I found a really cool looking pink Nike 2-3 weeks ago at my local par3 course.  It's a dark fuscia type pink with a clear coat of some kind over it.  I'm sure it's a ladies ball but I've been using it - I've played 3 rounds at the par 3 course with it so far.  It holds up really well to scuffs - still looks brand new.  I really like it and am considering buying some more of them.

So... does anyone have any methods for dying urethane balls? I would love me some pink E5s

i bought some of the pink bridgestone balls made for higher swing speeds.

i would recommend staying away from this ball unless you are a really straight hitter. i found this ball to be EXCEPTIONALLY difficult to see flying through the air. i, too, thought it would be super easy to spot in the fairway but as soon as the ball gets about 50 yds away and moving, i completely lost it. on a par 4 i tried to hit a stinger...but i blocked it into a tree about 100 yds away. i stared at the tree as my ball hit it and i was convinced my ball stayed in the tree. after a bit of searching, my playing partner found it. i was 225 yds to the green in the rough. i hit a 4iron and it drew enough that i was sure it was on the green. drove up to the 150 marker to my partners ball and i searched the green and could not find the ball! as we drove up to the green i saw it sitting about 10 feet from the flag.

on the next hole i had 150yds in from the fairway and hit a pretty nice shot...what i thought was right at the pin. as soon as the ball got elevated i completely lost site of it. i was frantically looking everywhere in the sky to try and get the line but was only lucky enough to see it hit the back of the green....a solid 30 yds away.

really like the ball, thought i would love the color, but i think i am going to have to relegate it to practice green duty. perhaps it will just take a little training to get used to the color on the course, but i found it to be a liability and just "one more thing" i had to think about

    • 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…
    • 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.
