Quigleyd Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I remember hearing Tony say he does not like Matte golf balls. He had a performance reason. I thought there was an article about it but I cannot find it.. Anyone remember the reason? Or able to point me in the right direction?

fixyurdivot Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 This was a topic on this No Putts Given Podcast. (specific comment at 38:05). The negative is related to ball being wet. https://mygolfspy.com/warning-are-you-playing-this-golf-ball-noputtsgiven-38/ Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Golfer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 They get dirty and feel weird. Performance can be similar though. Many swear by the Maxfli Tour Matte green one. wwaldo and MDGolfHacker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb1956 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Love the Cally Supersoft Matte green!! Also have the red..you can see the green ball from all over the course. I love the feel, and distance is not a problem(my swing speed is 80), and the SS has nice manners around the green. This ball is my gamer all year. When it gets cooler here in the Chicago area, I don't have to look for a softer ball. Have played the same sleeve for 3 rounds with no problem-got a little dirty. Ball washer cleaned them up no problem. Never thought about moisture absorption. Ball performs for me. tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver-Ping g410 SFT, 3W-Callaway Diablo Octane, Hybrids-Snake Eyes Viper 18*+ 21*, Irons-GigaGolf Reva Hybrid Irons 24*- 46*, Wedges-Cleveland CBX2's 50*54*58*, Putter-Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft 11c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom the Golf Nut Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The problem with the matt finish balls was moisture staying on the outside of the ball not moisture absorption. The ball would slide up the clubface more and not grab as quick to promote the desired spin. If you don't play in the morning with dew or on rainy days you will never notice a difference other than getting dirty faster.

RollingGreens Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Absolutely hated the maxfli tour x in matte finish. Had no idea I bought them vs the standard color. Too much spin. Didn’t feel like the gripped as well on the grooves for iron shots.

This is a little confusing to me. If it doesn't grip well, it should have too LITTLE spin, not too much. Or was it too much spin with some clubs, and too little with others?

Instead of feeling like their was solid contact on wedge and shorter iron shots it felt as if it started spinning up the club head along impact. It never felt like it fully engaged at impact. As opposed to the direct contact on the club face at impact prior to the ball beginning it’s ascent Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingGreens Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 With the driver I would say it amplified spin numbers. Especially side spin on fades.

wwaldo Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I play matte in several colors (easier to see than white for my old eyes) and they perform very well for me however, they do hold the mud and dirt more than a glossy ball. With no ball washers on courses last year (in PA.), it was a pain cleaning them during a round.

Recently found a Maxfli Softfli matte white ball on the course while looking for my ball in the bushes. Never found mine, but put the Maxfli in play right there, 9th hole, played it till the 17th, where my tee shot found the water on the left. Finished the 9th with bogey. Parred the 10th par 3, just missed a 15 foot putt for birdie. Drove the green on 11, par 4 at 240 yards, made birdie. Actually played pretty well with the Maxfli ball, so I decided to pick up a box, matte green, for my next round. Possibility this weekend...want to see how it plays compared to the Cally Supersoft, which I have used since 2019. Anyone else play the Maxfli Softfli??
