Srixon created a winner by offering the Srixon Z Star and Z Star X in the optic yellow color.  They now have an orange ball although I don't know if it's available in the U.S. yet.

I expect other companies will also jump on the colored ball bandwagon.  I play the Srixon Z Star and will test the Bridgestone B330-RX just due to my swing speed but I can definately see the optic yellow balls better than a standard white ball.

Loved the Zstars...both regular and x...i'm lookin to try the new nike's mentioned in the OP's link...my pops plays the RX, just sent an email to him to let him know the yellow range balls now come in RX sleeves lol...hard to believe other companies won't release other premium/better quality balls in yellow as well.

I use the Bridgestone E-6 Yellow balls.. but its a toss up when the greens are dry. Dry greens means I'm switching to my RX or RXS balls.

In all honesty, I lose yellow balls much like I lose white balls. I have a tendency to lose balls primarily in cacti, lakes, and thorned bushes. Oh and in areas of forest with questionable noises coming from within. Haha.

I think the main point is that there is a company that is listening to what people want. Now Bridgestone, if you could make a ball that goes where I want it to, regardless of my swing, that would be super!

Sweet! I have some of the orange e6's. I think different colored golf balls are a nice break from the norm !!

Wanted to pass this along.  If you like the e6 yellow/orange edition.  They are on clearance at Golf Galaxy for $21.99

My local shop even has them for $19.99

I went to Target today and they are still $26.99

They say limited edition on the box so I guess Bridgestone meant it because they came out around November I believe.

I bought a dozen e6's in orange as my emergency/winter ball. I might have to pick up another dozen if they aren't making them anymore.

Compared Srixon Z Star yellow with B330 RX yellow.
Z Star marginally longer, B330 softer and less durable - great around the greens though. I still prefer Srixon but there is a very little difference. $$$ will decide.

By the way e6 yellow is a good all-rounder.

I have used the Bridgestone B330RX  white and yellow balls and the Srixon Z-star white and yellow.  For me, the Z-star outperforms the B330RX in spin on approach shots and durability, and pretty significantly.  I like the feel of the Z-star around the greens better,and the spin around the greens.   The B330RX might be a little longer off the tee and off the irons.  My swing speed is pretty close to 90 mph, give or take 1 or 2 mph.   I wish I knew what the difference in distance off the tee is between the two golf balls.   As far as I am concerned, if the B330RX isn't at least close to 10 yards off the tee I would give up the distance for everything else the Zstar has to offer.

Driver: Taylor Made  Rocketballz Stage 2

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
