As people age, changes in vision can make it more difficult to see certain colors and contrasts. When it comes to golf balls, brighter colors tend to be easier to see against the backdrop of the green grass and blue sky.
-
Yellow: This color is often considered the easiest to see. Yellow provides a high contrast against green and blue, making it easier to spot in the fairway, rough, or sky.
-
Orange: Like yellow, orange can be easier to see against green and blue backgrounds. It can also be easier to spot in lower light conditions, like at dawn or dusk.
-
Pink/Red: These colors can also be quite visible against grass and sky, though they might not stand out as much as yellow or orange.
-
Matte Finish Balls: Some golf balls have a matte finish, which can help reduce glare and increase visibility. These are available in a variety of colors, including bright yellow, orange, and pink.
-
Multi-colored or Patterned Balls: Some golf balls have unique patterns or multiple colors, which can also improve visibility. For example, Callaway has a "Truvis" pattern (resembling a soccer ball pattern) available on some of its Chrome Soft balls, which some golfers find easier to see.
It's important to note that the "easiest" color to see can vary from person to person, depending on their individual vision and color perception. It might be helpful to try out a few different colors to see which one works best for you.
