Super Tuna Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Afternoon All, Just saw an add for Visions golf balls as an add in this forum and was curious if anyone has tried them out? They don't seem to have a regular store in Canada but also seem to be willing to send some up. Just wondering if anyone else has given them a try before I bite the bullet. My fascination with yellow golf balls rages on...

W.J Bosley Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi AW, Thanks for asking about the balls. I have sent through an email and we are still test marketing products in different markets around the world to see how we might take on the major brands with our HiViz performance designs. There will be some product made available through this forum for testing in the near future as player feedback through my Test Pilot Project with forums like this in Australia has been very helpful so far. The UV Yellow balls that I will be trialling are covered with a special blend of our Flexigel cover material that includes our unique, US Patented - StayBright UV Technology.

mudfish Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 very cool... after playing the Srixon, I'm not surprised more companies are trying to put colored balls on the market... I got a few jabs from the guys in my league when I pulled out the yellow balls, but they were surprised at how they performed... I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to offer...

Tyk Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Those look super bright! I really liked the Srixon yellow balls, will consider buying them next time I have to make a purchase (hopefully not soon!) so I'm definitely not opposed to a bright color. Would love a chance to demo these Vision balls, come on MGS, load up the hot dog gun and fire off some sleeves to the masses!

W.J Bosley Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hi Sac, Good question, I see the Zstar's TY have a street price of approx $39.95. The two current levels I am looking at will be as follows, The Gel V's - which is my Game Improvement HX Hot / NXT almost NXT Tour like designs approx US$22.95/US $24.95 The Gel X's - which are aimed at the RX330 / NXT Tour / Trispeed approx US$27.95/US$29.95 I am working on my Tour Vision project at the moment with testing of both 3 and 4 piece structures using a new type of FlexiGel TPU Urethane for the cover, costing still to be worked out but less than the Zstar's. My approach to ball design is aimed at assisting all the players that could do with some Game Improvement in their ball selection to help them hit more Fairways & Greens in regulation with drop and controlled release spin levels around the green, The first question I think most players should ask themselves nowadays is, "Do you want Tour validation of your equipment or would you prefer to play designs that help you improve your overall game?" I believe there is another way forward for the golf industry. Cheers, Boz.

hendricks97 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 It might just be me, but I dont see any dimples on that ball. Are they just shallow?

W.J Bosley Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Hen, I get asked this alot, the transparent nature of the outer cover doesn't really allow for the normal amount of shadow to effect the way we see the depth of the dimples and as such any marks you make on the ball when in play are also hard to see. The Flexigel cover material is also able to be cleaned up/shear marks smoothed with some cream clenser like Jif/Ajax and a light scouring pad to semi restore the finish after a round. Here is one of my newer designs the Pinky which I have just released that shows the effect a bit better. Cheers, Boz. PS just in case you ask about the WB,they are my Fathers (and mine)initials which I place on any of my designs just so people know for sure that they came from the Bosley family. Also its in recognition of my Fathers great influence and support of my dream to have a go on my own and see if a fresh/new/practical style of ball design can find a place in our game.

Andrew Bush Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 well one thing is positive in this i am glad they are not blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously this is a great idea ive tried a few yellow balls on the course, the two clubs im a member at though uses yellow golf balls on the range so its not really that much of a change mentally, on the course it can be very beneficial to, i wonder what if people that wear sunglasses all the time might benefit from this more than anyone. ?????????????????

W.J Bosley Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Andrew, From my testing it will depend on the lense type but generally the Bright Yellow is a lot more effective and with more players being suggested to wear glasses to protect their eyes this will be helpful. Seeing you asked about Blue,,,,,,, I have an idea for players to use a colour to help differentiate their ball in play from their playing partners. I know the better players are not interested in these sort of concepts but there are plenty of other players that see the merit in this idea.

W.J Bosley Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi Brandon,I haven't set my site up at the moment to work like a shop as I want to talk to any players that come by first. That being the case I am doing Paypal and Visa/MC. I have just sent an International TP pack ( 2 dozen plus some other gear) to Adam that started the thread for AUD $85. If you like lets see if that works out ok and then just let me know. Cheers, Boz.

JohnBarry Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Boz, I can't belive my eyes, as you post more and more colors, and you are aiming for an improvement ball, which is right up my alley. I have been ball fitted for the Tri-Speed, and I can't wait to test or just buy a dozen. Thank you very much for brining this here for us, as this maybe the most exciting equipment innovation (the colors) that I have seen this year!

W.J Bosley Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Ad, I hope to have them there by Friday? Lets see how good TNT are. Hey Long, The deal I am doing includes the shipping as it is more of a trial for the guys onboard here at what I think is a practical cost. I will PM as soon I am happy with Ad's delivery if thats ok and that the pack shows itself to be good value. Hi Chappy, appreciate the kind plug. JB, I have another one for you and I believe you will fit right in with the way I have some of the the balls set-up and the additional balls I am currently working on. Even a stock white ball can be made to look quite advanced with a fresh hi-tech style.
