I think I bought up all the stock of Callaway Magna's from Amazon.....and have subsequently deposited them in various lakes and wooded areas around the UK's golf courses.
I'm 73, a high handicapper and not nearly as strong as I used to be... I tried a sleeve of these this past summer, bought a box of them, and have used them ever since... I love the ball and play the yellow version and would recommend anyone to try them.
They are a Supersoft product which I love for that soft feel and compression for slower swing speed. Great feel on putts. They also tend to sit higher up on the fairway, giving an easier to hit impression. I enjoy these.
I have used them most of last season and I liked them a lot. They have a nice feel, and they went straighter when you get a slight off center hit. I usually play OnCore Elixir and I like this just as much. Great review.
I think when I am playing for fun I would use them from Tee to green. And then I would switch to a regular ball for my putting. I know you can't do that in a tournament but when I'm just playing for fun that's what I would do.
I am 62 with a bad left hip that hinders my rotation. I bought a box of these and really liked them. I had more distance and they were straighter for me. Great video.
Played my first round with the Max today and I loved it. For my swing it was incredible, maybe a little different putting but with the driver and irons it felt great!
Because volume increases as the cube of radius the larger ball will have greater cross sectional density so should be less affected by the wind. The actual effect on performance will be inverted from what you might expect.
Back in the 90's when I first picked up a club and played, I used a ball called the "Top Flite Magna" because it was over sized and claimed to reduce hooks and slices. I've recently seen some old boxes of them on Ebay.
Picked up a box of these and it improved my putting no end .Agree they don't fly as far as the Titlest balls,but I'm sticking with them I'm a high handicapper.
I started using these balls a couple of weeks ago and they certainly work for me. Mind you, I play off 20 and I’m 70 yrs. old. They give me good launch, give me confidence when setting up and I feel that I can control the shot better. I like them a lot. Great video James 👍🏌️♂️
@James You said you couldn't use it because of its size, and cause the umentionables. But they could then be used as a training aid. In as much, that if you are able to strike them in time more consistently, then using the normal sized ball, you hit that with more accuracy. Meaning that your game could potentially become better.
I liked these balls, distance & control were good, but I couldn't get them to stay on the green. Moved to Bridgestone e12 and Taylormade Tour Response as alternatives. Both checkup and hold better than the Max.
I’ve actually been using these (yellow version) for the past 3 months, I’m actually interested to see how it feels now I’m used to them to go back to a normal one. Like you I putt with the flag out always
I love the Supersoft, but I've never tried the Max past putting and chipping with one. Mostly because I know that larger golf balls in general are shorter, but also because it just looks too weird at address. I don't know. I have an old Maxfli/Dunlop DDH HT 100 balata ball that's 1.62" and to me, THAT looks confidence-inspiring - because the club looks so big compared to the ball! And you need that confidence because the ball goes absolutely nowhere. But that's probably because the windings and core have degraded/snapped/turned to mush. It's essentially a NERF ball at this point. Amazing around the green, though!
Yes I think you would have to get use to the bigger ball, I have played 2 rounds I found the drives were the same distance but my irons went longer, putting you have to take the pin out because I have hit the pin and it just sits. Still happy
I remember the Top Flite Magna also. The marketing concept was suspect (a larger ball is more susceptible to wind resistance and thus will not go as long and it is easier to go offline) and it was a no brainer that a larger ball meant less putts made. I think this one won't last long.......
I’ve tried these a few months back. As I high handicapper (21) I wanted something easier to launch. It did nothing for me. Actually I was a little put off by the size. I’m just used to playing a standard sized ball. I won’t be using these or any other “max” ball.
you made history, created a new excuse for a shank , blame the ball...... every golfer should have a sleeve of these in the bag, so when the unthinkable happens....well i was testing this new ball and.... keep the great content coming
This may sound silly but I am afraid of using these because I fear that if get used to them, I will have trouble playing with regular size balls later. Did it fell strange playing with regular balls after you were done with these?
I found one of these today. Brought it home, cleaned it and then I tried to put my mark on it using one of those half cup ball alignment marking jigs. Didn't fit! Side by side.. yep looks bigger. I'll have to save it for my customary first tee-off slice. 🤣🤣
Hey guys I was using a vice pro someone gifted me but I wasn’t able to get the best of them due to my slow swing speed So I bought callaway super soft last week and won my match pretty convincingly And drives were longer Which helped me into the green So I decided to try the bigger max ball on the way home So this is a great video and it has convinced me to try them Thx
@@Jack-xy4fy I didn’t like them to much because they acted weird coming off the club I tried the Wilson zip and had really good results It’s a firmer cover but I can still compress iit I shot the lowest round of the year with that ball I even tried the bigger max golf ball It’s also a no go for me
I just bought a dozen of these last week they were only $21.99 USD and I am looking forward to trying them I suffer with contact issues and am just trying to get anything that can help me do better
I got some of these for Xmas and have been playing with them this last week. Putted and chipped poorer than usual and seeing no advantage as a 16 HCP. Wouldn't choose them again
Lol…maybe with your maturity 👨🦳 you now have the slower swing speeds this ball is designed for💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. love the vids and content…still prefer the pix (like you) for alignment and identification whilst playing…inspires confidence on the green
So the joke is on me! I bought these thinking they were "max" distance, not max size. Well, first tee shot on a par 3 using them I sent it 10+ yards longer than I was hitting the same club on the range right before the round. Didn't realize they were larger until watching this video and directly comparing them to a Calaway Warbird. I like them!
I could ayvthis bigger ball makes the hole smaller,surely it cannot fly as far there are other soft balls which I would play before considering this one
I honestly would not use them. I feel like golf is about maximizing on opportunities. I could see the oversized ball bouncing off the stick more times then a smaller ball. Preventing some hole outs from greater distances.
I’m honestly not sure how much difference there is here. They are only 0.05” larger than the minimum legal ball size. Seems more like a gimmick than something that will make a legit difference.
I actually use the all the time. They definitely fly straighter but the durability is horrible they get marked up easy. On the bright side they're about $25 US price.
Sorry guys but this is "dingo's kidneys" but usually marketing wins the day over science. There might be more lift caused by the Magnus Effect where air "bunches" up or compresses underneath. However the only way to reduce any hook or slice curve on the ball is to reduce sidespin which is down to the player with any ball. The Magnus Effect also works with sidespin so a larger ball with the same sidespin will curve wider.
Ive just ordered a box from amazon. Lets see what a extremely average golfer can do. Will be interesting as i usually play with the standard suppersoft anyway.
Talking balls!! Of course I couldn't really see the ball very well on that close up shot what with that shiny ring and all! Still find it hard to believe how much you married up. 😆
I would like to see data from a robot driver, at different club speeds, to see how much distance lost. And how much more, if any, wind drift. Variations from a human golfer have to muddy the data.
Just visited around 20 sites to find the size difference. Only one I could find was coolclubs that suggested the ball was just 0.05 inches larger in diameter.
For the equivalent swing speed and strike they’re not going to go as far as the standard ball. You may gain stability from the added volume. But if slow speed/short hitting is your problem, these are emphatically not the answer.

