Has anybody tried these Chromax high visibility balls? I was looking at them online. They look cool. They look like they may be easy to see/find. Look more like Christmas ornaments then golf balls to me. They seem to be a bit pricey. I don't know if your just paying for the look, or if they have any playability to them.

Chromax wants you to never lose track of your ball. Each of its models -- M1x, Distance and Optimum Visibility (O.V.) -- is bright and beautiful for ultimate viewability.

Just how does Chromax make such gaudy, glowing balls?

Each model has a fluorescent layer underneath a translucent Surlyn coating, creating a reflective effect. The M1x, the company's first high-visibility entry, is a two-piece, 75 compression ball with a high-energy molded core and a 432-dimple pattern.

They look neat. My son would love them.

If the ball is actually reflective I wonder if it will glare into your eyes when the sun is in the right spot. I think I'll stick with my yellow callaway supersofts for now.

Not much light to reflect under 10 feet of water or in deep brush.

But you can track it as it flies towards the woods or the water! ;-)

Very true!

I've found a Chromax ball or two on the course (I guess they can be lost, haha!) They look more like disco balls than golf balls in the sunlight. But definitely very cool looking. Make the glittery Callaway Solaire balls look drab and conservative by comparison. I could definitely see them appealing to the younger golfer.
