The Volvik VIVID is the world's first and #1 selling matte-finish color golf ball, and the vibrant yellow edition brings that same proven performance to golfers who demand maximum visibility on the course. Engineered for maximum visibility, soft feel, and explosive distance, VIVID delivers confidence off the tee and precision around the green — tee to green. The 3-piece construction with a 75 compression rating is ideal for golfers with swing speeds of 70–100 mph, producing a mid-to-high ball flight with low driver spin and higher wedge spin for pin-point green control. Each pack contains 12 golf balls in striking matte yellow for easy tracking in all light conditions.
The patented SF (Soft Feel) matte coating is what set Volvik VIVID apart from every other golf ball on the market when it launched as the world's first matte-finish golf ball. The UV-protected formula eliminates the glare that plagues conventional high-gloss balls, allowing golfers to focus more sharply on the ball at address and through impact. In flight the bold yellow colour stands out against blue sky, tree lines, and overcast skies alike, making tracking far easier — especially in low-light or dawn/dusk conditions. On the ground, the non-reflective matte surface remains visible in deep rough and wet grass where shiny balls simply disappear. The coating is engineered to resist scuffing and fading across an entire round of play.
At the heart of the VIVID is an oversized Nano-Bi Energy Core engineered to convert as much kinetic energy as possible into ball speed at the moment of impact. The enlarged core diameter compared to standard golf balls means more compression area is engaged at impact, producing a higher initial velocity and a longer carry distance for moderate swing speeds. The highly resilient core material rebounds efficiently, minimising energy loss and delivering consistently explosive distance even on mis-hits where the clubface deflects slightly off-centre. For golfers with swing speeds in the 70–100 mph range, this translates into maximum distance without needing to generate tour-level power.
The VIVID's three-layer architecture combines the large energy core with an HPF (High-Performance Film) inner layer and a Soft Surlyn ionomer outer cover, each component tuned for a specific performance contribution. The inner layer acts as a transition zone that amplifies the core's energy while simultaneously controlling spin at the driver — the result is low driver spin for a penetrating, stable ball flight that maximises distance. Around the green, the interaction between the HPF layer and the ionomer cover promotes higher wedge spin, giving golfers the short-game control and precision needed for accurate pin attacks. This balanced spin profile — lower off the driver, higher on approach shots — makes the VIVID a genuinely versatile ball rather than a one-dimensional distance ball.
Volvik's proprietary Alignment Tracking System (V·A·S) is printed on every VIVID ball to serve as a precision visual aid in two critical areas of the game. On the tee, aligning the printed line with your intended target line gives you a clear reference point to promote square clubface delivery and straighter drives. On the putting green, the alignment mark helps golfers set their putter face accurately behind the ball and track the ball's roll with confidence along the chosen line. This simple but effective feature gives recreational and competitive golfers alike a repeatable pre-shot routine tool that costs nothing extra and takes only seconds to use on every hole.
The VIVID's 322 symmetrical dimple design has been engineered to optimise the aerodynamic lift and drag forces that govern ball flight. With 322 precisely sized and positioned dimples, the cover creates a consistent, turbulent boundary layer around the ball that reduces drag and promotes a stable, high-trajectory flight path from tee to landing zone. The result is a mid-to-high ball flight that makes the most of the energy stored in the core, giving golfers extra carry distance even into a headwind. The dimple geometry also contributes to the ball's consistency from shot to shot — each ball in the dozen is produced to the same tight tolerances so performance is repeatable.
The outer cover of the VIVID is crafted from a soft-grade Surlyn ionomer blend that strikes the balance between durability and feel. Surlyn is renowned in the golf ball industry for its resilience against cuts and scuffs, ensuring the ball holds up across 18 holes of regular play. At the same time, Volvik has tuned the material's hardness to provide a soft, satisfying sound and sensation at impact — qualities that recreational golfers particularly appreciate on chip shots, pitches, and putts. The cover's medium-to-high spin response around the greens complements the low-spin driver performance, giving the VIVID a well-rounded character that suits a broad range of playing styles and skill levels.
