For my Old eyes (68), I prefer a Bright Orange (Spring/Summer) or Bright Green (Fall/Winter) ball due to foliage color and change at those times of the year. I agree that white balls are hard to pick up in flight at my age now, but the other two are so much easier for me to track in the air and see on the ground! Good Video Gabe. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
One of first things I do when I arrive at a golf course is to check the color of the practice range balls. If the practice area is near the 1st and 9th tee I will use a different color ball for those two fairways then go back to my game ball on the rest of the fairways. I always carry an orange, yellow and white ball not only because of range balls but also to not confuse my ball with my playing partners golf ball. I always play a different color ball than those in my group.
Love Legato balls!!! I have never purchased yellow ones before though. I have played other yellow brands and have found it tougher to find the ball in the rough. Especially in the fall. Enjoyed the review. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hey Gabe. Haven't really had many chances to watch any golf videos lately. I wanted to check in to wish you Merry Christmas, along with all of the other viewers too. Also, with a little luck, maybe I might see you at the PGA Show that is back again at the Convention Center in January.
Nice video Gabe! I have been using Legato balls for some time now, ever since you started using them. I had been using Kirkland balls before that, but I like the feel of the Legato balls off the clubs. I have to use the yellow balls mainly because I see them better as they are coming down from flight. Also depends on lighting conditions which I usually see the yellow balls better. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!🎄🎉
66 here. I use yellow Legato most of the year (thanks for the recommendation, Gabe), but agree it's easier to find white ones when there are a bunch of leaves on the ground. And this time of year I'll sometimes switch to white ones when I'm trying to finish a round at dusk, as I find it easier to see them both in the air and on the ground.
I don’t doubt that you feel the white golf balls are easier to see at dusk than the yellow, but my experiences when I was in my teens and 20’s and played a lot of rounds that ended after dusk and nearly full darkness (albeit in the suburbs so some light on the course from nearby houses, clubhouse, etc.) , I used the yellow golf balls for those last couple of holes and felt I saw the yellow better in really low light conditions. That was a lot of years ago, so I might agree with you now that my eyes are older. There is a lot of variables for this topic. (It is pretty sweet to be the last person or the last group on the course, especially if you are walking and no one is waiting for you to return a riding cart.)
@scottdean27 the yellow ones are easier to follow in the air, but i think it's easier to spot the white ones on the ground when it's so dark that you can't follow a ball more than maybe 50 yards. And yeah, I walk except on a couple of courses I play very infrequently that are very hilly, or have a long haul between the front and back 9.
67 years old, cataract surgery pending. Been playing yellow the past 2 years. Willing to sacrifice distance for spin, 2 piece to 3 piece. I went to the Legato yellow after seeing Gabe's earlier Legato review. Just an all around terrific golf ball!
I like the yellows in the spring, and whites in fall, it is crazy how the visuals in the way the sun plays with the grass and leaf cover on the course.being 43 I get ya. My fav color was Red Vice Pros, I know Callaway has red but I hate the feeling of hitting Matte balls. I almost never lost the vice’s except in the woods or water.
Agree, matte balls are a strange one for me to get used to. I must say, red is the absoute hardest for me to see / find. I really struggle with red on green for some reason.
@@LetsPlayThru Same, but that's because I'm red/green colorblind. This relates to something that I've found that most reviews of rangefinders neglect, or at least don't highlight well: color of the readout/display.

My golf spy usually finds that yellow balls don’t spin quite as much and fly a little shorter, but they don’t really know why. It’s not enough for me to see the difference. I use the yellow balls, easier for me to track in the air.
First of all, I very much dislike the Kirkland ball. It doesn’t seem to go all that far and it’s hard. The Legato ball is completely different. I would compare it to a TaylorMade Tour Response, but cheaper. It’s got a nice cover that’s durable. I had also tried the Cut Blue, and that was another terrible ball. The cover of that one would have pieces of it shaving off every time you hit it. The Legato definitely doesn’t exhibit that problem. The Legato is now my new gamer ball. It does everything I want, is durable, soft on putting, spins good, and it’s inexpensive. I just bought 4 boxes of white ones for next season. If you like the feel of a TP5 or a Tour Response, try the Legato. I think you’ll like them. I may grab a couple of yellow ones as well.
