  • Any one tried the Volvik Vivid Golf Ball?

Provisional but when the deep brumuda rough eats one forgetaboutit!.

I hate that. We used to play a course that let the bermuda rough get high before a Hooters Tour tourney. You had to step on your ball to find it. It was a guaranteed a 5 hour plus round. Our group plays "leaf rule" in the fall. If a hazard or OB is nowhere near take a leaf rule free drop and move on.

    mikeintopeka I felt the same way. I liked them OK; the colors were great. But I felt a slight performance loss with these balls.

    I like Wilson Duos, Nike Mojos, TM Project As, TM Burners. I used to use the older Volvik balls (pretty sure they called it the Volvik Crystal, where it almost looked liked the cover was clear and the color was beneath) and I liked them just fine.

        I played some Mojos and the Vivid side by side last summer and for me the Vivid flew much farther.

            I found it to be fairly long especially with irons. Spin off wedges..average. I suppose for $30 it's a decent ball.

            Rickochet For me it was the opposite, although I never really played them side by side.

              Just got the latest Golf magazine and saw that Wilson is coming out with the Staff DUO balls in matte colored balls.

              For those who like the Wilson, and not the Vovik's...

                I do like the Wilson, so this is good news for me.

                The matte finish is not what I like best about the Volviks. It is how bright the colors are. You can tell the diff between a Volvik Vivid and another ball from hundreds of yards away.

                    The picture of the Wilsons showed pretty bright colors as well. Somebody on here will have to find some comparison pictures of the Volvik's and the Wilsons to get a comparison.
                    Volvik also has some other balls that are gloss finish like most others, but are VERY bright. My wife pulled one out the other day and said that it almost hurt her eyes in the sunlight. Of course, she then proceeded to put it in the middle of the pond in front of the tee box...
