Looking on the 2012 golf ball hot list and see the Maxfli U/3 ball... 3 piece, soft feel, low spin? Does anyone have any input on the ball because it looks like pretty good just dont like maxfli products.

Maxfli U/3

Price: $25/dozen
Medal: Silver

Performance: 4 stars
Innovation: 4.5 stars
Feel: 3.5 stars
Demand: 1 stars

Tech Talk: This three-piece ball has a soft urethane cover that's designed to increase wedge-shot spin, and its 422 large and shallow dimples promote a higher flight. The soft DuPont HPF 2000 polymer mantle layer is designed to reduce driver spin, specifically hooks and slices. The low-compression core (65) is aimed at increasing the ability of players with lower than tour-level swing speeds to compress the ball.

Verdict: For this type of construction, the price is relatively incredible, and the performance makes it worth a second look.

I haven't tried the U/3 but am currently playing the U/4 and I really like. It's as good as anything I've played before and I picked them up when Dick's was having a buy one get one sale so they came out just under $20/dozen.

Another option in that price range would be the new Gamer Tour. It's a three piece urethane covered ball.

Maxfli used to make some great cheap Tour-level balls back when they were owned by TaylorMade. Dick's Sporting Goods owns then now, right?

Yup... Dick's owns them. Still pretty good balls though.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
