yungkory Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I don't see how a soccer ball pattern would improve your golf. I'm sure it's just some marketing thing backed by "science" in the fact that it has a placebo effect. edit: they look super cool, though!

Liberty Ball Markers Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I can't stand them... too much going on at address, and they drive me nuts trying to putt. There is also a guy on Instagram that cuts golf balls in half to show what's inside - he's been going thru a bunch of these, and all of them have had the core off-center. (Not sure if that makes a difference, but all other high-end balls seem to be uniform...)

Kor.A.Door Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Actually I have used them for a while, it's the same ball as the Chrome Soft white. The technology is about focus. If you struggle with focus or have a wandering mind, especially putting, they do draw your focus, has it been score improving. Not sure, but it plays good for me. Try a sleeve and see.

Samson Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I personally love them. I line them up on the tee so that I am always staring at the same corner of the pentagon shape and have noticed some improvements on consistency. Same with putting. As a side note: I really like how you can see how much spin the ball has on short shots around the green. It has changed how I practice and can now predict how quickly the ball will check up and what the roll out will be.

alfriday101 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I use Truvis balls. I started with the white Chrome Soft. For Christmas a couple of years ago my son gave me a dozen Truvis balls. When I needed more balls, I bought the white ones. I didn't think the Truvis did all that much when I first played with them. After switching back to white, I found that I missed the Truvis--especially around the greens and for putting. I switched back to the Truvis and haven't looked back. I find the Truvis easier to line up on the green and I like how easy it is to see the spin on the ball with chips and pitches. Nevertheless, it took going back to white to realize how much I liked the Truvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zylem Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I use them right now. I love the chrome soft golf ball and was given a couple dozen for Christmas. I don't know if they really help me focus during my swing but what I do like about them is how easy it is to identify my ball. I am still on the fence if I will buy more of the truvis when it's time to replace these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgDaddy Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've been using them for a year and a half.

yungkory Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I thought about picking up a dozen at the NEX today since they're having 15% off all golf stuff, but I still have an entire box and a half of RZN blacks.

Kor.A.Door Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I prefer the black and yellow ones, but if I am struggling for the first few holes I switch to the red and white, I also have some plain yellow that I switch to as well, just to change it up, sometimes it works and other times it stays bad.

Chomper Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Love the design. I prefer the white background to the yellow, primarily because I have trouble seeing the yellow/black design on the fairway, until I am around 100 yds from the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian A Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 This pattern made me crazy, like the chrome soft plain white ball.

DeacLaw05 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I played a sleeve and didn't mind the Truvis pattern as much as I thought I would. I'll echo the sentiment that my favorite shots with it were greenside, as you can really see what the ball is doing as it spins, checks, releases, etc. I didn't switch to making it my primary ball as I prefer the feel of the Srixon Z-Star, particularly off the tee (the Chrome Soft felt too, well, soft to me). If I weren't playing the Srixon, though, this ball would be in the mix for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reacts very similarly to the Chrome Soft off the face, but has a sound and feel that most are accustomed to.

Yelwar Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 My son found one of the black and yellow on the course and it's been the only ball he has played since (past couple of weeks). He confused me last week when he looked like he was lining up a putt during a tournament with one of these balls and I wasn't sure how that was going to work, but I found out later the "Chrome Soft" lettering is setup as an alignment aid. As others have said, the main benefit seems to be the visual aid it provides around the green.
