Fred Funk and Maxfli

[willmillar]

I saw some recent video of Fred Funk shooting his age (66 I believe) and noticed he's wearing a Maxfli hat.  Is he playing a version of the Maxfli Tour ball?  I couldn't see it in the video.  How cool would it be to see a pro using them in competition, even if it's on the Champions Tour?

I saw that too, very interesting.

I switched late last season from a ProV1 LD to the Maxfli Tour ball because of change in my irons. I’ve never liked the ProV1x and the ProV1 was a little too low launch for me. I found the Maxfli Tours to fit right between the ProV1 and the ProV1x LD for me. I was quite surprised by the consistency and feel of the Maxfli Tour. Ended up buying a 48 pack on sale & with a coupon for less than $90.

Per Getty Images Fred was wearing the Maxfli hat during this past seasons Champions Tour. Probably a low cost deal for DSG. Good for Fred.

A professional could win with a Vice, Maxfli, Snell, or several other dtc balls. They’ve been proven to perform as good as OEM’s golf balls.

Yes, I saw that also on TV last summer and posted about it in the Maxfli ball thread, but never got a response.  Would be interesting if he had the ball in play.  I believe he was the leader after the first round, with the lowest driving average in the field.

I was hoping that someone may have seen the ball he was using.

Just did a comparison of the Maxfli Tour-S and the Callaway Chrome Soft and found very little difference between them other than price.

 

I've been playing the CS for the last year and decided that the Tour-S might be a better ball for my game so will be putting it in the bag this year.

With the demise of the Duo Pro, I've been thinking about ball options.  The Tour S gives me another choice to explore.  

 

I've tried the Vice Pro Soft and the Chrome Soft, neither have quite hit my target...
