Tour Vision – ONE – WB Prototype
a White ball, with blue over-stamping on it, blue crown, no number.

WOW!!! what a ball.
As good as a provvy, in my own opinion.
Long? Ooooh yeah!
Spin? Full swing…ooooh yeah! 3/4 or 1/2 swing…oooooh yeah! Sand…ooooh yeah! very nice predictable “vision roll-out” on little chippies.
Putting? good player out of luck. Good soft feel, nice distance control, pity about the operator working out the lines.

Driving distance (GPS measured) today was 12m longer than the last 5 rounds (which were played with 2013 provvy). No particularly outstanding long-bombs to distort the figures, just good and consistently long. No massive swings through the air and the two deliberate shape-shots went where they were supposed to.

Good soft feel off the irons, no judder, no click, just a nice soft feel of a comfortable strike.

Full swing irons pulled up very, very nicely: about 1 to 1.5m from the pitch mark with a 5-iron and less than 1m with shorter clubs. Yes, the greens were somewhat soft but behaviour was about the same as the provvy.

Putting: nice and soft (I use a scotty, no insert) with pretty good distance control. I have gotten into a phase recently of not being able to see the lines and missing putts by lips and teeny margins and today was no different, but the 12-15” past the hole was consistent today over a full variation of putting distances. Lovely feel and straight roll.

I have not hit the 2013 ProV1x (which they reckon is a few metres longer than the ProV1) but I will be hitting the VisionTour1 again tomorrow and I will be testing my opinions, as formed after one round with the ball.

At this stage of testing I reckon it is as good as (if not better than) the provvy in terms of:
drive distance (and minimum driver side-spin)
full swing feel
full-iron stop
wedge stop
sand stop
putter feel.

AND it is obedient “stop” (and it did) “get there” (and it did) “miss it” (and it did). The only time it did not do as it was told was when I hit a bad shot and I was heard to say “ahh, f**k me dead”...and don’t ya reckon I’m grateful for that??!

I reckon this ball is a winner.

Great round Boz congratz…..

I had my first sub par round about 5 weeks ago on Maryborough with a 68 off the stick and actually 2 putted for a 3 on the normally Par 4 18th hole…

Oh did I forget to mention that the course was only 14 holes and the 18th was played from the 150m marker due to floods :).

BTW I have never lost any ball due to crows, Maryborough Crows are better educated maybe :)

Hi AB and Peg,

Thanks,,, yes we played 18 social but my sons are looking for
handicaps so normal rules but the main issue was only an 8 club
set mix as we play with small pencil bags, and took only 2 and a half
hours to play the short course up at Nth Turramurra here in
Sydney.

I am having some real issues coming back to playing regular
golf with the very slow speed of play nowadays, 4 to 5 hours
is a very draining experience.

Hmmmm
Me thinks he more so wants to boast of his sub par round than give a ball update :)
Was it using your half set Boz? And congrats on the round (insert clapping hand emotioncon here)

Hi Guys, yes a crow proof ball is part of my R&D program.

Having said that I have been playing a lot of golf this summer
later in the day, mainly after 4 with two of my sons without one
lost UV ball with perhaps a few crows that come and go.. I even had a crow swoop down on an X4UV last week and knock it
around a little before taking off,,,,

I was so relieved as this same lucky ball has now had 8 full rounds
with the lowest score being a I under today, my first sub par round
in 15 years and the ball still looks good.

Cheers,
Boz

Well done that man well done in dead, now if you have finished with that successful golf swing send the flocking thing north please….. I know how to deal with those inmentionables

Boz I can see an opening here if you can make a Crow Free ball….

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

The only way I’ve seen the crow problem countered is with a cart. The cart guy hits and drives up to his ball. Everyone else then hits and cart guy races out to scare them off if they try. Not perfect.

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

Yea, they’ve been taking the white balls as well at the courses I play at, they haven’t been UV exclusive!!

