Noodles are only good to play a shot over water and not risk loosing a pro v1

[@LetsPlayThru]

You are spot on! 😆

[@michaelhennessey8927]

I'm right there with you, my buddy turned me into them. Distance, feel and control are fantastic. Stopping power on the green is fantastic.

[@anthonybasile7636]

The Maxfli Tour and Tour-X are made by Foremost and have ranked almost equally in a test with ProV-1. You should review them. I game them and they are fantastic

[@grantg3569]

agree. Tour x are a great ball and the price is great.

[@mjharvey1878]

Agreed. And like the direct to consumers, if you buy them in bundle they are only a little more than $2 a ball. Dicks always has them on sale.

[@bartdiaz3008]

Spot on. I'm not sure he's played the Tour or the Tour X. He might be talking about the Straight-Fli or Soft-Fli. He definitely needs to try the Tour and Tour X balls.

I was going to say basically the same thing about Maxfli Tour X. My current gamer.

[@supersoniq3506]

Agree. Great ball and price (2 dozen for 60).

Suggest trying Maxfli Tour. I switched from Pro V1 with little to no difference in distance or spin. Might change your perception.

[@joshlynch5676]

Best ball for the money.

[@josenegron8145]

I think the Srixon Z Star is a really good ball. Up to par with Vice Pro. I used those two and the Kirkland. And they are all pretty good quality.

[@coozieray]

Ive tried a box of the Qs and they were okay. Knew i should of got the Z Stars haha

[@Mancity1019]

Surprised to see Maxfli so low, the tour versions are as good as any top ball I’ve tried.

Started using Srixon Q Star Tour this year. Drives roll out to places I have never been before. Approach shots and around the greens they act like anything else I've played.

[@coozieray]

I got a few sleeves of those and they're definitely reliable balls, not the best but for the price you get your moneys worth. You tried the Z Stars? I heard those are better

[@danielcohen3159]

Gabe, you are all about stirring up some controversy this week, man! Love it. As with the golf brands video, I mostly agree with your choices, except for Volvik and Maxfli. Volvik's urethane balls are very good. I like the XT Soft in particular, which is very similar to the Vice Pro Soft or the Taylormade Tour Response. And the S3 and S4 are good ball, although extremely spinny and thus kind of short on distance - similar to the Kirkland or Mizuno tour balls. But they're fine if you don't mind losing some yards with both driver and irons. Maxfli's Tour and Tour X are fantastic. Not only do they test with numbers nearly identical to their Titleist counterparts, but (according to MGS and my experience) the consistency in quality is practically at Titleist levels. And they're, what, $15 cheaper and run specials a lot. Really one you should try, the Maxflis. Thanks for the video, Gabe! Enjoying your content as always.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I guess I was just in the mood 🤣🤣

[@sirkingaling3525]

Danial thank you for your input… what is your handicap? Do you play the “x” or the regular?

[@danielcohen3159]

@@sirkingaling3525 Hovering around 4 at the moment. But that's because of a run of good luck and some good scores. Normally it's closer to 6. I like the regular Maxfli Tour.

[@chrisbruggers8076]

Agreed Volvik S4 is a really nice ball

[@jean-francoisrobitaille6560]

The only place where I disagree with you is where you put Srixon. They should be higher. Very consistent balls for any class of golfers.

[@tonysheppard2943]

Maxfli Tour X is my ball. I switched from the ProV1X that I’ve played since it came out, about a year ago. As good as anything out there and $60 for two dozen. There are other good, cheaper balls out there, like the Kirkland ball, but none as consistent as the Maxfli Tour balls.

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

As you know I have been going through my dad’s bag and a few months ago found two unused tubes of balls. First up,Spaulding Strata balata balls. Took these to the practice green and have never seen a ball land so softly nor stop so,quickly. Next up Dunlop DDH, not a fantastic ball but ok on the range. I was glad to,see the Kirkland rates so highly, they are my go to ball. I cannot tell the difference between them and the Pro V1. Another great video Gabe. PS nice to see a PXG vets and active duty discount; we don’t get that in the UK. Although my dad was wearing a Retired Air Force hat (like me ex RAF) at Quantico and a Marine, in uniform, insisted on buying his lunch for him.

[@fuzzybanana3870]

The strata balatas were incredible balls but were so soft they did cost distance and just couldnt keep up. I had a balata putter and almost cried when it broke. Have never felt a softer putter.

[@andrewgudgeonobe2721]

@@fuzzybanana3870 I would give up distance for consistency and feel. I cut one in half, elastic wound around a liquid rubber filled core. Just interesting. I bet the putter was soft.

