    As of right now ,no. I asked the ball guru's when they were in Orlando last month. "The composition changes when the color is infused and it becomes a different ball " to paraphrase . Just have to wait.

    That is interesting. If that is the reason, I could understand it. Same for thinking that the forecasted demand might not justify the the offering.

    But this subject has been introduced several times, and we are not getting an official answer. If it truly is technical, with performance tradeoffs, tell us. We can handle the news.

    "the composition changes" ?? that's a lie. Titleist just doesn't see the profit in coming out with a yellow ProV. The reality is they inject the color white into the cover. Why would injecting the color yellow be any different ?

    I have poor eyesight and find yellow balls are the best for me. Sorry ProV.

    Believe it or not, the demand does not outweigh the added cost to make the yellow balls. 10% of the market place looks for a yellow ball ... not a lot when you think about it. That's why you see the few manufacturers that make a yellow ball, there are only a few styles of that particular ball made. Look at the demographics. Who wants/needs a yellow ball? The senior player having trouble seeing/following the ball. Do those players really benefit from the Pro V1/Vx anymore? (They should if they took the time to get fitted with the proper ball by starting from 100 yards and in. But that's another topic.) These players are looking for any added benefit off the tee, more distance as you get older is what they all look for. So they look for your DT's, NXT's in yellow. JMHO though.

    Well to tell you the truth I need them. I am 47 with 6 yrs past diagnosed with pigmentary glaucoma in both eyes. I have lost 80% eye sight in my right eye and 10% in my left. Luckily for me I am right hand golfer and look out my left side at address. But in trailing my drive and long iron shots it is very difficult to follow the ball. A spotter is there to help. I love the Pro V 1x and have played it for many moons. But I have to play NXT's to get yellow. I'm in the tropics and play 5 days a week, can't imagine the day I won't be able to play. And there are slot like me with various sight issues that love to see Pro V1 /1x yellow.
