Last year I bought a box of Bridgestone e6 and didn't realize they were yellow until I got home. Rather than take them back, I played them... and loved them. Tracking ball flight was easier, found a few in deep rough/hazards I might have missed otherwise, and most of all I got really used to playing with partners and instantly knowing which ball was mine as we approached a green.
So, when Titleist came out with a yellow ball, I was psyched, and bought a box of NXT yellow. Holy crap! What a FUGLY ball!!!
Now, I suppose if you don't like or play yellow balls, they are all ugly to you... But to me there is a big difference between the deep yellow and glossy look of the e6 and the paler matte finish of the Titleist balls. The Titleist literally look like crappy miniature golf balls. The Bridgestone yellow and even the Srixon yellow I've tried look nice to me. The Titleist look like they had a cheap amateur paint job. I hate them.
Is it just me or do any other yellow-ball gamers dislike the Titleist take on the "optic" coloring? If you hate yellow balls and think they all look silly, I respect your opinion, but please keep those comments to yourself. I'm asking people who play or might play a yellow if they agree that the NXT yellows look inferior to other brand's yellow offerings.
