R.I.P. X808! I am sad to announce that my X808 was laid to rest(actually, it took a dive into a pond) on the 70th hole, just 2 holes short of a full 72 holes! It performed above and beyond all expectations.....distance, accuracy, bounce, bunker saves, rolling on the green for almost four complete rounds. I will miss you. I only have one X808 left, so I will save it for now and move on to the WB's. P.S. I guess I don't need a manager or pr agent.....yet.

Your hired JB! I'm going for 4 rounds tomorrow......after a little scrubbing with a bristle brush, the surface feels like new....and I hit a couple cart paths.

After with one ball, X808, I can now report that I have played three complete rounds with just one ball. Here's what I got from it: Babe Zaharias GC, Par 72....shot 84, won $14 for closest to the pin Pebble Creek GC, Par 71....shot 84, won $108 for best +/- stableford points with +11 Pebble Creek GC, Par 71....shot 87, won $21 for team with lowest two ball best ball score If this keeps up I will be getting challenges that my little yellow ball is not usga approved. The X808 performs well on all clubs, driver, fairway woods & hybrids, approach irons, bunker shots (2 sand saves this weekend)and putter (3 birdies...one each round). The x808 is the best from Boz so far! I am really having fun hitting my little yellow ball!

I played hookie yesterday and played with about 25 other "Old Guys" at Babe Zaharias GC in Tampa. I took out one Vision Prototype 808 (have 2 left). I played the entire round with one ball! Beats the heck out of last week, losing them the the gators! With a tweak from a pro friend of mine (he's the golf dept mgr at the local Dick's), I closed my new driver face a tad at setup and launched the 808 200 to 235 yds all day long. I shot an 84. Gotta say, I wish I could go back and fish the 808 out of the swamp..... As bright as they are in the fairway and light rough, this time of year the rough is thick as thieves so there were a couple times when I actually had to search for my ball as the grass was thick. I don't care what color your ball is, when the grass is 3 to 4 inches tall, you're gonna have some trouble finding it. However, when you do see it, you know it's yours! If I keep this up, it will take a long time to go through the new package. Thanks Boz

Now I like the blue!

Got my Box last Thursday...the package had all sorts of goodies in it. I was off Friday to play a new course (new to me)The Claw at USF, Tampa...I Lost the first ball UV on hole #3....I was just off the right side of the fairway on my drive and had to punch back in from the thick rough. Well, I got a flyer and it went into the cypress trees on the other side....as I ventured into the tree stand to find my bright yellow Vision ball, I noticed a large area of swampy water about 6 feet off the fairway. As I peered into the shaded area I suddenly noticed something moving at my feet, an 18" baby alligator. Slowly, as my eyes focused to the darker area, I noticed there were two of them.....then three. Before I could say anything, there were 5 baby alligators swimming around in the swamp. I don't have to tell you that when there's 5 baby alligators at your feet, the momma is not far away. All I could picture was the scene from the movie, Jurassic Park, where the baby velociraptors were chasing the men.....then eating them... Now that was one Vision UV golfball that I was going to leave in the rough....

Well, I played my two Fantoms last week....shot an 86 and came in the money (2nd place). I liked the trajectory.....both were somewhat soft feeling, one was a Lady Fantom. I would have played them for more than one round, but i lost one, then played the Lady until the cover had about 4 cart path scars. Will be ordering the next round of test balls shortly...

don't ya just love the way Gdiddy has a command of the English language?

Hi Boz, I'm in......had a rough winter where my 13 Hcap slipped back to 21. Blame it on changing grips to midsize(dumbest thing I ever did), thought they would help my arthritic fingers.....NOT.... since I reversed back to standard grip, my Hcap has dropped to 15 and the summer has just begun.(BTW.....I play year 'round). Send me details on the next round and do you want pmnt through PayPal? If so, do we use your email address or do you have a special account?

Can you say shag bag?

