No difference between the performance of yellow or white.

I play Pinnacle Golds. both colors.

In late winter/early spring the sun sets low in the sky and you often get a lot of UV haze.  The yellow ball is easier to pickup, especially off the tee.  With most area fairways utilizing bermuda, they're browned out.  The yellow ball just pops out and is easier to find.

As spring comes around and the courses start greening up, I switch to white.

Then summer, lots of haze in the sky and I get the yellows out again, easier to track in flight.  Fairways are often browning, again, makes finding the ball easier.

Fall, back to white.  As the leaves fall, a yellow ball can actually be very difficult to find if there are leaves on the course.

So are they yellow, white, or gold...?

    • 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.
