Volvik Crystal Soft Feel Golf Balls

Comment: My golf partners' jaw dropped with my increased distance. A friend who routinely out-drives me was mystified with my new distance. I still can't beat him but I now have equal distance to the green. It's only a matter of time now. What fun!

Comment: I bought them for a friend,she loves them, I do not play these types of ball,, too soft for me and too colorful...But what a great gift for some female golfing friends.

Comment: Great golf balls for the woman that doesn't swing as hard and fast as she used to. They give me extra roll.

Comment: A friend gave me a sleeve of Volvik Crystal golf balls as an Easter present this spring, and they were a huge, wonderful surprise! Though they are very brightly colored "Easter eggs," they are not just a cute joke. They have a wonderful feel which makes them the best ball I've used in ages.

These balls look completely different from anything you may have used before, even if you get the crystal white ones. Translucent and almost see-through, the balls have unusual (patented) dimpling, with a variety of sizes to the dimples and an "octahedral" pattern. The bright, but not day-glo, colors make them easy to find if they stray from the fairway.

Though they are a low 70-compression ball, they are as lively off the tee as even the hardest Pinnacles, but I had 10 - 15 yards more distance than usual and felt I had more control and better accuracy. The "feel" of the ball is especially noticeable in the short game (which is so often a weak point). Chipping felt comfortable, and short iron shots landed nicely without a lot of chancy bounce. As for putting, I could actually putt with these!

Testimonials like this are not usually my style, but I am very enthusiastic about these balls, and have brought my Index down two full points since I started using them. The biggest and best surprise of all is that they are moderately priced, less than most premium balls currently on the market. Mary Whipple

Comment: Translucent in appearance, with an almost see-through cover, these "crystal" white balls are for the more serious golfer--or those who want a more serious "look" than what one gets with Volvik's equally good, pastel-colored balls. The "feel" is the best I've come across in ages.

Though they are a low 70-compression ball, they are as lively off the tee as even the hardest Pinnacles, and I increased my distance by ten yards or more, with a feeling of better control over direction and significantly better accuracy. The user-friendliness of the ball is also noticeable in the short game (which is so often a weak point). Short iron shots landed nicely without a lot of chancy bounce, and chipping felt comfortable, with no surprising leaps out of the short rough. As for putting, I could actually putt with these!

Testimonials like this have never been my style, so for a golfer like me (who usually doesn't have much preference for balls, since all of them seem to have an independent life of their own), discovering a brand that I think is truly better is a major breakthrough. The biggest and best surprise of all is that these are moderately priced, much less than the premium balls currently on the market, and I plan to keep on using them (and hope my luck continues).

Edited: I have now been using these balls for three weeks, and my last seven rounds have counted toward my handicap. My index has come down almost two full points in the past month while using these balls, and the magic continues. Mary Whipple
