My local AFB course just started carrying Taylormade/Maxfli stuff and they had Black Max ball for $5 a sleeve. Hmmm, let's see, 5, 10, 15, 20...

I bought the whole box. Should I tell them of thier mistake or just wait for the next box to be put on the shelf?

In The Bag:
R7 425 10.5 Fujikara ReAx stiff
3,5 Wood Aldila NV 75s
Rescue Dual 16 deg 3i hyb
R7 XD steel/stiff 52deg and 56deg TP White Hot XG 2 ballHome Course: River Crossing

doesn't have to be a mistake... Blackmax is being more or less discontinued and the TP's are taking over as the flagship ball - they probably just cleaning up the inventory. I suspect with a breaks that AFB could get - their cost is a $1 a sleeve anyway

The Blackmax may get slightly less press in the future because of the TM balls, but I would be surprised if they disappeared. After all, Maxfli is a separate brand that has plenty of valuable properties (e.g., the Noodle). Plus, they just signed John Daly up as an endorser and he will be/is currently playing the Blackmax:

Personally - I doubt it. he was signed end of February, that's almost 3 months ago, TM ball wasn't really out there yet, I believe even Sergio didn't start using it until march or april... I'm sure big John will make them give him the best ball they have

My understanding is that they'll continue to create BlackMAX for John, but they have the RedMAX and the Noodles, and I think that's all they'll be developing going forward. They'll look to get John, I feel, into another ball in the off-season.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
