You can use whatever color ball you want.  Who cares what other people think?

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

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