[@aarondrossart6026]

Fun fact.... Dean Snell (owner of Snell) designed the first prov1, but also designed noodle, taylormade penta and MANY other golf balls. Essentially... if it's a golf ball, he at least influenced the design in some way. I just ordered the new snell mtbx's. They have a deal on their website right now on the new balls that they JUST released.

[@rolandsteele2986]

Ok I’m going to try this OnCore ball just to see what all the hype is about. Great video!!

[@louiecarrion]

Great video, just one comment, Volvik has an S3 (3 Piece) and S4 (4 Piece), these are the tour level the LPGA pros use, they are just as good as the PV1 line, thank you for the great video, take care

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Louie

[@Unwrittenglory]

Srixon should be at least in the Would Buy category. The Q Star Divide is the only ball I'll buy new.

[@LetsPlayThru]

That is a good ball for sure

[@wesgarden74]

I play MaxFli Tour and love it. I also liked the Tour X, but decided on the Tour as it felt a little softer. You should put them in your Would Try list and give them a shot. Definitely better than the Meh balls.

[@tccrash3]

put me in the Maxfli Tour and Tour x camp! I took both Maxfli versions and my regular ProV-1 out several rounds and hit all 3 at my club. Maxfli felt and performed just as well or better than the ProV! Long with the driver, and high spin around the greens. I was honestly shocked at how good they were. Plus the alignment aid was better, and I think the cover was slightly more durable. After 2-3 rounds the Maxfli balls had zero blemishes. Considering you can buy 4 dozen to bring the cost down to 26 a dozen, I'm all in. I'm calling Maxfli the best ball in the market today.

[@conorholmes4796]

I’ve been loving the Kirkland v2.0 especially for the price, hard to see anything being worth paying that much more

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Recently switched from Vice to Kirkland. It was purely a cost decision since golf balls tend to vanish in the desert. Have you heard of LAB Golf putters? Would be interested to see your review on the tech. The tech is phenomenal but the feel is a big hurdle to overcome.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes it’s too bad Vice keeps raising prices. I did try my friends LAB once. Interesting for sure.

[@BigOleMatty]

[@christophersherman2437]

OnCore, Vice, Callaway, Titlelist, Taylor Made these are my Favorites in that order.

[@bathman6366]

Love this current series Gabe 😍 I fist-bumped when you put my go-to gamer the Kirkland in the top category. Previously I would play sub-£2 balls like the Callaway Warbird or Srixon Distance, but neither of these come close to the KS 3-piece design and soft covering. I actually played the same ball for 33 holes this week and it was in perfect condition still, before it was dumped in a lake 🤣

[@LetsPlayThru]

Ah those pesky lakes !!

[@BigOleMatty]

lmao back to reality when you lost it in the lake hahaha

[@caldean782]

Been playing the Kirkland for a few years now - great price and performance. That said, also play the Pro V1 and Taylormade but never bought any of them. Seem to find lots which keep me going. Have you noticed how you can grade courses by the quality of balls you find in the rough. Plenty of Top Flites at my courses and even found a Commando the other day... a blast from the past !

[@LetsPlayThru]

Very true Keith!!

[@tylerswanson4705]

Srixon underrated!

[@petegalindez9961]

You missed the most important category! FOUND balls…they are always pure class!!! If I don’t game them, they go in the shag bag, or at worst, I use them on the range to get a little better sense then a range ball…the most versatile balls ever!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Haha, I like it Pete!

[@sooners2win]

Noodle long and soft are a great 2 pc ball man. I game them often. Mostly Kirkland but I will play noodle or Wilson smart core also.

[@jsweat67]

I am almost 100% in agreement with this ranking. The only change I would make is that I would move the Bridgestone up to the "Pure Class" catergory. I will admit that I am a bit of a homer for Bstone as I have had the pleasure of getting to meet/know the CEO and a couple of of marketing/social media people as well as being fit by their master ball fitter. I guess that is part of what makes them Pure Class in my book.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Those sound like some Amazing experiences! I played Bridgestone for a while, before Vice and then OnCore. Great all around line. Very close to being Pure Class for me.

Pinnacle is better than you may think! They are made in the Titleist plant. They’ re good off the driver, 5h, 7i, 9i. Also as good, Wilson Zip and the Precept Laddie! I have been playing these lately as a test. I have been impressed how well they stop off a GW 90-100 yds drop and stop. That’s what I want! Crazy! You should do a three way two piece ball test!

[@richardescobedo6163]

Yup! I love the Pinnacle Rush, feels so strong off the tee box and just soft enough for nice touch around the greens with short irons and amazing value. I seem to never lose em like I lose every other ball haha

[@ajstclair]

I found an OnCore just off the 17th fairway of my local track - I had been going through a process of trying to "play every ball" and find something to replace the expensive Titleist. I played the OnCore on the 18th and was so impressed I thought it must have been a fluke. So I seriously tried OnCore after that and immediately made it my no. 1 choice, easily...easily as good as the Titleist and so much more ball for the price. way to go guys at OnCore.

