Yellow balls

[Deleted Member 1156]

Do you?

Would you?

If not, why not?


They seem to be becoming more popular on the various tours.

Winter, yes. Summer, no. Like the traditional crisp white ball.

i play with grey ones

 

[JustOne]

I actually find them harder to see/find (even in the middle of the fairway). Same with orange ones.

This, although I do want 20-30 yellow balls of the same brand/model for our short game area

Only time a yellow is in play would be on a early morning tee before the first has lifted,swapped at the earliest chance

Yellow ones are dreadful in the autumn when the leaves are coming down

I got a great deal 18 months ago on orange balls, at a time where I was leaking shots all over the place. Bought around 10 packs, thinking I was being smart. Couldn't see the things even when, on the rare occasion, I hit the fairway. Bad mistake.

Plus, teeing up an orange ball on a pink tee got some funny looks.

Orange appear to be useless for my eyes

ZStar in yellow are great though. I have a nice stock to work through and don't mind playing them anytime of the year.

Not surprised!

Those horrendous pink plastic tees are just wrong, wrong, wrong!!

Orange balls are nearly as bad although, strangely, I can live with yellow.

I play pinnicle gold yellow balls, mainly because a lot of people I play with all play with white balls so I use yellow to be different.

 

[palindromicbob]

I do although stock is running low. Find it easier to see and reduces the risk of playing a wrong ball. Is the sun is bright I'll switch to a white though.

I keep a couple in the bag and use them when playing twilight golf and it starts getting murky or if i need to play a provisional.

 

[Tongo]

I have also played with an orange ball and a pink ball on occasion!

 

[fundy]

Yep, they are a must at our course at certain points of the year, we have some sliver birches which shed white ball hiding leaves. Bought a bulk of yellow Zstars a while ago and doesnt bother me if theyre white or yellow when i play

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I'll happily use yellow golf balls at any time and the Z Star is my favourite.

 

[Mastercracker]

I find em easier to see in the air if its cloudy but harder to find them on the ground. Not bothered about any 'snobbery' issues with them though.

 

[CMAC]

Golf balls should only be pristine white.............imo

 

[Jabba]

DX2 in yellow for me. I find them easier to see, plus very easy to distinguish my ball from my PPs.

 

[Pin-seeker]

I found a yellow e6,played it & shot 40 points.
Thought I was onto something until I shot 27 the week after with the same ball :angry:

 

[Badger]

I have used yellow Bridgestone E6's for about 18 months now, thought initially I found them easier to see but no longer convinced any difference.

Think once I've used current stock (which won't take long the way they seem attracted to the lakes at my course) i'll go back to white
