V, but you
know you're gonna go exactly but you but you know
you're gonna lose six or seven balls. You're gonna slap
it around, like you know, you got to think to
(09:54):
yourself if you buy these fresh off the rack, especially
at the pro Shop yesterday, I walked in there and
it's like, sixty eight dollars as it doesn't for balls, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
It makes no sense, right, So you know, I was
talking to Mike.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
About this, and you know when you when you go
into our bags and you and you buy a ninety
six or forty eight varyan, you're reaching into the bag
and you just you know, you're not really thinking about, oh,
any golf balls and stuff, but there's just something about
the way you feel. I guess when you open up
a fresh box of balls and you go down to
your last sleeve and you open it up and you
know you only have three balls left, and it's like, oh, crap,
I gotta go buy another sixty five, you know, doll
(10:28):
and and don't don't quote me on the sixty five
dollars price in the comment section, because you know people
will come. Yes, they sometimes put them on discount for
fifty five or six years, six or whatever. But in
Arizona last year, I saw them as much as seventy
two dollars for a box of balls, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So yeah, we offer all.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Different types of grades and it just depends on the
type of player that you are.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
When did you start buy my Balls?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So my partner Michael and I started it around COVID time,
eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We were driving back from a trip and we're chit
chatting in the car. He was telling me, you know
about when he was younger, he used to go pick
up balls.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I had another buddy of mine. We used to go
pick up balls.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
If we just bring it back, clean them and use
them for shag balls and play them. And we started
to do some research on the industry and the market
and everything, and we kind of realized there's there's an
opening here. I'm a college I'm a former college golfer.
I play at Florida Atlantic. I played new Balls my
whole entire life, right, And all my friends that play
other sports basketball, football, when they graduated college, you know,
(11:33):
they all wanted to get into golf.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And the biggest thing, and the biggest.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Biggest feedback I got from them was why is golf
so expensive? And I feel like that is the biggest
barrier of entry into golf is the fact that it's
so expensive. So how can we start reducing the cost
of the whole golf ecosystem to be able to grow
the game of golf.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So let's just start with the clubs, right, So you
look at the clubs.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
They have some some really good recycled clubs, but man,
it is a lot of ski use, it's a lot
of it's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So we started looking at the golf balls.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
We have a really strong connection in the golf community
to be able to source our products and stuff. And
we you know, at first, we were we were small.
I mean I was We were running out of my
garage in Michael's backyard. Wow, you know, super hot in
the summer, just sorting balls, sitting in a chair, drinking
a beer and sorting one after another and shipping them out.
And it got to the point where orders started coming
(12:24):
in and orders started coming in, and we really feel
like our expertise in golf and being around the sport
and you know, playing a high level allowed us to
be able to create a great product, have our grading
system be really strong compared to competitors. And yeah, we
have we have competitors out there you know, we we
(12:45):
know who are who our competitors are, and you know
we respect them.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
We talk to them all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But you know, at the end of the day, we
feel our knowledge of golf runs absolute laps around them.
