Does that mean they are are women's balls? I have a few of the clear pink balls from Pinnacle and need to know if I can use them when playing with more people than just me.

Back in the day men played with pink balls, yellow balls, orange balls, lime green balls. I haven't seen any pink balls that aren't specifically made for women and their slower swing speeds for quite a while. My Mom plays with pink balls, easy to see when the light is funny.

Last year, Bridgestone has some RX330 that are pink and for men. Here is an ebay link . Probably good for match play where you can let your opponent know they lost a hole to some playing a ladies ball to help put them on tilt.

I used them all the time in the 80's. Lots of guys did. I liked the orange balls too.

I played a round with a pink ball as a joke with friends. Probably wouldn't hesitate to play a pink ball if it was made for my (lousy) game.

I don't have bad eyes but I do have trouble seeing the ball playing in the evenings when the light gets that odd dusk glow. I play the Srixon yellow balls but even those can be tough to see after 6PM.

If Bridgestone E5's came in pink I would use them for sure. It just makes them that easier to see.

Wasting time waiting for a flight I learned the following:

The old formula Rit works better on Golf Balls then the new.

There are other brands then Rit.

Surlyn and Urethane take dye differently then nylon balls.

To sum it up - try a single ball first before tossing $45 in the dye pot.

This link leads to more information on dyes then the Rit site.

A few years back my little brother (bigger in size and ugly as a caveman lol) showed up with a dozen pink breast cancer awareness balls to a little par 3 course. Now the course is very small, 18 holes laid out in about the area of 9 holes. Balls always cross into your fairway and I've almost been hit quite a few times. So I ask my brother why in the hell did he bring pink golf balls to play with. He quickly replied "because if one gets away from me and hits somebody, they'll know it couldn't have been me using pink balls". I thought that was excellent strategy. Use whatever works man, who cares. You paid to play. When they start paying you to play, then they can set the rules as far as I'm concerned. I have a 5w with a ladies flex shaft and I can't do anything but hit that joker straight. I catch a lot of flak from my buddies for using it when I do bring it to the course. But they get the standard reply, "wanna touch it?".

Ill stick to white. I tried the B330's in Yellow. Liked how the ball felt, hated looking at it. Traded 3 sleeves with a buddy for 3 sleeves of Penta TP's.. Just could not get used to a non white ball. And I dont find them any easier to find in the fairway. Its not like white doesn't show up well in green. If your course is well groomed, there should be no problem finding the ball. And if your in the rough or the woods, well then its your fault, not the courses. :p

See you did the leg work for me ;) I wanted to do the bright orange color but again Wally world didn't carry it.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
