Zylem Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The biggest thing to me when selecting a ball is how it feels when putting. I will play any ball that I like the feel of. In the end a lower score looks better than any color ball. Sent from my Pixel using MyGolfSpy mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver & black Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 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. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTexGolfer Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Tried the Vice in matte and wasn't impressed. Couldn't see it any better and it just looked dirty to me.

chisag Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 ... Nope. I have hit millions of gloss white golf balls so I have a comfort level with them and the one time I hit my son's matt white Volvik I found it distracting. I couldn't see the dimples and it was just so different. Fwiw, he thought they were very cool but on the course he didn't like them either. Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Kenny B Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I've never seen a matte white ball, but I have played with people that used matte Volvik balls of varying colors. Not my first choice but if it plays OK... why not? “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc38 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've played matte orange balls, matte yellow balls, pink and yellow balls... And normal white balls. If I could get a "tour level" in matte orange or yellow or... I'd be all over it. The bright colours in matte are super easy to spot and to follow in the air and they sort of help focusing the eyes and mind when puttung, at least for me.