There's I mean, I can make a call out right now,
there's not one competitor in our space that can beat
me in golf. So, like, you know, how how are
you in an industry and you don't even really play
the sport or you aren't even good at the sport. Yeah,
you know, it's like a football coach never never playing football,
(13:10):
but telling his players how to play.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Like nobody likes some Monday morning quarterback.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, definitely, you.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Know we uh we just are really are golf IQ's high.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Our actual IQs may not be, but like you know,
we we know the sport.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and that's important.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Look that my eyes lit up when you said you're
a former golfer at FAU.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I mean, that's that's next level.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That changes the game or changes the you know, your
approach on everything, and it allows me to know you
know the game and what's important. Again and at the
end of the day, like you said, you could pick
out what your balls are and the best thing about
your website, as I often tell anybody and everybody, is
when you get the reviews, the organic reviews, the authentic reviews,
right from the jump there.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It is right there. You can read all you want.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
There's over sixty thousand if I'm not mistaken that the number.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And there's more.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
We just I'm sure we can't put them up because
it's just there's so much data that that we.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Use, and we have, you know, good reviews. We have
bad reviews.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
A lot of our bad reviews, I guess frustrating. I
personally go through every single one of our reviews because
I take every single person's comment to hard to try
and be able to work with Michael in the back
of the warehouse to fix you know, errors and grading
discrepancies because I don't want somebody to order product from
us and to be crap. I want to make sure
everybody's experience is good. At the end of the day,
I would say ninety percent of our reviews that are
(14:25):
three star and under are people who order probably three
A product and like they they think they're going to
get mint product, and their comments are exactly what the
three A product is, and it's like you're describing the
type of golf ball that you purchased, so you know,
don't don't expect a miracle like we we do our
(14:46):
due diligence. The balls touch you know, five people before
they go go out the door. They're being graded two
times or being packaged. Everybody's being able to see the product,
so you know, we're we're making sure that our grading
is spot on to what the customers order.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, in bottom line is like you're looking at these
prices and yet you're not gonna please everybody. I get
how that works, but you know, if you're getting the
Mint five A, it is a significant drop off. And
I'm looking at two dozen here versus what it would
normally go in a store. And we'll leave those prices
for another day. But you can do the math for yourself.
People out there, trust me, these guys have been rocking
(15:21):
out with swinging and ding it for a little while.
I've been paying attention for a little while. I am
definitely a buy my ball's supporter. I have ordered two times.
Should probably just said once there for the people, but yes,
two times, ordered up two dozen and that's all right.
But again, like I said, it comes back to what
ball you like, And you know, when I was coming up,
I used to like Calways. There was Elit Trevino video
(15:44):
that I caught. He's like, get two Nike balls, get
two pro V's, get two are titleists and he would
rub them together and like they didn't stick.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Then he had two Calways.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I think it was Lee Trevino and like you can
literally see it, hear it, and I'm like, huh, that
makes you know it made.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
A stupid different to me. Who knows it's all.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It's all branding, man.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, it's just like at the end of the day,
we've done testing on oh I bet on track, man
on Foresight, and Mike, my partner, took the I want
to say it took the the GC Squad, which is
one of the most popular texts on the PGA tour
that they use on the driving ranges when you see
players warming up and dialing their numbers. He took it
(16:24):
out a couple of weeks ago. And there's a pro
V one called pote Prov nine three two. I don't
quote me on the number, but it's something nine three
two ball is from like it's like an og prov.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's from the early two thousands or.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Whatever, and he put it head ahead against the brand
new prov because people will be like, oh, I got
a ball that's from twenty and nineteen. It's like trust me,
Like I I can't even say I if you can
identify the age of the golf balls, you know, shoot
us an email because we're hiring because if you can,
if you can, you know, get that nitpicky with it, sure,
(16:59):
and you can tell me how old a golf ball is.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I need you on my side.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So you know, yeah, you know this brand better, you
know this market better name. But you're aready.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You played collegiate golf, you've been playing from day one.
Can you tell the difference between certain balls?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So so when we do this testing and we take
these out on the course, we we take we go
to our warehouse and we just get a bag of
balls and we just start picking all different brands and
grades and stuff. We'll go out to the course and
then we'll do testing saying that the ball the PROV
one from the early two thousands performed better than the
ball from brand new. So it's it goes back to
(17:40):
the whole thing. It's it's you know, it's it's the
archer out the arrow. Ninety percent of guys that playing
golf that are over you know, you're over a five handicap,
you're not hitting the middle of the club face, so
you're not ever going to see the maximum performance of
a golf ball. The reason why the pros are so
good at what they do is because they hit the
middle of the club face and they can press it
almost per probably upwards.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
In ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
The average golfer going out on the weekend hits the
heel in the housle more times than they'll ever see
the middle of the club face, So you'll never actually
see the ball fly.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
So if you hit it off.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The heel and you're like, all these balls aren't going far,
that's because you're hitting off the heel, not because of
the ball performance, depending on how good you get. Like
if I hit a if I hit like a like
a max fly golf ball versus a prov yeah, there's
a there's there's a there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
But that's because I'm hitting the middle of the club face.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
What about putting for you, No putting, really I would
say that the other way around, So you can't really
so you get a ball blind test blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Blah, pudding.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, putting, I don't putting is just line, line and stroke.
