played them and didnt like them
they seemed to be much shorter than a Pro V or similar ball
but i really wanted to play a Srixon ball

tried the Trispeed and they are amazing - i hope they make them in yellow next year, as i really liked the color of the TY's

I play the Tour Yellow. They have a soft feel and spin pretty well. Yes, you can see them very well in the thick rought and on a sunny day.

I just got some for my birthday...I have not played them yet, but I trew them in tall grass at dusk, and I could see them much more than regular ones.....

I'm really looking forward to playing these this weekend!
It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

My cousin, who is a golf pro and golf shop owner plays with them and seems to like them. I've yet to do so, but am planning on doing so this year. I like the yellow. Easier to find in the occasional scottish cut rough when I get to gutsy and try to cut corners. I've always been a fan of Srixon and Cleveland!

I've been playing the Srixon Tour Yellow Z Star and Z Star X since late last summer.  I really like the way they feel off the putter face and they spin awesome around the green. Plus, I just got a dozen Z Star Tour Yellow with a free Srixon hat at the local Edwin Watts shop. Awesome!

I have to say, I started using them late last year and I honestly don't think I will be going back to a white ball. I have been VERY happy with them. I find them easier to track off the club face, they feel soft on wedge shots, they spin well, and I just like the look of them. Great ball!

It is my favorite ball. I got 6 dozen of them recently as they were on sale. Two dozen for $59 at The Golf Warehouse site, and many other places. Incredible golf ball.

I think that color balls are a nice break from the norm. I got some of the orange e6's. Pretty sure color balls should perform the same as the whites.

Just pulled the trigger on a dozen of these.

Opened the packet....

Wow!

They are pearlescent yellow/green and look completely different to what I imagined (a rock)

They feel pretty soft as well

Any good?

Very good! Excellent performer and prepare to be amazed at how well they hold up in use. There's something about the yellow finish that just doesn't scuff (or at least just doesn't show scuffs) like the white ones.

Excellent

Are they pretty easy to see as well?

I am fed up with white balls going "grey"

If you can't find these, then you hit them off the planet. As you said, it's an entirely unnatural shade.

I got some and have played them and loved the feel. I need to do an apples to apples comparison with the Taylor Made TP Black LDP I have been playing, but, at first 'glance', I prefer the Srixon ball. Cover durability was my only issue. It's the least durable of the tour-level balls that I've played.

    • A little refresher. here is an article about Bryson at the 2021 Ryder Cup. He was the "entertainer" then. "Wherever he went the crowd welcomed him like a Packer walking into an Oshkosh bar, and DeChambeau responded with nods and thumbs-up and cap-tips and shouts of “Let’s go!” On the sixth, when the crowd began to boo when he grabbed his 3-wood, Bryson loudly proclaimed, “Guys, I’m still going for the green, calm down,” which dialed the cheers back to 10. Spectacle recognizes spectacle, after all. On this afternoon, one would have had a hell of a time explaining to an outsider that he was the most divisive guy in golf."   Ryder Cup 2021: How Bryson DeChambeau won the week, and found redemption, after summer from hell | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest No American had more questions entering the Ryder Cup than DeChambeau. By Sunday evening, he answered them all and looked, at long last, like he was enjoying golf again.  
    • So I have been hitting my driver a lot better this year. Massive slice is gone (unless I try and kill the ball, which I avoid doing now), and a bad drive is now more of a big fade. However my launch angle is pretty low. I went to a range with TopTracer today, and when I was using my driver I was probably averaging about 5 or 6 degrees launch angle. Unfortunately the only stat I can see on the app is that for the long drive game I averaged 251 yards, so I don't have any other numbers.    What are some of the likely causes of having such a low launch angle? I am thinking I am either hitting down on the ball, or the ball is too far forward in my stance and I am catching it a little thin (while I don't feel like I hit consistently thin, a thin miss is definitely more common than a pop-up miss.    I play the ball off my front foot big toe. Is that not a good spot? Could I be standing too close to the ball? It isn't uncommon for me to hit one a little bit with the heel, but I basically never feel I hit one of the toe. 
    • Conjecture.  This sounds like you’re just making up the excuse to not like him even more.
    • Oh yes I agree. I’m not saying he did his media stuff for that reason, I’m just speculating that maybe he hopes that happens. BD obviously loves competition and fans, which he’s really not getting with LIV.
    • I am not sure that is what he is driving with his YouTube channel. I think he would be doing exactly the same thing is now if he never left for LIV.
