funkyjudge Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I have played the Maxfli Tour X balls since the first generation of this ball was introduced. However, I have tried other balls during that time. Some of them I didn’t like very much, others I could happily play. The balls that I feel are closest to the Maxfli Tour X are: Vice Pro Plus, Volvik VS4 and OnCore Vero X1 (the Vero X2, as well, but that ball is actually a bit too firm for me!). chisag, William P and Lefty11 3 Quote DR - Callaway Paradym AI Smoke Max, Newton Motion 4-Dot shaft 4W - Titleist TSR2, Newton Motion 4-Dot FW shaft HYB - Sub 70 949X 21*, original HZRDUS Black 85-S shaft 7W (if played) - Titleist TSR, ACCRA TZ6 7S Irons - Cobra King Forged Tec X, KBS TGI graphite shafts Wedges - Edison 2.0, 47* (bent to 48*), 53* and 57* (bent to 58*), KBS TGI 100 Tour S Putter - Evnroll ER10 ""Outback” Mallet Ball - Maxfli Tour-X CG (2023) or Vice Pro Plus Bags - Vessel / Ghost stand bags Cart - MotoCaddy M7 Remote (without the remote) Spoiler Lots of short game practice has made this a strength; now the driver is causing problems!

I might play the ProV1x or the left dash version, if they didn’t cost so bloody much. I won a pro shop gift card in a golf tournament at the beginning of July, and they had a couple of sleeves of the ProV1x Left Dash balls in the pro shop, so I used part of my shop credit for them (and the rest on an Adidas golf belt). Those left dash balls are pretty nice, but I am not about to pay $55 a dozen for more of them!

I think I need to grab a sleeve of the Maxfli Tour X to test out. I have a sleeve of Maxfli Tour I'm going to try out, but based on specs it looks like the Tour X will have a firmer feel than the Tour and will be closer to the TP5X I mostly game. I've been enjoying playing the Chrome Tour lately, particularly off the tee and long irons. But if the Maxfli is as good as everyone says, it'll be a nice cost saving without giving up feel and performance. I really didn't like the Kirkland v3 either.

Totally agree -- I have my go-to tournament ball and swear it performs better (the Left Dash), but I'm 100% willing to admit that it's likely all in my head. For everyday rounds, I bounce between TP5/TP5x, Chrome Tour, Vice Pro Plus (sometimes the Pro, because some of the colors/designs are cooler), OnCore Vero X1/X2 (specifically the Josh Allen logo balls), etc. -- they all perform sufficiently well for me on any given day, and I could not tell you which of those balls actually performs best on the course.

kamusicman Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 On 6/8/2024 at 9:27 PM, kamusicman said: Thanks for the 411. I, too, tend to have a higher-than-average spin rate so I want a ball that carries well but doesn't spin too much. I actually took a chance and ordered the Chrome Tour (I got four dozen for the price of three AND an additional $20 discount. =D) so I'm glad to hear that you had good results with it. I'll definitely try them out on my next round. I played a round today with the Left Dash and really liked the spin on shots from 130 yards and in. They flew a little higher than I wanted but I think that was more me fighting my swing today than the ball itself. The ball reacted well with all my wedge shots today, even the one I bladed! Haha. The only complaint I had was that the ball feels too firm when I putt even though I use an Odyssey Stroke Lab Ten S Triple Track with the White Hot insert for softer feel. But it's a minor complaint. I'll avoid the Z-Star's for now especially since I probably don't have to buy any more balls for the next 12 months. (I have two dozen Left Dash's as well. ) Now if I can just get my index down by a shot every month for the next six months... So I've two rounds now with the Chrome Tour and love them! @GregGarner, thanks for the nudge to the Tour's. Compared to the Left Dash, they go just as far, spin a little less but hold the greens, and feel much better off the putter face. Glad I purchased the four for three deal. I've got a two-day trip this weekend on courses that require spin control on approaches (firm greens), potentially windy conditions, and very subtle greens that tend to run around 11, 12. Played the Left Dash at both courses before so this will be a good comparison with the Chrome Tours.

Here in Canada, a dozen ProV1s costs $72.99, which is outrageous. While I understand that you often get what you pay for, I’m always on the lookout for a quality ball at a reasonable price. Currently, I’m using Vice balls and am quite satisfied with them. However, I’m very interested in trying Maxfli, but they aren't available here. I've even reached out to Dick's Sporting Goods to inquire about bringing them to Canada, but haven't received any response.

Absolutely conclusive proof that MTx>PV1 Whether statistically significant or outlier, clearly the Tour X worked very well for you for those nine holes! Great back nine and overall score.