[@joemomma1091]

Volvik S4 is actually a pretty good ball, especially 100 yards and in. I spin the ball too much with my wedges so it's not for me, but I never seen a ball check up so well from 30 - 60 yards.

[@markk171]

Yep, I game the Kirland balls..good ball and great value. Love these things! I also love the Titlest Pro V1X but WAY to expensive. Callaway Chrome is another I like but too expensive.

*I've been testing balls lately as well. Love to tinker. My swing speed has dropped now that I'm 65. Around 85-90. Always looking for more yardage! The other day at the range I hit a ball that went about 10 yards further than my current gamer Bridgestone e12! Today at the course I bought a sleeve to verify my findings and again they went further than the e12, Titelist Velocity and ProV1 by a good 5-10 yards! I usually drive the ball about 220 - today it was 230-233 consistantly! The feel around the green I'll have to adjust too. The Pinnacle Soft (2021) is now my new gamer! I'm just as shocked as you and I was just as doubtful. For those with a slower swing speed it might just be the ticket! I'm using an SIM2, 9* and the AutoFlex 305 shaft...great combo!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Hey, good for you if it works, Gil. Congrats

[@stevenl.halesr.6894]

Both it and the RUSH are better balls then given credit for!!!

Overall, i think we’re in alignment. Only change is that I would move Maxfli to “would try”. Their maxfli tour x balls are actually pretty good. Personally i play those, Snell mtbx, and ProV1x, and all 3 perform the same for me.

[@nickrawlings8436]

Maxfli Tour golf balls are excellent, Callaway supersofts are great for beginners and people with slower swing speeds, so they should be higher, Srixon Z-star balls are pure class as well.

[@ajankowski2]

I have been playing the 50 Elite for about 3 years now. For the longest time, they had proven to be as good as any of the more 'expensive' balls that are soft and meant for slower swing speeds. But lately I've been a little disappointed. The last 2 dozen I purchased had some 'duds' in the box. Off the club felt OK, but traveled a good 20 yards less than I was used to. Could be just a coincidence, but for now I am switching to Srixon Soft Feel. The feel a bit 'harder' off the club face and putter face, but they do travel a bit further than even my 50 Elites did before I got the boxes with some duds in them.

[@commonman317]

Good to know. I did try the Snake Eyes Extreme Distance golf balls for fun. They weren't half bad. Rockbottom has them pretty cheap right now too.@@ajankowski2

I don't think putting a brand as a whole in 1 category works, every manufacturer has crap and good balls. Also what you find "bad" a 70 year old might love. Splitting up the ranges would work better than just saying there so so as a whole package.

Hey that counts for something!

[@jbh199]

Great video Gabe. For senior golfers with slow swing speeds its pretty simple. The gap between longer and shortest drive will be 6 yards. The longest ball will be Titleist prov1x left dash. However for us seniors its all about 100 yards in. Therefore you need the spiningest ball out there. This happens to be the Kirkland 2.0. Go give them a try. Smash the like button 👇

Gamed the Vice's but with the prices increasing.. couldnt justify it anymore. They just arnt that durable and will show wear after sometimes only a few holes for me. God forbid I smoke a tree or cart path. However the lime green they offer? Possibly the best color out there for ease of finding. Its just so different from any natural thing you would find on course. Playing the Bridgestone B RXS and loving them, just wish those were cheaper :\ They are however quite durable.

@@LetsPlayThru: I live here in the states, and I ordered them through the Decathlon site online. Shipping was free if your order is over a certain amount, So I ordered a dozen of each. The 100 is a budget ball all about distance. The 500 is a Would Try type ball, a ball for most normal golfers. The 900 Tour is a Would Buy type ball.

[@jeffheiderscheit4581]

I think you are so wrong on Maxfli. I play Maxfli Tour and they are honestly as good as anything in the top price range. I'm not sure you've tested them because they get rave reviews. I've also played their Trifli which you can get 2 dozen for $40 which is a heck of a deal, and a good 3 piece ball with 40 compression. I'd recommend moving Maxfli up your list. Also, a lot of those direct to customer company prices are creeping up and don't feel like much of a deal when you factor in shipping. Kirkland is probably the absolute best ball for price.....$1 a ball is crazy and for how good they are, it's a no brainer. But for me, I've been sticking with, and playing Maxfli and getting great pricing on the buy 2 price they run at Dicks. I'm trying to stay loyal to one brand and learn to play that consistently, and for the bargain price, I think you can't beat Maxfli.

