Michael DeRogatis 0 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hey All, I saw the add on Friday to get the Maxfli Tour balls half off on Dicks Sporting good website. I went to go order and chose the Tour and not the X. Is there really a big difference in both? I tend to hit the ball pretty high but typically played the Pro V1X. Any thoughts on what I should do??

wwaldo 47 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The Maxfli Tour Matte Green are on sale today (Thursday 2/13) at Dicks during one of their Flash Sales. $17.98 a dozen. I played a dozen last summer and was quite impressed with them. Very good distance and the stopping power on the greens was right up there with the $50 a dozen balls. I've read numerous articles on the CG marking on the ball and they did go rather straight for me so it may work. 1 Quote Ping G400 Max @ 9 degrees Ping G400 Stretch 3W Ping G400 3i Hybrid Cleveland 2009 launcher 4i Hybrid (also a 2i and 1i not currently in the bag) Ping G700 5-9, PW, GW, SW (Green Dot and 3/4" length addition) Ping Glide-3 60 Deg.

BostonHackIt 4 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 WWaldo, you beat me to posting this heads up. I just bought 5 dozen to try this upcoming season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wwaldo 47 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Today (02/26) Golf Galaxy has the same sale I posted above from Dicks. The Maxfli Tour Matte Greens are $17.98 a dozen until 10pm EST tonight. Also, my favorite mud plug balls, the Maxfli StraightFli Matte Whites are $6.98 a dozen. Are they tour caliber...NO...do they hurt less when they plug in the mud and you can't find them compared to a Pro V1...YES! And they actually play fairly well. JMHO.... 2 Quote Ping G400 Max @ 9 degrees Ping G400 Stretch 3W Ping G400 3i Hybrid Cleveland 2009 launcher 4i Hybrid (also a 2i and 1i not currently in the bag) Ping G700 5-9, PW, GW, SW (Green Dot and 3/4" length addition) Ping Glide-3 60 Deg.

I don't miss this - having to play a different ball from October (leaves) to April (plugging). The Tour is a very good ball - It did well in the MGS robot testing and as a human tester I will say that I could certainly game it. Stay away from the Tour x unless you have a very high swing speed - it was the case in our test group and also as I tested it - sometimes close to 20 yards shorter than the Tour or my gamer - Pro V1x. When I've let one of the high SS guys that I've been playing with hit it they do fine - its a flop for everyone else that I know. 2 Quote Taylor Made Sim2 10.5 (Opened 1 click) Ventus Blue 5 R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Alta 65 R flex Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex Edison Wedges 54 and 59 KBS Tour Graphite 80's EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Tour Exotics 3 wood is in the bag because we are allowed 14 clubs. It's a great club for pulling balls out of the water or from bushes - you never want to put your hand into anything in Florida unless you are absolutely certain that it's safe. There are rare wind conditions when I might hit it off the tee on a few holes that I play. Link to post Share on other sites
StrokerAce 11,633 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Tried the matte white Tour last weekend. I now realize why most golf balls are glossy white. I am near sighted and wear glasses when I play, but even so, the matte finish is tough to see visually. Played the back 9 with a PV1 and there was a bit more distance but not a tremendous amount. If you can afford it the PV1 is a better ball but these aren't far behind. 1 Quote (D) G410 LST | (3) SpeedZone Big Tour | (5) TM Sim Max | (H) Titleist 818 H2 | (I) Z785 | (W) ZipCore | (P) Cleveland Premier HB 11 Link to post Share on other sites
fozcycle 13,138 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Played the Maxfli Tour CG Matte Green on Tuesday. Played one ball all day and even had two 280+ yard drives. Both were on Par 5’s but only one with a favorable wind. The Tour CG is definitely the ball for me.....getting used to the Matte Green.

Thin2win 2,155 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 This is the ball I've been playing this winter, and have really liked it. Sadly, the forest of Puerto Rico reached out and claimed my last few so this sale came at a good time. Side note / question. @Tony Covey MGS mentioned that matte golf balls were strictly bad on one of the npg podcasts... Does anyone have more information on that statement?I haven't noticed any performance issues with these, and compared them on a launch monitor to the new B XS balls and didn't see anything glaring.

In their wet wedge test they indicated "cheaper (2-piece) balls and matte finish balls are affected more significantly by moisture." That was the only use of he word "matte" in their golf ball buying guide.

wwaldo 47 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I played a lot of Matte balls last season and they perform as well as the glossy for me but the one thing I did notice was they get dirtier quicker. I had to use the ball washer more often rather than just wipe off with a towel. The Matte Green color helped me to see them in flight and on the ground. I would prefer a yellow but they don't make it. 1 Quote Ping G400 Max @ 9 degrees Ping G400 Stretch 3W Ping G400 3i Hybrid Cleveland 2009 launcher 4i Hybrid (also a 2i and 1i not currently in the bag) Ping G700 5-9, PW, GW, SW (Green Dot and 3/4" length addition) Ping Glide-3 60 Deg.

Jim418 131 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Played my first round with the Maxfli Tour ball in matte green. Very weird to be looking for a green ball rather than white. Was pleased with the results. I did not find the colour distracting (I thought I might). Enjoyed playing with a less spinny ball (had been playing the Kirkland 3-piece which is way to spinny for me). It stopped quickly on greens with no sucking back. I had tried it out on a practice green the day before and did not like it at all. The matte surface seemed to interact with the face of my TM Spider putter oddly. But the next day when i put it in play it was fine. Liked it a lot better than the Kirkland 3-piece. 3 Quote Driver: PING G400 LST 8.5* - Fubuki ZT Wood: PING 410 LST - Evenflow stiff Hybrid: PING G 17* - PING Alta Irons: Apex CF16 - Project X S - 4-P (2* flat) Wedges: RTX-3 50* MG, 56* LG, 60* LG Putter: TM Spider X HYDROBLAST (33", 3* upright) Link to post Share on other sites

I sort of like the matte finish but will likely only play those I find. 2 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites
