PlaidJacket Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I recently purchased a dozen each of the Tour and Tour-X. I started at the top of this subject and started reading about the balls. To save time I honed in on Rev's comments as we're similar age and playing ability. After getting through about 6 pages where I read Rev's comments I skipped the rest as I am probably already convinced that the Tour will be a better choice for me also. This weekend I'll be playing at least 2 rounds so I may play the Tour one round and the X another and just see. Anyway... they sound like good balls. fozcycle, revkev, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the exact same... but didn't buy the X. Beyond Rev there were also a number of other guys that preferred the Tour vs the X. Seemed to be the most popular anyway. Even though it's supposed to be mid to low 40's I'm hoping to be able to get out on Monday and give them a try.

kgv0622 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I've been playing the Maxfli Tour ball for awhile now...well, since last year's MSG Ball Testing. I have a bit of nostalgia for the brand since I played the Maxfli Blue Max back when I started playing golf. Tells you about how old I am (76) haha. I have to say this is one of the most underrated balls on the market, especially when you consider you can pick them up for as low as $17.50/doz. if you're patient and wait for Dick's BOGO sales. I mean where can you find a urethane golf ball for that price, and the ball's performance is as good as any I've played cksurfdude, artful_golfer and revkev 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddaigneault Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Interesting video from the guys at TXG dropped today.

ncwoz Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I've been playing some Maxfli Tours recently and I reeeally like it. I've never been very stingy about playing a single model, so I've hit quite a few. Bit of a jack of all trades and expert in none when it comes to familiarity to any specific ball, but the Tour actually kinda reminds me of a Bridgestone. When I'm in need for another dozen I think I'm gonna give the Tour-X a go. But I think the Tour might be my new gamer! artful_golfer, revkev and cksurfdude 3 Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (MMT Utility TX 105g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MAXFLI Tour X Bag: Hoofer Lite WITB thread here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB21 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Hi, I found a Maxfli Tour CG the other day and thought I would give it a try. I've been playing ProV 1 for the last few months, but after playing 2 rounds with the Maxfli Tour CG I think I'm hooked. I gain 10 to 15 yards off the Tee and they have a great feel off my irons and hybrids. I would recommend this ball to anyone in the 12-20 handicap with a average swing speed.

golfbum72 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 One of those buddies wouldn't have been Randy Turner? I have not seen the movie in years but I remember Randy being in open scene of the movie and maybe Paul Harlan?? My uncle who is in the movie lives about two or three houses down from where Randy's parents lived on the course. Small world for sure. I played in the Bonnie and Clyde years ago as well.
