tschott Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I've been playing the OnCore Elixir for the last year and a half. Very good ball and you can usually buy at 2 for $50. I play to a 7.2 and it does everything I need it to and you don't feel so bad when you lose one 3 1 Quote Driver-Sub70 849D 3 wood-Sub70 939X 5 wood-Callaway Rogue 4 hybrid-Tour Edge EXS 220 irons-Tour Edge EXS putter-Sub 70 FN 001 with Evenroll Gravity Grip Ball-OnCore Elixir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjoemofo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just switch from Bridgestone Tour B REX's to these, and gotta tell you THIS is my new go to ball after playing a few rounds they play and hold up just as well as the Bridgestones but $15-$20 cheaper...

6 Aces Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I switched from the Srixon Z Star to the Maxfli Tour CG about 4 months ago based on the '19 ball test. The latest ball test confirmed (for me) they are a best buy in performance for the price. For my swing they are a longer ball than the Srixon, I'm about to become among the elderly(80), and I need all the distance I can find! And I like them around the greens as well.

Deepred Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I actually believe in buying the cheapest ball that does what I need it to do. Titleist TruFeel and Tour Soft do everything I need. If the new Maxfli TriFli ball came in yellow I’d give it a try. The Wilson Duo Pro is an exceptional ball and is on sale now. If it came in a non matte color I’d load up on those. I find higher spinning urethane balls require more practice and consistency than I have time for.

Deepred Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I was referring to the new TriFli, not the Tour. I have seen the Tour in yellow but several people have said the yellow chips very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the Tour in yellow but several people have said the yellow chips very easily. I play the tour ball. I switch over to a yellow ball from the time the fairway grass goes dormant until it turns green again in spring. I haven’t seen any chips, cuts or worn spots yet. I rarely lose a ball and play it for quite a few rounds. I just pulled the one I used over the past four rounds out of my bag to check it. After cleaning off a dirt mark it still looks good as new. I can't tellyouhow it will hold up to a cart path because I haven't hit one with it yet. 3 Quote Driver, TSi1 10* Stiff Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex 939x 5 hybrid Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (6 - AW) JB Wedge 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckZ Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Titleist Tour Speed ($40), Tour Soft ($35) TruFeel ($25) as advertised on their site, could be a penny or two less on other sites. Good golf balls. I would go with true and tested brands. Some off brands claim as good as a Titleist. NOT.

Middler Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The two best balls under $40/dozen for me are the Snell MTB/X and the MaxFli Tour/X - almost as good as ProV1 to me at least. Comparable performance, slightly less consistent quality - and I wouldn't know that if it wasn't for MGS Ball Lab. I played the Snell MTB exclusively for 3-4 years, switched to MaxFli Tour last year when Snell prices increased and they were rationed/out of stock at times. Again I never would have even considered the MaxFlis had it not been for MGS Ball Lab. At the moment I have 2 dozen ProV1's in the closet (gift from my wife) and 5 dozen MaxFli Tours. 5 2 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 TSR w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 w MCC+4 Midsize Evnroll ER5B Fit@TrueSpec w P2 Touch Tour Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, FJ DryJoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Kirkland V 2.0. How can you beat 24 balls for half the price of a box of Pro V1’s??? I can tell that I lose distance on my drives, but for the cost I will justify losing a couple yards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC3157 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've been using Vice Pro for the last 4 years. When buying in bulk they are only $26/dozen and for me, they perform as well as ProV1's.
