The more I look around, the more surprised I am at how NOT visible some manufacturers colors are.  Earlier this fall I almost tripped over a pink Crystal Precept that someone else had lost in the middle of a fairway.  It blended right in with the dirt.  Yesterday in a store I saw a box of yellow E6, but they looked almost like a pale green.  I think I could find any of the balls on the left as easily or more easily than a white ball, but the ones on the right look like they were designed with something other than visibility in mind.  Crystal balls in particular look difficult to play with.

I've noticed I can see Yellow balls better, but they aren't mine. As mentioned I can other people's when I can't find mine. But I have 2 experiences that put me off colored balls. When orange balls were hot back in the 80's I jumped on them and tee'd it up with one while playing Bethpage Green in mid Oct. sometime. Hit a beauty off the tee, right down the middle and I watched it in admiration. Following the flight until it got back down to tree top level... never saw it again. It's Autumn, ding-dong! every frikkin leaf on the course is ORANGE! Then I received a dozen customized half-white/half green balls. they were great when you hit them- they strobed as they flew and you could really follow the flight. That is, until they stopped rolling on the ground and they would be "green side up". Another not so great idea in golf history...

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
