White or yellow golf balls

Good to use in the winter

I've been know to use yellow Srixon Z stars and they are easier to follow in flight but once they are on the ground they're no easier or harder to find in the rough

I use the Yellow NXT Tour S.

Feels just a tad harder than the white one, which feels a bit soft off the putter.

Seems easier to find, but still doesn't float!

Yellow ZStar felt quite different to the White, but also slightly better - softer than the White in this case!

Tough to find pickups though! I get mine from a local lake-ball guy, so great value - less than £1/ball!

Use white ones as a rule, use yellow ones as a provisional so no mistakes.(so use yellow a lot).

ive a mate that uses a yellow ball and i think its harder to find in the rough tbh, easier to follow in the sky in murky conditions though.

This.

But have no idea why a yellow one is easier to spot in the gloom - especially after its gone, say, 100 yards through the air?

No idea why a yellow one feels harder than a white to some people, as the only difference is the colouring they use for the cover. Rather than using the white dye they use a yellow variant, is that really going to change the performance of the ball ? Must surely be psychological ?!?

Once the daisy's are up in the semi rough or when there's a heavy dew or frost yellow balls are much easier to see. I also find them much easier to track through the air especially when the light is just going.

In good conditions I usually use white however I'm more than happy to use yellow

I've got some pink Dunlop DDH. Not joking.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I have poor eyes and do like the ease of following them in murky conditions but really struggle with looking in the rough. I've certainly never found them harder than white counter parts. I actually like them on the greens too and find I do putt well with yellow models. I'm not sure I'd ever make the switch fully though

No easier to find in the rough but good to use in the winter on frosty or white fairways, easier to see in the sky also.

I would say the colour of the rough itself makes it earlier/harder to view a yellow ball. If the grass is green and lush compared to burnt out the difference between yellow and white can be quite startling.
