This Callaway Golf Ball Was A TERRIBLE Idea!!! 

51 years old here. My eyes have gotten pretty bad as I've aged. I can't see a white ball off the tee any more if it's overcast. The red ball REALLY helps me in this regard.

I’ve played the Callaway Superhot Matte for over a year. They consistently drive 10-15 yards longer than my previous ball. I like the Red / Orange in the Spring, as they are very easy to find in new green grass. In the fall, I switch to the lime / green color as they stand out in the leaves.

The reds are one of the easiest to see by far, they are so damn red its ridiculous, they almost look like they are glowing. I guess its just a personal thing, some people see colours different. But red is the direct opposite colour of the sky, so it should be much easier to see off the tee. They do feel super tacky/rubbery though, so much so that if you try cleaning one, the towel just gets stuck on the ball and you cant wipe it. And since they are so soft they do scuff up a bit. They are great balls though never had a problem hitting the fairway with them, super easy to see in the rough too. The only colour I would say contrasts green even more than red is pink. But orange, green, and yellow, aren't good balls for autumn. Purple, pink and blue would be much better if you wanted to see your ball in the autumn leaves.

i use these when the sky is grey, i find it so much easier to follow the ball flight

I play the green or red Supersoft and love them. So much easier to track in flight and find on the ground than a white ball. I also really like the Bridgestone E12 Matt balls.

genuinely love these videos. you guys are both hilarious without even trying. love it.

'Stupid red ball' i can imagine everyone saying that when they duff or thin it. Also can tell its winter golf, mud everywhere... Good old British winter golf.

Have played the Callaway SuperSoft Red before and definitely found it easier to find in the crap. With that said I also found I couldn't get the same spin off the shorter clubs. It would always run out. I have now switched to Bridgestone Tour B RX in yellow and much better. Find them easy enough, spin better and travel further.

Played the red callaway superhot most of the year. I find them easier to find for some reason

Totally agree I bought the Bridgestone e12 in red difficult so see and also a big no no in autumn leaves 🤦🏼‍♂️

Played a couple of dozen of Wilson DX2 softs in that color this summer. It's true that they tend to be more difficult to track all the way, but I found them easier to find once you're closer, especially in the rough. The color really pops from the green, as long as you don't have any level of color blindness.

I've just tried the wilson staff duo optix today in green and I enjoyed it. They were easy to see and performed like the the duo soft pretty cheap and cheerfully balls to use in the winter.

Very interesting. As a partially sighted golfer I'm currently using the fluoro orange ball from Wilson. I'd considered these red as, like many, I assumed they'd stand out against green. I might get a multi pack to see what is best. It definitely isn't white for me.

I love a red ball. Great in the summer. Super easy to see. But in the autumn, they are a bit of a nightmare. Easy to get lost in the leaf litter. Great video James! Keep it up!

Been using these for awhile now. I just think they look cool. Never had a problem seeing them. Also I like when hitting a blind shot that I can immediately see which ball is mine from a distance amongst the white balls of my playing partners

I personally find orange and red golf balls very difficult to see, especially if it's off the fairway. I also have a hard time seeing them fly in the air off rhe tee box, for whatever reason! Keep up the great work Chris and James!

Not sure if this works the same but in the army we used a red lense filter to read maps at night because red light didn't travel as far and made it harder for enemies to see us. Maybe red objects are also harder to see from a longer distance?

I occasionally use a matte red Bridgestone e12 and I swear it glows when it’s in the sunlight, I have no issues finding it!

I tried playing with this ball are found I lost sight of it in the air. Love these videos with you and Coffee Chris.

I play the call away super hot red and green and I like them both. I think they’re easier to spot than white. I think depending on the season will dictate what color I use. I like colored ball because I don’t have to pick up all the white ball to figure which one is mine.

I heard the two of you discussing the scuff on the balls. My question is, when is it time to say the ball shouldn't be played due to damage or scuffs? How much do scuffs etc affect your ball flight and such?

i had to get rid of mine... they are horrible in the air and down.... i will say a huge THANK YOU for intro'ing me Inesis golf balls. i buy them and love them!

