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

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!
