Volvik Vivid Golf Balls

Great visibility and excellent feel when putting. I've had a few people comment on how well you have control on fast greens. They feel "heavy" to me and I really like them.

Did not receive green, received yellow

These balls rock. They look like they glow and I average over 10 yards farther than any ball I’ve used.

Delivered as requested; brand new condition as expected.

After spending hundreds of dollars on Titleist Pro V1 and V1X golf balls I did some research regarding ball flight characteristics in which I compared distance, spin rates, ball flight characteristics, etc. Pro V1 balls do add about 5 yards to drives if your club head speed is 115 mph+, they are a great ball in that regard. The down side in my opinion an in my game is that if you cannot control the spin rate by being exceptional in shaping shots (draw or fade), drives get away from you quickly and noticeably. If your face and path are not well under control you will not need to bother looking for your ball because it will be WAY out of bounds. Plus the Titleist products approach $50 per dozen in most golf centers. Of course professionals do control their swing path and face very well so the added distance is definitely worth it for them.I was somewhat skeptical about changing balls but after working very very hard on my face and path control I still had drives and long iron shots getting away and let's face it driving ranges do not fill buckets with Pro Vs, hence practicing with them is impossible. Bridgestone, Callaway and other leading ball manufacturers offer excellent products as well but again the price point can be prohibitive for most amateur golfers. My research indicated that Volvik balls offered a very nice compromise in terms of price and ball quality. The spin rate is nominal and greenside softness is excellent. I decided to play Volvik "Vivid" balls thinking that they would be easier to locate on the course especially in the fall when leaves can make it challenging to find balls that are not in the middle of the fairway. I bought 1 dozen each of the green and red. I was skeptical that they would be visible in flight especially off the tee because of the colors.After several (7) rounds of golf I find these balls very easy to track in flight and exceptionally easy to locate on the course both in the rough and fairway obviously. Volvik balls explode off the tee and are far easier to control spin in comparison to some of the more expensive offerings. I also believe that the matte finish adds to responsiveness of the ball (spin) on pitch and chip shots. They feel as if they remain on the club slightly longer during compression although I have no data to support this other than the feel I notice. The price point on Volvik balls are excellent and today I will be ordering another 2 dozen just to have them in hand. Both the vivid green and red are highly visible, I have no preference between the 2 colors. A playing partner played the vivid jade (bluish) and they were harder to track in flight off the tee than the red or green.In summary, I am a believer and will be playing Volvik vivid balls exclusively in 2020. The price point, quality and playability offer an excellent compromise to my game. And, since my swing speed is slightly over 100 mph off the tee (~102) and in the low 90s with irons. Volvik allows me good control when shaping shots into the green. I apologize for the length of this review but feel it was warranted in a time when many are struggling financially. Those who truly love the game will still find a way to play and knowing that there is a high quality product at a reasonable price is hopefully helpful in making a financially sound decision to keep you on the course.I wish all my fellow golf enthusiasts good health and hope you all stay safe and make sound decisions regarding social distancing while still enjoying the game we love.
