I like the slightly softer feelings balls like the AVX/MaxFli Tour S but not something super spongey like the chomesofts. 80 or so compresison is the money spot for feel and performance for me. I notice pretty much no difference between playing the AVX and Maxfli Tour S...other than people shaming you for playing Maxfli instead of Titleist lol. What's funny is When I play my Vice Pro, Maxfli Tour or Ksig V3 (SS around 93-95 - I like a ball a little clickier) I get a lot of curiosity and questions. Most people are interested in an equal less expensive alternative. Sometimes I get "Oh, I tried the "whatever ball" and just don't hit them as good as my ProV-1". I call bulls**t because they are a 20 hcp and there's no way they can see or tell any difference between a ProV-1 and any of the others I mentioned. I usually beat them by 10 strokes and it's even more sweeter when it's a Ksig. For some reason it hurts a little more to a ball snob. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite so far of the year, I was playing a lime green Vice Pro Plus, took s*** from a Titleist snob for most of the round. 18th hole, really tough hole to reach in two due to 4 huge palm trees in front of the green. You need to smash a drive to the right side of the fairway, and be able to hit a big draw from around 200 yards around the trees to have any hope of reaching in 2. Snob hit his drive his normal 270 down the middle, I hit my drive around 310 to the right side of the fairway, right where I wanted it. He lays up to the right of the trees, and walks over to me. He kind of chuckled when he saw me aiming way right with my 6 iron, and I said I'm just going to hit a big draw around the trees. Smacked a perfect draw, looked like a Kershaw slider gliding around the trees. When we got to the green, there was my lime green ball sitting about 12 feet from the hole. I just smiled at him and said not bad for a cheap green ball, huh? (of course I missed the putt, cuz I suck at putting) 8 Quote Driver: PING G425 LST/Callaway Epic Speed LS 3 wood: Taylormade mini 300 2 Hybrid Callaway Maverick 4 Hybrid Taylormade Superfast 5-UW: Ping i210 Maltby TSW sand wedge Odyssey OG 2 Ball stroke lab Titleist ProV1 left dash/Snell MTB-X/Vice Pro Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straphael Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I’ve gotten a few looks in tournaments about maxfli balls but mostly just a what is that mysterious creature. Got the same look when I played the Wilson staff model last year. Kinda a hidden gem that’s hidden because of brand bias not from lack of availability. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now maxfli gets the win and I don't see dicks discontinuing this one anytime soon. But the stare you get when you play at $$$ cc is real. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awtryau89 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Its funny because Vice seems to have the niche. I am a member at a private club and no one will shame you for what ball you play but anything other than Titleist is a rarity. We have a lot of younger mini tour players on staff with Srixon or Titleist. Our pros are Callaway and TM. All play different balls I would say 80% of the rest of the club members are playing Titleist though. I've played Maxfli before and get some funny looks. Put a Vice in play and everyone is curious. They've heard about them and how good they are and want to try them. Most think I'm playing an ancient ball if I am playing Maxfli though. I put it down to great social media marketing from Vice. Even the guys in their 60s are on some sort of social media and Vice has guerrilla marketed into their feeds.

Great ball, still have a few dozen left. Bought the 2020 OnCore Elixir in 🟡 assuming it was the same, it is definitely not the same ball as it's noticeably softer😔. Same cover/dimples.

Striker Ace Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 They don't seem to have the same buy 2 or 4 dozen for a better deal as the white yet, at least not online. I guess I'll have to use my 20 dollar reward on one box for now.

I am not paying $40 for Maxfli, at the price point might as well play Titleist AVX. Edited August 1, 2023 by khalespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe call customer support and let them know the yellow needs to be the same deal as the white and they may hook you up with some member points to use for it. They need to fix it. It is a pretty good ball though.

Other than that, I don't think I'd purchase any of the prior generation balls unless they were discounted. Seems odd that they have prior generation balls at the same price as the current models.

Straphael Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 At least with compression variations if they miss they miss harder compression. Can’t stand when you get an odd compression and it feels like a marshmallow off the driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANimz Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Since playing the '23 Tour X, I will say that in High Winds, I don't think it holds up as well vs premium balls. Still happy with the ball especially at the price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalespace Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Has anyone thought about using a mixed of S and X in a round. For example using S for a long par 4 with driver and X for more spin on a short par 3 with raised green where extra spin is needed? Is it even legal for amateurs to do this?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this would be fine within the rules. You just have to finish each hole with the same type ball you started it with. Having said that, I would rather play the same ball on both those holes as there’s a decent chance I’m chipping or pitching into the par 4 and will want that extra spin from the x or even tour.

Straphael Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 One ball rule would say you can’t. Unless you are playing an official tournament under usga rules do what you want. Only thing I would be worried about with doing that is carry distances change and you are gonna get sporadic with front to back dispersion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