Thanks for doing this. I have played ProV yellow for several years and have not looked back. I just see it so much better. Age 57. There is no difference for me in distance or other aspects like spin. Thanks!
I played the Founders Club in Sarasota today. I figured I’d lose enough white balls that I’d be forced to buy some more Lagatos and I’d get yellows for my own test. But I only lost one so I will have to wait. Yes. I judge success in how many balls I lose.
@ Great as always. I tend to enjoy Robert Trent Jones courses and this one is a joy to play. The best part is playing with my dad and son. My game was mediocre (43/45) but the round was fun.
My go to ball for sure. I have noticed no difference between these and other similar higher priced balls. Love these. Tried both the yellow and white and no difference noticed. Great review Gabe.
TP5x yellow his vis for me. They shine like the sun at the right angle in flight, soo easy to track. Ball carries a fee yards more than anything but a Seed SD01(which is another good distance ball). I hit high, towering shots, so holding a green is no issue for me at all. Every one hits different, so it is important to find the right ball for your swing/hitting style. Great video as always.
I’m 71 in a few days and I see the yellow balls a lot better. I will have cataract surgery before next golf season, so I will consider white next summer if I see better. I do like the yellow ball better. I’ll try the Legato also. Thanks for the discount code.
The cover on a yellow ball just feels a bit different to me. Not nearly as bad as matte balls but still makes me wonder about spin and if the ball is wet. Not fair to give a point for the first putt made on scoring system. The second ball at least deserves a putt like all other shots taken. Really skews the tallies when putts are given a point and no second putt allowed when first putt is made.
It comes down to what ball you can see better on clear days, overcast days, bright mornings, or dusk. I recently tried out the multi colored balls from srixon and had a really hard time seeing the mat finished yellow and blue, yellow, and red balls. But for a winter ball they were really good.
As a colorblind golfer it's yellow for me. Someone bought me a dozen orange balls thinking they would be easier to see. They turned out to be one hit wonders. One hit and I wondered where it went. 😂 12 shots and I was all out of orange golf balls.
I have moved from TP5 to Vice Pro Plus shade and I love the two tone colour scheme, I love the slightly firmer feel. But not sure I would play it in the fall as the two tone colour and falling leaves will look very similar. IMO the colour of the paint on the ball makes no difference, it is all about how easy or not the ball is for you to see.
I do believe on most days, a yellow ball is a bit easier to see/find on course or parts of the course. That said, this year I started playing white balls more often and didn’t seem to have an issue tracking them in the air. Plus a couple of the ball types I was gaming this year only come in white. I’m pretty sure that a long time ago, the theory of the white color golf balls being longer and generally a better ball held true. I’m thinking that was probably mostly in part that the yellow balls of the day were mostly painted yellow. Now that it seems that more manufacturers are going with a yellow dye and not using paint as often, I don’t think there’s as much of a difference like there once was. Yet, many still seem to think that the old theory is still accurate.
I keep a bunch of different colors in my bag. Really like the vice balls. Lost the best ball I've ever hit on a fairway and bought the brightest balls available after that. Also easier to find them in fall with leaves all over the course
66YO and my eyes are not what they were when I was playing in my 30's for sure even with contact lenses. In the Summer I play white Legato as the sun is high and no leaves on the fairways. But Fall when the sun is lower and leaves are around I find the yellow Legato much easier to follow in flight as well as to find the ball off the tee. I find the white balls blend in with the leaves like camouflage where a yellow ball will stick out like a sore thumb in comparison.
Here in Ireland white ball all daylight long, expect for the Autumn when you need a yellow or non white ball, leaf fall! Plus any non white ball for lower light play time. My vision is not terrible but a yellow ball really helps at low light.
43 Here. I usually play those Srixon balls that are half blue, half yellow. I tried playing Volviks that were blue, but the things felt like rocks coming off the clubface for me. I also made the huge mistake of trying red balls. ... I lost most of those easilly in wooded areas.
I would prefer Yellow, but my sunglass lenses are brown(best for golf) which washes out the yellow. A bright orange is better for me. When the light is low, or raining, yellow is going to help most golfers a lot.
