Srixon created a winner by offering the Srixon Z Star and Z Star X in the optic yellow color.  They now have an orange ball although I don't know if it's available in the U.S. yet.

I expect other companies will also jump on the colored ball bandwagon.  I play the Srixon Z Star and will test the Bridgestone B330-RX just due to my swing speed but I can definately see the optic yellow balls better than a standard white ball.

Loved the Zstars...both regular and x...i'm lookin to try the new nike's mentioned in the OP's link...my pops plays the RX, just sent an email to him to let him know the yellow range balls now come in RX sleeves lol...hard to believe other companies won't release other premium/better quality balls in yellow as well.

I use the Bridgestone E-6 Yellow balls.. but its a toss up when the greens are dry. Dry greens means I'm switching to my RX or RXS balls.

In all honesty, I lose yellow balls much like I lose white balls. I have a tendency to lose balls primarily in cacti, lakes, and thorned bushes. Oh and in areas of forest with questionable noises coming from within. Haha.

I think the main point is that there is a company that is listening to what people want. Now Bridgestone, if you could make a ball that goes where I want it to, regardless of my swing, that would be super!

Wanted to pass this along.  If you like the e6 yellow/orange edition.  They are on clearance at Golf Galaxy for $21.99

My local shop even has them for $19.99

I went to Target today and they are still $26.99

They say limited edition on the box so I guess Bridgestone meant it because they came out around November I believe.

I bought a dozen e6's in orange as my emergency/winter ball. I might have to pick up another dozen if they aren't making them anymore.

Compared Srixon Z Star yellow with B330 RX yellow.
Z Star marginally longer, B330 softer and less durable - great around the greens though. I still prefer Srixon but there is a very little difference. $$$ will decide.

By the way e6 yellow is a good all-rounder.

I have used the Bridgestone B330RX  white and yellow balls and the Srixon Z-star white and yellow.  For me, the Z-star outperforms the B330RX in spin on approach shots and durability, and pretty significantly.  I like the feel of the Z-star around the greens better,and the spin around the greens.   The B330RX might be a little longer off the tee and off the irons.  My swing speed is pretty close to 90 mph, give or take 1 or 2 mph.   I wish I knew what the difference in distance off the tee is between the two golf balls.   As far as I am concerned, if the B330RX isn't at least close to 10 yards off the tee I would give up the distance for everything else the Zstar has to offer.

Driver: Taylor Made  Rocketballz Stage 2

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
