After this Sundays chilly play I need a lower compression ball that is some other color than white or yellow due to leaves on the ground. Orange would be excellent.

I read on another thread that Srixon is going to have orange next year but I would like to find some now.

Any leads would be appreciated

Oops, I meant Bridgestone. I was looking at Srixons when I typed this.

I did consider these and will probaby go with some if I can't any flourescent orange ones. I would half way consider pink if it meant not losing a golf ball in the fairway.

Wilson makes (made?) the 50/50 ball which was the lowest compression one I can think of but don't know if it came in colors...

How about chrome balls?

I don't want anything too soft. 70 compression would be max low amount I would want to go.

Am I missing something here? Is the OP asking for an orange colored ball for fall golf in NH? Maybe the fall colors are different in NH than in MN but I would think it would be nearly impossible to find a small orange sphere amoungst the leaves? White is the only contrasting color I can think of.

Not a ton of maples around the courses I play. Yellow and light brown leaves mostly. Light enough to make it hard to see a white ball amoungst them.

I believe Bridgestone is going to offer orange balls next year. I haven't heard anything about Srixon.

looking at their website, I think they are only offering the e6 in colour, which is one of their easiest to compress balls..

It's a shame, because the e7 would probably be exactly what was needed!

I read a review for Chromox balls on another site and they were not that impressed with playability of the balls, think it was on THP forum.

If desperate you can dye any ball with any color of Rit Dye, go to Rit website and look under odds and ends and they give directions.

How about the colored Noodle ICE balls? They're a pretty low compression ball with some wild colors like raspberry, tangerine etc. I've used the Noodle Long and Soft on cold mornings and they work pretty good.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
