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.

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

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