I struggle to see yellow balls against foliage when in flight. Against the sky I also struggle in bright sunlight to see yellow balls. I have never had this issue with white balls.
Great video. Gabe could you cut open and do a heads up on the taylormade speedsoft ink and the speedsoft white ball. They sure feel and play different to me
First off… there’s no way a human can hit 2 balls and judge distance and spin. We just can’t reproduce our swing like that. That said , you really should play the 2 balls separately and record the distance ,fairways hit, green hit, and length of putt(s). At the end you would have better stats to compare plus if you shot a better score with one or the other. As a golfer for over 56 years and to choose between a yellow or white would be first visibility. 1. Can I see it better. 2. Distance off the tee. 3 Fairways hit. 4. GIR, and 5. Total putts. If I scored better with white, I’d play white and visa versa with yellow!
those darn Legato balls are 49.99 a doz on Canadian Amazon will maybe still try a dozen great video Gabe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year cheers from Vulcan Canada
I use yellow prov-1s as my game ball and while I don't think it matters one iota score wise I think they're a bit easier to see and there's less of a chance some hack will hit my ball thinking it's their because far fewer people play yellow.
There is NO difference between white or yellow. It's just a visualisation preference. I've been using the yellow AVX now for about 4 years and now I'm in my late 40s I will stay yellow. Just easier to see 😊
I have ‘vision issues’ as I only see properly out of my left eye. Yellow / Neon balls def look ‘larger’ to me. I’ve tried a whole series of manufacturers. Vice Pro Neon are the best for me in summer and their amazingly priced Tour Yellow in colder months. No real drop off in performance to white balls in my opinion.
(48) I use yellows because I find them easier to track, also they seem to pop more when I'm on a fairway lie. I also occasionally use pink but lose sight in flight probably 2 out of 10 shots, I'm yet to see (no pun intended) how my eyes go with orange balls.
But you also know if you are using a colored ball it increasing the probability that it's your ball...especially looking in the woods and there are a bunch of white balls.
All about yellow or green ball. But a few of my preferred golf balls (Precept Laddie, Wilson Boost) only offer white. I will say summer time I can deal with white a ton better. (A little over half a Century old.)
Yellows suffer no issues compared to white. I now play yellow and they are sooo much easier to see and find. The balls that in many tests including my own that are inferior are Matte finish. Feel was about the same but performance lacked in literally every other catagory. Tried 3 diff brands and it was same across the board. Less distance, spin, apex, dispersion, ect. My believe is that flat finish fights the air whereas gloss glides more easily.
Play yellow mostly although I do have some orange and red ones s well. Green is the only color I don’t like. Orange is tough in the fall with the leaves.
Merry Christmas Gabe to you and your family. All the best for 2025. The easiest color for me to see was light blue Nitro golf ball. Nitro sold a multi color pack and I have vision issues so I just wanted to find out what color was better for me. White works for me.
That’s my consideration to as in France there’s more orange and yellow leaves and in Spain more white silver. So yellow for Spain and white in France for me
@ I have the multicolor white and fluorescent yellow ones. I may give those legato a try. I’m not too fond of spending 50 bucks a dozen for the Z-Stars… golf is a cruel sport lol.
Just a quick concern. I bought this ball partly because of your recommendation. Now I find out that "Legato loves Lets Play Thru" and I can get a discount on Amazon with your code. Hmmm...just how unbiased are you?
Yellow balls may technically be easier to see, but I am so used to seeing white balls, I find white balls easier to see in the air, on the grass, and in the woods.
If you relaxed your wrists and cracked the whip with your swing, you'd gain at least 10mph on your swing. I suggest watching some Paul Wilson videos on that subject. I'm 59 and people are amazed that what looks like easy swings from me are 115mph and up.
Well surprise surprise the colour makes no difference! Why would it? The biggest variable is the player. As for visuals in the rough white will show up much better as yellow as it is closer in the spectrum to green. I am 67 with poor eyesight and white is much easier to see. Possible that you might see a yellow ball better in white waste area but most of the time we play on a green surface. So white will be easier to see.
I am team yellow balls, UNLESS, there is a range on the left of a hole with yellow range balls, then I switch to white. The worst color ball is the red ones, they are terrible to see.
