  1. According to Maxfli, the only difference is the graphics on the Max Align Technology. I’ve played the Vice Pro series and find that the Maxfli (2023) edition had better characteristics for me. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test the 2024 Maxfli tour balls (other than putting with them) yet due to weather issues.
  2. Wet depressing weather here in Boston. Finally recovering from Flu and decided to roll a few putts on my putting green. My initial impression of the Max Align Technology was one of trepidation. I’ve been gaming the Maxfli Tour ball since mid-summer last year and love the way it performs. I was concerned that the new graphics on the latest model would be a distraction. I was pleasantly surprised by the feedback of online putts and quickly realized it is a beneficial assessment of putter contact/path. I will post some videos shortly…
  3. New England weather has been quite annoying the past 10 days. To top it off, I contracted the Flu 5 days ago and feel like I got run over! Weather permitting, I should be able to post some videos and putting data within next few days
  4. Unboxing/First Impressions have been posted in my introduction...
  5. Congrats testers. I’m not to familiar with the Haywood lineup but look forward to your feedback.
  6. Introduction Hello Forum members and once again it is an honor to be chosen to test the new Maxfli Tour with Max Align Technology. If its good enough for Lexi... Well maybe it will improve my game! My name is Cliff and this is my 2nd testing opportunity from MGS (my first one was with the Sqairz Bold Golf Shoe). I reside in Danvers, MA which is about 10 miles north of Boston. I have been fortunate enough to have been playing golf for over 50 years and have a Love/ Hate relationship with this addictive hobby. I am a member at a very challenging, unforgiving, non-pretentious private club in North Reading, MA (all 18 holes have either "out of bounds" or some type of hazard). I am an 8 handicap and play 3-4 times per week. I recently retired from my financial advisory practice that my youngest son will eventually takeover. My other son works in the Pharmaceutical industry and has blessed me with 2 granddaughters. I currently play the new Callaway Paradym woods that came out last year and made the switch from Mizuno irons to the Paradym irons as well. Still getting used to the stronger lies on the irons. After reading the reviews about Maxfli last season, I switched from my usual Titleist Pro v1 ball to the Maxfli Tour around August 2023. I experimented with the Maxfli Tour X and the Tour S but for my unusually high ball flight and moderate swing speed (95-100mph) the Tour model was the best fit. I recently installed a putting green with 4 holes in my backyard and since New England weather is so unpredictable this time of year, my golf club probably won't open for another 3-5 weeks. Most of my reviews will be focused on the new Max Align technology and show how it relates to putting. I'll probably only be able to get on the local public courses once a week as some of them have slowly started to open. I hope you will find my feedback to be informative as well as entertaining. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions... FIRST IMPRESSIONS/UNBOXING 8/10 I figured I'd start this post with a picture of the latest "ambassador to the Maxfli Golf ball" with something that might get your attention. Thank you, Lexi, for posting these pictures on Instagram! Ok, now for the "boring" photos! Rather than post pictures of the box that they came in, I decided to show some pictures comparing it to the previous year model. As you will notice, last years ball is on the left and the latest edition with the Max Align technology is on the right. Here is a close-up of the previous year And here is the latest version Since I live in New England, the weather has been pretty dismal since I received the new balls and I haven't been able to roll them on my putting green yet. My first impression of the alignment aid is pretty favorable but I want to hold off judgement until I see what it looks like while putting. The arrows are printed 3 times across the ball and therefore the Maxfli Logo and the number only appears once. The 2-dozen balls that I received were in a plain FedEx box and thought that a more personalized letter (instead of an email requesting updates on the website) would have been more appropriate. Last year when I started using the Maxfli Ball, I was made aware that the Maxfli Golf balls are only available for purchase at Dicks/Golf Galaxy. Not sure why the exclusivity of this decision? Looking forward to warmer/drier days to give them a test drive!
  7. Congratulations testers. Hope these putters perform as good as they. Look. Looking forward to your feedback.
  8. Switched to the Maxfli Tour and X balls late last season and loved the performance and price! Luckily I snagged a great deal at Dick’s Sporting goods and bought 10 dozen. Still have 5dozen of various other brands (Vice,Mizuno,,Titleist Pro v1, and Callaway) but they will remain shelved until the Maxfli’s disappear…
  9. @PrismFlopper Unfortunately several of the courses are closed until mid May in that area(depending on weather). The following is a short list of some of the courses in the area. My top recommendation is Mt Washington Golf course which offers both an 18 and 9 hole course. Beautiful views and the iconic hotel on the property. It’s probably 1/2 hour drive to course from North Conway. Another picturesque course in Conway is Hales location (9 hole course) and North Conway country club.
  10. I’m curious as to what are the factors for other clubs (if 7 iron factor is 1.9, what are the factors for 4,5, or 6 irons?)
  11. Welcome to the Forum @Parman42. I am also a "Masshole" living on the North Shore and hope you find the Forum to be informative and entertaining. I recently became a tester for Sqairz golf shoes this year and enjoyed the interaction with other members. Hope you find the benefits of the MGS pages educational and beneficial to your golf game...
  12. Congratulations to all testers. Definitely will follow this journey as I am very interested in the new lineup!
  13. Thanks for the birthday wishes…
  14. Still wearing them and they are the only shoes I’ve worn all season since testing period started (about 50 rounds). Still love the grounded feeling and stability. Still completely waterproof as well. My only complaint is the durability. In this price range I am a little disappointed with how much they are starting to tear in the heel area(see photo). I find them very comfortable and since I have a 2nd pair that I haven’t used yet,I will continue wearing them next season. Wish the heal had a piece of leather to minimize the heal damage!
