Bought a box of "x-outs" few seasons ago, and didn't try them until
last year. Very soft feel, and using one I broke 90 for the first time
(and a long time comin' it was).

I still prefer the feel of the Maxfli XS. The Top Flite Strata also
has a great feel to it but I like the trajectory and distance I get
from the Maxflies.

I just purchased a dozen Top Flight Z Balata balls (90 Compression) from
my local Wal-Mart for $19.95

They seem to have a nice soft feel/ great spin and decent distance. I
never thought I would enjoy playing a Top Flight, but I do like these.
And they are cheaper than the ball I would normally buy...

My usual ball of choice?
Titleist Tour Distance $30
Precept MC Spin $25

Just wondered if anyone else has tried these?

If you like the Z-Balatas...try the new Top-Flite XL2000 Exceptional Spin.
Good distance; soft feel; for less than the Z-Balatas. Most shops have 'em
at $16.99

Need logo balls...E-mail ba...@golftucson.com

I played Z-Balatas until 6 months ago, when I switched to Maxfli
Revolutions. I like the Z-Balatas and for the money it is one of the
best balls on the market.

Dan,

If you want to try some less expensive Maxfli Revo...try the blems
they are selling for $19.95 a dozen. Only difference is these blems
have a "circle P" stamped on them, to denote "practice" I guess. Other
then that..they preform exactly like the non-blemished Maxfli Revo's,
but much less expensive. When I located them online, I ordered 4
dozen.

I personally have tried the Z-Balatas and although they are solid
balls, my favorite is the Titleist Professional. The Titleist
Professional and DT90's work well for me and the Wilson Ultra 500's
are probably one of the best balls out there for $18.00.

Definitely choose the 500's over any Top flite...I don't like hitting
rocks. The new 2000's are better, but are still light years away from
the Ultra's.

I grabbed three dozen from Golfsmith. Funny thing about them, that
although they have a thin wound layer between the cover and core, I
actally think the Maxfli XS feels softer off my woods (I tee with a
3-wood) and irons.
