Do golf balls go bad? Here’s how to know when it’s time to toss them
Sketchy golf ball? Here's how to see if it's still playable
Golf ball near the hole

Maybe you've found a box of old golf balls in your garage, or an unclaimed one out on the fairway. You might be wondering, do golf balls go bad? Modern golf balls are actually pretty robust, lasting as long as five or ten years or more without significant degradation, but it's always good to check. Golf balls can degrade over time, and the signs aren't always obvious. Here's everything you need to consider when teeing up with old golf balls.
How to tell if your golf balls are bad

Look for structural damage
The first thing to look for is structural damage. If your golf balls have visible scuffs, cuts, or cracks from play, they aren't going to serve you well out on the fairway. These deformities, even if they are small, can affect the aerodynamics during flight. You might be okay with very minor dings, but use your best judgment.
Checking the health of the core
If your golf ball has no structural damage, now it's time to check the health of the core. I like to give them a gentle squeeze to see if they are firm and consistent all the way around. A bad one will feel softer or even squishy in places. Then, gently bounce the golf ball on a hard surface and compare it to a new one. If it bounces almost as high, that means that it's likely still good.
The saltwater test
Epsom salt isn't just great for getting rid of sore muscles. A while ago, Bryson DeChambeau made some waves for his creative method for testing the balance of his golf balls. Golfers have been doing this for a while, but he went on to win the U.S. Open with this golfing hack.

Lectric’s XP4 is the year’s best new folding electric bike under $1,000
With more power and a clever, feature-packed, folding design, it's the best two-wheeler at this price point.
Two men riding Lectric XP4 folding electric bikes in a neighborhood.

Lectric is among the most popular electric bike brands in the country, with more than 400,000 riders, and it's indeed one of my personal favorites. Dollar for dollar, there's arguably no better value model than its XP series of eBikes. This month, Lectric debuted the long-awaited XP4, the next iteration of the entry-level two-wheeler that improves upon its predecessor in every way.
Get the details on the XP4, Lectric's newest entry-level folding electric bike

Like the previous generation XP3, the XP4 boasts a solid list of essential features — more than any bike I'm aware of in the sub-$1,000 price range. In its "standard" configuration, that means a 500W motor (with a 1,092-watt peak) and a 10.4Ah battery. The combined setup makes for a top speed of 28 miles per hour and a range of up to 50 miles. With the available upgraded battery, the XP4 maxes out with 50% more power and 68% more range. Either configuration is available as a traditional step-over or a step-thru model. The latter is designed with a lower center frame height, making it easier for shorter riders to mount and dismount.

These Xero Shoes saved space in my travel bag—and strengthened my feet
Three pairs of Xero Shoes best suited for travelers
A man wearing Xero shoes while standing on a mossy rock

Zero-drop minimalist footwear was once considered a niche specialty, but has gained popularity among enthusiasts of foot health and natural movement. And I'm one of their biggest fans -- as a full-time traveler, their packability and ability to increase foot strength is a win-win on the road. I've crafted a Xero Shoes review guide based on three pairs I've traveled with, so you can decide if any are worthy of your suitcase.

Why Xero Shoes? They've been in business for over 15 years, have engineered more than 50 unique pairs of shoes, and offer a whopping 5,000-mile sole warranty. In short, they've been in the barefoot game for a while, and balance reliable quality with innovation nicely.
