Who's played a Volvik?

[kacyb6]

So who's tried these balls out? anyone? They're all over the LPGA - they seem to get a decent review on some of the equipment websites. Any reviews here?

Received a dozen Vista iV's today. Now just need some cooperative weather to get a tee in the tundra. Won't waste them on poor conditions though. Ball against ball, they don't stick to each other, but aren't bad. Cool yellow colour. Never thought to do the drop test though. I'll do that tomorrow.

When the Volvik Crystal balls first came out a few years ago, many of the gals in my club tried them. For a while a lot of us thought they went farther than any other balls we've played. They were lower compression than most major brands. After about a year though, the novelty wore off, and we rarely see many of them any more. Right now a lot of us seem to like the Bridgestone e6's.

I guess you had some excitement on Sat....until Angela faltered on Sun @ the KNC.

My wife loves the Crystal....but any ball will do for her as the trajectory from her PW is the same as her 6 iron too.....lol...yes the fad among female golfers had worn off.
Heck.....my wife also loves the Magna...she thinks they go farther....LMAO.

The e6?....ugh.....might as well put some rocks in your bag and hit them.
I know I know....you're too cool to play an e6....ProV1 or nothing for you....right.
Can you do the Saugana (sp?) Sling with a ProV1?

PS Is your name Kay Rali?

There is no such person as Kay Rali. Actually I do play the Bridgestone e6's. I think the ProV1's are overrated, especially for women golfers. I hit the e6's farther, really. And yes, I got all excited about Angela starting out so well at the Kraft Nabisco, only to be let down. That dang Inbee....when her putter is hot, I don't think there's anyone who can beat her. I'm all set (with a couple girlfriends) to attend the Solheim Cup in the Denver area in August. I'm hoping Angela will be at her best there!

The ProV1 is a superb ball...believe me.....the Penta5 and I heard the new Lethal is really great too.

Have fun at the SC.....Ole....Ole.
I like the current SC team up to #10 Gerina....If I was captain..... my 2 capt picks would have moxy and length....therefore I'd pick Kang and Sydnee.
I wanna see either Tutta or Caro destroy Kerr in singles.

My other hopeful would be Lotta choosing Belen as a capt pick for the Euros.
We gents gotta have some eye candy if the Euros are gonna be beat

Hit em straight.

[Kaysquare]

Yes, Mr22, Kerr is & always will be "the Brat". (I don't care HOW much weight she's lost....she still has the mouth).

Kerr is no longer 18....so a 5 letter word that begins with B and ends with H is more appropriate.....lol.

[kacyb6]

this turned into the weirdest thread ever....?

[Texas Golfer]

The Vista iV is my favorite. Fantastic distance and still has pro-caliber greenside spin.
Plus it comes in orange which is very easy to see.

[youngwaldo]

I have not tried the crystal but recommended to alot of high handicappers here and loved it. I tried the iV and its ok.

I think we should be clear about which MODEL of Volvik is "all over the LPGA". [i]IIRC[/i], it is their most high-end design. That would be far cry from their recreation level entries.

I'd just like to chime in. I used to try out lots of different Volviks when I was in college, then I got married and was resigned to a single Volvik. Seems like I don't try Volviks as often as I did when I first got married.

The most popular Volvik ball is the crystal, The most popular tour ball is the S3, which is what I play and haven't turned back since.

Dito ... hoping a friend of mine who is visiting the PGA show ... can get me some orange S3's

I may have to give those a try as well. I tried the orange Vista iVs and liked the spin, but the distance was just not there compared to Srixon Zstar or Cally Chrome Soft. Love the colors because they are so much easier to see.

[Filipposhka]

Stopped at one Volvik

[Zantor]

I did the same.

[MM321-W]

My mom tried one and she hated it

[elwhippy]

Latest S3 is a superb ball. Long, spins well and great in the wind.
