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

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
