greetings to all vintage readers

 

Anyone know much about the maxfli blue dot golf balls from mid 70s ?

Also what was diff between blue, red & green dot models ?

 

I found one at a local range in mint condition. The pro let me have it as he

knows im a vintage gear nut. Played a few holes with it...felt great but def

notice a loss in distance.

 

They are not cheap on the bay either...

 

thnx in advance

I have a bucket with around 130 of these, mostly blue and some red, and i think a few green at least. Also have a Blue Dot Maxfli Putter. Balls are from at least the 60's to the 70's. In high school the beginning of the golf season we would get one doz. Maxfli Blue Dot, a glove, and a pair of golf shoes. had no use for any of it. I think things have changed since the mid 70's. Newer balls, 80's 90's as the Red, Black and Gray still seem to sell. The old Black Max was a great ball. Let me know if you have any interest in the collection, will post some photos. Ray.

It seems to me they also made a silver dot ????

 

I remember these from the days I used to hunt for balls in the spring at a public course in western New York when I first started playing and had limited funds.

In older (mid to late 70s) golf digest ads the blue dot was one of the pricier balls.
