New TaylorMade Ball

[iacas]

Well it took awhile for Sergio Garcia to switch from the Pro V1x (or was he using the V1? I forget) to the Maxfli BlackMAX, but he finally did at the end of last year or in the off-season... and now I hear he's playing a new prototype ball, and that I've heard we'll hear some big news about that towards the beginning of April or so. Could it be the renewed start of the TaylorMade ball?

Kenny Perry went back to the Pro V1x, and TaylorMade's last ball was the InerGel, I believe:


What clunkers those were!

Interesting, i would like to know how well they hold up with the v1, blackmax and b330. I bet they are pretty similar to the blackmax since taylormade owns maxfli.

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing the BlackMAX goes away and becomes the TaylorMade ball(s). They'll likely have two versions. Maxfli will then become the "value" brand (i.e. Pinnacle versus Titleist, Top-Flite vs. Callaway, etc.).

My reasoning for all of the above: 1) TaylorMade has said they'll have a ball sooner rather than later. This sounds like a good time for one. 2) John Daly signed on with Maxfli, which would be good for the whole "cheaper" brand - Noodles, etc. John isn't really your "$50/dozen" kinda guy. Maybe if women were that cheap... 3) B330s, two Hex Tours, two Pro V1s... that's why I think we'll likely see two different versions of the ball.

Erik makes a good speculation.

I'm playing the Taylormade Black ball at the moment. I only spotted it for the first time last week. Play's pretty good to. Sort of along the lines of the V1X

I heard last week on puregolf XM146 that TM plans on releaseing the balls and ads during the Masters. This was a Executive of TM that was on his program. We'll see as I would be interested in trying a sleeve.
