  1. I too have to put my hand up and say that one/maybe two of Boz's trail balls have either A been lost or B meet a watery grave which I find to be a shattering experience. Especially when you have in your possession a trail ball that is the best thing that you have hit for a long time and for some unexplained reason you manage to find that shot that leads to its demise.

     

    I am still waiting on the ball that will cure that. :lol:

     

    Vision certainly has the packing, customer service and the products to compete with the others. I hope to see them over here soon or readily available on the net.

  2. Well, I went out this morning to my local range to hit a bucket and chip and putt using the vision balls. After loosening up, I went to the chipping green to test the balls. I use my normal lot (penta, gamer, noodle, soft-feel and z-star yellow) and the vision golf balls (fantom yellow, hi-soft, the x-3, arctic, pinky uvx3 and the gel).

     

     

    Chipping

     

    My first impression was wow the vision balls seem much brighter out in the sun. Especially the fantom yellow, I also noticed that is glows in the dark inside as well (when I was putting my clubs and balls away, the Russell was glowing). I can't wait to get to a course and drive them. I am not a hacker that plays a lot of spin on his shots, I prefer to hit the ball just short and let it roll. My chips with the normal lot did what I expected; they would hit the front of the green on just off the green and roll toward their destination. The penta is my favorite ball around the green by the way.

     

    Next I trialed the vision balls, and they performed better than expected. They felt great coming off of my wedges not hard (like hitting a rock), but soft and I was able to develop a feel from that. I had four favorites out the vision balls; the fantom yellow and white, the gel and the x3. I particularly liked the large printing on the balls, it made it much easier to see the spin and I was able to attempt to correct my mistakes when I made them.

     

    Putting

     

    Again, I went through my normal lot and proceeded to use the vision balls.

     

    *Side note#1: At this time a small crowd was gathering (about three other guys). They started asking questions about the balls, they were mostly interested in the UV balls. I tried to explain the UV concept to them as best as I could and suggested to them they should visit visiongolfball.com or mygolfspy.com for more info.

     

    Back to the putting. I was surprised at how soft the balls felt coming off of the putter (using my mygolfspy SeeMore). I was able to gauge the distances fairly well and the markings on the balls were big helps. I again had the four same favorites; the fantom yellow and white, the gel and the x3.

    *Side note #2: Two of the three guys stuck around and I let them putt with the vision balls. They really liked the gel and x3. They were still trying to get used to the bright UV color. They asked where I got the balls and I said that the company is in Australia and has some of the fastest shipping around.

     

    The glove and other swag

    The glove – it was great. I loved how the tackiness stayed with me for the duration of my chipping. It has not been humid here and I was hoping it would be really humid or raining to give it a good test.

    The hat – My head has a tendency to sweat more than other people's and the hat wicked most of the sweat from my head. I do not think there is a hat out there that can soak up all my sweat.

     

    I can't wait to get the vision balls out on the course and put them into a game situation. Thanks Boz and mygolfspy for all the hard work that went into making this possible. Otherwise I would never consider products like this. If you have any questions or concerns please ask and I will try to answer them the best I can. Thanks again.

    Received my golf care package today. WOW!!! I second what hendricks97, just blown away. The quality of the balls, glove and goodies all look great. The glove fits like a... glove. It feels great. I have a golf outing on Labor Day weekend and can't wait to share with the guys and get their reaction to the balls. Plus the shipping was super fast coming from Australia. We ordered something from Washington state and we still have not received it and we ordered it before I received my vision tracking number. If that is just a precursor to your style of customer service you should go far in this business. Kudos to Boz and the Vision staff.

  4. Awincey- So is the GelX's 250 your ball of choice out of the testing? How is the accuracy? How many fairways did you hit in regulation? Did the pinky compare favorably with the GelX 250? Also did you change your swing when using these balls?

     

    Also I am glad to hear the glove worked out for you. Did you still experience the chaffing?

     

    Sorry for all the questions just wondering.

     

    Thanks, Matt

  5. Right now I am a full time student studying Accounting. I was employed for 17 years by a major telecommunications company that decided to ship the jobs to Mexico and China. I was fortunate enough that the Government has picked up the tab for my education. Hopefully all will work out. Golf has definitely filled the void.

  6. Played Shale Creek in Medina, Ohio. this weekend and just absolutley stunk it up on the front 9. I decided to play from the gold tees (7026 yards). I lost about seven balls and hit from one side to the other. I shot a 57 on the front. If it was not for my putting and short game it would have been worse. On the back nine I did make up a lot of strokes, I shot a 42. I ended up with a 99. It was a real sruggle for me. I had to do a lot of "scrambling" just to shoot 42.