I use to use these earlier this year. They were harder to see off the tee, but much easier to find from a long distance even in longer grass. However, I fixed my slice and went back to Snell MTB-X.

I'm red/green colour blind. This is my nightmare...

Need to try a blue golf ball, never find them off the fairway.

Green and Red are also complimentary colors. Like the two part videos!! More banter that way! Keep it up y’all!!

I am colour blind red and green! My mates love watching me look for a red tee when it’s straight in front of me 😂

How can people not love these videos?? You and Chris are providing a valuable public service! Well, you make me laugh anyway. I've also decided to try a dozen of the neon green. Just heard Chris asking about blue, had a good Volvic Vivid a few years ago, dreadful colour to find for me!

I use the red Bridgestone e12 and works like a charm. Can track it quite easily in low light on any fairway.

Ive only used my red Callaway Superhots once but I loved them and found i was hitting straight with my driver more often than not. Even drained some ten foot putts. No issue with locating the ball

Hello James. Love your channel! What do you think of my very old irons, Wilson Staff RM midsize with stiff fat-shaft? Do they keep up with todays modern players CB irons or should i change? (hcp 5)

This is the exact ball I play with. I have an eye issue (I wear tinted glasses as well to read) which basically causes the white ball to disappear on me during my swing, where a red ball remains visible to me at all times! Having the ability to switch to a red ball has the polar opposite affect for me, my handicap came down and my game has gotten stronger!

Middle school me showed up on the first tee “feeling these balls in your hand”...I can’t grow up

I've never used a red ball but I love the Titleist Velocity in bright pink!

My two cons with the red matte golf balls are, first thing is I lose sight of the ball as soon as it is the air. Second with a matte finish mud easily sticks to the ball & that sucks when the ball is still on the fairway.

I have been using a red volvik and love the feel...but honestly, it is hard to see it land at times...but the distance and feel is great...

Use mostly matt red in the summer & switch to matt green balls in the winter due to the leaves, both colours far easier for me to track in the air and easier to spot when I do get it on the fairway

Found quite a few of these. Usually in the middle of the fairway!

i m color blind james! and my color blindness is green and red!!!!! :D

I've played these big red Callaway balls - felt like I was hitting a wet spongy stone. The worst ball I've ever hit.

played a red ball to try and trick the crows still took it

I occasionally use the orange Callaway Supersoft balls. Very easy to see in the air and also easy to find in the rough. Like the matte finish too.

I absolutely love the Chris and James test. You guys are a perfect duo

The bright colored balls remind me of miniature golf. Just bought the bright green ones and will test them out soon! I appreciate the feedback on the balls too!

I've played white, yellow, green and reds... I like the red Bridgestone E6 and 12s. I find them fine on the fairways, and also love the yellow Calloway ERC, Chrome soft, and super hots. I've never hit anything better than a PRO V1 but also like Velocity and AVX. I lose the whites in the air too easily.

Yes, I've used the red Supersport and find it nice and soft but difficult to see. The bright green snd yellow is much better

I used these balls today, received them as a gift ,from my daughter , loved them . Awesome distance ,no slice and great feel !! VERY VERY EASY to see where my ball was, from a distance. Amazing golf ball , going to be my golf ball this summer .

Have you done a truvis review as I have played with theses for over a year now and they do look bigger on the eye than any other ball ?

oh and great call on the rossi chris. love that putter. been playing the same one for like 15 years now.

The red ones I can follow fine in the air, but some of the darker red ones are hard to see for me on the ground. I have trouble in the air following white balls now though so I use a yellow ball. For me, it's the easiest to locate both on the ground and above. And thankfully (golf wise anyway) here on the coast of Florida I don't have to worry much about fall colors. If you lose a ball here in the leaves here, it's not camouflage it's hiding under one.

I agree red is difficult to see, it grays out in the sky and doesn’t jump out on the grass (as you’d think it would) I found the bright green/chartreuse balls are easiest to see in fall/winter/early spring. Then back to white in late spring/summer

I’m a big fan of Callaway golf balls but when I tried the red I felt like they were so difficult to see. Looking forward to trying some green Golf balls.

