I have to agree. I bought a dozen as a joke to mess with one of my playing partners, who had commented about how goofy a yellow ball is...

Now, it's not a joke anymore. I love the ball, and will continue to use it.

what's so bad about yellow golf balls?
yellow ultra's are lucky for me, I got my first eagle with one.

they're easy to see in the rough, especially when the daisy's come out.

Until you forget you are playing a yellow ball because you have been playing white balls forever!

I found and used a yellow z-star and drove by it twice looking for a white ball.

I don't think so....but the Z-Stars are only $10 more....and with a 14 HC, that should not be too hard too swallow.

I played them the other day, and they are amazing!!!! Super easy to see coming out of the sky, in any condition, and extreamly easy to spot in the rough, not to mention that the play like tour balls....very versatile around the greens, and nice with the long sticks.. I need to diminish my stash of balls....recently reached 80 with a mix of Mojo's, Gamer and Gamer V2, Titliest Pro V1 and ProV1x, NXT Tour, Srixon Tri Speed and AD333. I also have a couple of pinnacle (gift from Shula's Senator course) and Ping two tone (white and pink) that are in the bag, but never get played.
It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

I played the Z-Star Tour Yellow for the first time yesterday. It goes just as far as a white ball, spins just like a white ball, but unlike a white ball I can see it all the time. It's my new ball.

The yellow ball really does stand out better and you are less likely to hit someone elses (until the yellow ball really catches on). Unfortunately not all manufacturers offer them.

I am a permenant user of the Z-Star Tour Yellow! The only trouble I have with them is finding them in the store. according to my golf Galaxy, they fly off the shelf less than 1 hour after puting them out! Now if i am in a store and they have them, i pick up a box! I played a course with some nasty rough really early in the morning and even with the sun shining off the wet grass in my eyes, no trouble finding my ball... spent my time looking for my playing partners ball!

I could ask why anyone would live in New Jersey? The taxes and the politicians are unbearable.

Do you find them more relaxing at address? It seems to me that, back in February, Srixon was trying to use that as another selling point.

My best memory of the ball, though, is Jim Furyk's ace with it a few months back.

-- Michael | My swing! 

"You think you're Jim Furyk. That's why your phone is never charged." - message from my mother

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I played my best round in three months with it on Sunday, which just happened to be the Club Championship final. I made four birdies and was very relaxed. They also appear to stay cleaner then white balls. Now I have to see if I can do some swapping with friends or trading in to the pro shop the new Pro V-1's and white Z-Stars I have since I am officially hooked on the Tour Yellow.

Just started playing with the Z-star and I'm loving them. They are tough and fly very far. I may just be hooked on this new ball.

In my bag:

One for slicing
One for hooking
One for knocking it in the cup

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
