Yellow golf balls were initially made available about 20 years ago. Ladies and men golfers, both amateur and professionals started playing them and quickly these yellow balls started to actually catch on.

Nonetheless, something took place right after their introduction and the yellow ball vanished as quick as it had appeared. That something was the undeniable fact that the manufactures, in their race to get their percentage of the huge increasing demand for yellow golfing balls, left out one critical ingredient. Quality!

It didn’t take long at all for the golfing public to realize that, although it was cool to play the yellow ball, it wasn’t cool that handicaps started to soar after playing yellow golf balls. When the manufactures realized what was happening, it was too late to reverse the negative trend. It was over!

Then in early 2011, the yellow ball was reappearded and golf fans were watching tour pros like Rickie Fowler, Rory Mcllroy, Jim Furyk, Vijay Sing, and other well known pros using and winning with this new yellow ball. This time the premiere yellow ball manufactures (Strixon, Pinnacle, Top Flite, etc.) made sure these balls were top of the line in quality and performance.

The jury is still out on the successfulness of the new yellow ball because there are lots of golfers who still remember the negative experience they had the first time around. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when attempting to decide whether or not to try the new yellow ball.The golfing business on every level has been particularly effected in a negative way from the lingering decline in our economy. The very last thing they want to do is introduce a “bad egg” product to their customers at this time. In reality, tested performance stats from the new yellow balls has been quite good. My personal guess is we’ll see more and more colored golf balls in 2012.
