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:

3,5 Wood Aldila NV 75s
Rescue Dual 16 deg 3i hyb

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.

I just noticed a local golf store has them in their Memoria Day ad for $30.00 so that makes $20.00 look pretty good.

    • Day 12: did the yardstick putting drill for a bit while watching tv. 
    • Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length. 
    • Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!
    • Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground. 
    • Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
