    I use these balls a lot! I am a disabled golfer, and my distance and ability to hit the ball well has diminished as my condition worsens. These balls have actually helped me a lot on tee and fairway shots. I replace them on the green with regular Callaway Super Soft balls, and my golf buddies have no issue with me doing that. They really have helped my ability to strike the ball better, and have actually helped me get some distance.

    Rick, funny story. I typically hit Srixon. Yesterday while looking for my ball in the woods I found this odd looking Calloway ball. Well for the rest of the match I started hitting it. I played very well with it for some reason. It wasn’t until I put it in the ball holder in the golf cart that I realized it was larger than the rest. I had never heard of them before and just so happen that your video today was about them. I just ordered 2 dozen to try out! Thanks for the video. Without much thought I Personally felt like my drives were slightly higher and longer and my chips were on point.

    Hi Rick, the larger ball does not rotate more often, the reason why you would need to hit it harderd when putting is the higher friction it creates due to the larger contact surface with the grass. It's the same principle as tyres. Wider tyres have a better stopping distance to to a larger contact surface.

  • @otto2thematic
    @otto2thematic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like many of the comments state, this golf ball is incredible. At first I just thought it was a mental thing, but having used it now for a month or so (10 + rounds), I truly believe it has made a difference in my game. I'm anywhere between a 9 - 11 handicap depending on the season and whatnot, but last week (August 2022) I broke par for the first time in my life with a -1 (70).
    If you have never played with or seen one of these Callaway SuperSoft MAX balls, you truly won't believe how much bigger they are compared to a normal ball. My buddies flip me a lot of shit, calling it a "beach ball", but it seems to just help me visualize my shots much better.
    And surprisingly, this ball has helped the most when it comes to my putting. I'm not the best putter by any means. Before switching over to this ball, I had an issue of "scuffing" my putter on the grass before making contact with the ball, and would seem to do so a couple times per round, very frustrating. However, since switching over to this MAX ball, with it being bigger, I have just told myself to concentrate on hitting the upper half of the ball, and it has made a world of difference.
    If you haven't, do yourself a favor and at least try them. They are surprisingly CHEAP in price as well. I believe I paid $25 for a 12-pack here in the States.
    Rick is correct in saying that they do seem to go a bit "higher" than a normal PRO-V1, which can sometimes help, or hurt, depending on how well you strike it, but since switching I feel like my consistency has been my most important aspect.

    20 years ago I played Top Flight's Magna line of balls. I really liked them. Good distance. Plus they felt wonderfully soft. At least to me. But at that time I was also putting an extreme amount of backspin on my short irons.

    Years back, they were handing out 2 packs of Top Flite Magna. I used that ball, and I swear it felt straighter and easier to hit and putt. I am going to try these.

    Now we need big balls vs those tiny trainer clubs you did a video on a year or 2 ago.

    My only hole in one was way back in 1999. I used a Top Flite Magna ball. The first larger ball that I know of.

  • @acegamestv
    @acegamestv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I grabbed a dozen of the Yellow ones and must say they are MUCH easier to find than a standard size white ball.
    That was the thing I liked the most about them honestly. I really think people are exaggerating about the difference in size. I expected them to be way bigger after seeing these reviews.
    As an actual high handicapper, I do feel like they are interesting though.
    I took the opportunity to record an 18 hole review with them, if anyone is curios what that perspective might look like!

    I gamed this ball a couple rounds. It threw off my distance for sure as well as my putting. I switched back to the regular supersoft or the bridgestone e12 contact.

  • @viking_fisherman
    @viking_fisherman 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I normally play the Callaway Supersoft so I tried these out. Not much difference in performance but I quit playing them due to LOTS of lip-outs. It is definitely not a putter-friendly ball. Rick’s instincts are spot on in this regard.

    • @bobbraudrick8819
      @bobbraudrick8819 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I use these a lot, was given four dozen for a gift. The softness is nice but i shoot the exact same….low 90’s with TopFlight two piece ‘hard’ golf balls and the are 60% less. Personally i got no value from the larger size. No harm either. But yes, you do have to carry them all in your pocket :-)

    • @acegamestv
      @acegamestv 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have not had an issue with that sort of thing, but maybe it depends on the cart.
      They really aren't that much bigger honestly. Its remarkable because every other golf ball on the planet is the same size, but you really can barely even tell they are any bigger via the naked eye.
      I feel they are targeted at high handicappers, so as one myself I played and recorded an 18 hole review with them if you want to see a different perspective

    @wjbaker11 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The previous versions were called the Supersoft Magna and I still have a couple left in my bag. I tried them for a little while just to see if it made much of a difference and it didn't really for me.

    • @davidsongood2627
      @davidsongood2627 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope! It is legal! I’ve actually bought a dozen and the box says that it conforms to USGA rules. So at least it is legal here in the US.

  • @ichor20
    @ichor20 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Played with these just to try them out. SUPER soft feel on the greens, good flight but they don't spin worth a damn. Got frustrated that it wouldn't hold greens and dumped em. Currently gaming the Taylormade tour response and it's delivering for me.

  • @mikethewhizz5085
    @mikethewhizz5085 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well the bigger ball has a higher center of mass meaning that once it gets to the edge of the hole, the center of mass of the ball is further away from the tipping point, making it more likely to fall in
