That’s exactly the reason why I’m not spending $55+ on a dozen balls anymore…

Started playing the Maxfli Tour X last year and have been testing against Pro V 1’s and can’t tell the difference off the tee box or approach shots. They spin very well on greens and can carry 250-270 on center hits. I’m retired now so I can’t justify paying $55+ for balls anymore…

Congratulations to all testers. Been looking at these and Bettinardi putters the last couple of weeks and want to hear all your feedback before pulling the trigger!

I would define accuracy as a playable next shot! Fairways hit or a shot out of the rough can still give you the opportunity to make par or better. My point was that a ball hit out of bounds or into a hazard such as water or woods would probably result in bogie or worse and I'm convinced that regardless of age or distance that the average player would gladly sacrifice distance for accuracy...

Interesting question! My take on this subject(and as evidenced from the responses) is that the longer hitters are willing to give up distance for accuracy and the shorter hitters are unwilling to sacrifice any distance. I think a large percentage of golfers embellish the actual distance of their drives!!! Very few 15-20 handicappers are hitting 270 yard plus drives! If they did, they would have much lower handicaps. About 25% of my drives rollout to that 270 number and I would gladly sacrifice yardage for accuracy! I am currently in my early 60's and age/flexibility are slowly deteriorating my game. I can understand how younger players 20-40 years of age "chase distance" and consistently exceed those yardages and probably would be less willing to give up distances but I think it depends on the courses played. My home course has "out of bounds" or a hazard on all 18 holes so accuracy is at a premium...

Congratulations testers.

Congratulations testers. Looking forward to your analysis/feedback of the new Garmin S70…

I’m a huge fan of the Maxfli Tour balls as I was selected as a tester this year and started gaming them late last season. Incredible value and performs as well as those costing almost double the price!

Congratulations testers. Was just at a titleist demo day and really liked the feel of these. Curious to hear your feedback as well!

I used a Cobra 7wood about 25 years ago and it was my “Go to” club back then. For the past 10-15 years I replaced my 3 & 4 irons with comparable Mizuno Hybrids. Last year, I replaced all my clubs with Callaway Paradym clubs and my new Go to club is the 7 wood (for (200-210 yard shots). I like using this club for its consistency, higher ball flight, and distance capabilities. My swing speed has decreased over the years but my distances have remained constant due to current technology so for now I will keep the 7 wood in the bag…

Received my golf balls earlier this week. Thanks Bridgestone and MGS for the opportunity to provide feedback. I recently reviewed the new Maxfli Tour with Max Align Technology and was very impressed with the results. I plan on doing a comparison with the new Bridgestone Tour B RX with Mindset to see if it can compete with the Maxfli in all categories (distance,green side spin, durability and value). We’ll see if the “3 easy steps (Identify,Visualize, and Focus) are an enhancement or a distraction to my current situation?

Congratulations testers. Several of the members at my club use these and I’ve heard mixed reviews about them. Interested in hearing from testers that have owned other brands to get a comparison review.
