Anyone try yellow golf balls and NOT like them?

I figured if I ask opinions of the yellow golf balls, the majority of responses would be in favor of them.. I'd like to hear from those who have tried the yellow golf balls and ended up going back to the white golf balls..

I have mainly because I am used to the white. The yellow versions kind of distract me when I am over the ball, especially putting.

I do not like colored balls. I found a brand new yellow prov1 and put it in my shag bag that I practice pitching and chipping with. I know its the same but it feels different and I do not have confidence that it will spin the same. My son uses red and orange colored balls on the course and likes them.

I do not like the yellow or nearly every other color. I find that they are harder to see in the air and worse on the ground. The only concession I will make is in the fall with all the leaves on the ground, I will hit a pink ball off the tee. There are no colors in the fall like pink and they are a little easier to spot among the leaves.

I tried a yellow ball, Srixon and liked it well enough. But I found it was harder to see on the ground so I went back to a white ball.

would really like to try an orange ball, but they don’t make a premium ball in orange. So ... white it is.

Volvik makes a premium orange ball. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/volvik-2019-s3-orange-golf-balls-19vvku2019s3rngxxgbl/19vvku2019s3rngxxgbl

I prefer yellow. But, not all balls with yellow. Srixon Softfeel yellow is the best.

I'm in the camp that believes using Volvik and Premium in the same sentence is a conflict of terms.

I couldn’t agree more. Literally the only golf ball I couldn’t even give away.

I played yellow all last year. I found them easier to track in the air and in the rough. This winter, I went to the eye doctor. My prescription changed significantly. Late January we were in Florida and my yellow balls were virtually invisible With my new contacts in my eyes. I had a hard time tracking my wife’s yellow ball too. I put a white ball in play and it was so much easier to see. I imagine this isn’t typical but it’s why I’m back in a white ball.

i HATE yellow golf balls. Will never play them.

In the winter, I like red, easiest to find in the dull winter light. Cart path only situations? Like yellow ball then so I know which ball is mine. Mostly play white

I was given a dozen yellow pro v's as a gift. Tried them out but I did not like them. I know they are the same but I felt like I got less spin with the Yellow version. Visually I thought they were equal.

For those that would like a premium colored ball try the Wilson Staff Professional in any color.

Lot of old timers are against the yellow ball, in my experience. The geezers make funny jokes about colors golf balls.

I like yellow golf balls. Basically, if I could, I would only use them. I will say there are better yellow than others. For instance, Nike Tour RZN Black in the VOLT finish was easy the best / nicest yellow golf ball made. The Titleist ProV1 / AVX yellow is nice. Srixons is okay. Bridgestones was very similar to the Nike. Snell was a smidge dull in color. Vice has that lime finish and though it's not yellow, it's definitely a poppy color (crap cover though).

Alright, I've said too much.

Every time I think about playing a yellow ball I think I’m hitting a range ball. So no yellow for me, or any other colour.

Yellow or any other color doesn’t bother me, but I prefer white.

I ordered 3 dozen chrome softs from lost golf balls and when they arrived I discovered I accidentally ordered the yellow ones. Since I was my mistake I decided to just play them. Hated them at first and my first couple rounds were a distraction. Finally got through them and put a white ball back in play today and while it felt more natural putting and chipping I found that I spent more time looking for my ball in wash areas (desert golfer here). It was a little bit of a shock as that is a major departure from the yellow balls. At this point I could play either but I’m seriously debating the yellow just because if I hit 4 balls into a wash area and spend 3 minutes each looking for them, yellow balls might save a good amount of time per round.

I don't care for them from a mental distraction perspective. Also think that if you go yellow you have to consider the shade of yellow offered by your preferred ball maker, not all are the same. While some whites are only a bit different - yellow seems to have more shades.

Matte and other colors are even more distracting when setting up over the ball.

My buddies and I did some testing last year. We were in consensus that the yellow ball seemed closer to us, off the ground. It's kind of a weird observation but not all of us were bothered by that either. I've found personally that I don't seem to find the yellow balls on the course as much as I thought I would. Maybe it's because I'm used to white balls, maybe the yellow balls just don't stand out as much as you'd think they do. Either way, they're both hard to find when you hit them into the woods...

I didnt like the srixon AD333 we have over here in uk. Off the wedges just sounds dull to me. Feels like a marshmallow with the putter too. Imo

Honestly, I like the look of a yellow ball, but it really depends on my mood as to whether or not I will play a yellow ball that particular day. With my old and uncorrected vision, some days I see the yellow ball better than the white, some days I don’t. It’s kind of weird honestly, but I just reach in the bag and grab what ever color I feel for the day. Yes, I have both white and yellow in my new preferred ball, the TM Tour Response...lol

I tried them and went back to white because I like white better and found that I couldnt find the yellow ones in the rough any easier than the white ones.

I'm a traditionalist, but I bought a dozen yellow Pro V1s and I'm a convert. Easier to see. I know which is my ball in the fairway. Don't show dirt much.

No downside for me.

I thought the 1982 orange Prostaff ball was cool at the time. Not anymore. Just like playing only white Pro V1x nowadays. Colored balls remind me of miniature golf balls or range practice balls.

I'm not a fan of the yellow balls, or any colored balls really. I'm not sure what it is, but I just don't have the same feeling standing over a yellow ball that I do the white.

I like both, Warm weather green grass white, all other times yellow.

I don’t like yellow or any other bright colored golf balls. I have played the Callaway Truvis and I can play them. I don’t think they are easier to spot or really add anything to my game. One of my friends plays bright colored balls and most of the time I cant see where his ball goes once it’s in the air.

When it’s overcast I like playing yellow balls. During the bright Florida days I like plain old white. When it’s very bright out, the yellow balls can have a halo around them when viewed through sunglasses and I can’t stand that.

We all like tradition, and white golf balls are traditional. The sight of a new white golf ball on beautiful green grass is part of the game's history, and stirs something in many of us.

That said, I don't think I'll ever play a white golf ball again. I'm 67, and had a partial detachment of the retina in my right eye two years ago; lots of floaters, and when my brain adjusted and learned to ignore the floaters, it also often began to treat a golf ball in flight as just another floater when the ball gets out to 200 yds or more. I'm typically pretty straight off the driver, so it isn't a problem, really; just annoying.

I had already been using yellow balls in the winter simply because they are easier to follow and find in dormant Bermuda, but always went back to white balls when things greened up in the spring. Then last September, I went to see a a Champions Tour event, and had two Eureka moments about yellow golf balls:

At least a third, and maybe closer to half, of the guys on that Tour were using yellow golf balls, and most of them are a decade or more younger than me, including their eyes.More to the point, I realized that I could follow the shots of the guys who were hitting yellow balls a LOT better than I could the shots of the guys hitting white balls. A LOT better...That did it for me; I bought sleeve of yellow ProV1x's on the way home to use the next day, and then ordered 5 dozen yellow Snell MTB-x's as soon as I got home. I, too, like tradition. But I like seeing my golf ball land and roll a lot better.

I tried the yellow and went back to white. The best part about the yellow ball was knowing which ball was mine in the fairway right away. I liked putting a chipping better with a white ball, so I went back to white.
