Kind of funny... I won a sleeve of those chrome soft balls for having the low net score in my league. I decided to pull one out and hit it on a drive in a scramble. I absolutely smashed a drive, and I noticed right away that it didn't go nearly as far as my Pro V1s. I thought it would be longer, and just not spin as good. Turns out it was WAY shorter, and DIDNT spin as good too. I gave them away.

ive never had an issue with that. For me its avoid cleaning a ball near water. You use the ball cleaner and you are guaranteed to hit your next shot in water.

Most important thing you said, I’ve always disobeyed, because I’ve used “found balls”, but I understand what you mean in various performances. If a certain swing places the ball right next to the cup, if I use a different ball I may be short, long, or off line depending on the ball I use, so using always the same performing ball gives one a huge advantage.

I’ve been playing the new Kirkland and it seems that it is a little bit shorter than the pro v1. Not a bad thing though because it doesn’t go as far into the trees when I hit it

I play the Maxfli Tour X. I’ve had very good results-distance, spin, and feel, are(to me), on par with any ball I’ve tried. You can usually get 2 dozen for $50.

And for being called a chrome soft it’s not exactly got the softest touch around greens. But you are right about the Pro V1 and your speed may be absolutely ideal for a chrome soft.

I worked and played a course were a lot of balls were lost in the brambles and woods and it amassed a collection that filled up eight five gallon buckets. I would take different brands of balls out on the course and compare them by hitting straight, fade and draw shots to compare carry, roll and the ability to shape the shots. There is a marked difference in performance of urethane covered balls which is seen when trying to shape shots. It’s possible to shape any ball, the difference is how much one needs to open or close the face and stance to do it. For a beginner who has trouble hitting range balls straight and keeping the ball in the short grass when playing, a premium urethane ball will result in more lost balls due to slices and hooks than the less expensive balls. But please keep buying and playing those ProV1s so I can keep finding them in the woods. 😂

The whole idea of the AVX is to give players who hit it too high a lower ball flight. Most likely you have a more steep angle of attack in your swing, and that's why you hit the ball high.

The Kirkland Performance Plus is a great ball. I agree the distance off the club is a bit shorter but its spin around the green and approach shots is excellent, . Again, the price is excellent for a 3-piece ball. The dispersion is about the same as any ball under $35. Despite the price, they perform extremely well for players with swing speeds 105 or below.

My go to balls was the Bridgestone Tour Rx, but for 2022 I now play the Maxfli Tour CG. Price for 2 dozen on sale is $30 per dozen with a two dozen purchase at Dicks. Honestly, I can’t see any difference between the Bridgestone and Maxfli, other than saving $20 per dozen. I play 160 rounds per year and a 5 handicap senior player. If you are looking for a urethane covered quality ball, the Maxfli checks all the boxes.

Tried a box of Cut Blue balls on a whim and had my best day driving in many years. Hit more fairways and picked up noticeable yardage off the tee, putting several drives in places I’ve never reached before. Maybe the lower compression works better for slower swing speeds??? I’ll definitely give the Maxfli Tour balls a go.

I play to Cut Blue and have had no issues with distance, or spin on the greens. The only slight negative is it seems to be slower on the greens, but since I generally hit putts too hard anyway, it hasn't been an issue

Started playing Kirkland balls a year ago. My handicap has dropped from 10 to 8 in the last year. Not too shabby for a 58 year old. The Kirkland balls are as good as anything I have ever played including Pro V's and TP5's, Bridgestone's and Chrome soft. I have played them all in 45 years of playing golf. I recently played 4+ rounds with the same Kirkland ball so they last. One of the rounds I shot 1 over par.

Depending on the day and how I feel after warming up... love Vice... just look beat up after a couple of rounds, Chrome if I am all over the play...Srixon if I bought it myself, otherwise no idea what it is if picked up off the course. Bad golfer, that is me... but what I do.

Steve, great breakdown of the golf balls. I have to agree that the Titleist ProV1 is the best ball on the market! Well done !

I've had great rounds with the Callaway Chrome Soft, last week I was out driving some good guys who were using drivers, I was going Chrome Soft and 3 wood. The ball I avoid is any Warrior ball, I lost 4 dozen way faster than I thought possible, though 1 of them was headed OB and spun back into play. But just that one.

Callaway Supersoft and Callaway Diablo Tour are great golf balls to use IMO!

