Anyone heard anything about the Maxfli Black Max? I found a great deal on those bad boys, and it says it has the urethane cover, same as the Pro V1x's...

Black Max is a good ball. Opinions vary, but I find them to be comparable to the expensive premium balls.

But, make sure they are Black Max, and not Black Max Distance or some other variant. The other versions of that ball are nothing like the original. Where can you get them, and for how much?

I would say go with Top Flight D2s. You can chooses Feel, Control, or Distance? i think. They are $16 for 15 balls, so a good price. I have compared them to Pro Vs, and will say that they are not as good, but for the money better.

I really like the Wilson Staff Fifty. If have bought at Wal-Mart for $16.00 a dozen, most other "sports" stores are $18.99 I think. I really like the way these balls feel. I have told alot of people I am around about these, I think they are an EXCELLENT ball for the price

I'll add another recommendation for the Top Flite D2 Feel. I switched from the Callaway Big Bertha and the D2 Feel is longer and softer than that ball.

All I need now is to stop flying the ball over the green.

Of course the pro v's are tough to beat.  So when I am on a course that I know, or I know won't gobble up my tendency to pull my tee shots, I splurge and use them.  But being from Michigan, I play a lot of 'up north' golf, which means, tight fairways, many trees, and (because it's usually a golf trip with the guys) a few extra barley pops.  No cheepie I've played feels better than a Noodle.

Welcome to The Sand Trap Jack.

Have you ever tried the Precept Laddie for a cheap ball?  I have tried the Noodle, but still like the Precept Laddie.

I recommend the Top Flite Gamer. It is a great ball for the price. It goes on sale pretty regularly at the price of 2 dozen for $35 or $30 (depending on the sale).

+1 for the Northern Michigan golf..  playing those holes caved out of forest can be challenging.   Great place for a golf weekend with the guys.

The balls of choice for me are from MG Golf.  They are re-badged balls from a mainstream manufacturer (used to be hogan balls, then I think Callaway).   They are balls with the spin rate of premiums, and the price of cheapies -- $20 per dozen.    No marketing, minimal packaging, just the best new balls $20 will get you.

I think the Snake Eyes balls from Golfsmith are great.  I think they are actually Srixon balls (or so I was told). But at 3 dozen for $30.00, they are a good deal.  They are not as hard as most "cheap" balls and they play well with the wedges, etc.

The Nike PD series have been one of my favorite less expensive golf balls. Not too hard or mushy and they perform better than many other ones I've tried in that price range

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
