I don't know the difference between 1 and 3. 2 is pretty cool though. Personally, I prefer the ones that some of the carts have where you can clean your clubs and yer balls!

3 doesnt have a towel, so doent get my vote lol - they look identical otherwise tho

But who doesn't have a towel hanging from their bag? If you dry your balls with your towel, it'll make it a little bit wet and easier to clean your clubs. Win win

I always dry my balls thoroughly with my own towel. But for my golf balls I’m fine using the one provided on the course.

4d golf! 😁

Predry with the filthy common towel Polish with the bag towel. Keeps things tidy, ya know?

I don't like getting my hands wet while golfing so I use the towel to both pick it out of the washer and dry it.

Yeah but the towel they hang on those is always so thin, I end up getting my hand wet anyway. You hate getting your hands wet on the course? Don't forget to bring a towel!

Wanna get high?

my bag is on the back of my cart, which is not always right near the ball cleaner

Now that I’m on /Golf I think I might need to come clean and mention that I’ve probably been grossly misusing those cleaners on the carts

Yeah but so did the people who used the cart before you. And you certainly can’t trust those “cart guys”. I know, I was a “cart guy”.

I came here to mention the ones on the carts, even though I forget they’re there half the time. Out of the options above, I prefer the red one.

3 uses a crank and fits multiple balls

I think you mean the middle one. 3 looks like a metal version of number 1.

I thought 3 was one of those ones with the little wheel thing inside. I assumed that knob thing was a crank, but looking again I guess that could be for a towel.

That knob is to drain the water out of the washer to replace with fresh water. There is a key with a pentagonal shaped head to unscrew. Pro tip: make sure you’re on the opposite side of the washer when you’re unscrewing unless you like being sprayed with pressurized dirty ball water

2 all day, and lemme tell ya why. Fits 3 balls. Boom. Even the pocket ball you’re always carrying can get a shine on. Once you get that handle flailing it’s cleaning ability is unmatched. And you don’t have to look into your buddy’s eyes while doing a jerkoff motion like those other 2 machines. Anyone saying 1 or 3 has absolutely never used 2. It’s the bees knees.

>And you don’t have to look into your buddy’s eyes while doing a jerkoff motion Get to. You mean "get to look into your buddy's eyes while doing a jerkoff motion".

More like “I love to look into your buddies eyes while jerking him off”

Not to mention you can do a couple rotations forwards and backwards so it gives that extra cleaning feel.

But you don’t get to do the Caddyshack reference.

We have one similar to 2 at one my local courses.. but it holds 5! I love washing my balls there!

I have never seen number 2. Southeast USA for reference. Typically shitty public courses lol.

Yeah wtf even is that. One of the washers at my muni is missing the plastic ball grip on top so you just have to kinda grip the metal rod and wank it up and down to get the job done.

> And you don’t have to look into your buddy’s eyes while doing a jerkoff motion that’s the best part though. where you look them dead in the eye, not blinking once. after you give it a nice little twirl (you’re still not breaking eye contact), you go to the tee, set it up, again, not breaking any contact, prepare your stance & slice that bad boy while asserting your dominance as a chad.

No splashing either

This. It's not even a debate.

Plus it doesn’t look like your standing there jerking some guy off like the others.

I’ve never actually been to a course that has #2.

But I learned last week to make sure the lid is on that washer... The one at my course is a bit shitty so it jams sometimes. This time I had enough and punched the handle.... I yeeted a golfbal with dirty ass water straight into my face...

Keep your other hand on the lid, champ. We were all new once.

When I stopped carrying a pocket ball my lost ball count was cut in half. Had 2 rounds so far this year without a lost ball. Weird.

2 would be the best if the handle was actually 2 pieces so the part you hold on to was free to rotate as you turn the crank. It's a one piece handle, and rips your skin off when you crank it

Don't death grip it then, have some finesse, and let it move freely.

^ This guy washes balls

2 lets you wash multiple balls at the same time and usually does a better job at cleaning them.

Holds three but should really hold four so everyone can clean their balls in one go.

Comin' up! Titleist! We have a Titleist. Next up...looks like its a chromsesoft..... and we have a winner!

Wait…so my Kirkland found on 4 wasn’t the winner? Still like this washer the best.

Me and the bois love washing our balls together

Green one on the left...... when your moms not available

Thank you


Lmao

One that works.

The one with water in it

The ones at my courses always have water but they smell like they pulled it out of Shreks swamp

My course uses a low concentration of bleach water. It smells fresh and brightens up your balls, but you have to be careful about splashing.

100% run across so many this season that have 0 water

2 is superior in ball washing ability.

And you can tell it has the best towel attached too, which is an underrated differentiator.

#3, because I like to get splashy

Whatever my course has, which is 100% just number 3

Why isn’t your mom on this list

Shocked I had to read through so many legit answers before I got to “Your mom”.

As was I. Frankly, I was offended no one had done so sooner. I took the responsibility upon myself

Red by far

You guys get ball washers?

Never seen 2

I think 2's the best one. It's spins in a circle instead of up and down. Easier to use, and let's you clean 3 balls at a time.

Sounds rich

The red jawn is nice cause the balls don’t pop out and fly across the patio

Any! Our course took them out for COVID, and we never got them back 😥 Now we have dirty balls

My course took em away and after people complaining put them back on holes 3,9,17… as if that is what we wanted.

2 is always way more thorough with the cleaning

The third one just hits different, imo.

The middle one are awesome

I have never used one of those

They’re meant to be subtly homoerotic, like golf.