Maxfli is great, been playing it recently. They are usually about $29 a dozen, I got some on sale a couple weeks ago 2 dozen for $50

I play the maxfli I do the neon orange balls they are awesome and easy to find they really stick out. 2 boxes for 30 dollars they are my go to good performance but just for the color alone I love em

How can I take this serious if a ball on the top 5 best list is also on your bottom 5 list?

I played the gamer tour then the gamer urethane for 2-3 years. Absolutely loved them. The only problem was the cover would shred on the first wedge shot, but I didn’t care. The value and performance for my game was far worth it. I was very sad this year when I found out that they got rid of the urethane cover with the new gamer. I tried a box and absolutely hated them. I couldn’t hit them straight off the tee and I got almost no check on the greens, which added strokes to my game. I wish they would make a urethane cover top flite ball again, I would have played them for years to come.

Great video

I would agree that the Vice Pro is a pretty good ball at lower speeds, 85-90 mph. Once you start getting faster than this, other balls start zooming way ahead in distance. Good comment.

Also pass over the single ball overrun bin at the golf store. Some defects are not printing errors. Compression consistency is often an issue.

i play with maxfli tour and they're 35 bucks for a couple dozen (like 22 for one box) and i used to play with random balls but since making the switch- i play much more consistently and i can count on my club selection, its the best decision i've ever made. i dont think im good enough to play the pro v1 yet so the maxfli tour is really good for guys like me.

Great video.... But let's be honest..... for anyone at the skill level that would be watching this video the quality and construction of the available modern golf balls today would have VERY little impact on their game. Most of us would benefit more from a couple of lessons and a bit more time at the driving range.

@@imxploring love the new maxfli balls. Used to play the Maxfli HT'S when they first went to urethane. Then they screwed it up when they went to the Black Max. Now they seem to have gotten back on the right track again. The best deal I found at Dicks was two dozen for $50.

I have 2 balls on display in my basement. A Wilson Smartcore I found and 3 holes later I aced a 219 yard par 3 with. Also have a ProV1 I aced a baby 125 yarder with. The Wilson was smashed low into the wind with a 1 iron (no lie... honest) and rolled up the green, tho I never saw it until I got up there and looked in the cup. The ProV I hit almost exactly 3 inches just to the side of the cup and it bounced forward before drawing back in. I doubt that Wilson could have done that! The right ball at the right time!! I haven't hit the new Maxfli but I did like the older U4 ones I won a box of over a lot of other bigger names. Taylor Made bought Maxfli years ago to get into the ball market then sold them to Dick's and I liked the U4s over the TMs I played. Still a ProV guy...

Absolutely stunned. Who would have thought that much cheaper premium golf balls like Kirkland and Wilson Duo aren't as good as Pro V1s, TaylorMade TP5 and Tiger Bridgestone?

I found one of the maxfli softfli and played it off the next tee, was my longest drive ever on that hole at the time. I know it is low compression but they really go. From the senior (shortest tee) I have gotten my handicap down to 5 with these balls (index 10.0). 2 dozen for 35.00 at Golf Galaxy (owned by Dick's). Used to play Kirkland but LOVE the Maxfli SoftFli!!

The most important tip you gave was to alwatys use the same ball... even if you arent a great player it will improve your game by simply having the same feel when putting. Putting is what makes or breaks your game. The more consistant your putting the better you will do. Iam a disable vet now, but used to play scratch golf. I can barely swing now and have purchased 8 doz Taylormade distance plus balls. I have heard that for seniors and people with slower swing speeds that this ball is a real winner. Can you do a test of this ball on the basis of senior golfers. Would be interested to see what you have to say about it. At 12 bucks a doz on sale at amazon it is a great price point... remember... always use the same ball.... another neat video would be the most interesting old ball video... what you liked and used and why. Accushnet club specials were my favorite as a junior... loved the royal with hexagon dimples and as a kid... who can forget the "Oh Shit Specials. Didnt care about performance but they were fun to play with.. really cheap at Canadian tire in the 70s. But I lost a lot of balls... so they were perfect. My all time favorite ball was thr Taylormade TP Black 100 compression ball. Used them for years and it was all I played... except a cheapie when shooting over water with a very dangerous approach... lol. Always enjoy your videos... thx.

I would recommend playing a urethane ball for the greenside spin. Will make a huge difference if your score and you won't lose any distance.

Hey you're one of many who has made this comment. The MGS testing measure ball speed about 2 mph slower on the AVX vs. the ProV1. Maybe send them an email. if you're a better golfer, the biggest drawback of the AVX is that it has 4 times the dispersion of the ProV1 - it just isn't very consistent. Thanks very much for the comment - I'm always up for agreeable disagreement.