Hello James, could you please tell Chris to pull his pants up!!🤣🤣
James I do use them and like them very much. Love the line on the ball and the feel. I do have a slow swing speed.
Thank you for a different opening hole. Love your channel by the way and Chris' as well.
I am 62 with a bad left hip that hinders my rotation. I bought a box of these and really liked them. I had more distance and they were straighter for me. Great video.
I love these balls. As a high handicap player I like to play these on a par 3 course. Love the content James, keep up the good work.
Played my first round with the Max today and I loved it.
For my swing it was incredible, maybe a little different putting but with the driver and irons it felt great!
I have found a few of these on the course, I think they feel to soft and didn't spin well around the green's. Nice review guys.
I've been playing these for a while now and love them, especially with winter here in NZ at the moment. Go great in warmer conditions.
i brought a box of these a couple of months ago. Still got 4 left . love the feel of them. Now using the BOMB !!!
I play these, and the standard supersoft’s. Love them both actually. Great feel for my game :)
Because volume increases as the cube of radius the larger ball will have greater cross sectional density so should be less affected by the wind. The actual effect on performance will be inverted from what you might expect.
I actually use these balls and have since last summer. I love them. I like the way they launch.
Use it and love mixing it in the game here and there. Forgiveness and no loss of distance.
Back in the 90's when I first picked up a club and played, I used a ball called the "Top Flite Magna" because it was over sized and claimed to reduce hooks and slices. I've recently seen some old boxes of them on Ebay.
I remember those. I played them for awhile, didn’t notice anything different from the regular golf balls.
I had completely forgotten that ball. Wow, thanks for the trip down memory lane! Do you remember the one they had with the egg shape dimples?
I have these in yellow. They are a pretty good ball from what I have used of them so far.
Picked up a box of these and it improved my putting no end .Agree they don't fly as far as the Titlest balls,but I'm sticking with them I'm a high handicapper.
I have used them and really liked them,seemed to fly as good as any other ball I have used