I think putting is even more emphasized about the stroke
that you make when putting. Uh and and it's all
about how you know back them through back and that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I think that's where you get more. You're gonna get
the most exposed on your driver. And I think you're
because if you have a bad punting streak.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah. Way, So I love it, man. There these are
the stupid things. I've been playing golf forever, twenty plus years.
I still stink a twenty handicap even I could probably
get a couple more on that one.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Love it though.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really dialed in this summer, tried to get better, did
have a couple of better rounds, but man, it's like
you get that one round you get out there.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I played well on a Monday, got.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Back out there on a Tuesday, and it was like
I never picked up the club before.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You know it is it's golf. It's golf.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Maybe you don't because you played at a higher level.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Oh it's really it's it's a hacker like myself. Man,
I was so disappointed and that that was the.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
That was the day.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm like, all right, these club's gotta go away for
at least two weeks, Like I can't do this anymore.
But I love it and it brings us back. And
of course cool days are around the corner. There's nothing
better than September, October, somewhat November golf and we will
have swinging and ing it.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You're gonna make it back up.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, we're coming up for that. Of course.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I think I'm gonna assemble a wow like the Avengers
of a golf team.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The way that is awesome to hear, because we are
gonna do a bigger and better this year. That is
by far the best one that I've ever been a
part of. And I really have very little to do
with it, I promise you. Moose gets everybody talk about Avengers.
He hooks it up so but it was always in
the summertime, but this time it's in a Monday. We're
gonna have a Monday night football game. So we're gonna
carry it, keep it going, no rush, everybody's gonna hang out.
(20:21):
It's gonna be a hell of a day out there
at the Legacy Club. Can't wait to rock out with you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Max. Awesome stuff, all right, So buy my Balls. Take
us through.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
First of all, I know you guys are on Instagram,
Buy my balls dot com. You can find them on socials.
Read the reviews for yourself. You just heard what Max
had to say. If you need to get up a
little bit more on the product here. But bottom line
is this, Like I could speak from experience, it's you
don't need to go buy that sleeve, especially.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
When you know you're gonna lose three out there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, go ahead, order ahead. It takes no time
for them to be delivered to your house. Now you
get yourself a dozen, two dozen, whatever it is, and
you're taking care for the.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Next couple rounds that you get out there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm notorious forgetting to the course and be like, yeah,
let me get a sleeve of those t X fives.
You know, it's like like, yeah, come on, dude, and
there's eighteen dollars more on what I just paid. So
buy my Balls. What's next for you guys? What you
guys got cooking?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, we're we're growing rapidly.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
We have some we have some moves where we're making.
We have a golf trip giveaway. We're giving away. It's
gonna be announced probably next week. Robert Trent Jones Golf
Trail four some uh. I think it's spend over one
hundred bucks with us, automatically entered golf hotel, All that
stuff's all included. You know, just gotta bring your golf clubs,
(21:41):
you know, partnering with another company on that in the
golf space. So that's gonna be a that's gonna be
really cool. We were launching some Christmas specials coming up.
We have some you know, custom packaging, great great for
gift giving. You're gonna get twelve balls and some really
nice packaging and come with one of our little bags.
You'll get Tea's Divit tools at just a like it's
a perfect gift to give to a to a dad
(22:03):
or husband or boyfriend or somebody for Christmas or any sort.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Of gift giving holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
So we're gonna have limited quantity of those hanging. We're
only going to bring in two thousand. Will sell them
pretty quickly, so that will be a that'll be a hit.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And again these are things that you start to think
of when you're talking to obviously holidays of Christmas. This
is an epic gift birthdays. We always struggle with birthdays.
