I thought there were several players on TST that liked the TopFlite Gamer balls and since they were 2 for $30 on their regular ones and 2 for $35 on their tour balls, figured it was a good deal.

I enjoyed the Game Soft and Supersoft last year, and I recently purchased the new Maxfli Softfli 3 piece low compression balls for $25 for 2 dozen at Dick's.    If they are similar to the Gamer Soft that would be fine.

Just bought some siftflis and noticed that all of the blogs refer to it as a 3 piece ball. I live the Wilson duo and was I terested in the Wilson spin so I was excited to learn that I could buy good 3 piece ball @ 2/$25. After doing some research I think DSG made a typo because pics of the ball cut in half show it being two pieces. I'm not totally bummed out because ill probably like the ball since the duo felt like butter off of forged blades but just thought that having a third layer would give me a little more stopping power on short pitches. Still can't wait to see how it performs.

I play the Softfli on a regular basis and believe that it is 3-piece as Maxfli states:

Stick scoring shots closer to the pin with SoftFli Golf Balls. Maxfli®'s softest golf ball features a 35 compression rating and delivers a blend of soft feel and greenside control. The soft ionomer blend cover outfitted with a 332 dimple pattern further promotes soft feel while generating more consistent flight for all swing speeds. A 3-piece construction equips Maxfli® SoftFli Golf Balls with decreased driver spin for explosive distance.
FEATURES:
  • Maxfli®'s softest golf ball designed to optimize feel and performance
  • Compared to the 85 compression of Maxfli® Revolution, the 35 compression of SoftFli allows for exceptional feel and greenside control
  • Designed to promote decreased driver spin for improved performance through longer carry distance and added control
  • Soft ionomer blend cover formula allows for added greenside spin and control in the scoring zone
  • 332 dimple pattern creates consistent flight characteristics for all swing speeds
  • 3-piece construction for optimized control and distance
  • Conforms to USGA Rules
  • 12-Pack
  • Maxfli

The picture of the halved ball however does look 2 piece in Golf Digest.

i went to the nearest Dick's and picked up several golf polo's that they had on super tent sale lol....  most were Hagen's for about 20$$   and one was a Slazenger for 50$  which i tried to haggle down in price with one of the girls who was out their working... but of course i didnt win..... :(  but she was quite attractive lol.....

And i picked up 2 dozen of the maxfli supersofts, to try them out...  I do like the Maxfli U/3's   but i figured i could try these out too and see how they compare.....

It is what it is

The USGA list of conforming balls lists the Softfli as 2 piece.  The Softfli works well for me so I plan to keep playing it, but the discrepancy between Dick's advertising and specs and the USGA list and the halved ball picture in GD is interesting.  I suspect someone is in hot water at Dick's Marketing.

I .just verified with Dicks that the Softfli is 2 piece construction - but it will remain my ball because of the distance I get and good performance on the green.  It does explain why the 3 piece Gamer Soft has the edge on the green for my swing over the 2 piece low compression non-urethane offerings.

Yeah, I get better stopping power with three price and up. Only made the duo spin back once and the Cally super soft a few times. The old three piece Wilson FG tour was better than both cant comment on the new four piece offering. Wasn't swinging well when I took the softflis out the other day, will have to give em another run before judging them. Can't beat the price though.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
