Joking aside some time around 1997-1998 Top-Flite had balls named system-T and system-C that were supposed to be optimized for the Taylor Made Ti-Bubble II and Callaway GBB drivers respectively.

 

Not sure how they sold and not sure anyone would admit buying them.

 

I do know, they were basically Surlyn distance balls and were maybe $15-20 a dozen.

For who's budget, the military? 😀

This is so suss.

 

The CEO doesn't list his/her whole name.

 

It looks like it comes out of South Korea... AutoFlex style. AutoBall must be trademarked. Homeboy in the lower left flashing Korean gang signs..

 

 

The World Record Committee is even more suss.

 

I'm more interested in the dog than the AttoMax

The SF address looks to be a Regus building and it looks like multiple law firms have this same address listed.

too rich for my blood

For that price it better track to the hole like a javelin missile. Need a YouTuber to waste their money and give a full review.

Tik Tokers are gonna love these.

Even if they would go further there is any easy solution to distance woes that won't cost you extra money... move up a tee box! 

[SwingBlues]

damn, thought this was another WRX over priced Titleist left dot thingo balls sale...never mind... back to the ATTABOY balls 😂

[rd1959]

Well, somebody actually bought these things. I just watched a video from Rick Shiels who bought and tested these against a ProV-1 and, to no one's surprise, They are $200.00 worth of nothing.

100% a Korean brand, but it's fun watching everyone jump over themselves to take shots because of where their fancy PO box is located. http://attometal.co.kr/html/main.html

Callaway superhot is the same construction I think - 15 for $21

[ANimz]

Rick Shiels posted a YouTube video about them today.  

[Whodamon1]

"In a certification test conducted using a WRC-approved robot swinger, the Attomax golf ball flew 13 to 18 meters (15 to 20 yards) more than the 13 types of golf balls from 10 other brands."

...ummm...who is doing the math for these rocket scientists?

They are directly aimed at people who buy clubs like the new Big Bertha irons at $450 per club.  Money is not important.  Status is everything.

From what I have seen so far for anyone that buys them,  hopefully sound, feel and performance aren't important either.

[NJgolfer11]

If anything, this gives golfers an excuse to look for balls longer in the woods 🤣

I decided to become a guinea pig for this. Got a dozen and decided to play a round with my son (He's +2 handicap).

 

I could not find any crazy distance increase in 4 holes. I hit a second shot with an iron on the 4th hole, felt like I could not hit any better thinking it will be next to the hole ended up 10 yards short. I changed back to my proV1....

 

On the last hole after we hit tee shots, both of us decided to try this crazy ball for the last time. It was about 240 yards to the green. I hit a 3 wood ended up 20 yards short to the green where my son hit a 5 wood and passed the green by almost 20 yards. 

 

His tee shot was about 20 yards further than normal as well. My swing speed is around 95-100mph and my son's swing speed is a way faster as he comfortably hits over 320.

 

I did not see any difference especially with irons. My son, however definitely thinks this one flies further. Even my shot's flight was a lot higher than normal. 

 

I think this ball is for a hard hitter.. Ball feels rock hard like pinnacle as your nails could not get into the ball at all when you try to press it. 

 

I gave the whole dozen to my wife and told her not to hit them when she sees water on the way to green... puhahaha..

 

It was not impressive at all on my side but my son gained distance a lot. However, he did not like delicate shots around the green. Not easy to shape the ball as grooves are shallow and big. 

 

Should I try it for another round? I am thinking but not very impressed with these.. I even know the CEO of this company personally as they used to make clubs, apparels and balls in the past in Asia. 

 

For me, this is a dud... Do not get your hopes up...

Just go out and get the left dot and save $50 a dozen.

First post seems legit lol

Aww shucks.  I was really hoping for a "hidden Korean technology" story but this looks to be a flub dud

And of course if they were ever sanctioned for play everyone would want an amendment to  18.2 (a) 1.

Proposed Rule Revision-

18.2 Ball Lost or Out of Bounds: Stroke-and-Distance Relief Must Be Taken

a. When Ball Is Lost or Out of Bounds

(1) When Ball Is Lost. A ball is lost if not found in three minutes after the player or his or her caddie begins to search for it. The three minute time limit is extended by 1 minute for every dollar an idiot pays for a single golf ball over $4.00.

That would include Titleists then.

True, but you only get 1 extra minute @ the MSRP of 49.95. Pretty sure they already take that on the tour. 😆

[NNJ]

The “world record” is suspect, but what’s even more suspect is their own numbers…

 

at 110 mph swing speed on a robot, the ball went 320 yards indoors, and 277 outdoors…I mean, a lot of us hit further on the sim, but a 43 yard discrepancy is pretty wild, they must have the golf shop extra distance settings turned up to 11 or something 

[cardia10]

The funny thing is that left dots were selling for this aftermarket with people expecting those type results while all trackman testing shows it didn't even outperform a Maxfli...
