Volvik “White Color” S3 Golf Ball

Ya gotta love how funny the language barrier can be sometimes. Case in point is this review of the “White Color” S3 Golf Balls from Volvik. Volvik, I believe a South Korean company, is a maker of very colorful golf balls. I’ve seen Volvik’s transparent models, brilliantly colored models, chrome models… you name it. I guess when you make so many varied and unique colors, you have to call the white ball a white ball.

Features

The white color of this ball is vibrant and glows in light unlike other golf balls due to a hint of pearlescent blue color mixed in. The ball is easier to spot on the course than a typical other white ball.

White isn’t the only feature of this golf ball. This is actually a “tour” quality ball, meaning it is high performance with high spin and feel. The outer layer or cover of the ball is made of the material most top golf balls use, urethane. Urethane is where the ball gets its stopping and short game spin and softer feel around the greens.

The inner cover is the 2nd layer of three in this ball. This layer provides some distance qualities and also helps produce controlling spin.

Finally the core or center of the ball, yes like the core of the earth, is the power center. The elasticity or rebounding effect of the core gives the ball its distance and solid feel off the driver.

On The Course

I’ve enjoyed playing many rounds with the White Color ball. I poke fun at the name and tell my friends who are looking for my ball in the bushes to look for the “white color” one. It provides us some clean entertainment.

Seriously though, the ball performs very well in both the distance and control categories. It is a solid all-around ball.

Feel-wise the ball is a little harder and heavier than balls I typically play, but that is likely why the ball is so durable. Despite the soft “tour” cover these last forever. You’re more likely to lose one in the bushes or a lake long before you could wear one out.

Conclusion

I’d rank the White Color ball’s performance at about 80-90% of Titleist ProV1’s, Bridgestone B330’s, and other high-end golf balls. Close but not equal. The White Color S3 is a solid golf ball for mid to lower handicap golfers.

Volvik “White Color” S3 Golf Ball

Did you know that Volvik, the #1 maker of colored golf balls, actually makes a white ball?  I didn’t until I found two dozen waiting on my front porch yesterday.

Volvik’s S3 “White Color” (yes they need help with the Korean to English thing) golf ball is a high performance, 3-layer ball with a urethane cover.  In other words, a ball which on a basic materials and construction standpoint should compete with most “tour” balls on the market.

I’ll be putting this ball into play as soon as I can, but that may be a while.  Winter has arrived here in northern Utah and most courses, if open, are frozen.
