......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.

Yup noticed that,

as if they are playing stock shafts.

You could buy tons of boxes of ONE Blacks and ONE Platinums and hope you get one of those silver balls that enters you in the drawing to play a round with Tiger.

Yup noticed that,

Very, very few of them paint their shafts. The shaft manufacturers wouldn't like that at all and TaylorMade could probably get sued - you can't make a deal with one company to provide them a monopoly or whatever.

A lot of them, then, use the stock shafts in the r7 drivers, yes. Now, they have a far wider selection of that REAX/ROMBAX shaft than we do (one weight, etc.), but they're pretty good shafts, and with the movable weights, the shafts are often not quite as big a concern - they have more ability to change the performance by tweaking the weights a little. Anyway, that has nothing to do with balls, so let's get back to that... I'd play with a goofy colored ball for fun, but just once or twice.

How about the old ping two color balls. I found an old one in my bucket of balls and played it in a round with my buddies for some chuckles. However, I had a really good round so I said I was going to get some on ebay. I thought I could get some pretty cheap since they are so old. Boy was I off, come to find that certain colored balls were going for $100+. Others were still relativly cheap but I wasn't going to spend $3-5 for a 10 year old ball. Any how, they are really cool balls and look neat when you hit them.

There is a lot more equipment used on tour that is not what it seems than you think. I have a buddy that builds clubs for tour pros in AZ, and he lets me in on some of the secrets now and then. Anyway...... you are right iacas, this thread is about colored balls..... so back to that.

That's okay. Each to his own in my opinion.

My step-brother played a yellowball last time I played with him. I don't remember who made them, just that they were cheap. Like $9 for 15. Top Flite maybe? It was his 2nd time ever being on the course, so he wasn't concerned about the performance of the ball. They were definitely easy to find, and we always knew which one was his.

The yellow and orange Precept xp3 is on sale at Austads. I have read that they are actually hard to find.

I used to play with the cheap yellow colored Top Flite's. Low performance ball, for certain. But they work decent enough for the muni courses where you might actually need an other-than-white colored ball due to the poor course maintenance (white clover and daisies everywhere).

If Precept makes one, I might give 'em a try.

    • 9 years and counting. Lil chipped paint here and there but still going strong. Also have an 18 deg driving iron that I got a couple of years ago which is doing well too. @iacastried it and I think he liked it.
    • For PING to assemble and ship it? It's a 3H. Yea, the new club has more loft. How do you like that, 2H?
    • Then go on gitchu a brand spanking new 2H son.. what are you waiting for? 
    • I may not always hit a good shot but I always make sure the pre-shot routine is done.
    • Cool.. the pre-shot expectation still applies. Just saying..
