44? Damn, I'm getting old. I'm 65 and have a son close to your age. I don't like it!
The cover on a yellow ball just feels a bit different to me. Not nearly as bad as matte balls but still makes me wonder about spin and if the ball is wet. Not fair to give a point for the first putt made on scoring system. The second ball at least deserves a putt like all other shots taken. Really skews the tallies when putts are given a point and no second putt allowed when first putt is made.
160 9 iron and 6 iron from 170 but short! Hmmmm?
As I got older yellow was the go to!
As expected. But at least you answered all the questions.
Personally I prefer orange to the yellow balls in leaf season
I keep a bunch of different colors in my bag. Really like the vice balls. Lost the best ball I've ever hit on a fairway and bought the brightest balls available after that. Also easier to find them in fall with leaves all over the course
100,000 well done
I got my first Ace with a yellow ball, so I'm bias.
Those Legato balls are very good. Used them the last few months and they've been great.
13 minutes to pick between two colours…….
I’d hate to be stood behind you at the bar waiting for you to make your mind up for what beer to drink…
Those balls are trash
White I lose the yellow in the air
Nice video Gabe! I have been using Legato balls for some time now, ever since you started using them. I had been using Kirkland balls before that, but I like the feel of the Legato balls off the clubs. I have to use the yellow balls mainly because I see them better as they are coming down from flight. Also depends on lighting conditions which I usually see the yellow balls better. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!🎄🎉
All about yellow or green ball. But a few of my preferred golf balls (Precept Laddie, Wilson Boost) only offer white. I will say summer time I can deal with white a ton better. (A little over half a Century old.)
I am in the yellow camp. It just so much easier to see. I introduced a buddy of mine to Legato golf balls and he is sold!! Such a great ball!!
What happened to your MGI Zip Navigator? You went back to a basic push cart? Why? Honestly, playing a yellow ball makes sense when your playing competitors are all playing a white ball. Nothing worse that everyone hitting to the same area, and you go around trying to identify whose ball is who. If everyone is playing white, then I'll play a yellow ball. Same deal with ball brand. I've had everyone in my group playing Titleist, and it absolutely drives me nuts trying to identify balls when everyone is hitting the same thing. I'll switch brands just to avoid confusion or the possibility of hitting the wrong ball, which is a 2 stroke penalty, which I would prefer not to assess myself for just being lazy and stupid.
But you also know if you are using a colored ball it increasing the probability that it's your ball…especially looking in the woods and there are a bunch of white balls.
I prefer to play with orange
Once Fall starts here in the midwest, I put the yellow balls away. They tend to blend in to the fallen leaves.
67 years old, cataract surgery pending. Been playing yellow the past 2 years. Willing to sacrifice distance for spin, 2 piece to 3 piece. I went to the Legato yellow after seeing Gabe's earlier Legato review. Just an all around terrific golf ball!
There is NO difference between white or yellow. It's just a visualisation preference.
I've been using the yellow AVX now for about 4 years and now I'm in my late 40s I will stay yellow. Just easier to see 😊
As a colorblind golfer it's yellow for me. Someone bought me a dozen orange balls thinking they would be easier to see. They turned out to be one hit wonders. One hit and I wondered where it went. 😂 12 shots and I was all out of orange golf balls.
Congrats on 100,000 Gabe! 🎉
66 here. I use yellow Legato most of the year (thanks for the recommendation, Gabe), but agree it's easier to find white ones when there are a bunch of leaves on the ground. And this time of year I'll sometimes switch to white ones when I'm trying to finish a round at dusk, as I find it easier to see them both in the air and on the ground.
Yellow
Vice Pro Plus green! Like it a lot.
I played the Founders Club in Sarasota today. I figured I’d lose enough white balls that I’d be forced to buy some more Lagatos and I’d get yellows for my own test. But I only lost one so I will have to wait. Yes. I judge success in how many balls I lose.
Thanks for doing this. I have played ProV yellow for several years and have not looked back. I just see it so much better. Age 57. There is no difference for me in distance or other aspects like spin. Thanks!
I’ve gone yellow all times. Just plain easier to see and is always know which is mine.
Yellow. It is scientifically proven. As Golf Ball Addict. He knows.
Play yellow mostly although I do have some orange and red ones s well. Green is the only color I don’t like. Orange is tough in the fall with the leaves.
My go to ball for sure. I have noticed no difference between these and other similar higher priced balls. Love these. Tried both the yellow and white and no difference noticed. Great review Gabe.
I’m 71 in a few days and I see the yellow balls a lot better. I will have cataract surgery before next golf season, so I will consider white next summer if I see better. I do like the yellow ball better. I’ll try the Legato also. Thanks for the discount code.
I like the legato balls but they arent any cheaper than big name brands in Canada
For me it matters. I only play yellow or green. I don’t see the white ones as well
Yellow balls may technically be easier to see, but I am so used to seeing white balls, I find white balls easier to see in the air, on the grass, and in the woods.
I use yellow prov-1s as my game ball and while I don't think it matters one iota score wise I think they're a bit easier to see and there's less of a chance some hack will hit my ball thinking it's their because far fewer people play yellow.
Play the yellow Lagato and the green Vice both are great balls without the big T price nice job once again Gabe
Interesting piece. I play white or stripe white! Thanks
Bad comparison you not hitting them the same .
those darn Legato balls are 49.99 a doz on Canadian Amazon will maybe still try a dozen great video Gabe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year cheers from Vulcan Canada
First of all, I very much dislike the Kirkland ball. It doesn’t seem to go all that far and it’s hard.
The Legato ball is completely different. I would compare it to a TaylorMade Tour Response, but cheaper. It’s got a nice cover that’s durable. I had also tried the Cut Blue, and that was another terrible ball. The cover of that one would have pieces of it shaving off every time you hit it. The Legato definitely doesn’t exhibit that problem. The Legato is now my new gamer ball. It does everything I want, is durable, soft on putting, spins good, and it’s inexpensive. I just bought 4 boxes of white ones for next season. If you like the feel of a TP5 or a Tour Response, try the Legato. I think you’ll like them. I may grab a couple of yellow ones as well.
Yellows suffer no issues compared to white. I now play yellow and they are sooo much easier to see and find.
The balls that in many tests including my own that are inferior are Matte finish. Feel was about the same but performance lacked in literally every other catagory. Tried 3 diff brands and it was same across the board. Less distance, spin, apex, dispersion, ect. My believe is that flat finish fights the air whereas gloss glides more easily.
I find the cover on yellow balls to be generally less durable than white ones.
