The Volvik VIVID is the world's first and best-selling matte-finish colour golf ball — a true icon that combines explosive distance, soft feel, and outstanding on-course visibility. Designed for golfers with swing speeds of 70–100 mph, this premium 3-piece ball delivers a high launch angle, low driver spin, and precise short-game control, all wrapped in Volvik's patented UV-protected SF matte coating. This pack contains 12 vivid green golf balls — impossible to lose, impossible to ignore.
Volvik's patented SF (Special Finish) matte coating is what made the VIVID a legend in golf. Unlike traditional glossy covers, the matte surface reduces glare in bright sunlight, allowing golfers to track the ball more precisely throughout its entire flight. The UV-protection layer preserves the intensity of the colour round after round, resisting fading even under strong sunlight. The vivid green finish makes this ball stand out against fairways, rough, and sky alike — turning every shot into a high-visibility event. It is also this unique coating that gives the VIVID its distinctive soft-to-the-touch character at impact.
At the heart of the VIVID sits the oversized Nano-Bi Energy Core — engineered to maximise ball speed by converting the energy of impact with exceptional efficiency. The larger core diameter promotes a higher launch trajectory and reduces driver spin, which translates directly into more carry distance, particularly for players whose swing speeds fall in the 70–100 mph range. The core's design also underpins the ball's mid-soft compression rating of 75, delivering a responsive, lively feel without sacrificing control. More energy at impact means longer drives with no compromise on workability through the bag.
The VIVID's three-layer architecture — energy core, HPF inner mantle layer, and ionomer cover — is precisely engineered to deliver different performance characteristics depending on the club in hand. With the driver, the ball responds with low spin and a mid-to-high trajectory for maximum distance. On approach shots and around the green, the inner mantle activates higher wedge spin and a softer feel, giving golfers the confidence to attack pins. This versatile construction makes the VIVID a capable all-rounder, equally at home in recreational rounds and competitive play.
The outer cover of the VIVID is crafted from a soft Surlyn ionomer compound that balances durability with feel. Surlyn is renowned for its cut and scuff resistance, making the VIVID a ball that holds up over many rounds without losing its performance characteristics. At the same time, the formulation is tuned for a notably soft response off the face, delivering a satisfying sensation on putts, chips, and pitch shots. The cover works in synergy with the 322-dimple aerodynamic pattern to produce consistent, stable flight from tee to green.
Every Volvik VIVID features the V·A·S — Volvik Alignment System — a built-in visual reference printed on the ball's surface. Off the tee, golfers can align the V·A·S arrow to the target line for a more consistent setup. On the putting green, the alignment aid doubles as a precise guide, helping you aim the face and stroke the ball on the intended line without needing to mark the ball with a sharpie. This thoughtful addition is particularly valuable for golfers working on consistency, removing one of the variables from their pre-shot routine and building greater confidence over every putt.
The VIVID's 322-dimple cover design is engineered to produce a consistent, penetrating ball flight that resists wind deflection and maintains trajectory stability. Each dimple is precisely sized and positioned to optimise lift and drag throughout the ball's flight arc, promoting the mid-to-high trajectory that maximises carry for moderate swing speeds. The dimple pattern works seamlessly with the matte SF coating — a combination that gives the VIVID its characteristic aerodynamic consistency regardless of conditions. The result is a ball that flights predictably, lands softly, and stops where you need it.