You've bought dad everything from ties to hammers to you know, whatever,
it may be, every golf product in the back. Get
them something that really matters. Hook them up with a
subscription to buy my balls. Give them an opportunity. Subscription
(22:40):
is fair to say you guys can subscribe, right.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, you can subscribe. It's our best deal you get.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I think it's like a Depending on how what you
subscribe to, you can get up to twenty five percent off,
which locks you way through that rate for the whole year.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's pretty much the best discount we give.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I don't know if we ever really give a better
discount than that, but you know, twenty five percent off
you get for the whole year.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Balls get shipped to your house.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
You can go on all different types of plans, you know,
popular like two times a year ninety six balls. If
you're up in this area, you can you can posit
dial it back. That's why we kind of you know,
recommend you know, ninety six pack two times a year,
and it just you know, shows up on your door
and you can if you want to buy more, you
can buy more. But I mean that's a you got
a lot of golf balls and your first priority. So
(23:23):
if we're low on stock or anything, So even if
we're out of stock on like a like a tailor
made product on the site, if you're a subscriber, you're
priority number one. So we're never truly out of stock
on anything. We keep surplus in the back. We just
have to wait till we have a certain amount to
put on the site. But if you're subscribing and the
website says something out of stock, your order is still
(23:45):
gonna come on time. It's just you're skipping the line
in front of everyday retail customer.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So cool man, so jealous over here because you're able
to make a living and this this great game.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know, this game is what it's all about. I
love it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I know I was joking like, oh, putting the clubs
away for two weeks, Like I'm addicted. I get out
to the drive range. I really do try hard at
this sport. I know a lot of us do out
there because it's such a great game. So keep up
the great work. Do you get involved with anybody from
the the content creator game?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, we've I know Claire Hogle.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I wanted to bring her up, so yeah, dude, I'll
buy anything.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
She So we we've been approached by a lot of
I'm not going to do any any call outs on people,
but a lot of the big name people. We've been
approached by a lot of these big Instagram channels that
have multiple people involved with them.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It just comes down to it where it's it's it's.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Sometimes that they may have a deal with somebody else,
so say they have a deal with tailor made already,
like they can't go and and wrap another golf ball
brand that sells all different ones, which totally understandable. And
then it just comes down to price sometimes, like we
are not cheap with our marketing. You know, marketing is
big for us and we take a lot of pride
in it. You know, we love we love the radio stuff,
(24:57):
we love the the face Spooked the Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Most guys deliver swinging and thing.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's besides my show, it's the number two show on
the station, but I'm also on five days a week.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They deliver.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, no, it's it's great, and I love the brand
exposure and it's We've really we do some small influencer stuff,
but at the end of the day. It's hard when
an influencer wants like twenty five grand for a post
and I run the numbers on it and I'm just like, no,
I'm better off investing this into some you know brand,
(25:29):
or just donating it to charity.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Hey, look, maybe we could put our minds together because
it's an untapped market in Philadelphia, all right, and there's
a lot of young, up and common kids that I
have my eyes on right now. Pause, all right, everybody
taking it. We're talking about business here. And this one,
this one guy I was just talking to, who's a member.
He's like, Dude, I know three blah blah blah blah
at my club. And he's like, I'm telling you right now,
(25:52):
we would blow it up. And I'm like, all right,
So these are some of the things we're kicking the
tires on, hopefully for twenty twenty six, big year for everybody.
But man, buy my balls, you guys, continue to rip
it up. Continued success, Max. Thank you for stopping by
giving us the breakdown. Look forward to rocking out with
you in October. Man, it was bummed that I couldn't
be there yesterday, But to be honest with you, that
would have been ugly. If I got there whatever powers
(26:13):
looked like, I would have been ten times worse.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
All right, I don't know if he knew what he
looked like.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Max, you the best, safe travels back to Florida. Buy