I live in Australia James. A little hard to collect the package you offer, providing the initial reply wasn’t a scam. Cheers mate.

Love the content James. Keep it up mate
Appreciate you buddy thanks
Been using them since their release....love them
So many good ballS out there....I am slowly overcoming my snobbery and trying something different.
Its been a revelation and I am saving lots of $$.
Just started using cut golf red balls this season, and they are hard to beat for the price
I love the Supersoft, but I've never tried the Max past putting and chipping with one. Mostly because I know that larger golf balls in general are shorter, but also because it just looks too weird at address. I don't know.

I tried the previous Magna ball and did not like it. I will try these the concept is very interesting.
I do use them, I don't have aslow swing speed but I havebad eyes and find they help me seeing it in the distance
I play really help me with fairway woods off the ground and have good distance
Another awesome golf ball v.guy’s
Yes I think you would have to get use to the bigger ball, I have played 2 rounds I found the drives were the same distance but my irons went longer, putting you have to take the pin out because I have hit the pin and it just sits. Still happy
I really like the max. Good ball. Wish they kept them in stock where I live. I usually play the Callaway SuperSoft.
Good luck getting those in a ball washer. Great video!!
Been using these for a while now and they are top tier 👌. I think it's the first time since playing I've never lost an actual ball in a round 😅

