Which discontinued balls do you miss the most? which do you use now?

[Philip9210]

I saw a few people mention the callway red and blue's, they have these on clearance at my local walmart for 11$ a dozen, is it worth it to pick up a box or two?

[Big_M]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Maxfli Fire balls... they have been under $15 a dozen quite some time, sometimes $9.99 and play very close the the NXT Tours. I have about five dozen left from when I stocked up at the 9.99 price, and I might just pick up another few dozen if I see them anywhere. So technically I don't miss them yet, but they are getting harder to find.

I also miss the old Starta Tours and Taylormade had a nice cheap ball about 10 yrs ago, but I don't recall the name.

back in high school i fell in love with the maxfli revolution. cheap, durable, great feel. in my opinion, those damn balls were better than the titleist professionals back then. i'd take a rev tour over a pro v1 any day, but sadly they don't make them any more.

wow, i cant believe someone else loved the maxfli revolution. that was easily the softest ball i've ever played. the slightly off yellow look to it was lovely as well when i found it. you could never find a completely white maxfli revolution. loved that ball.

Titleist professional and the original Strata balata

The "Vardon Flyer"!! Just kidding! I used to love the Precept EV Extra Spin.

So it seems a lot of folks like the old Callaway Blues and that Dicks often has older balls in stock,,, So one should check their local Dicks for Blue Balls?


sorry :)

[motteler621]

yea I use to love this ball back in 2000. It was really soft and I think it was called a strata.

awesomeness.

In the 60s I played a Maxfli ball that had a circled green dot on it. I thought that was so cool. They also had balls with red dots, but I really loved those greens. In those days about the only thing we knew about golf balls was high compression (professionals only), medium compression (most recreational golfers), and low compression (juniors, women, the elderly). To this day I mark my ball with one green dot.

Maxfli HT Urethane ball. Loved it!

yeah... the Maxfli Revolution was my first thought when I read the title of the thread. At the time, it was one of my favourite balls.

A couple others I remember going way back.

If you liked Greg Norman in the '80s... you at least tried that ball. They weren't very expensive either

Whatever happend to STRATA?

[Cussin hacker]

Maxfli from the 80's. I forget the name but it had a hexagon dimple design. Nice soft feel and long. Played that ball exclusively for a few years.

[rickola]

Maxfli Black Max . . .

so, now I'm gonna try Dick's reincarnation, either U4 or U6.

[tomvk77]

tour balata

[Yukari]

Ditto for me.  The original urethane covered Revolution was the most softest ball I've played.  I loved that feel off the putter face.

now, i buy recycled balls and find them at night on a particular hole where there's always plenty of pro v's and callaways. it always amazes me how people will pay so much for golf balls, knowing full well they can't hit the ball straight, but i guess i can't complain cause they provide me with great balls!

I miss the Callaway i(S). Now, I use all Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Occasionally, I throw in a Nike RZN or 20xi.

[dbuck]

Titleist Pro Trajectory 90's and 100's and Maxfli HT 90's and 100's. Now I play mostly Titleist Solo's and ProV's, Bridgestone 330RX's and 330's, and Noodles.
