As always .. another fantastic review ! I’ve been telling friends with slower swing speeds about these balls and they love them. It’s gratifying to get the ball in the air when it only goes 150 yards !
Absolutely. Some people really struggle with getting the ball in the air, slow to mid-swing speeds benefit immensely from getting a little extra height on their golf balls. The distance and spin increases, while fast and extremely fast swingers it decreases. That's why a lot of people think height is a bad thing. It's definitely not for the right golfer
I only play this ball. Yellow. I'm 73 with hip arthritis and a much slower swing speed than years ago. It goes fairly straight off my irons and I putt with the flag out. Thanks for the review.
Studies have found that this won't go further with the driver but may with irons because of less spin from an article in Golf Monthly. Funny thing back in the 90's I got a hole in one with the over sized Top Flite Magna.
I found the distance seemed actually shorter with a driver, but possibly a little bit longer with mid irons. And a late congrats! The Magna and the Dunlop DDH were my favourite balls back in the day.
I will look for that study. I'm interested to see exactly how they conducted the study. Or they using a slow or mid-swing speed? What driver were they were using, etc.
I really appreciate the transparent reality you bring to the golf ball reviews. I love the big channels like James Robinson and all. But they don't dive into the details of the balls they review. They just hit it 500 yards and say "That was delightful." After watching your videos I went back into my bag and started actually looking at the balls I have found and now I know what may be good for me and what might be bad vs assuming that because it's Titleist it'll be good for me. That said, I desperately want to hear your opinion on the kirkland ball. Especially after seeing them take a significant portion of the golf ball revenue when compared to strictly golf manufacturers who took less of the pie.
I appreciate your kind words and your viewership. I have had many people request the Kirkland ball, and I have wonderful news for you. It's the next review. Look out for it tomorrow. 😀😀
Based on some of the comments I've gotten, the question you need to ask yourself before using them is do you tend to have a high launch, mid-launch, or low launch? I think people who already have a high launch wouldn't benefit from this ball since it gets up in the air a lot quicker.
Great ball if you like lip-outs!!! Played these for a few weeks years ago, liked everything about them except on the green. Way more lip-outs, very noticeable on slow putts!!!! I can afford 3-5 lip-outs per round that I wouldn’t have with a regularly sized ball.
I typically drive 225-250 yards. I hit my furthest drive ever at 275 yards with this, and that was into rough and a slight hill, so it probably had a few extra yards in it if i had put it 10 yards to the left.
It really is crazy how much distance difference there was between the Max and the regular super soft. Crazy with a little extra girth on the ball will do 😂
I love watching you, and know that you know far more than me. But the max ball was useless for me and I don’t have a fast swing. The distance I lost would worry golfers like me. Keep up with your reviews , I love them. By the way I use pinnacle soft and rush balls yes laugh but value for money no Ball comes close to them. And I have used pro v 1s by the way.
I appreciate your insight. I'm beginning to wonder if certain golfers who already have a high launch would not benefit from this ball. I usually have a very low launch, which is why this ball launching higher helped me. I'm wondering if a lot of slower swing speeds already get the ball in the air enough and don't need the added lift. That would make a lot of sense.
When it comes to ball testing for myself I only take into account how far they go and behave on a proper golf course, which on different courses themselves will make a difference depending on the grass, ground, etc. I have tried out countless balls and know what ball is best for me. ( Pinnacle Soft,and Pinnacle Rush ) Laugh if you like but the proof of the cake is in the eating. I’ve gone past the stage of if it isn’t no good if it’s cheap, or manufactured by a famous company. Mind you probably know who make Pinnacle golf balls, the best in the business. Look it up if you don’t know.
I remember a ball coming out a couple decades ago that was 1.72 inches versus the standard 1.68 inches. They were straighter but didn't go farther or have better feel than the leading balls of the day.
Yeah sometimes companies have great ideas, but terrible execution. From what I've read, the old golf balls that tried bigger, ended up like you said. No increase distance, no increase height, in a terrible feel. Callaway has done a great job with this one, and I think has complete control of the market (oversized)
@@CamMacMastermusicCallaway made this ball previously a few years back and called it the Magna. I have played both and find the new Supersoft Max to be an improvement over the Magna.
I am in my 60’s so I do have a slow swing, I have only played one round in the Rain, I found my Drives were the same but my irons went a bit longer, putting I had a bad day but I thought because the Course was soaked . So time will tell. 🇳🇿
Great review appreciate it. I’m in a dilemma due to my 105-110 driver swing speed but I’m a 90s golfer that needs help with keeping soon down. Sounds like this is probably not for me, what do you think? Guess can’t hurt to try it out.
@@GolfBallAddict thanks appreciate it. That’s a constant dilemma I have because things always seem to be about swing speed and as many know swing speed does not correlate to handicap.
🟣 I noticed the same dead flat feel with the new model Supersoft 🟣 I prefer the ✳️ older Supersofts which are hotter of the face and go a little higher ✅ I may consider the Max as I am going older with a slower swing speed 🟣 I will consider a slow switch to these in the new few years 🟢
I just bought a box of these, I'll just had both hips replaced, havent played golf for the last 5 years because of my hips, went out last week to hit a bucket of balls, my swing has reduced by about 25% at least, Im 70 so lets see what these balls can do.
First of all James, I am really glad you are healed enough now to be able to go out and play golf again. Even if it isn't it full capacity. I hope you are able to be fully healthy and play golf for the rest of your days. Everyone deserves to play the great game. Also, you could not have picked a better ball to have starting back up. This golf ball is great for slow swingers, and mid swingers as well. It gets the ball up in the air super easy and travels a mile and straight. I hope you enjoy them.
Very interesting ball. I may not play it, but it’s hopeful that Callaway does make a good golf ball lol. I’m still looking for a urethane option but this is still such a cool niche of a ball that not everyone probably plate or would even notice someone else playing it. I may have missed it but is this a legal ball?
Lol yeah it's weird at first. It also doesn't fit in the golf cart where your golf balls go. It is a great performing golf ball though, however I still wouldn't putt with it.
What I liked about them was because of the larger diameter, the ball hits closer to the center of the club face which improves contact. Unfortunately, because it’s larger, the wind tins to push the ball further off line than other balls.
Question for ya … I know you mentioned before that you’re in Florida. I’m going to be in Davenport for the lest week of February, if you’re familiar with that area do you have a suggestion / recommendation for a couple of decent golf courses in the area by chance? If not, thanks just the same, and I’ll still continue to subscribe, like, comment, and share every video you do ! 😂
I'm not familiar with the area unfortunately. Although I will admit that the Golf and Florida is 95% incredible. Since it can be maintained year-round. Make sure to check out the reviews and as long as it's above three stars I think you'll have a blast
@@GolfBallAddict No Worries GBA. I was secretly, hoping you were close by as I will be playing with a few buddies who are golf company reps ( no names mentioned, starts with a T ) but thanks just the same. Appreciate the tip.
Depends on what you're looking for in a golf ball. You'll most likely lose a little bit of driver distance with that type of swing speed. I don't think you'll lose anything on the back end though. I think your irons and wedges will still be fine. If you're looking for a really really soft feel, with a ball that gets up in the air easy and goes straight, it could still be a good match for you. But if you're playing championship courses and you need a little extra distance you might want to look a little firmer
@Golf Ball Addict thank you for the feedback. This is my second season playing golf , so if it can help with mishits and forgiveness , I'll give them a shot.
That's definitely way above average. Honestly most 14-year-olds are probably hitting somewhere around 220 drives. Where you live also matters as well. But that's still really far ahead of the game. Keep working and grinding and you should be able to head over 300 in just a few years.
I wonder if any of the launch monitors could in any way take into account the increased drag a larger ball would certainly have versus a standard size ball. I think without the ability to account for the larger size, the launch monitor is basing the distance on a standard sized ball. The launch angle and initial ball speed and initial spin numbers would seem to probably be not significantly affected by the larger size, but the flight and carry of the ball would be affected by it’s slightly larger size. Nick, play them on your usual home course and tell us what you think of the distance you experience out on the course, please.
Two totally different golf balls my friend. One is for average to fast swingers who want a tour ball that can stop on a dime in Ben from left to right. The super soft Max is for beginner to intermediate players who need a ton of forgiveness and need to get the ball higher in the air.

