The South Korean golf equipment manufacturers Volvik are best known around the world for their colourful, high-performance golf balls and distinctive approach to golf gear. Founded in 1980, Volvik balls have grown from a domestic golf ball producer into a global brand distributed in more than 60 countries, shaping a unique identity within the golf market.

Volvik: Origins and brand evolution 

Volvik were established with a focus on golf ball research and production, and over the years have built their reputation on innovation and design. By the late 1980s, the company had begun golf ball R&D and shortly after started producing two, three, and four-layer constructions, which represented key milestones in their evolution.   

The brand’s name reflects their identity and mission: combining volare (Italian for “to fly”), victory, and K for Korea – symbolising “fly to victory” and underscoring their performance ambitions.   

While many golf ball manufacturers offer standard white balls, Volvik challenged that convention with a bold, colour-first approach that has become their signature. The company developed and popularised the world’s first matte colour golf ball – a concept that has driven much of their recognition globally. 

Introducing the latest Volvik lineup 

Volvik’s product range spans a variety of performance-driven and fun, colourful golf balls suited to different players and skill levels.  

Across the line up, Volvik offer both urethane and ionomer cover constructions, matte and gloss finishes, and a variety of colour options – all engineered to combine visibility, feel, distance, and control.

Dan is a lifelong golfer. He had the great fortune to grow up within 200 yards of the 5th fairway of his local 9-holer, Rawdon, in Leeds.

Dan attended his first Open Championship in 1988 at Royal Lytham. The first action he saw, peering through the crowds behind the 8th green, was Paul Broadhurst holing out from the fairway below for an eagle. Which seemed perfectly normal at the time.

Since then, he has attended a further 27 Opens. Tragically, he can recite a phenomenal number of arcane statistics about The Open – whether you ask him to or not.

Dan has a post-graduate diploma in print journalism and is an experienced writer and editor. He is also a director of NCG’s parent company.

Dan specialises in the golf courses of the British Isles and heads up NCG Top 100s course rankings. He is not unacquainted with links golf and is closing in on a lifetime tally of 700 courses played.

In a former life, Dan was NCG’s equipment editor. Currently in his bag are: Ping G440 Max driver, Ping G440 Thriver, Ping G440 4-wood, Ping iDi 3-iron, Ping Blueprint-S irons, Ping S259 wedges and a Ping Scottsdale Tec Ketsch Onset putter.
