knotthead17 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 It's not a specific ball, but more of a type of test I would like to see added. Because of all the work that MGS has done over the years we're realizing just how important consistency is and just how hard it is for ball manufactures to achieve. I would love to see some testing around that. Does Maxfli's CG Balancing technology make a difference? Does check-go work? If so on both then how much?

Peejer Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I started playing Saintnine's U-Pro golf balls during the winter. They're 2-piece urethane balls and are constantly on sale for under $20 a dozen. They also have a 3-piece urethane ball called U-Pro Tour, but at $39.99 - I've never tried them. https://saintnineamerica.com/collections/all-products I'd be really interested in seeing these two balls tested.

Nm243008 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I wish there was a "wind test" to see which balls are really effected by winds in excess of 20 MPH. I love the MAxfli tour ball but this and the BXS seem to really balloon on windy days for me while the left dot and the CSX seem to "cut through" much better.

There were alot yes, but I mean balls like Srixon Distance and AD333, Titleist velocity and tru feel, the E6 etc in the Bridgestone range. We all know we are losing out in some ways buying a Srixon Distance (£12) over a Srixon Z Star (£40) but how much of a difference is there, in real numbers?

I dont know all the prices I just assumed the prices listed in the article were at least right at the time when it was published and some of those were reasonable I thought. Kirkland is 1/4 the price of Titlist ProV1 , Maxfli/Snell/Mizuno/Vice had balls on the barely over 1/2 the price of ProV1's . Im guessing the Kirkland ball isnt available in England but some of the others must be. Closest I have been to England is Sailing past Gibraltor on a Submarine 40 years ago lol. anotherburntsteak 1 Quote Ping 430 Max H/L 10 Degree Geezer Flex Ping 425 7 wood Geezer Flex Ping 425 5H [Not in bag] TM DHY 4/5 Titlist 5-Gap T300's Geezer Flex Wedges Cleveland RTX Fullface Zipcore 52 degree and TM Hi Toe 4 56 degree Putter Scotty Cameron Golo S Center Shafted Ball Bridgestone BXS , Trying The Maxfli Tour S also Bag Titlist 15 Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall the reason for only going that route but I’m sure time and money were the biggest reason. But one can easily find out the difference on their own in simple on course testing. Use whatever cheaper ball you currently play then pick a ball you want to compare it to and buy that ball then go on the course and play both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespoon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) I'd like to see if Costco worked the bugs out with this year's "more" colorful release of the Kirkland Signature, and a vote for the Wilson Duo which I use as a Winter ball due to visibility (that neon green really stands out against brown fairways), softness, and price.

Richard Fahrney Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 As a senior golfer with a slow swing speed please include the 2 piece balls that are under $25. Also include the Maxfli straightfli. Quote Played golf for over 50 years until my health and business calendar reduced my time to less then 5 rounds a year. Then 4 years ago I retired, changed my diet and lifestyle, lost 100 pounds and got back on the course. Its been a struggle but things are getting better.

We ALL don't play the TOUR balls! A lot of us for financial reasons play the cheaper 2/3 piece balls on the market. Cally Supersoft for one, but what about Wilson 50 and Triad, or TF Hammer Control and Distance, Srixon Soft Feel, Maxfli Softfli, and Straightfli, and why not the Trifli..Bridgestone E12, and Cally ERC. Any of the DTC 2 piece, and lower priced 3 piece balls too. Matte versions should also be included. Basically anything under $40 should be included, because a LOT OF US play these type of balls! We all don't play ProV1's, because of cost, or we lose too many balls! There are a lot of high cappers here, and we would like to know how our ball performs in your testing. Yes!
