Bright Guys: Vibrant colors and optics usher in a whole new golf ball game

December 26, 2018

Of the many recent trends in the game of golf, none are more noticeable than the rise of colorful golf balls. While colored balls have been around for a long time, they were often seen as the mark of a bad golf ball. No longer. Now all the top golf ball manufacturers in the game offer colored versions of many top models. Check out the eight examples below to see if they catch your eye in just the right way.

Bridgestone Tour B RX

$44.99/dozen; bridgestonegolf.com

The Tour B RX is available in white and optic-yellow. This high-performance ball includes a multilayer design, urethane cover, and proprietary core construction (what you see in Tour models), but with more forgiveness and distance for swings that don’t hit the triple-digit mark.

Callaway Chrome Soft Truvis Pink

$44.99/dozen; callawaygolf.com

The newest Truvis color looks cool and also helps raise money for the Morgan Pressel Foundation to fight breast cancer. The pattern allows you to see how the ball is spinning on chips and putts and actually makes the ball appear larger than it really is.