They used to sell a dozen with four different colors, white, yellow, red, and like purple. The purple looked ok up close, but after it got downrange a bit was hard to see. Then on the ground, to me it looked black from like 20-30 yards away or more.

Yes i have, and sometimes they are really easy to see, and other days not so much, depends on the sky, but i use yellow most of the time

I’m color blind, specifically green red color blind (includes many other colors too) and I literally cannot find red balls when they’re on the ground. It’s awful.

Are the Matte finish balls more spinny than the painted of the same model?

Yo yo yo! Red balls here. Callaway supersoft and superhot. I actually find the red and green extremely easy to find. The pink as well. Performance is ok but not the best. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Tried the Callaway Red matter super soft (or hot?). I could see it in the sky (blue background) but had a hard time finding it in the rough especially if it was shady. I now use them on our island green par three and the right bending par-five fairway sloped down right and lake on the right. Once they're gone I won't be rebuying. By the way, can't see them if they're underwater either...

My son got me a sleeve of red and green vice balls. Green was much easier to see in fall with all the leaves. Wouldn’t buy red again. Great vid again guys. Keep it up 👍

I tried the Callaway super soft, but find them "dead" off the club on the long game, but great around the green. I wouldn't choose red though.

Have you tried the new Superfast ball which supposedly replaced the superhot 70.

I’ve used every color they have. I like the red. The blue ones I have a hard time seeing Till I get up on them. I see the red fine. Yellow and orange I like a lot as well.

You 2 Snobs, are Ball Snobs! ;) Another good one James and Chris. I like the matte finish balls. Fun to play. Funny how a colored ball, still leaves white residue on the club face...

Red or orange in autumn is a nightmare, I am now trying bright yellow and bright green, orange and red are great in the air though!

Wilson dx2 matt Green. Played all last yr with them and loved them. Also the callaway supersoft green are great too.

Reading some of the comments below and listening to the commentary. What are they like off the club? It seems like they would not sound right or feel solid when hitting.

Honest question, are you not asked to fill your divots with sand in the UK? We always go in Aus. Assuming might be something to do with weather/grass type?

Personally I really enjoy your double barrelled Vlogs, Chris and yourself are a great double act, and I find your differing styles compelling viewing. Chris's total belief in his short game allows him to have a nonchalant attitude on the golf course. With view to the balls I play the matte green Callaway supersoft which I find easy to see, durable suit my standard of golf, I play off 12 and don't swing hard enough to get the best out of more premium offerings.

Great opening tunes and keep doing the content that you guys enjoy doing. In cold Canada the supersoft is a good ball, but red is brutal. Stay with the white ones.

Dude I found one of the superhot and end it up playing it most of the round until I lost it in the water. I loved it. Bought a pack in yellow matte. Red was fine in the summer but horrible in the fall.

hi james. Just using colored golfballs (espacially fancy ones like: red, blue and orange) for my training on the pitching/chipping green to visualize the grouping...and of course avoiding that other Players are taking away my paid practice/range Balls. Who else knows, what i am talking about? ;-) taking a full bucket out to the Practice area and getting to the Driving Range with just half a bucket....

I use an orange titleist velocity ball at a few golf coarses where the driving range is close to the fairway on one of the holes and they use white range balls.

Played some red and orange ones a while ago, never again, once I hit them I couldn't see them at all in the air so never knew where to look for them!!

Ironic. I just played this ball two weeks ago thinking that it would easy to track. It was not. I had to put it away by the 3rd hole. I could see it for the 1st 100 yards in the air but impossible for me to track pass that.

Yeah I bought some but like you could hardly see them so the last of the box get used for putting practise... should do a video on the Wilson duo that also comes in the green/ yellow but is fairly easy to see...

I like the two part videos. Keep me coming.

I'm a big fan of this ball. Well, the SuperHot in that reddish color. Great green side manner, and they are easy to find if you miss the fairway. It's not a common color found out on most courses.

