I just ran a few number on my putting with these balls and found them interesting for myself and thought I would share. In my last 108 holes played with the max align balls using the balls alignment markings I averaged 1.935 putts per hole. Since remarking the balls from the same batch with my own alignment markings running accross the cg I have averaged 1.65 putts per hole in 79 holes with 54 of those being in a tournament. I know it's a pretty small sample but for me it just reinforces that max align isn't for me.

I went through 31 balls straight out of the box and had 18 with issues of varying degrees. I just had a long interaction with Dicks Sporting goods online chat. They offered a dozen balls, then $12, then a dozen balls and $12, and then nothing at all. I can however go to my local Dicks so they can check them out (it's 200 miles away) or I can return them. I will be returning what I have with a bad taste in my mouth. Found a couple of balls going through them so bad even the wife could tell they were out of whack just holding it up. Again love the balls but the max align is a hard no for me.

This is the best way I can think of to illustrate it. It's a brand new ball never been hit. Pictures of just the ball don't really show what I'm talking about but it's there and standing over it to putt my brain just knows something is wrong.

Anyone else had balls where the chevron aren't aligned with each other? I have had a bunch of balls where they aren't aligned properly, which seems like the complete opposite of what the marking are supposed to achieve. I love the Tour X, but I'll be ditching the max align from now on and just marking balls myself.
