Srixon's coloured balls

[Ken_A]

It's getting to that time of the year where the white ball seems to be too hard to find in the mud and for a month or so I normally change to a yellow ball.

However, this year I was thinking of using some of the Srixon AD333's in orange - anyone used them before - are they the same as a standard AD333? (I persume only a cosmetic change) Did you find them off putting - I know I don't enjoy putting with a yellow ball for some reason - any views??

And where did you get them from?

I bought some orange ad333s a couple of week back, and in my view they are no where near as responsive as the white ball.

I find orange balls completely impossible to see against a green back ground. Don't know why, you would think they would stand out, but they don't.

Most fellas stuggle to See red against a green back ground (thats why red camo was used in forest warfare, we have a much higher chance of not carrying the right gene or something). Orange and red arent too far apart in the colour spectrum.

I might use the yellow balls during the lower light rounds in the winter, its so easy to loose a well struck drive in the clouds.

I have used both the green z-star and the orange AD333, thought the z-star performed as well as usual,the orange ball did feel a bit more firm than usual.

Darthfader - LOL great username lol - and nice tag

Don't want to buy z-stars - no need on p155y wet greens and the temps- last years pinacles will do for them - but thanks for the input folks, think I will do without the orange balls

Here's a story.

Fragger used Orange AD333's
His game was all over the place.
He's now using a white Callaway HX Diablo
He's playing respectably.

Orange balls mess with your game.

While that sounds daft - I don't play as well when I use a yellow ball - don't know why but I dont, and thats why I was thinking of the orange ones :-/

The orange balls are easier to see on frosty days but for the rest of the winter I'd stick to white or yellow.

have just finished a box of bridgestone e6 orange balls. I find them better than ad333s, but then ball choice is very much a personal preference. They're a similar type of price.

Not much good for this time of year - autumn leaves tend to be a bit ... well orange. Also hard to pick out against certain shades of green (red/green colour blindness is particularly common). I use them when the dandelions and other spring flowers make spotting a yellow ball in the rough pretty much impossible.

I've just opened a box of optic yellow e6s for the winter.

I don't find coloured balls mess with the game, and I'm convinced that in a lush bit of semi they are a lot easier to spot than white. Thus saving the odd shot here and there. There's some dodgy science somewhere on the web which suggests the the receptors in the eye are particularly attuned to yellow (nature's danger signal) which helps pick it out....

Always use to play Titleist orange or yellow balls back in the 80's when they seemed to produce coloured balls in most of their range and not the budget end. I've not issue with playing a coloured ball and if it stands out better then it'll help my dodgy eyes
