Maxfli Tour balls

[wantacigar]

My driver ss is around 95.  Middle of summer maybe 100.  I just purchased 2 boxes of the tour, 1-gloss white, 1-gloss yellow.  Will be playing with them tomorrow.  

[wantacigar]

OK, played the Maxfli Tour today......

LOVE this ball!  I played the yellow, and yes, the yellow kinda scuffs off but does not affect the ball.  All future purchases will be gloss white.

The distance I got on the ball surprised me.  The ball felt amazing off my clubs.  Played on a windy day with the wind whipping off the bay. (Middle Bay Golf Club is on the bay)  The ball cut the wind nicely.

Just ordered 4 dozen from Dicks today for $104 and change.  It's a 48 ball pack.  Pretty good deal!

Damn, I wish these were an option at that price in Canada

[cardia10]

I have a $30 reward I need to use. Guess a 4 dozen pack is a no brainer with free shipping.

Finally got out to the course to play and test out the Maxfli Tour for the first time since purchasing the 48 ball pack. For me, it proved to be a fantastic ball in every category....distance, feel, consistency, durability and short game performance. Not looking to spend $50 / dz on balls so I have been testing out DTC alternatives over the past year and the Maxfli Tour performed as well for me as anything else I have tried...major OEM or DTC. Maxfli Tour and MTB Black will be the two balls I keep in rotation for the immediate future.  Absolutely no complaints with either one of these.

I've found that if I keep them off the cart path, the yellow holds up very well. But, yeah, the yellow doesn't get along with the cart path at all.

These are hard times boys. Prices going up across the board. Tough to get a tee time. Some of our favorite suppliers are stuck in "allocation" (Snell). And some of us just don't dig Kirkland branded golf balls because of the ballooning, crap durability, excessive spin robbing of distance, and a slight price hike as of late. Vice had my attention with the "Freedozen" code lately and their fun new colors but, I didn't need balls yet when it expired. 

Maxfli Tour X balls have never been on my radar. Found a good deal and Dicks Sporting goods had some credit they owed me so I grabbed 4 dozen of these on the real cheap along with a coupon today. Mostly, I picked these up because of the reviews on here. 

So, with my first outing with them today and I had my career best round, with a ball I've never used...

Driver Flight: Comparable to V1X, BX, and TP5X. Maybe a shade lower, for me. 

Workability: You can definitely move the ball around left to right. Maybe less pronounced than a lower spin ball but, I could move it both ways.

Feel: Definitely had that ting or click you'd expect from an X ball but, it wasn't any more repulsive that the normal. It wasn't a marble but, definitely not a marshmallow. 

Greenside Pitching and Chipping: The ball had very little issues grabbing the green for me on our dry and baked out surfaces in SoCal. Ball felt great off the putter (Scotty Cam TEI3)

Durability: This is the biggest deal to me. The ball was as durable as anything a ProV1X, and that is seriously saying something. I used the same ball the whole round and didn't switch out at all.

Love maxfli tour! 

[Stanks]

Ball after 18. Again, solid on all accounts.

Agreed, this is one of the most durable balls I've ever played. Easily comparable to ProV1. I once played 4 rounds with the same ball until I finally dunked it into the drink on a par 3. 

[kdphan]

Played a full round with the maxfli tour today.

Couldn't really tell the difference from Prov1.

Also happen to shoot the best round while missing a few short putts.

 

I think i'll play with these balls going forward.

I’m really enjoying them. My only complaint is the alignment mark. It is just gaudy to me. I wish they would lose the lines on each side of the “Tour CG”. I know that very personal but for some reason it’s just off putting to me.

That's why i stocked up on the 2019 model. Much cleaner looking.

Wish I had that option would definitely have done that.

loved the matte green. 
 

is there an appreciable difference between the 2019 version and the current one? 

[Tar_Heel_93]

2021 Maxfli tour ball is very different from the 2019 tour ball!!!

 

I have played 2 rounds now alternating between the 2019 and 2021 version of the Maxfli Tour balls. I really liked the 2019 version and thought it was a great alternative to the Pro V1. The 2021 version doesn’t work for me. It is great off my driver but is too long and doesn’t spin enough with my irons.  I have hit the same shot multiple times with each ball and the 2021 version goes 5 to 7 yards longer, bounces way up in the air off the green and doesn’t hold. The 2021 version just feels hot almost like I am playing hollow body irons instead of 2018 Apex MB or Wilson Staff CB irons.
 

I will get some numbers in the simulator to confirm what I have experienced on the course but the 2021 tour ball just doesn’t work for me. It is a shame because the 2019 version worked great. Guess I need to find a new ball or bite the bullet and go back to Pro V1s.

 

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the 2021 version?

[awtryau89]

I played the 2019 X for 2 years then switched to the new one this year during the winter months. Never noticed any appreciable difference other than the side stamp.

Did a quick test in the simulator over lunch and it supports what I experienced on the course. 7 iron 1 is with 2021 tour ball and 7 iron 2 is with the 2019 tour ball. These are the average of 10 shots. 2021 tour launches 1 degree higher, flies 3 yards longer, goes 4 yards farther and spins 500 rpm less. 

[wantacigar]

The majority of us average golfers would gladly take those numbers for the 2021.  Especially with game improvement irons.  I'm no where good enough to attack and stick them.  (hcp 17)

Do you always count on 12 yards of rollout with your 7 iron? I usually get 1-2 yards at most.

Also, there's some rounding going on there, as 163+12 = 175.

 

Glad I can look forward to gaining 3 more yards when I run out of balls and get new ones. 👍

Good point on the roll out 😀. That’s the data out of the launch monitor hitting off a mat. It usually pulls back on the course or into a green on the simulator. The difference that bothers me the most is the 500 RPM decrease in spin. I cannot get the 2021 version to stop on the greens. They just bounce over where the 2019 version hits and sticks. It is worse out of the rough where the spin is already reduced.

 

I may try the Tour X as that is supposed to spin more.

My biggest dilemma is my SS varies (off driver) from 90-100.  I hit my 7 iron 150-155 yds carry.  Would the Tour-X be too firm? Would my SS be sufficient enough to compress the ball?

My driver is 105 and it feels great. 

 

It's somewhere in between the pro v 1 and the X in terms of compression. 

 

I follow your posts on this sub forum. You don't need any more balls 🤣

I know!  I have a problem!  

However, I'm going to Florida in August and will likely play 4-6 rounds.  My son and two son-in-laws will likely play.  They are not players.   I'm supplying all the balls.  I have 4--6 dozen for them to lose that won't hurt me.  😂

At least I'm not alone! I have at least 9 dozen new balls, which for playing once a month should last a couple of years, yet I'm constantly shopping for more! LOL

HA! That's nuthin.  I have that in Top Flite D2 Feels and Callaway Diablo Tours.  Which will be the ones my son-in-laws and son will be playing in Florida.

Last fall I had 16 dozen 2019 Maxfli Tours, when they were clearing them out at 2 for $40