Always yellow I can’t see white in the air most of the time. I’m short sighted and glare is a problem even in less sunny conditions. I’ve never been for a ball fitting but the so called experts recommend it 😂
Got a dozen legatos just due to your videos…. They were terrible. Nothing like a premium taylormade, callaway or teitlest. £30 also is no cheap. I’d prefer the Wilson triad at the same price which is a much better ball
Funny, you say that. I think they're so close to the Triads. That was the ball I was playing before I switched to these. Triad is now $35 which is a bummer.
What happened to your MGI Zip Navigator? You went back to a basic push cart? Why? Honestly, playing a yellow ball makes sense when your playing competitors are all playing a white ball. Nothing worse that everyone hitting to the same area, and you go around trying to identify whose ball is who. If everyone is playing white, then I'll play a yellow ball. Same deal with ball brand. I've had everyone in my group playing Titleist, and it absolutely drives me nuts trying to identify balls when everyone is hitting the same thing. I'll switch brands just to avoid confusion or the possibility of hitting the wrong ball, which is a 2 stroke penalty, which I would prefer not to assess myself for just being lazy and stupid.
Is this just a scam to promote the particular make of ball featured in the video. How can the colour of the ball make a difference if the balls are otherwise identical.
Not sure where you are getting 160 from, but I hit 9 iron on hole 2 and it was 146 yards to the pin. I hit a 6 iron about 185 normally, but that wind was howling into me on hole 3 and I hit it slightly fat on top of it.
For my Old eyes (68), I prefer a Bright Orange (Spring/Summer) or Bright Green (Fall/Winter) ball due to foliage color and change at those times of the year. I agree that white balls are hard to pick up in flight at my age now, but the other two are so much easier for me to track in the air and see on the ground! Good Video Gabe. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for doing this comparison! At 76 the colored balls add to the game for me at this point! Nice work appreciate it
I usually use yellow balls because no one else does. But yellow is also usually easier to spot in the grass, but harder to follow in the sky

Play the yellow Lagato and the green Vice both are great balls without the big T price nice job once again Gabe
Orange in the spring and summer, white in the fall, the courses I play on yellow works but blenders in with the dandelions lol
Oh yeah, that would be a chore to find!
All about yellow or green ball. But a few of my preferred golf balls (Precept Laddie, Wilson Boost) only offer white. I will say summer time I can deal with white a ton better. (A little over half a Century old.)
Yellows suffer no issues compared to white. I now play yellow and they are sooo much easier to see and find.
The balls that in many tests including my own that are inferior are Matte finish. Feel was about the same but performance lacked in literally every other catagory. Tried 3 diff brands and it was same across the board. Less distance, spin, apex, dispersion, ect. My believe is that flat finish fights the air whereas gloss glides more easily.
Play yellow mostly although I do have some orange and red ones s well. Green is the only color I don’t like. Orange is tough in the fall with the leaves.
Merry Christmas Gabe to you and your family. All the best for 2025. The easiest color for me to see was light blue Nitro golf ball. Nitro sold a multi color pack and I have vision issues so I just wanted to find out what color was better for me. White works for me.
Merry Christmas, Wayne! Wow, light blue, that's another color I often struggle with. Interesting that everyone seems to see things differently.
Vice Pro Plus green! Like it a lot.
Once Fall starts here in the midwest, I put the yellow balls away. They tend to blend in to the fallen leaves.
That’s my consideration to as in France there’s more orange and yellow leaves and in Spain more white silver. So yellow for Spain and white in France for me
I use the best of both worlds. That being Srixon Z-Star golf balls.😏
Which color?
@ I have the multicolor white and fluorescent yellow ones. I may give those legato a try. I’m not too fond of spending 50 bucks a dozen for the Z-Stars… golf is a cruel sport lol.
I prefer to play with orange
Invalid promo code.
Just a quick concern. I bought this ball partly because of your recommendation. Now I find out that "Legato loves Lets Play Thru" and I can get a discount on Amazon with your code. Hmmm...just how unbiased are you?
Yellow balls may technically be easier to see, but I am so used to seeing white balls, I find white balls easier to see in the air, on the grass, and in the woods.
