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.

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.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