Currently I am almost all Powerbilt. I grew up playing Powerbilt. Last year I took a chance on the new nitrogen charged clubs and dropped my handicap from 21 to 13. The only non Powerbilt is my Cobra S9-1 3 wood and my Slotline SSi-693 putter.

Hey Boz, The Blue looks great....as I am a Univ. of Kentucky fan.....Go Big Blue!

I would try them, but every time I would hit it, it would just feel like a rock.

Intriguing! I was able to deselect those irons that I really wasn't interested in and only look at three irons, along with the average. Helps to fine tune, or select the points one may consider important.....like weighing Accuracy & Distance. I would like to see a price tag in a graph rather than have to select "Buy It Now" to get a single price.

I played the WB yesterday......windy and dry, temp in the low 80's. I was using two drivers; PowerBilt Air Force One and Cobra S2. Both carried the ball well, but The PowerBilt AFO takes the prize....flight is lower and more boring, providing more run with the ball. I'm pushing my irons right, somehow my face is coming through open thus the ball is flying straight, then right. I am getting good distance on the WB. WB held the greens very well. Overall, I played like crap, but had several shining moments.

Hey, I like all the logos......why not put a different logo on each ball in a dozen.....instead of numbers? You only play one at a time, so the logos can help id your ball when you are playing with other vision golfers.

I still have it.......just wanted to try the Cobra S2.....

I played a Yellow WB yesterday......and it performed! Great feel off the driver(Cobra S2), crisp off the irons(Powerbilt Air Force Ones) & had a nice click off my new putter (Slotline SSi-693). We picked up a single on the first tee. He said he only hit Pro V1's....I told him a little about the WB and he commented that he noted that it was easy to spot in the fairway or rough. He was definitely impressed when I started draining 15 to 25 footers (...and so was I).

You can call them to place an order......they also have a downloadable catalog with the UV X3 Vision balls. Nice people, easy to talk with.

I lost my Pinky today!.....took a dunk in the drink.....but not before I was able to really score with it! Just got back yesterday from an 8 day cruise to the West Indies, Virgin Islands & the Bahamas...needed to swing a club so I played Sunday morning..... After a horrible front nine....I knew I needed a change so I reached into my bag and pulled out the Pinky for the 10th hole...Tee shot good but on right side of dogleg left par 4...I had 170 yds to the green over the trees at the dogleg. Pulled out my 5 wood (thanks Powerbilt) and put it over the trees, landing just 5 yds short of the green. I then pulled my 8 iron and chipped it in the hole for a Birdie!..Next hole was a Par 4 and my drive was again to the right....I pulled my 3 hybrid (thanks PowerBilt)and punched it under the trees out to the fairway, stopping about 15 yds short of the green, chipped up and made the 8 footer for a Par!...next up was a 150 yd Par 3...6 iron to the green and two putted for a Par...So I am 1 under after three on the back...Next up...Par 5 had a great drive, with a 185 yd second shot to layup to the lake. My third shot was a 145 yarder over the lake, but unfortunately, I looked up and skulled it into the lake....Pinky was in the drinky! I didn't want to lose another so I used a Maxfli the rest of the round...finishing the back with a 41, just 5 over Par. I'm really gonna miss that Pinky!

Hey Boz, I called SMT wanting to purchase a couple gloves (Cadet medium).....they do not carry them.....so where do I go for more Vision gloves?

Thanks speszel......with your direction, I have attached the pix of the proto with the cut.

As for the 2 man scramble...my partner and I could just not get it together...I lost another Arctic White on a Par 3...pulled my 5 wood into the O.B.....the only good news was my partner was just off the green....I made the 25 foot putt for a Birdie....I decided I did not want to lose the Pinky, so put it back in its box for play at my home course....I used it on several holes and it performed well, but I was not striking the ball today. Postscript......I did get to write my name on the Longest Drive sign with the Pinky.....of course we were the first foursome to play the hole.....BUT I did outdrive the other three in my group, including my partner who normally hits his drive 50 to 75 yards past me.....another victory for Vision!