I play yellow titleist true feel golf balls. I’m only 35 but love being able to find my ball and track it through the air easier.
If you relaxed your wrists and cracked the whip with your swing, you'd gain at least 10mph on your swing. I suggest watching some Paul Wilson videos on that subject. I'm 59 and people are amazed that what looks like easy swings from me are 115mph and up.
13 minutes to pick between two colours…….
I’d hate to be stood behind you at the bar waiting for you to make your mind up for what beer to drink…
have you SEEN beer/bourbon youtube lately? half an hour about a single bottle!
@@zakkbeardand I bet you can’t get to smell/taste it through the screen either.
What’s the world coming to….
I like the legato balls but they arent any cheaper than big name brands in Canada
I find the cover on yellow balls to be generally less durable than white ones.
That's interesting. Might be worth further investigation.
Yellow is better. Easier to find when I hook them onto the driving range on the first hole.
For me it matters. I only play yellow or green. I don’t see the white ones as well
Yellow. It is scientifically proven. As Golf Ball Addict. He knows.
I’ve gone yellow all times. Just plain easier to see and is always know which is mine.
44? Damn, I'm getting old. I'm 65 and have a son close to your age. I don't like it!
Callaway matte red for me, only ball I can see in flight and very hard to lose.
Well surprise surprise the colour makes no difference! Why would it? The biggest variable is the player. As for visuals in the rough white will show up much better as yellow as it is closer in the spectrum to green. I am 67 with poor eyesight and white is much easier to see. Possible that you might see a yellow ball better in white waste area but most of the time we play on a green surface. So white will be easier to see.
I got my first Ace with a yellow ball, so I'm bias.
To me they feel.different lff a golf club. Maybe its just in my head but it does.
Code for Amazon does not work
BRO!!...where have I been??? 100,000 subs!!?? Your'e freak'in blow'in up!! 2025 is your year!! Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks my friend. Merry Christmas to you!!
Yellow for me at 70 plus. Easier to see and differensiate with other players.
Yellow ball for me, find is easier to see.
I am team yellow balls, UNLESS, there is a range on the left of a hole with yellow range balls, then I switch to white. The worst color ball is the red ones, they are terrible to see.
Always yellow I can’t see white in the air most of the time. I’m short sighted and glare is a problem even in less sunny conditions. I’ve never been for a ball fitting but the so called experts recommend it 😂
Got a dozen legatos just due to your videos…. They were terrible. Nothing like a premium taylormade, callaway or teitlest. £30 also is no cheap. I’d prefer the Wilson triad at the same price which is a much better ball
Funny, you say that. I think they're so close to the Triads. That was the ball I was playing before I switched to these. Triad is now $35 which is a bummer.
100,000 well done
Only LIME GREEN for me. My Vice Pro balls are not yellow.
Yellow
What happened to your MGI Zip Navigator? You went back to a basic push cart? Why? Honestly, playing a yellow ball makes sense when your playing competitors are all playing a white ball. Nothing worse that everyone hitting to the same area, and you go around trying to identify whose ball is who. If everyone is playing white, then I'll play a yellow ball. Same deal with ball brand. I've had everyone in my group playing Titleist, and it absolutely drives me nuts trying to identify balls when everyone is hitting the same thing. I'll switch brands just to avoid confusion or the possibility of hitting the wrong ball, which is a 2 stroke penalty, which I would prefer not to assess myself for just being lazy and stupid.
I play red
Yellow Nitro. I think they're green, but I'll say yellow.
Is this just a scam to promote the particular make of ball featured in the video. How can the colour of the ball make a difference if the balls are otherwise identical.
Oddly the promo code did not work 🤷♂️
it may have expired :(
Bad comparison you not hitting them the same .
White I lose the yellow in the air
160 9 iron and 6 iron from 170 but short! Hmmmm?
Not sure where you are getting 160 from, but I hit 9 iron on hole 2 and it was 146 yards to the pin. I hit a 6 iron about 185 normally, but that wind was howling into me on hole 3 and I hit it slightly fat on top of it.
Maybe he was talking simulator numbers, but, I believe you were hitting an 8 iron there.
So unscientific
Those legato balls are junk
Those balls are trash