[@bruhnvh]

Nice vid, thanks- I hadn't seen anything from your channel before (subscribed). You're right when you say it's a contentious topic and that folks are never going to be in complete agreement on most of this, but I think maybe you jobbed Volvik a bit by basing your thoughts on experience with a blue one (terrible color)...would be interesting to get your thoughts on how the ball plays. Thanks again for producing/publishing this one.

Maybe a little but still as a 20 handicapper I play the RZN Speed, Cut Blue (which is not on your list) and Noodle.. did I say Noodle yep hey I like them! My favorite that I have tried is Both Snell and Oncore! Unfortunatly Snell isn't making any balls this year because of lack of material. Oncore well I live in Canada and with the currency exchange the Elixr at 29.99 comes to almost 40.00 a dozen. wish I could get them here. There are few that I would of put elsewhere on your list but hey its all for fun .. and its your opinion and your channel so who am I to disagree lol . Great video and love the video on ball balancing. That was an eye opener. Mark from Montreal Canada

Love the Pro V1 ball, but I'm beginning to see more and more of the Kirkland balls here in Scotland. People swear by it. Taylormade would also be there. Ha, l haven't seen a Pinnacle golf ball for about twenty years. Magic stuff again, Gabe.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Neil. If you get a chance definitely try those Kirklands out.

[@carl4291]

Neil, I find Pinnacles every twenty feet in the woods here in the United States!

[@melantheoszimurri9981]

I like your ranking I put all of these golf balls in the woods find category

[@LetsPlayThru]

🤣🤣🤣

[@rayfarrell9482]

You need to try the Wilson Triad!

[@jeffsharp104]

OnCore ELIXR is my go to ball and I also have a few boxes of Vero X1, just in case I get good enough to use a 4 piece ball. I’m generally around 100 mph give or take a few, so the ELIXR is the best choice.

[@peterdessington4211]

Srixon best selling ball here in South Africa. Half those balls tested not available here but I have tried a Kirkland....very good ball. Great review

[@arpjoe]

Just received two dozen Snell MTB-X today. Golfing tomorrow and see how they do. Looking to replace my Callaway Chrome Soft with the Snell that is $15 per dozen cheaper but has good performance.

[@goatman67al]

I game Pro V1x and tried the MaxFli Tour and Tour X. Great golf ball for $60 for two dozen. I think the Kirkland ball is 🗑 unless you wanna save money. But Kirkland as Pure Class? Putting the MaxFli balls in the same catagory as Top Flight and Pinnacle really?

[@rratcliff11]

Srixon Q Star tour is one of the best balls on the market especially for the price.

[@VG-913]

Hey. .. I know this is old but you can't do that to noodle. Noodle is a taylormade ball. It's so bad they refuse to put their logo on it but flip the box over and look at the bottom of the box. You'll see "taylormade golf balls" edit. Pinnacle is also owned by the same brand as titleist and made in the same factory as all titleists.

[@ronniekilburn8567]

I currently play Bridgestone, they are made an hour from me. I tried the Callaway and some others. I am not good enough yet to tell the difference. I would really like to try a set of the PXG 0211 irons and the 0811 driver. Great video.

[@jetdr]

just a mention on the not huge brand names, I have tried the Snell, good ball except the cover looked like it was thin paint that chipped after 3 good hits, the Volvik were really good, last forever and I didn't see any loss in yardage, lots of spin. the Seed in my opinion is a Pro V in disguise, could not tell the difference. The Oncore was horrible, I have Top Flites that feel softer than that box of Rocks. My favorite 3 are the Kirkland, Seed and Vice Pro.

[@justinpaul9843]

Just broke 90 for the first time - used a Top Flight until I lost it at hole 15, but man it played well until then.

[@larryproffer8603]

I don’t know which Maxfli ball you put in the dumpster list but the Tour and the Tour X balls are outstanding high performance balls. Otherwise I thought your selections and grading were reasonable.

[@lloydwilliams4368]

I think Rick Shiels even did a review of the Maxfli StraightFli ,$20 dzn, and tested fairly well.

[@justifiedpokemon3868]

Bridgestone balls are the only ball I’ll play. Pro V1 is good alternative but Bridgestone balls have the best feel to me.

[@andreslee7506]

thoughts on cut?

[@aidanmcnamara7989]

Seed have a ball in every range ie Seed 01=Pv1,Seed 02=Pv1x,Seed 05= Chrome soft & Seed 15 is similar to Srixon Ad 333. I currently play Seed01 and cant tell the difference. Also I find the kirkland balls cut up terribly, only lasting a round if that. I find the Seed 01 lasts numerous rounds and with their DTC model the more you buy the cheaper they get . Even with a dozen they are 1/2 the price of the big guys .

[@peters6454]

Bridgestone balls are my favorite. I like them more than Titleist tbh.