I believe you said it during the video but these could be useful for a beginner or senior golfer.
I used these early in the year to get back in the feel, but they are considerably shorter now than my current ball.
This may sound silly but I am afraid of using these because I fear that if get used to them, I will have trouble playing with regular size balls later. Did it fell strange playing with regular balls after you were done with these?
I actually bought a box of 24 Callaway Magma balls last year but never put them in my bag. Might get them out for a couple of rounds.
I would use these if I found some!
for some reason I seem to hit further using the Wilson DUO than any other ball I have tried
I found one of these today. Brought it home, cleaned it and then I tried to put my mark on it using one of those half cup ball alignment marking jigs. Didn't fit! Side by side.. yep looks bigger. I'll have to save it for my customary first tee-off slice. 🤣🤣
Hey guys
I was using a vice pro someone gifted me but I wasn’t able to get the best of them due to my slow swing speed
So I bought callaway super soft last week and won my match pretty convincingly
And drives were longer
Which helped me into the green
So I decided to try the bigger max ball on the way home
So this is a great video and it has convinced me to try them
Thx
How did the Supersoft Max work out for you?
@@Jack-xy4fy I didn’t like them to much because they acted weird coming off the club
I tried the Wilson zip and had really good results
It’s a firmer cover but I can still compress iit
I shot the lowest round of the year with that ball
I even tried the bigger max golf ball
It’s also a no go for me
Not sure about the Max, but the Supersoft the best ball ever!! Feel so buttery
🔥🔥🔥
Would love to see you talkin balls video on the maxfly Tour X compared to the Kirkland ball from Costco
Would be interesting to see Foxy use those balls with the Wilson forgiving clubs. Bigger balls + bigger clubs.
I only have 12! 😂😂😂
@@JamesRobinsonGolf lol all that forgiveness he'll be ok, and has been playing much better.
I just bought a dozen of these last week they were only $21.99 USD and I am looking forward to trying them I suffer with contact issues and am just trying to get anything that can help me do better
Is the Maxfli Noodle not a larger size ball that is form the slower swinging newbie?
I’m surprised you wear a mechanical watch playing golf James
I wouldn’t expect the impact to be the best for the tiny parts inside the movement
I love these balls from tee to green, but I don’t like putting with them.
In your opinion, are these balls better than the Kirkland balls?
Lynx did a 1.80 inch ball, was abandoned as hole was effectively smaller.
Love callaway golf balls are they in stock in America
I got a 3-pack from someone and tried them for a round. I just couldnt get over how large they look and how uncomfortable that made me...
I found one couple of weeks back. Thought it was a gimmick.. ill give it a go next time for a giggle
They say size isn't everything and u 2 just proved it
I got some of these for Xmas and have been playing with them this last week. Putted and chipped poorer than usual and seeing no advantage as a 16 HCP. Wouldn't choose them again
Lol…maybe with your maturity 👨🦳 you now have the slower swing speeds this ball is designed for💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. love the vids and content…still prefer the pix (like you) for alignment and identification whilst playing…inspires confidence on the green
I might play them for friendly round with lads. ProV 1 for tourneys
So it's basically a latter day Top Flite Magna?

In the 1970,s the bigger ball was all you could buy in Australia. I think the smaller ball became available in 1974?
I use these balls and love them, but then again, I’m a 28 handicap.
I could ayvthis bigger ball makes the hole smaller,surely it cannot fly as far there are other soft balls which I would play before considering this one
Play a lot of rounds alone so I can find these bigger balls easier. 😊
Got the reva for my kid who’s just been forced to play
I honestly would not use them. I feel like golf is about maximizing on opportunities. I could see the oversized ball bouncing off the stick more times then a smaller ball. Preventing some hole outs from greater distances.

Is this a scam 🤔 reply.
??
never bought Topflite Magna and never found one either.
I've used the magna in the past and found no difference at all to a standard ball. Bit easier to get a good contact off a tight lie.
Interesting video. Thanks for the review. Don’t think it’s the ball for me..
The oversized Top Flite Magna goes back to the very late 1990s.
If I found one I would try it but I would not buy them.
r they legal?
Don’t walk on your intended line when putting using that method of alignment………..
Talking balls!! Of course I couldn't really see the ball very well on that close up shot what with that shiny ring and all! Still find it hard to believe how much you married up. 😆
I would like to see data from a robot driver, at different club speeds, to see how much distance lost. And how much more, if any, wind drift.
Variations from a human golfer have to muddy the data.
Get a player with a slower swing speed to try them.
Not enough spin
So how much bigger is this MAX ball? Rule is "no less than 1.68 inches. A measurement would have been a good addition to "this is huge".
Just visited around 20 sites to find the size difference. Only one I could find was coolclubs that suggested the ball was just 0.05 inches larger in diameter.
What are they like out the bunkers…also how’s the durability? Same as a normal super soft???? Looks like you’re hitting a marshmallow 😂😂😂
Get in that bunker...How dare you???
😂
The Max?….can you say, “lots of lip-outs!”.
For the equivalent swing speed and strike they’re not going to go as far as the standard ball. You may gain stability from the added volume. But if slow speed/short hitting is your problem, these are emphatically not the answer.
NOT a good WIND BALL..!
28 ball reviews in 6 months 🤠😴😴😴😴😴
It’s a series you melt 🤓
But aren't smaller balls easier to get speed and therefore distance? So lady balls
