Check the dates on that. Old news from 2002.

Taylor Made sold the Maxfli brand to Dicks Sporting Goods in February of 2008. They retained the Noodle and some other balls from the deal. Dicks sells the Maxfli branded balls.

My head hurts. So the newest Noodle balls are made by T-made, but not Maxfli. Do the newest Noodles say Maxfli on the box? Now that I think really hard, I think no.

Interesting. When I saw that I just thought TM was making the Maxfli name go away, but I guess not.

It is confusing as you can go into a golf shop and see Maxfli Noodles as well as "no-name" Noodles. The store owner at Bonaventure Golf clued me in. He ought to know as he's writing the checks to the various equipment compaines that he sells.

The good news is that there are some lower priced / high performance balls available. You can get away with an all around great ball for ~$15-21/dozen. I'd still be loving them if I hadn't finally caved in and tried the ProV1. These balls have ruined me for anything else right now. They are simply awesome around the greens.


I really used this Noodle + Long & Soft ball a lot in the early part of this year. I found it to be a very decent substitute for the E5+ that I was gaming. Our pro shop had them for ridiculous prices, then add on your member discount and the fact that they were tax free (military base) and I found a high performing yet low cost ball. I still have a 4-ball sleeve of these that I may game on my next round....hopefully this Wednesday.

It's raining like crazy today....hope it clears up and dries out soon. I've gotta get a round in or I'll go nuts.

I picked up some Noodle Softies today, you can even tell their softer by feeling them. I haven't tried them yet but will in a few days. I'll give my .02 after I do.

I'm very curious to hear what you think. I love the ball.

I just bought my dad 150 of them. He`s 83,still practicing medicine,and plays 4-5 per week if the weather complies. He loves them,says they`re a great "old man" ball,but I do know they`re a really good,low-price ball.Tee it up!!!

Found this old thread.  Was looking for others who may have played both the Taylor Noodle "Long and Soft" and the Maxfli branded Noodle.  Was curious if anyone knew if the "formula" for both balls are the same or is the Taylormade version actually a different ball?  I've hit both and seemed to like the old Maxfli version better... but didn't know if this is just in my head or I'm actually sensing a real difference in the balls.  Anyone else play both of them?
