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

Richard,
I know this may sound crazy but with putting have you considered closing your right eye...
Ya never know...

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...

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 once played with 2 different coloured balls..................when I stepped on a rake in a bunker.

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?

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.

Like most of the claims made for all this latest technology, as my old French Master used to say bilge, bolge and balderdash.

The warmer a golf ball gets the more efficiently it can transfer energy.
Ultra-thin black cover absorbs as much heat energy as possible from the sun for extra distance.
would anyone fall for this s**t?

I can understand the theory, Alan but I think a black ball would be harder to find as it goes further into rough.

Nike have a limited range of coloured balls which aren't as hard as the Noodle Ice Marbles! Have a look on ebay, but be warned as they are pricey! You can get black, red, orange, purple and silver, however with Nike-speak involved read 'magma red' etc!
