GolfSpy Barbajo Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If the balll was the right ball for you (Tour-level, 2-piece distance, somewhere the middle), would you play a matte white ball?

Berg Ryman Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 No doubt, I think it looks cool and if it performs for me, even better. Golf needs more companies and players that aren't afraid to be a little different.

Kegger Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Never played a matte white ball, but why not?! I'm currently playing yellow golf balls so I'm already considered weird! But seriously, I will play whatever ball I feel is best for my game.

yungkory Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I wish they made more matte white balls. Loved playing the matte white Vice balls. Never tried the matte Vice offering, but if they made the Pro in matte I'd order 5 dozen, since the lime seem to be impossible to get. If my answer wasn't clear, yes -- I would play the hell out of a matte white ball.

STUDque Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Looks like "Hell Yes!" is off to an early lead. Those matte balls seem to pop better when you're looking for them as well.

Peaksy68 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Remember gang, vote early and often! Can we have a maybe option? I'd need to know it's as easy to see, and that it doesn't discolour more easily than a gloss ball. It would need to perform exactly the same as the ball it replaced. If a matte ball performs better, we should all use one. 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigtazzGolf Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes I would. To me the only thing I didn't like about the matte finish was how quickly it would get a grass stain. It wasn't a deal breaker because it just as easily cleaned off.

McaseyM Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If it fit my game, hell yeah! I'd happily play the neon if I could tell a discernible difference towards the positive.
