Vivid Green (One dozen)

These vivids are awesome! The color stands out! It's almost like they have a glow to them! Really stand out when in the fairway or even rough! They have a soft feel to them and almost feel sticky. To me I think it's a great feel and ball really comes off club head perfect. I think I've gained distance off the tee box with these because every time I hit them it's solid and I'll see a big bounce off fairway then it rolls well. Great feel putting these as well. I have the green ones but found a red on the course and WOW does that color really pop!! I definitely recommend these for whoever likes to hit the color balls or has a problems losing balls in the open!

I loved the color! Easier to see in Flight and easier to see on the ground. Played along aside partner playing the usual yellow ball and this stood out. The ball performed as well as any i have played. I really like the feel around the Green.

The Vivid is a very visible ball and easily distinguished from my playing partners's balls. Performance was similar to most Surlyn covered 3 piece balls. I am enjoying the Volvik Vibe 3 piece Urethane model more than the Volvik Vivid.

I'm usually a brand-whore and hit Titleist ProV and ProV-1 but I thought I'd change it up a bit. These balls fly farther off my 3W than Titleist, and have just as much feel for my short irons. I've already taken out all other balls from my bag (except my junk/throw-away/anger-management balls). The green is very visible, but I was having trouble picking up the orange... it is fall, and leaves are changing so that didn't help. It's almost easier to find them when you're not looking for them. Meaning if you just scan the area it jumps out at you versus focusing on seeing the ball. Anyway, these are my golf balls from now on. Good product.

Love these balls. No need to mark your ball anymore. Chances are very good that no one you are playing with or that is on the course has these. They are so easy to find and track during flight. The florescent green color is addictive. You will find others that want to help you find your ball just because it's so cool looking. I also find it easier to hit than white balls. Also, the line with the arrow at the end is great when lining up your putt. Honestly, I don't see any great improvement in distance with these. Maybe a few more yards, but the other benefits are worth using it. Feels good off the putter. Volvik has a great product here. I suppose more people will be using it soon so I'll have to invest in some type of marker in the future.

As a golfer of many years who tends to lose white balls, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the Volvik Vivid golf ball. The Vivid green ball that I am using now has survived 36 holes (having found it 2 or 3 times that I would have otherwise lost a white ball), and I will continue to use it until it is gone or too scarred to play. Which leads me to durability. I cannot say that I have played a more durable ball. Its matte finish takes a beating, and has given me no reason to replace the ball after 36 holes. Also (I may be imagining this), I believe that I am hitting this ball longer and straighter more consistently than other balls I have played. Perhaps it's because I can see it better on the tee or ground, or because its vivid color encourages me to keep my head down longer. I don't know. This I do know: I like it!

I bought these after someone let me try a bright red one. I liked the performance of the ball around the greens but felt like a super ball when struck with an iron. Kind of a dead thump sound and feel. The ball is very bright so it glows in flight which is nice however I found it more difficult to see on grass than a white ball. The red was frightening so I went with this color. The flat finish is interesting but I find it marks easily. Most marks come off but I felt I was constantly wiping them off. These are kind of fun but I find them more of a novelty than a ball I play because it lowers my scores. In the end I gave these a 3 overall but they could have gone a 4 for performance. I like them around the green so now I use them for chipping practice in the back yard. They are great for that.

So, my wife bought a box of these because she wanted to give them a try. She's a good golfer and can easily tell the difference between different brands/compressions of balls. She likes the Bridgestone E6, I like the Titleist NXT's; but I digress. At first I hated these Volvik balls because I thought they were short on distance and hard as stones. But, after three rounds of using them, I've fallen in love with them. They're not short by any means, in fact they are longer then the Titleist balls I've been using. They are good around the greens, and best of all, they go straight. That is: they do not magnify your mis-hits. They are a little firmer then the Bridgestone E6 or Titleist NXT's; kind of similar to the ProV1 in that regard. The only caveat I would offer is that I do believe they may be better suited to golfers with a little higher swing speed.
