I really like the Vice neon lime better than yellow for visibility.

I have noticed that the yellow balls have gained more players on the Senior Tour.

I read somewhere that when Freddie was testing new balls, the yellow version was at his optimal spin, so he chose it.

the white and yellow Srixon Z Star balls


I found a yellow and blue divide Srixon one time. Teed it up on the next hole and proceeded to launch an over cooked draw into the trees. Didn’t even bother going to look for it, but it was really quite beautiful going through the air.

I guess I'm an outlier but I find yellow balls more difficult to track in the air.


It's all about the same to me and my 50+ year old eyes.

I did find a blue ball in a random box of balls recently that was this color:



I hit it off the tee once just for the hell of it. I can't imagine who thought this was a good idea .

I barely could see it in filght and I almost stepped on it when I went looking for it just off the fairway
In low-cut grass.

Cause you’re not looking at it with your good eye. We need to get you an eye patch

I found a yellow/orange combo that I use in my wedge shag bag. It is really fun to hit wedge shots with.

I also found a solid black ball one time on the golf course. Easy to imagine why it was lost…

Back in the 1990s, Ping came out with these odd half and half colored balls. Growing up a Saints fan, I jumped at a box of half black and gold balls.

Think I hit each ball once and lost em all.

have never understood this. Like these guys need to track their own balls.

God forbid people watch their own ball fly. It’s most of the fun of the game watching your own ball fly and land
