TaylorMade Burner TP vs Maxfli Tour Fire

Mainly looking for putter softness comparison

I know it's been said many times before these are essentially the same ball, but before I buy another sleeve of balls this year I wanted to confirm something. Hopefully there's people here who have played both.

Is the Burner TP as soft off the putter? Tour Fire is quite soft - ProV1ish to me.

Any other comparisons - cover, spin rates etc are greatly appreciated.

Same ball IMO.

I really like it off the driver and putter, but really don't care for it off irons or wedges.

Where you from in Vancouver?

Irons and wedges not spinny enough? Too mushy?

Right across from Fraserview. So when we gonna go play?

Just me but they feel really dead off the irons, and the cover shreds for me.

Chipping they feel clicky.

But for driving it is one of the best balls I've ever hit, goes really well into the wind and distance is up there with everything I've hit.

I guess I've learned my lesson trying to play "mid tiered" balls most of my golfing career (Strata ML Balata, NXT tour, Precept U-tri Spin), they never really measured up compared to a "top end" ball, at least for me. But some people really prefer them, especially if you lose 2-3 a round on average.

I play alot of golf out at Riverway, we should definately get a game in.

I'm liking the Tour Fire for a cheaper alternative right now, but definitely prefer high end tour quality balls. I think I've about tried them all this year. Find the Tour Fires chew up easily as well so I'll just skip the Burner TP all together. I had picked up a bunch of the Maxflis when Perfect Lies had em on cheap.

Anyways I do all my practice outta Riverway and play there quite often. Message me if you know you're gonna be down there sometime, would be cool to at least meet.
