...I have being playing golf for since I was a teenager and over the years have tried various balls - and of late, since gaining a reasonable handicap, have always opted for slightly softer balls, that give more control and feel around the greens.
Now to my mind the best ball out there for distance and feel is the Titleist Pro V1x and for a couple of seasons that is all I used, however since buying the house a few years ago and not playing as much golf as I used to the Ł30(+) per dozen is a little bit too much. So of late I have been using the Topflight Zbalata - which I hopefully write a review on shortly - but a couple of weeks ago I won 6 Maxfli Revolution.
The Maxfli Revolution, like many balls claims to give distance without loosing the spin or softness to give the control around the greens. The ball itself is a 3 piece ball...

It’s a new golf ball (well, relatively new) called the ‘Maxfli Revolution’. I first heard about it when one of the Sky Sports commentators happened to mention that a number of the top professionals had began to use it in preference to the balata ball, as it was giving them extra distance without sacrificing spin and feel on their iron shots.
So the next time I was in ‘Nevada Bob’s’ (my local golf superstore) I purchased a sleeve of three to try them out.
The Maxfli Revolution...

Advantages: safe bit of gear, great forwall use and beginners Disadvantages: can just be awkward and annoying - especially outdoors
...just before i begin, just like to point out those who dont climb might not understand much of what im taking about. sorry, it just really helps if you do.
i brought the belay master to help keep rope and stuff that little bit tidier on those long multi-pitch routes.
it basically consists of two parts, an HMS screw gate and a strange little plastic bit that clips over both sides to divide the crab in half along its length
the HMS screw gate is actually that little bit heavier than other gates on the market (only by a few grams, but it all adds up!). but feeling it in your hand, it becomes clear that it is a strong robust piece of kit. and it does what every screw gate on the market does, and is built to a very high standard. however, compared to other HMS gates this one is a little smaller and so the gates opening arc...
