That's good news, handlez42.  I gamed the maxfli Tour LC because I need a ball for slower swing speeds. then, they quit making them.......Now I can roll with the new Maxfli!

yea like i said they have a prov1-prov1x relationship going with the u/4 and u/4x which for your not sure what you prefer but im sure it all comes down to if you want a soft contact ball with a little more spin and height off the tee (u/4) or a lower ball flight slightly firmer feel off the tee (u/4x) but again if for some reason the tour level balls aren't your cup of tee they have soft feel balls distance balls and spin balls that are supposed to be considered "below tour-level" characteristics and from what i can tell from the more expensive offerings im sure the other parts to the lineup do just as well.

i think titleist could be right in saying its not a ball made for tour players. just needs to be hit properly and it will do great things. what they dont realize is that other companies make some of the same which is why the maxfli tour ball is a good fit.

maybe a u/4 for you? a little more spin might help with the distance but like i said the preference to the player is key. no different they a putter.

    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
