Best ball for fall golf (i.e. standing out in leaves and low sun)?

[nlinneman20]

Didn't have this dilemma last year because I didn't have all these colored balls, just white and yellow. However I'm going Saturday around noon, I imagine sun will be lower than summer and there will be leaves on the ground, not terrible but they will def be present.

 

Here are my ball choices

 

Q Star yellow and white

Matte neon green, orange, white, pink

 

Any opinions on easiest to spot in some leaves and with the low sun? During a normal summer round I can see them all just fine so I dont have a 'favorite'. I would rather shank a ball 100 feet directly right of me than hit a great shot only to not be able to find the ball.

Following this. I have the same problem. I can’t tell you how many balls I’ve lost in the fairway during fall rounds in the DFW area.

lol i posted in another thread, nothing better than fall golf however losing balls in the leaves is the WORST! When I hear 'this course is beautiful in the fall' all i think about is a perfect drive in the fairway ending up lost :)

The best ball for fall is the cheapest one you can find that still performs decently. I hate losing expensive balls in the leaves.

Vice Neon Yellow. It almost looks like it's glowing....

The Maxfli Tour in Matte Green will serve you well. Just finished a course here in MN and went into it expecting to lose balls. These balls stuck out like a sore thumb today.

I'm going to try pink.

I had better luck with orange earlier this week. Of course, the course I played had a bunch of walnut trees all the way around it:

How do those walnuts hit? Looks like fun!

[Zen_Golfer]

Probably white because it would be the biggest contrast to the leaves. You probably wouldnt want an orange or red one.

The sound and feel were absolutely fantastic! The sound was a solid "chunk," and the feel was just plain buttery (there's that horrible adjective again). The distance was substantially shorter than expected, on the order of 5 or 6 yards. That was the 9th hole where I hit a beautiful 8-iron shot directly into the side of a tree, where it rocketed 90 degrees into a fairway bunker (which totally ruined my score on that hole).

 

I found the yellow Bridgestones the most difficult to see (at that course, anyway), followed by the matte white Vice, the gloss white Titelists (totally lost a Pro V that I picked up earlier, and had a tough time finding the DT Tru Soft I was using)...The easiest to see (on that course, this past Monday) were the atomic orange Wilson Titaniums that I got from my neighbor...those puppies stuck out like a sore thumb on the greenish/yellow grass, in the foliage, and even in the bunkers.

I’ve always had good luck with the truvis white and red balls, but usually buy some used balls on golf balls direct and don’t care about losing them...

Black and Yellow Truvis are great for fall golf.
