    Re: Bubba switching to Volvik Ball for 2017

    I found an orange Volvik on course during one of my last rounds of the season at the Oaks of St. George. I believe it was an orange DS77.

    I really liked its visibility, and it had a very unique feel / sound at impact, and seemed to fly far. I got 8 holes with it before pulling it OoB left.

    Then the week after while at Craigowan, they had S4 & S3 and Vivids in the pro shop.
    The matte colour & surface feel of the Vivids was really cool. None of the Volviks are cheap though.
    I'd certainly like to snag a few boxes but like most of us, I am loaded for bear when it comes to my inventory.

        They actually make a nice tour ball similar to pro v1 or k sig (hahaha). I've played it and if it didn't say volvik on it you wouldn't notice

          Makes a lot of sense Volvik was the official ball supplier at the WLD championship this year.

                Has to colour match the driver for sure.

                  a few years back I did an impromptu late November on course comparison between a ProV, a Cal HX tour56 my preferred ball at that time, and a just found Volvik Crystal. I knew squat about Volvik balls. I had heard of them, but never played one.
                  The Volvik held its own in distance and on the firm Nov. green. Impressed as I was my golf ball misogynist inner self could not be persuaded to buy them.

                    Funny you say that, from your avatar, I always assumed you played like a girl.

                    Attention PC police, it was a joke, right.

                            because he states he is "ball-free" and has no deal with anyone...does that mean he has to go to golf galaxy or D-ick's in the states and go pick up a dozen for the tournie?

                            Or does he just sneak some into his bag from the driving range like in Tin Cup
