Do they actually make any good colored golf balls. I get bored of white and would like to play with like a red ball or something. Most of the colors I see are girly colors or not a very good ball.

I know it's kind of a weird question but I have always wanted a red ball :)

I play Callaway Big Berthas 90% of the time right now so I would want something with that quality or better.

Check out Noodle Ice balls. They are technically white but they have a transparent cover and it gives them a "different" look to them. They'll definitely make your playing partners kind of snicker before they see that well, they actually work. If that's what you're going for. They also play pretty well and are pretty long lasting.

Yeah the Noodle Ice balls intrigue me. I think the look pretty sweet, but I have wondered about their quality and durability. Perhaps I'll give them a go after I run out of D2s.

I've seen the Noodles and just the yellow balls people use in winter. I think the Noodle's look awesome but I've never played with them and I wondered, are they good balls?

TJK, that bug thing is tripping me out... I hit my screen like 5 times! Lol...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

The noodles are pretty good - especially when it's windy.
Does anyone know if they still make the Ping balls? - Now they had a nice colour

here is a link to a black ball

Find one of these on the edge of a pond at my course. I thought it was a gimmick but they actually sell these. I have hit it a couple of times on par 3's because I didn't want to lose it and it felt pretty good. It might be hard to find in the rough though

Volvik Crystal's ....I played the Orange earlier ths year, they have a good feel, but I wish they made an 80 or 90 compression.

The Noodle Ice is actually a really good ball. It is soft and very long. It is also very easy to follow in flight. One interesting thing I have found is that if you are wearing sunglasses, they are harder to see on the ground. I bought a dozen last year as a joke and played them at our Father's Day outing. It was pretty funny seeing the looks on peoples faces when we won the whole thing with me using a pink ball.

As long as you don't mind a little ribbing, I say go for it.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I really want a red ball. I don't know why, it's just my favorite color. Maybe I will try the Noodle Ice balls and see how they play.

I definitely don't mind the ribbing. I am a jokester anyway and am always trying to make people laugh even if it's at me :)

Sorry about the bug fellas, but I have to have it in my signature on all the forums I talk on. It usually gets quite a few people.

If anyone finds some good quality red balls, let me know.

Nike One Blacks actually used to be black... and Tiger even played them. That was awhile ago and I don't know if they still make them.


They look so cool.

I don't think Tiger ever played a ONE Black. He's always used a prototype Platinum not available to anyone else, and I don't recall him ever hitting a ball that wasn't white in competition.

They do look cool.

I believe that Nike had that Black ball on tour for one tournament, and Tiger never used it. Last I heard from one of my tour connects was that Tiger was trying out a Bridgestone proto, even though it was badged as Nike. You will find that alot of players on tour play things that arent as they seem, like the shafts in half of the drivers of the TaylorMade staffers. You guys dont think they are all playing that Reax shaft do you? Paint can be very confusing to people watching on TV.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