This is how I’ve been testing the UVX4 and the UV888. Sacrificing any old ball to the crows off the drive, and then using the test balls from the fairway where it’s easier to chase them off if they ‘go on the attack’!!

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

The crows were out a few weeks ago and got 15 balls between three of us. None were yellow and once we knew they were ‘working’ the holes nothing but crap balls were played. They’re not fussy. They will however generally go for the shiniest one first.

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

I have had 3 UV balls in the two lots I have received from Boz and two of them disappeared after 1 shot each to the Crows and the third lasted a par 4 and then a drive on the next hole. They are simply not an option for me. Too costly to lose in the middle of a fairway.

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

Sooooooo, has anyone been golfing??
Anyone got anything to report??

Me, I’m getting scared off by crows!!
Everywhere I go there’s frigin hundreds of them!! I’m finding it difficult to give the UVX4 and UV888 a real go crack with the driver, cause I don’t wana see me go flying off.

But from pretty much hitting just irons with them, I can tell they are both straight ball…. They don’t seem to move at all!!
I do like them both with wedges though, got some good stop on both of them.

From limited driver exposure, they both seem longer than all the other UV versions, it its really hard to get a guide….

(this was basically just a blatant attempt to get this thread back to the top of the page really!!). ;)

Balls I will leave to the main man

Glove…... I am impressed, it is a step forward, na a leap forward. If the old version was the best, well you will be best pleased with the latest offering, no questions…..

That Blue Ball is really good and like you I am waiting…....

Hello fellow Vision ball strikers, I have not been in this thread for some time due to weather and generally lack of time.

I don’t seem to be able to get any practice time in these days to do my 6 hole testing.

Soon I will have to order some new balls from Boz, just wondering what has evolved over the past few months.

I see there are new gloves /raises eyebrow the old one is the best glove I have ever had do the new ones compare?

My main balls to play are the FTL and BOB ball…. I know that there were some changes happening soon but I’m not sure if it has occurred yet.

Also I did test out a ball that was a very pale blue it was a fantastic ball and I was really looking forward to it being released by Boz…

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

Received my box of goodies from Boz this morning. Can’t wait to get out on the course for a hit, and now my scores are coming down with a couple of rounds recently in the low 90’s I am going to play the one type of ball and see what happens. Thanks Wayne.

Hi Guys,,,,

X-Grip 2.0 – Wet Weather play idea

I have had some feedback from a club pro Test Pilot in North
NSW that when he has to play in the wet the glove is better when
you make sure it is fully damp , partially towel down any excess
water before each shot and they will work better especially the
internal side of the palm material that ill work more like the cotton
gloves I used to use years ago.

Cheers,
Boz

this ^^

We played in an ISG up at Cessnock in atrocious conditions last Friday, seriously didn’t stop pissing down the whole time (we only made it through 9 holes!!).
I’ve haven’t played in conditions like that in years, and last time I did we were just wrapping hankies around the grips with a fair bit of success. But this time, all I had to do was towel down the grip (obviously was still gona be wet) and the new white glove was awesome in it…... Did not slip at all at any stage!!

Not that I like playing in those kind of conditions, but it was a little more enjoyable knowing the club wasn’t slipping all I’ve the place in my hands!!

Big fan of the white glove!!

Have you come here to play Jesus, with the leopards in your head

So it looks like its white for the weekend. Initial thoughts is that it feels really good

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

I just got the white glove and it looks great and feels awesome.

Topic: Vision Golf Ball Test

Just a quick note – I have a number of new balls to trial, but as our greens have just been cored recently, I am holding off until things get back closer to a normal state.

Afternoon fellow trendsetters, after looking at my Vision Glove I decided it was time to talk to the main man about re-ordering. I said i want 2 please, he said I now have 3 different colours and now I have to pick and choose as to which one to wear…... I will be as flash as Michael Jackson, if only i could play the game all would be good…

Other glove is standard colour