Glad that I looked back on some of the reviews.
Thank you for doing so! :-)
it is since 2021 that I use this ball.Easy to hit, very high fly, easier to spot due to its size, good distance and price.I recommend it
Couldn't agree more.
I only play this ball. Yellow. I'm 73 with hip arthritis and a much slower swing speed than years ago. It goes fairly straight off my irons and I putt with the flag out. Thanks for the review.
Anytime friend.
Good review. I found 2, lost one, but really enjoyed playing the other one and finished my round with it. Would definitely consider a box of them.
Thank you very much. As long as they keep this golf ball the way it is, I think it's their best inexpensive option.

I have only played one round in the Rain my drives where the same distance But my iron shots where Longer. So we will see
Played with it for the first time today and it’s the ball for me!
That's awesome! Hit them straight! :-)
Been waiting on this one!
I was pleasantly surprised

Yes. That's why in the review I mentioned multiple times I would putt a different ball
I typically drive 225-250 yards. I hit my furthest drive ever at 275 yards with this, and that was into rough and a slight hill, so it probably had a few extra yards in it if i had put it 10 yards to the left.

i have played supersoft most since I started golf and have good luck mostly. I'll need to try these and see if they do better for me. Thanks.
If you love the supersoft and need a little more height, than I think it will work out great.
I remember a ball coming out a couple decades ago that was 1.72 inches versus the standard 1.68 inches. They were straighter but didn't go farther or have better feel than the leading balls of the day.
Magna ?

I think with a swing speed like that, the super fast might work a little better for you. I think you might over compress this one a little
@@GolfBallAddict thanks appreciate it. That’s a constant dilemma I have because things always seem to be about swing speed and as many know swing speed does not correlate to handicap.

Completely legal. I think they're releasing a revised edition for 2023 so we'll see how it goes
Bought a box didn’t know it was bigger.... thought it was max softness.... found out when I noticed it will not fit in golf course ball washers....lol
Lol yeah it's weird at first. It also doesn't fit in the golf cart where your golf balls go. It is a great performing golf ball though, however I still wouldn't putt with it.
Sounds like a winner. Will you be putting it in the bag?
Vice Pro Soft is all I need!
Yea the vice pro is a great ball. I play it to, right after the Srixon Divide.
Probably not. It's really good, however I'm still a sucker for the cut red.
What I liked about them was because of the larger diameter, the ball hits closer to the center of the club face which improves contact.
Unfortunately, because it’s larger, the wind tins to push the ball further off line than other balls.
Very true. We have some windy days in Florida that could legit push this ball into other fairways

My driver head speed is on average 95-100 MPH. Should I be looking at a different type of ball?

lol @2:20
Lol OVERSIZED.
Does fit in ball washer…
Probably not a traditional ball washer no. I haven't used one of those in so long and I wouldn't even have a way to test it.
