B-ES Balls

  Just wanted to inquire why the color versions of this ball are priced almost three times the white ones.

  May just be an entry error ?

  Sadly, no.

  All of the golf balls for sale in the pro shop are priced this way.  The more popular colors are always priced higher.

  The only difference is the standard freebies.. they are always white and they are always free.

  Peace.

  I understand that the color balls cost more in every version of balls but with these the colors are triple the amount of the white. Use the price range for the B-XD and you will see what i mean. Thanks for the reply.

  I assume it costs more to add the color dyes to the ES balls because the extra spin of the balls would otherwise cause the color to spin off on wedge shots.

  B-ES was the 2nd ball type that was released (shortly after B-XD).  The pricing scheme for B-ES balls is slightly higher in general and normally the white B-ES balls would've sold for ~ 20 credits.  However we wanted to offer a low-cost choice between a distance or spin ball so we discounted the price of the White B-ES ball by 50%.

  Thank you for the reply Niv. Totally understand the pricing now and it is nice to know that the white ones were cut by 50% to help people afford a bit of spin without spending alot unless they love colors. Thanks again and Whack-Em-Good.
