If I found one on the course, I would play with it, just like any other ball I found.

This may be just me. But I think there is something to it!

Not a fan of the orange black colour way personally, but they may offer other colours later. Apart from looking like a TM Truvis, and helping with spotting the ball, the main point seems to be that if you line it up with the logo and putt, you will effectively see two parallel lines as the ball rolls. Not quite like the new Callaway ball with the three lines in place before you hit the ball, but an aid to see whether you are hitting straight putts. If I find one, will give it a go, but not going out of my way to buy them, the white balls I currently use already have an aim guide.

I started using DX2 Soft in white 18 months or so ago, ball suits me. Tried a a few of the colours and now use either the orange or green in winter. I made the mistake of buying 2 dozen blue, impossible to see in the air and on the ground. I found a red DX2 once and used it for a few holes and found it very easy to see, but I'm not sure I'd ever buy any.

If the red Dx2 is easy to see......how did someone lose it
stay out of the semi rough then!

Big fan of the orange DX2/Optix ball as I find the matt orange colour so easy to pick up in flight and in the rough. Like a few others, I tried the blue ones and gave up after 2 holes as I nearly lost the ball on the fairway.

Were it that simple. Have you seen my golf game?
no as I am normally in the long rough or the trees!

I play yellow AVX in winter but white Prov1x in summer.
Did try a Truvis white and red but it looked bigger and put me off.

I still have two sleeves of the yellow Optix sat at home never to be used. The matte finish was too dull, they just blended in nicely with the dry grass in summer. Anything in the rough was lost. I was playing a pairs match with them once and my playing partner actually ordered me to stop using them after the second time I lost the ball only a couple of yards off the fairway.

Thats the idea of them I understand, make them appear larger and therefore easier to hit.

I like the look of Truvis balls but absolutely detest the feel and performance of the Chrome Soft.
I really like the tp5 so I'd happily use this new creation. TP5 is the ball I use as fallback if I don't have any Snell in the bag/on order.

I had a Pro V1x truvis a long time ago (had a pale blue pattern). The ball didn't look bigger to me, and it didn't help me hit it, because we hit a static ball in golf.
But it was great around the greens, because you could see the spin and how the green contours affected the roll much more clearly. By improving my understanding of how the ball reacted on the greens, I felt it had the potential to improve my green reading skills, especially when chipping.
I only had one ball, so the experiment was short lived, and I'm not really a fan of Callaway balls. But I'd use a TP5, so hopefully I'll find some this year!

Have you tried the Green?
I can pick up a dozen for £12 in Green or Red and really tempted to try a new colour.

I don't really get the concept of using a green ball to play golf on green grass. Surely that's the worst colour??

I was thinking that but looking at them its a bright neon green, but yeah green on green seems a bit too close. Might try the red as they are cheaper.

No wonder with all the manufacturing issues with them. I wouldn't go near them.
Just bought some Bridgestone Tour RX in yellow to try out. Looking at the MyGolfSpy ball test last year they seem very similar to the AVX which I was wanting to try out.

I once for a laugh used the Volvik Black ball which was so annoying but in the air you could see it no bother - just when it landed.
I can see the use for different colours and I am a fan of the Tru Vis. As for the white ball dying I don't see that happening anytime soon.
