What about Noodle Ice Crystal? I don't think I have ever hit a ball with a cover. Hitting yellow balls isn't all that bad as I recall...been awhile.

I love the idea of dying a ball yellow, however i am suprised that the coloring didn't mark up the face of your clubs... that wouldn't be cool... I played in some serious fog lately and had a sleve of Z-Star (tour yellow's) I was the only person who didn't lose a ball because if you get to within 50 feet of that thing, you can see it. My playing partners were jealous!

There's a guy over here, Katsumasa Miyamoto who recently played the WGC-Bridgestone and nearly broke the course record with a 62 in the third round, and was in contention to win, who's always used an ORANGE ball! There's a Japan Challenge Tour player who's pioneering pink balls too, which look a bit silly haha.

Probably the best ball I've ever used is the Kasco Kira in Yellow; http://www.tourspecgolf.com/Kasco-Ki...-Distance-Ball - not only doe sit look awesome and easy to find & see, but it's one of the best all-round balls I've ever played.

I sure would of loved a yellow ball yesterday. The first hole runs along the driving range and my luck i sliced off the drive and as i get down to find my ball its mixed in with a couple hundred other balls.

Okay, I admit it. I like yellow balls. I can follow them in the air easier, I see them land easier and can find them in the rough easier. I also have a minor stroke when my Pro V1 or Z Star waves goodbye to me as it either sinks to a watery grave or decides to go live a life of seclusion in the woods. So I picked-up a box of Pinnacle Precision's in optic yellow.

I wanted to try the NIKE BOB balls.

Didn't want to start a new post so hopefully this addition doesn't get overlooked..

Does anyone else see a reduction in spin with yellow balls? I've used the yellow E-6 and B330-RX and while the RX does grab a bit more, I still find them rolling out too much.

Is this a problem with the Srixon yellow balls or can you get more spin on those?

Thanks in advance.

Glad to see more manufacturers coming out with their balls in high-vis yellow.  If I hadn't just picked up 100 barely used Callaways in white a while back, I'd be looking hard at a yellow ball.  I HATE losing balls that should be findable.

Now try playing an orange ball in the snow!

The Wilson nuClear orange is my ball in the fall - bright orange is the only color I can find in the leaves ...

I finally got a chance to try the Srixon Z-Star X in tour yellow today, and I think Im in love!!! That ball was fantastic for me! I can tell you from personal experience that it spins more than a Bridgestone B330RX. I do not think the spin has anything to do with the color, but more to do with the ball itself. When I think spin I dont think E6 or B330RX. Both those balls are produced for less spin… Which is specifically why I played the B330RX for a while.

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

    • Day 8: 3/30/25 After some poor putting yesterday I worked on some distance control drills today along with putting through 50 mm gates.
    • So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
