    I would buy the ProV1 if it was offered in yellow or orange.  On some very bright days in early morning or late afternoon, there is so much glare that it is difficult to see a white ball even if it is 10 yards in front of you in the fairway.  I don't like losing a $4 ball or having to spend extra time looking for it just because it is only available in white.

    What if Pro V1 was a special order ball?  And you could order it in yellow

    I too would order the Pro V1 in yellow.  I purchased my Pro V's throught he loyalty program this past season.  I was planing on doing the same this season.  An option to order them in Yellow would be AWESOME!!

    Personally, I would most likely not use a yellow ball but I think it would look pretty cool on a new pro v!

    That is the biggest reason I play the Q-Star in Optic Yellow, I follow it so much easier than a white ball!

    The problem is promoting a premium ball to all serious golfers. The competition that promotes products based on driver swing speeds only has optic covers in the lower speed lines (is optic still a gimmick?). Surely, Titleist has marketing data on how much business they would gain - and lose, if the best of breed had an optic cover. So the Catch-22 is, it is good enough for us but most likely would hurt the brand/franchise if it came in an optic cover. In one of these threads, one TT member actually stated he wouldn't use a white Pro-V if it came in yellow. ..Beats me, his ball would still be white and still the best ball. That's Titleist's dilemma.

    We Baby Boomers represent a large portion of the population and I do see a good number of low handicappers playing yellow golf balls in tournaments due to their lack of ability to follow the golf ball. They are going to premium balls in other brands. Supply and demand dictates which types of balls manufacturers produce. Obviously, the numbers are not there for them to run a special line of yellow Provs. I am sure that the Marketing Department has done research on this issue. These other brands are far behind Titleist in sales and R&D. Being a disabled veteran, I can identify with your concerns and it not something to take lightly. The individual who said he would not use a Prov if it came in yellow kinda shows his concern more about the one than about benefiting the many. I am a Titleist loyalist period and I will continue to play the number one ball and will choose the one that works for me.

    		Jack - don't get me wrong. Even if they only offered optic as part of the loyalty program, I'd buy them by the boxful. Golf is a funny game. Traditions die hard. it took tennis balls less time to leave the white balls on the scrap heap. Looking at the demographics of the boomers - we're all over 50, there has to be a market for optic premium balls, and 3 other OEMs offer urethane optic balls. I just haven't found one close enough to replace my Pro-V1x on blue sky days.

    Don O - Just turned 50 and I prefer a yellow ball to a white one.  I agree with your income point.  In addition, mature golfers' eyesight tends to deteriorate over time.  Why not make a premium ball that is easier to see and find? 

    Fortunately, golf wise, I live in drought-stricken California.  I have a few rounds in this season and have not missed yellow balls.  However, there will be a time this season I wish I had yellow.  If Titleist markets a ball that improves every player's game, including high handicappers, then Titleist should expect some balls to go out of play, or at least be difficult to find.  The cynic in me says that is the plan; more lost balls equals more golf ball sales!

    I went to a local Team Titleist Pro V1 launch event in early February.  When asked about a yellow Pro V1, the Titleist rep said that Titleist has explored the idea but making a yellow ball would involve additional or different manufacturing processes.  Since the 2013 and 2015 Pro V1s are more durable because of an improved paint process, Titleist should research the necessary steps to bring a yellow Pro V1 to market. People complained enough about scuffing that Titleist improved the durability.  Maybe enough complaints about an easy to see optic Pro V1 will make it a reality.

    I am 50 plus and I love my prov1's. But as stated with age comes problems in keeping track of a white ball. I play NXT tour S in yellow 60%of the time especially when playing alone. I spend more money in a year on golf between me and keeping my grandson equipped than I dare admit. And I too would hit solely Prov1 if offered in Yellow. And while I hate saying it I will from time to time hit competitors offerings in yellow in search of a premium yellow ball and Cally is getting serious with the new Chrome. I really hope that Titleist realizes the need soon and I can start getting the preformance I want from a ball in a yellow color with ProV1 written across it.

    Hello fellow TT'ers,

         It seems like a lot of us would buy yellow Pro V's. I know I would be one. Here's hoping that sometime soon they produce a yellow Pro V. For now I will keep playing my white Pro V1x

    Another vote for yellow Pro V1s. As I get older it is harder to see the ball when it lands.

    There have been numerous requests in the past. Titleist has never officially commented if they ever would. Any number of folks with various visual acuity issues have said they'd rather buy a ProV instead of any other brand's urethane cover ball in optic yellow.

    Come on Titleist, please listen to your loyal supporters. There are dozens of comments across numerous threads requesting that an OPTIC YELLOW ball is released in the Pro V1 range. Please make it happen !!!

    Not sure what the issue is with Pro V1 in optic yellow.  I played Pro V1's all the time but have switched to the cally Chrome because it does come in optic yellow.  It's easier to follow the flight of the ball, MUCH easier to see when you get off the fairway, and performs well.

    Come on TITLEIST, why don't you listen to your loyal fans and give us Pro V1 and Pro V1x balls in OPTIC YELLOW. There are dozens of threads here requesting this so there is obviously demand out there.

    This thread began in March 2013, four years ago - still no ProV1 in yellow!

    Tired of waiting, I have moved on: playing the cally SuperSoft yellow and the yellow/black Truvis.

    Too bad, Titleist. You snooze, you lose. I had been playing Titleist for over 50 years. You lost me. I won't be back, unless and until the ProV1 goes yellow.
