Nice video! I did a video about dyeing golf balls about 13 years ago on my old channel before UA-cam made it mandatory to have a Google account. Then my dad's Google account latched onto it somehow and I lost access. Felt nostalgic and decided to look up the topic. You might want to shake the jars every once in a while to prevent white spots though. :)
we just used RIT Kelly green dye and it completely rinsed off when we dipped in water? need it for school project...i keep going over your steps and we can't figure out error...besides operator error..
I'm going to have to try this, while I like using yellow balls because they are much much easier to find, as well as track the flight of with your eye, the ball that best fits my game is not available in Yellow.
could try experimenting with vinegar. the acid might temporarily soften the clear coat enough to allow the dye to be absorbed, but that may also affect the balls performance, too.
Personally, I wouldn't. I used to dye golf balls 13 years ago when I worked at a mini golf course. I did notice that the scratches on the balls would absorb the dye more than the surface. So if you sand paper your balls, you'd have to do a through job of it. Otherwise, it'll look like a mess.
i would try vinegar. the acid in the vinegar softens the clear coat and allows the dye to be more effectively absorbed. It works with eggs, so it might work with the clear coat of a golf ball. It's hard to say. Certainly it won't soften the clear coat as much as it would an egg but it might soften it enough to make a significant difference in color absorption and saturation. otherwise maybe just leave in the dye solution longer for greater color saturation...
My family has a driving range and as I was using the ball washing machine I thought it would be a good idea to add some OxyClean I the usual liquid laundry detergent(just use whatever is on sale like Arm and Hamme) to try to get some of the stubborn dirt/mud stains out of the balls that got embedded in the muddy surrounding fields. Unfortunately it seemed to strip that glossy sheen making them feel a little rougher maybe drying them out in the long term? But I bet I would be a great way to make them more porus for dying. Not sure if it helps the longevity on them though as well as more susceptible for future mud stains.
Guys, this works for older golfballs that have lost their sheen. "Play it Again" and (Walmart's $6/12) "Hit It Again" or the bag of 24-48 dirty sliced ones for a dollar you find once a month at the thrift store. Oh use boiling vinegar water, and I mean boiling, and leave them overnight. If all you hit on the course are blue, then that's your ball. I'd never dye anything green or brown. Florescent orange or yellow balls are great for the long lawn private practice range or empty lawn park. I have the devil finding white ones in such a place since they disappear in 2" grass. WM has 24 cheap Wilson student grade for $10 a bag (cheapest price I know retail) so if you lose half of them it is cheaper than a bucket of driving range balls. Sometimes my wife just likes to chuck without people looking and seeing her slice.
Nice video🖖👍 Is ther a video how I can get them white again and clean the marked ones of the pen markings, becourse I find only videos how get the dirt cleaned of them but not the paint pen markings? 🤔
im questioning some of these color choices... dark colors make it hard to find the ball in a game of golf and dull yellow colors just make the balls look old and also hard to locate the ball in-game, as well. people want bright colors, like neons and SOME pastels are ok, but not dull yellows and dark pastels.
12saintp,shut up. u can tell she isn't lying by this video.how could a video be false?well it can be. but she wouldn't use computer graphics on somethong like this.btw,i tried this and it worked.
I would wager that the dark blue ball shown in the bucket at the end of the video was NOT achieved using this method. Prove me wrong. Also, the link to instructions shown in the description is just click bait to the KIN home page. No golf ball dye instructions can be found at that link.
nourbutwatmi because some people are partial to a particular ball and often that ball is not available in different colors. Golf balls are not all the same.

So if I were to use more dye, would the colors be darker?
yes beecause it will be more concentrated
It could also be a gift for a lonely golfer. Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like giving your friend blue balls.
Megan Peterson lol sub me
Ha
Nothing like it
Huge detail is left out it needs to by synthetic dye Rit DyeMore. Standard Rit will not get into the poly material of the balls.
Depends on the ball and how long you leave it in the jar. Some balls dye better than others.
will the color rinse off when you are washing/wiping the ball during a game of golf?
Can i use food coloring?
Do you have to use rit dye .
Can you reuse the dye over and over or it’s a one time use.
You can reuse it. I did a video on it 13 years ago on my old channel.
what type of dye did u use? :D oh and where do get it
We're did u get the dye ??????
how much further does it go
not enough to make par
I did it and it worked. Wondering though if this hurts the performance.
it doesnt
@@TheCheckersMan -- thanks
4 a darker tint ,as a yellow,repeat the process a couple of times, might do it.

golf balls have a clear protective covering. if you find a way to remove it, this might work.
Laura Hinton works with any golf ball.
Agreed. I used extra dye, left it for two hours and there was zero change in color.

use rit for synethic works grear dyed all my yellow to pink
I’ve tried to dye golf balls several times and the dye just comes off as soon as it is rinsed with water. What am I doing wrong?
Should I lightly sand the golf ball with high grit sandpaper? Will that help the dye adhere to the golf ball?
Personally, I wouldn't. I used to dye golf balls 13 years ago when I worked at a mini golf course. I did notice that the scratches on the balls would absorb the dye more than the surface. So if you sand paper your balls, you'd have to do a through job of it. Otherwise, it'll look like a mess.

this is a cute idea for fathers day......... or it could be a prank idea depending on your dad ;)
Can you dye them white?
Nice video🖖👍
Is ther a video how I can get them white again and clean the marked ones of the pen markings, becourse I find only videos how get the dirt cleaned of them but not the paint pen markings? 🤔
Nice
yes, but why?
Exactly! If it ain't white, it ain't right. ;)
Better visualization
I really want to do this for my dad but he can't play golf at the moment because of his injury... :(
that is a poor demonstration she puts in Wilson Staff balls and pulls out precept, she needs to review her demo
Magic ! I want to see her put in a Nitro and pull out a Pro V 1
I think you mean TABLEspoons of dye?
EXCELLENT
coooooooooool

Too much work for balls I'll hit into the water.

Today i found a golf bal on te golf cieszę Bear my house'u nad it was blue nad it własny dyrdymały

FYI...you can buy colored golf balls for the same price as the white ones. Not sure why anyone would even want to try something like this.

Good we
Ghyisfhch day was the day we
I meandry dyed
yeah this didn't work
to identify it on the course as a novelty gift I son't come pu with some ideas your self
Did it just like the video, three times, did not work!!!!
try leaving them in longer like 2 to 3 hours
Same here, the die does not take, it wipes right off after you remove them from rinsing.
just wasted 30 seconds of my life
