New Maxfli C3 Golf Ball

Everybody knows that Maxfli was sold to Dick's Sporting Goods.

Maxfli just launched 3 new golf balls.

VT2 & VT3 (2 & 3 pieces golf balls)

and a New Tour ball : C3

On the USGA website http://www.usga.org/equipment/conforming_g.../gball_list.pdf at page 23 it appear that the VT balls are manufactured by Dick's but the C3 is still manufactured by Taylor Made / Adidas.

Interesting!

I think I will give the Maxfli C3 a try.

From the usga site it looks to be the 2007 TP Red with a different brand marking. Ill have to pic up a dozen and see if they fly like the 07 TP Reds

If they fly anything like the TP Reds, I'm all over that!

It's kind of funny that I saw this on here though. I was at Dick's today and didn't see them, although I looked through the Maxfli stuff.

Yeah they are basically the same thing as the TP Red, great ball and will go down in price soon at dick's and Golf Galaxy, it's their label on a high margin, look for it to do down under taylor made soon. I've played about 10 rounds with them since I get an unreal discount on maxfli therefore it's my ball!

I saw these balls at GG today and was taken a bit back by the price. $43.99 a dozen.

HAs anyone had any experence with these balls? I loved the Maxfli A10. But I haven't heard a thing about these balls....

I am currently playing this ball as they are marked down to 24 dollars here. In my opinion it is a great ball for the price, plays very similar to the TaylorMade but less of them on the course. All in all a good ball that can be had pretty cheap now IMO

I picked up some of these on clearance at Dick's for ~$17.25/doz.

they are identical to the 07 TM TP Red, which i am a big fan of.

I bought a couple dozen of these for $22 apiece, had a coupon so ended up being about $35 total for two dozen.

These balls perform exceptionally well, pretty much the same as the TM balls. They are extremely durable too. I used the same one for 33 holes this week and it is still in good enough shape to use for chipping putting practice. I'll keep playing these since I destroy the covers on Pro V1s in about 9 holes...

Anyone else try these? I picked up a dozen for $14.99 yesterday assuming they are remarked 2007 TP Reds. I also saw the Tour Fires were on sale for $12.99. Can anyone confirm if the C3's are a urethane cover?

yes, they are a urethane cover. btw, did it occur to you to look at the box for information regarding construction?

Nah, fiance was running into the mall so I had to hurry up and grab em and get the hell out of there before the spree started

The local GG manager told me this as well. Basicly rebranded it a Maxfli. I might try some...

yep. place the two side-by-side, and you will see that they are identical--same dimple pattern, with the only differences being the label and sidestamp. more to the point, we can corroborate this with information from the USGA Conforming Ball List:

Hi Guys,

Just some clarification as I'm heading to Minneapolis the weekend and I'll check out Dick's or GG if these balls are worth grabbing.

On Dick's site, they have a "C3 Gold" for $39.99/doz, which I am guessing (?!?) are new non-TM balls? Or, are these the C3's being discussed here?

And, anyone in the Minneapolis area who's bought some, or know a Dick's or GG that has em?

Thanks for the help!

i went by Dicks today to get some at the price point yall keep referencing and both the gold and the black C3's were $39.99/doz.

no thanks.


then went by GG and same thing.

^^ look for the clearance C3's in a red box, not the C3 Black or C3 Gold. btw, both the C3 Black and C3 Gold are 2 doz for $55.

Thanks for the tip mullet-man!

Just purchased Maxfli C3 at Dicks ( Cinti ) for $14.97 per dozen. Not many left.

Scored 2 doz at the Dick's in Richfield Minnesota.

Still had about 20 doz left.

Score! Thanks for the help guys. I may go back and buy a few more.

dangit! why cant i find these??

so the ones in the red box, right? the one that is shaped a tad different than the newer ones, correct?

Box is kind of a black/red hologram with the Maxfli logo (not bright red), and is a tall square box (same configuration as Nike uses for the One).

I found them in the "second" aisle beside the Maxfli Tour Fires. They were actually kind of hard to notice, and I only saw them on my second time through. I actually noticed the yellow ticket with the $14.97 on it before I noticed the box.

Good luck!

found em!

i walked through a different dicks tonight and no dice. just those maxfli revolution crap with the RAW balls. i asked a guy and he took me to the $39.99 version. as i was leaving i saw about 10doz maxfli tour fires on the bottom shelf almost hidden and then there were the c3s.

these C3 must be the TM reds before LDP right? demples all look the same. i assume the expensive gold and black c3s are the new LDP red and blacks?


also, picked up another doz of the tour fires. those were one of my favorite balls of all time. they were only $12.xx/doz.

played this and the tour fire side by side today. the C3 is 'clickier' than the tour fire.

i enjoyed the tour fire much more. felt softer and impact felt so smooth. off the putter i felt the same. the C3 was clickish off the face while the tour fire felt muted and smooth.

for $13/doz there isnt a better ball than the tour fire. i say this everytime i buy a doz, but im gonna have to go stock up. they cant get much less and they are literally running low on those.

They had 5 boxes left at $14.95 each. Bought 3 boxes. The original TM TP red is one of my favorite balls. Actually like the graphics on the C3 better and they are slightly whiter too.

I got a $10 reward certificate from using one of the 300 bonus points with any purchase a month back on a clearance I-mix shaft, so I decided to use it on the C3 then somehow I got $3 off on top of my reward certificate so I got a dozen for $2, and I really like them so far. Even if I didn't it was worth it.

My GG had like 20 dozen of the old C3, I might have to pick some more up even at $15 dollars a dozen

If the C3 is really a TM TP Red (haven't played mine yet), then I think it's a far better ball than the Tour Fire which I wasn't very impressed with. They simply don't have the same greenside manners in my experience.

ahh man, see for me it was the opposite. i bought the C3's all stoked ready to play em, and when i first hit one, was kinda meh. after about 3 holes with it, i was liking my D2 Fell more than the C3. i dont care for "clicky" golf balls and to me the C3 is one. the Tour Fire was about the same distance off the irons and driver or at least i couldnt notice a difference really, but the softness of the Tour Fire wins out for me. its is my favorite ball to putt with and ship with to date...still

played with the C3 again today and i like it a tad more. shot an 82. now last sunday was my first ever 83 with the Tour Fire. before then, never broke and 88. needless to say i am pumped. two in a row sub 85. im sure some of it had to do with the ball....
