2022-01-13  

White balls are common on the golf course, and many golfers like to use colored golf balls. In this article, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of colored balls.

 

1. Advantages

 

①You can see your ball at a glance.

 

Most people use white balls, so using colored balls is a big advantage. This way you can quickly spot your ball on the fairway or green from a distance.

 

For example, if you can determine the position of the ball very early in the process from the tee to the second shot, you can reduce the number of clubs you carry and develop a second shot strategy. For example, beginners may be very worried that they are slowing down the rhythm of playing. If they can find their ball in advance, they can also speed up the rhythm.

 

②It is easy to check the trajectory of the shot, and it is easier to find the ball.

 

For example, when the fairway bends and flies into the woods or rough areas, the trajectory of the shot can be clearly seen, and it will be easier to find the ball.

 

③ The color you like makes you feel good.

 

This may vary from person to person. But relevant research has shown that the color of the ball you like will make people interested and happy.

 

2. Disadvantages

 

①There are few types of products.

 

This situation may change in the future, but at present, there will be fewer product models and types than white balls, and the choices are relatively limited.

 

②There are cases where the ball cannot be found.

 

While we mentioned above that colored balls are easier to spot, in some cases they can be a hassle. For example, red and orange balls are hard to find when mixed in fallen leaves.

 

Of course, in the southern region, there are fewer cases of evergreen seasons.

 

③ There is a sense of strangeness.

 

Because it is basically white balls on the practice ground, it may feel unfamiliar and contradictory to use color in the end.
