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 £30(+) 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 (hard inner core, softer outer core and then a thin outer cover), the same as many of the top performing balls. In play I have to say that it performs well, the distance is good (although not as good as the Pro V1x) and the feel off the club face is nice, it does not feel soft like a balata but is far from being hard, it is just enough to give you the confidence to attack chips and puts. With a good strike the ball spins well.
The ball is also relatively durable, with it staying in good shape despite a few thin shots, however after a couple of rounds with the same ball (which for me can be a rare set of circumstance !!) the cover does start to suffer a little from some chipping / flaking but that can tend to happen on the Pro V1x too.
Given all of the above plus the fact that a dozen of can be picked up for £15.99 (from county golf direct) they form a good overall package and one that I will definitely be considering in the future.
