I admit I have a little troubling following the flight of my ball on drives.  I was using the lime color Callaway Supersoft and found it easier to see than the white, so when they introduced the bright orange I bought a dozen of those.

I don't know if any of you have used the orange balls, but I find them extremely hard to see.  Not only in flight but even when they are lying on the fairway.

So now Callaway has yellow and blue.

What ball do you all find easiest to see?  (I'd make this a poll question but don't know how)

Thanks

Click edit, the little pencil at the bottom of your post and then once in edit mode look at the bottom of the page (lower left I believe) and you see the "add a poll" option. I prefer white so, no help there...

I 100% love that bright yellow Sirxon Z star XV....  I bought a few dozen at Dick's when the new ones came out ($24 a dozen compared to $48 for the new ones)...  I accidentally bought some of the tour yellow... and now I'm hooked.

I can definitely see the bright yellow better in low light conditions.

There are days where the white balls disappear in the clouds.   On a typical cloudy Michigan day though, I like white.    I do like the bright yellow as an alternative.

I like the color of the Pinnacle Bling purple, but man that ball is hard to see. I really like the green Volvik Vista iV. I posted this in another thread. :-) It really is easy to see.

I do have to say, Yellow is a pain in the arse if you hit it by a driving range with yellow golf balls....  that doesn't help.. Steer clear of range overflow!!!

brightest ball I've ever played - I play these when playing alone - only ball I can see in flight (its completely different than any other orange ball on the market - it practically glows )

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