I guess I'm just a traditionalist but I play only white golf balls. I've never had trouble seeing them in the air or on the ground. I love the Callaway supersoft ball (in white). They're not as long as the Pro V1 but to me they feel softer off the irons and have just as much if not more spin around the greens. I know you were testing the color not the ball but at $20 a dozen here in the States it is an excellent ball. To me it's better than Callaway's premium tour ball, the Chrome soft.

I liked the Volvik when they first came out. I really like it here balls but I do loose the red ones often and it seems like they should’ve been easy enough to find where they landed.

played with an older guy off 36 who used these. Soon as they went above the trees they disapeared .... until you got near them again and they damn glowed. Heaps easy to find in the rough. Not for me but i was happy to help him look for them. Worth a crack if you're having trouble with white i guess.

Haven't had a problem playing with a red or blue ball. I've used almost every color that volvik sells. Had my first eagle with a blue Volvik.

Last year I played red Bridgestone e12 soft. Couldn't see them when they landed and they were hard to see in the rough. Couldn't lose the dozen fast enough.

Struggled to follow them through air when I tried a red one

My mate used to play a red ball it was okay seeing it in the air but would lose sight of it when it lost height!

Love the channel James! But I've always wondered why you take your golf glove on and off between every shot?

I’ve been playing the Maxfli TourX 4 piece balls for a while, my swing speed with driver is about 102-105. Recently played a few sleeves of orange supersofts for fun and I swear to god they’re a full 15+ yards hotter off all my clubs. Perfect because I can club down right? Well no, even though clubbing down results in a steeper descent angle, I find it way harder to hold greens with them. They just don’t spin and the lack of urethane cover is very noticeable.

I have played the callaway super hot red ball and I see it better in the air then the white balls for some reason. The callaway super soft is a good ball for the money. They cost around $20.00 a dozen in the states. Also I have heard you say something about a blue ball good luck on seeing that when the sky is blue and I have had problems finding those when you hit it in the rough.

I have found the red ball to be hard to find as well. The yellow and green work, along with the white. I like the red ball color but difficult to see and track.

I recently played a Vice Tour Pro (Neon Red) and even with my dodgy eyesight I found it very easily. Even in the hole !

I was a fore caddie at a Ladies AM Championship tournament. They used a lot of different colored golf ball. I was about 200 yds out. I couldn’t followed the red ball off the tee in the air. Once it hit, I was fine. No red colored ball for me.

Maybe because I play in the desert (Las Vegas, Nevada)I love the Volvik S4 red golf balls super easy to see especially when you play in great conditions 365 days a year

I’ve been playing the Bridgestone e12 matte red and find it’s very easy to see in the air and in the rough. The only ones I’ve lost have been wet!

Two part videos are great! Easy to find the 2nd part THOUGH Chris’s cameraman’s a bit dodgy!😉

I play coloured balls in the winter and I tried the red Taylormade soft response, hardest balls to find!! Thought they’d be easy, lost a sleeve in 9 holes!!

Volvik s3 and s4 pink and orange balls are great colours and they are top quality too. Unfortunately they are very expensive.

I use the orange ones. I’ve tried switching to other balls but these are the ones I play best with.

Bought a box of DX2 blue a while ago. Felt and performed OK but even in flight and when on the fairway my playing partners and I found them difficult to see. Impossible in links rough! I went back to Mizuno balls.

Doo you remember the black balls Nike cameo out with several yeas ago Now they were hard to see even on TV. I am a legally blind golfer and can only see a ball from about 15 to 20 feet away. A little farther on a lush dark green fairway. On a mottled green and brown fairway such as in the early sprring I ofter only find when I hit it with my foot. For me , the easiest 3 colours to see in order are florescent green, bright yellow and bright white. White balls can vary greatly in their brightness. As all my golfing buddies use white balls, the collared ones make it easier to spot mine on the green.

I would only use a red ball if the sky is grey. However, I prefer neon green in all weather conditions for visibility.

I always had trouble with orange I could watch it in flight and actually see it disappear. Yellow or white for me.