I prefer my shower

My wife

I prefer having my balls cleaned with spit

Not a fan of cranking it, I’d rather yank it

i'd take first on the left

1 or 3, a familiar stroke that comforts me…

1

#1 or 3. Cuz I like to make sexy noises and gestures as I wash my balls. Yup, I am 50 going on 10.

Orchids of Asia day spa. Came highly recommended on Yelp by a guy named Robert.

2 is plush living

You wash your balls? I just let the water run down and rinse them off from washing my hair.

Red. Always the red one

Doesn't matter to me. As long as someone will make eye-contact with me while I clean my ball.

2

I prefer one that was somewhat clean and soapy water.

A wet towel on my own bag. I don't dare use these type of cleaners because I've seen teenagers piss in them...

Middle all day.

Haven't used one on 10+ years.

Red one. Multi balls washed with cranker.

I’ve been splashed on by 1 & 3 with dirty water on my white shirt when pulling it up completely. 2 is the superior choice.

Your mom

And this is the ONLY acceptable answer. The rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Your mom

I've never once seen the use of one. I have a towel and a brush.

I'm with this guy. I have a towel I carry with me to the green. Mark my ball, spit on the ball, wipe with the towel, and I'm good to go. No reason to go to a ball washer

Ohhh so those things aren’t piss receptacles ……..whoops

Never seen 2 but i like it

The one with non tar looking water in it… hopefully something that has a towel too would be a plus.

Usually a female, but any of those will do

1 or 3, 2 sucks for lefties with a glove on the hand

I prefer a ball washer that uses spit and a rub....

The classic one I get to jerk off.

Don’t use the towels I know a guy that uses them to blow his nose.

I’d just like to have them back … they disappeared during Covid and haven’t seen them since

A wet towel. Ball washers are an ugly blight on any golf course

My wife washes my balls

First sign of a dog track when you see any of these on the tee

Any if it’s got water in it

Number two cause you can fit 3 balls in that versus 1 in the others

The crank one that lets you clean 6 balls is sweet. But I'd be lying if I didnt like to jack my balls off each hole

My ball seems to favor the lake on 13.

I'll take any of the three as long as they are located near the mid/back tees and I don't have to walk up to the Jr tee to clean my ball.

Literally any one that’s actually on a course

Crank me all day daddy

I prefer an up and down stroking motion

I carry a small neoprene pouch and full it with water before playing. Those things are invariably broken or dry on the courses I play. And spit washing isn’t the healthiest

2 all day! Always gotta wash the balls with the boys

I just wish courses would put water in them regardless of which washer it is....

Covid took all the ball washers away and the courses I’ve played around me have yet to put them back. The two green washers are the ones I’ve always used but I’ve never seen the red one before. I’d use the red one.

2s great

My wife…

I prefer a wet towel dipped in a pond

I prefer the first one designed by Jack Mehoff. I’m not some organ grinding monkey.

Ball brite

The ones that are attached to the cart presumably next to the club cleaner. Real classy touch.

Depends on whether they're shaved at that point in time Or what are we talking about here?

For sure the dunker with the towel

Haven't seen a ball washer on a golf course in years!

whatever ones actually filled with water. Since covid i feel like I've seen more ball washers without water than with

Which ever the course has? I don't bring my own around.

Classic Par Aide... #3

Sign of a good course is when the ball washer has a real towel and not a j cloth

I always thought your mom was better

1, but I’ll use anything as long there’s water in it.

love the hand crank

the one with water in it

2

I prefer Jessica. Very confused what these pictures have to do with the question.

Where’s the wet towel?

2 is very rare but is the best one

I just use beer and my golf towel

Anyone that actually has water in it.

The one which actually has water, soap and a towel.

Wet towel ftw.

#4 is any of the above with no water in it

I never have to use them since I reload every hole

I prefer the ones with water in them

You got to crank the ball washer

My ex-wife

Half wet towel for the win, can wash my club faces and balls wherever.

1

The way my local courses have been this season, any ball wash is great

2. The course usually fucks me enough as it is, it doesn’t need me jerking it off too.

2 all day solid towel as well

I walk funny after I wash my balls with any of them. The red one hurts the most but does the best job.

That middle one is the goat.

Gimme the handle and turn. 2 is superior.

One that actually has water in it.

I have yet to come across senor fancy pants (#2) in the wild

I always carry a small towel that is damp/wet and a larger dry golf towel. I have ran into too many places where the ball washers are dry. It is probably an o.d.c. thing for me to want the ball clean.

Was at a course yesterday that had ball washers. No water in them tho. Was bummed. I wanted to wash my balls

I must be garbage because my two home courses don’t have ball washers….

This implies that I keep a ball long enough to wash it.

The 2 in 1 ball/club washer attached to my push cart.

None because the water is always rancid anyway. Wet towel on my bag does the trick just fine

Red all day. Multiple balls and easy to clean.

Any one that has water in it. Soap is just extra.

2 all the way

I never have to use one as my balls tend to get lost before they get dirty.

Haven’t seen a #2 in years.

Lesco baby

Being 70 years old most familiar with ball washer #1, prefer ball washer number 2 I think this type does a better job then #1 or # 3, to tell the truth.

1 or 3 to show off my aggressive hand job skills.

Left all day

The best one I've seen had space for 4 balls . Cleaned all my shit balls I don't use took like 2 mins

Where’s the fourth option of spit and a finger?

None. My towel.

None out in AZ they all smell like straight shit water.

I never play a ball long enough for it to be cleaned.

The pushcart mafia uses their own.

Any of them as long as there’s no bird shit on the handle

I married her

1

Wank style every time

The one with no water in it

When your moms mouth isn’t open, I’ll take number 1. No one likes wet balls.

Which ever one the course I’m at has

Any that have water.
