Volvik Crystal Golf Balls (One Dozen)

My favorite brand for golf

I tried these oddly-colored balls sort of as a lark... I've used balls of almost all colors -- iridescent, yellow, shiny blue and green and gold -- and found them to be a little more difficult to find than regular old white balls in most golf environments. These balls -- which appear to be close to the International Orange used for nautical lifeboats and life vests -- are, however, the most visible things around. Irrespective of lighting conditions or lie -- even in early morning dew with low-angle sunlight -- they are easy to spot and very hard to lose. As an 18 handicap golfer, these balls were OK for me -- but not ideal -- in terms of the way they play. The 3-piece ball design would be great for a lower handicapper, but I tend to put a bit of sidespin on the ball unintentionally -- with the result that these balls hook or slice noticeably more than a comparable 2-piece ball. From my standpoint, this ball would be great for a 10 or so handicapper, but the Wilson Staff Fifty Elite is a better choice for a hacker like me!

I have found my new summertime/hot weather golf ball! My usual ball has been the Wilson 50 Elite, in orange, which is a 50 compression golf ball. Even with a fairly slow swing speed, I discovered that during warmer weather I was losing some distance on my drives. I found a like-new pink Volvik ball on the course last month, and decided to give it a try. WHAM!!! That ball easily flew 50 yards further on almost every drive! It was soft enough to give great feel around the greens, and it putted smoothly as well. I could easily follow the Volvik in flight, and it was nearly as easy to find in the rough as my orange Wilsons are.Since a dozen Volvik Crystal 3-piece balls are more than twice as expensive as the Wilson 50 Elites, I plan to reserve them for hot weather conditions, and go back to the cheaper balls in the fall and winter.By the way, my golf buddies followed the typical guy pattern of insulting my manhood when I teed up the pink ball for the first time, but in the aftermath of my "Linda Ronstadt" drives ("Looks like my ball Blew By You, fellahs!"), there's only respectful appreciation!

I got the Oranges for Myself. Mixed for My Mom, We love them. I wrote a review on these earlier, We love the LPGA players who use these, they actually suggested that We try them at an autograph signing. Really sweet Ladies. Also I read a great review on Bunkers Paradise. They have a great feel, a great look, I am going to try the Vista as well, because I have a faster swing speed than My Mother but We love these. Definitely worth the money. We're on a budget, I know the price is high, but they are worth it. Super happy We got these. I love Orange, Yellow is..... well it's in a Yellow all it's own. Pink and Green look great. Super soft feel, cuts through the air well. Played our first windy day this past weekend and they did very well cutting through the wind. They've made Us better golfer's I believe with a boost of confidence & great feel & look.

I'm a senior golfer, generally scoring in the mid-80s to low 90s, and have a slow swing speed. I also prefer to use a brightly-colored ball, which are much easier for me to track in flight, and find than traditional white golf balls. While I have been using the Wilson Fifty Elite golf ball for years with good results, I recently have changed to the Volvik Crystal ball in pink, with outstanding success. (Yes, most of my golf buddies gave me a hard time when I teed up a "ladies ball"...until they saw the clear improvement in my scores!) Even though Volvik balls cost twice as much as my Wilsons do, the improved performance is worth it, especially during tournaments.PRO: Durability; distance; low spin; variety of colors; soft feel for chipping and putting; no one hits my ball by mistake; rarely lost.CON: Higher price; not carried by most golf stores or pro shops.

I am 75 years old, my swing speed might be 80 mph, beside the color which allowed me for the most part to locate balls in the air more easily, the ball did go further than the Precept Laddie that I am accustomed to which is about 210-220 yards on a drive. I hit off cart paths and there was some evidence on the surface but mush less than any other ball I have used. Besides the novelty of using pink balls, and the ribbing I got, many agreed that it was easier to pick up while in the air and I could find them more easily. I have decided to continue to use these balls because they are different and I like the way they feel putting and chipping as well. They don't float! I like them.

I'm not going to lie, I originally started playing this brand because of the colors available. I get really mad when a golf buddy hits one of my drives, and no doubt about it--these balls fix that. I started with their cheaper ball, played with their more expensive balls, and settled here. I play with the clubs between forged irons and real forgiveness, so my clubs give decent feedback. I'm certainly not the guy who will nail it and make it spin back on the second shot, but I am the guy who will probably chip in close with a 7-iron after an okay second shot. This ball had a great feel even on those little chips. I play with the orange ones, which are really bright.

For a female golfer, I have fast head speed and a strong swing and hit the ball far. I had been using women's balls as a default, not having much other choice, but I knew I could get more out of the ball. However, men's balls like Titleist are too heavy not responsive enough for me, especially off the tee and on/around the green. A more experienced golfer recommended Volvik to me after telling me many LPGA are using this on the tour, and he thought it might work for me. These balls have worked GREAT for me, and I highly recommend them. Great for every shot, including putting. Added bonus is the bright flourescent colors means I won't confuse my ball with others' and they are easier to find.

As expected
