TaylorMade TP5 Pi X

[ChetlovesMer]

Okay do lines colors and patterns constitute technological advances in the golf ball?
Taylormade has supposedly spent 3 years developing this. Including at least 18 months just working on the machine to print the pattern on the ball. 

Personally, I like the idea. Not sure it should have taken 3 years... 

I currently play Volvik Golf Balls because I can see them. As I am now pert near 50, the visuals definitely help me follow the ball in the sky.

I think these designs would be detracting on the green at least.  I mostly play TP5s, but have thought about switching to Volvik for the same reasons you mentioned.

What "visuals"? The colors? Because of course any pattern is spinning so fast you're not gonna see any pattern at all.

Yeah, the colors.

Volvik has at least 10 colors that I find very easy to see in the sky, and like 3 of them I find easy to see on the ground.

That would be perfect camouflage when the leaves fall in autumn.
