Sweetest ball since introduction of ProV1. Long, super-soft, has a very solid feel, great hop-and-stop on the greens. I also tried B330's from Bridgstone (Precept), but didn't like the click it was making while putting - similar feel to putting with a TopFlite.
Might be a coincidence, but my first round with the BlackMax was my personal best 69 !!!
I'm in love

I too like this ball have played it down in myrtle.Only draw back is the Maxfli lable wears off and makes ball look damaged or used more than it is.

are you lining up with the logo in the back ?

I played 2 rounds with one ball and no sign of wear or tear... (includes one bounce off a rock...). I guess if you catch it right with a wedge it might happen, or you got a ball from the "thin-paint" batch

Bimmer? Is this you?

I do drive BMW, but never used that nickname.. I also don't recall any relationship to TGC, so I guess the answer is "no"

Sorry dude. There is a guy on The Golf Channel discussion boards that used to use the same name you do and because he too is a TW fan when I saw the pic of TW's wife and twin sister I made what I now realize is an erroneous assumption. Sorry about that. SS

I might need to pick up a dozen of the BlackMax to see what the hype is about.

On another note, I was at a Bridgestone/Firestone plant on business one time and visited their "Gift Shop" and found golf balls for fairly cheap. They also had Bridgestone/Firestone golf shirts, hats, coolers, pens, etc, etc.

I still like the B330 and the V1x. I don't care for the BlackMax all that much. I don't like how it feels around the greens or how it yellows.

Yellows??? I'm afraid to ask what does your course use in the ball washers

But seriously - B330 had for me very "clicky" sound off the putter face, it felt like I was connecting with a ping-pong ball. Except for the sound/feel of the putt - agree it's a very good ball. Can't say nothing bad about v1x, except for the fact that it price is way up there, hard to find a bargain on eBay. The Blackmax around the green? I guess it's a personal and very subjective preference. I could play any of these 3, so it's the "best deal on Ebay" criteria now

I have a couple rounds in with the BlackMAX now and I have to say that I'm very impressed. The durability is great and I've been very happy with the flight of it. I'm going to take it out to the chipping and putting greens to compare some more but so far it's doing good.

Well one day I went on this big "registering binge." I'm almost scared to tell you what other names I have registered. So I reg'd a few golf related urls and rather than pointing them nowhere I just pointed them there...When that one runs out I'll probably just see if jason wants it....

Gotta agree with all the positives on the BlackMax. I always liked the ProV1 but often tried different balls to see how they felt (I'm sure I'm the only one here that does that ). A couple months ago I tried the B330s, Hogan Tour, and the BlackMax and couldn't find anything I didn't like about the Maxfli. I was never a fan of Maxfli's in the past and actually wasn't even going to try this one but I figured it couldn't hurt. During my abusive testing (yeah, it hit a cartpath and made a direct hit on a trap rake in the same round) this ball holds up very well and unlike the old Maxfli balls I haven't seen any evidence of yellowing. I really like that the ball doesn't seem to have a lot of spin off the driver yet it stops quick on the green, even on the hard winter greens we get down here in Florida. And the big plus: Edwin Watts has them for $29/dozen.

      Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.

      So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.
