Can anyone help I am looking for the best place to by coloured titlist balls  I have just been diagnosed with a problem with my right eye I can not see clearly and I know the yellow or orange do help me but I am used to playing with titlist nxt to pro v

Thanks

I don't think that you can get coloured Titleist Pro V balls and I am unaware of coloured NXT balls. The only Titleist ball that you can get a coloured version of is the PTS Solo which you can get in yellow.

The other year I purchased a dozen of the Maxfli Noodle Ice which come in several colours and they were very easy to pick up against the sky, but are a little on the hard side as balls go. They might be worth a try - you can get four different colours in a single box, so you can find out whihc colour is best for you and then buuy a dozen of that colour.

I hope that this helps. 

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Richard and hope that it's treatable.

Not sure how I'd cope not being able to play golf.

hey Richard,

kevin is spot on about the noodle ice balls. also pinnacle do coloured balls which maybe well worth a try.

sorry to hear about that ritchard hope its treatable. I had a similar problem last summer when the glare of the white balls gave me migranes. (hopefully i have cured this now, new diet and glasses) but the noodle ice and the precept ones are ok. Little harder and fly off the putter more. If you find these to hard.

Is there a rule about marking your balls. i mean if you really wanted to play pro v could you not get a perminant marker and colour them in or would this be against the rules? 

thanks Matt Simon kevin wayne i will have alook at the noodles

cheers its been hard to come to terms with and still dont know what has caused it

but i will keep my chin up

its at address too i have blured vision in my righteye all the time my freinds do watch my ball but its putting too

thanks

Richard,

I know this may sound crazy but with putting have you considered closing your right eye...

Ya never know...

 NWOT........

i have tried that Robbie i suppose i will grt used to it just need at little help till i do

Do you mean the visi ball glasses.

yes, I have some and yes they help find balls. The area goes a blue colour and the ball stands out - only white balls mind and no good in the fall.

I have found many a ball with them but they are not designed for eyesight aid at address.

And of course you have got to not mind looking like man from mars wearing them...

NWOT........

I will have mine at the North v South comp so anybody wanting to have a peek through them just ask...

NWOT.......

Robbie are they avalible in prescription

No Matt, they are just a golf aid for finding balls...about £25.00

Will show you mine Sunday

NWOT........

**Will show you mine Sunday**

I've heard that line somewhere before!!!!!!!!!!

give cheapgolfballs on ebay a try

Hi richard,

Sorry to hear about the eye problem, hope you can get it sorted. 

As far as i know Titleist only make yellow balls in PTS so/lo and PTS performance. I have never seen any Pro V1's in yellow or pink.

Give the PTS performace a go, they are of course not quite at a Pro V level but they are a good ball nether the less. Also dare i say, at risk of getting flamed, try the Wilson Ultras they are very good and have a soft feel and seem to stop very well when needed. And at about a 1/3 of the price of the Pro V! 

Do Srixion do the Ad333 in Yellow?

Good luck 

Danny 

i have ordered some maxifi noddle ice to try in gory pink

cheers

there was some black and white one that came out as well wernt there chris

Hi dick, 

 Have you tried a can of spray paint, many different colours there.

Plus if your lass knows your buying more golf balls I am sure you won't have to worry about the colour of your balls after she's finished.

 The question is should I tell her?

Gary

 Good point but the wife has bought me some so it fine for now spray paint cracks too

Refugee Balls were the ones I was on about. All Black which makes them supposedely more visible and also more heat retentive so they get warmer in sunlight and therefore fly further:

I'm not trying to dismiss the use of coloured balls or anything but have just had a look at the link that Christopher supplied.  But honestly 'This new technology means that the ball heats up slightly in the sunlight, expanding the air surrounding the ball when it is in flight, increasing speed and distance.'  What a pile of horsesh*t.  A spinning ball travelling through the air at 60 odd mph will shed heat, that's true - but lessen the air density around it to increase distance?  An object the size of a golf ball with a temperature a couple of degrees above ambient will have a thermal boundary layer of about 0.01mm, not taking into account any spin adjustment.

Utter drivel.

i used my maxifli ice (pink) they help no end they did feel a little differant but got used to them even my mates tried a few shots with them

and i cut 11 of my score not that bad
