Maxfli BlackMAX Golf Balls

Maxfli, a brand of the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company, has introduced a premium, tour-caliber golf ball called BlackMAX that's engineered to compete with the Titleist Pro V1, Titleist Pro V1x and Callaway HX Tour.

The BlackMAX is a multilayer ball, with a large Neodymium rubber core, a firm, thin ionomer mantle and an ultra-thin cast thermoset urethane cover. Neodymium rubber is an uncommon core material because it is the most difficult polybutadeine rubber to process, yet Maxfli chose this material because it offers a superior combination of high Coefficient of Restitution (COR) and low compression. That equals high velocity off the clubface, yet soft feel at impact.

BlackMAX's thin ionomer mantle serves a dual function. Off the driver it works with the core to help minimize backspin. Low spin-rate, when combined with a high launch angle, creates launch conditions that promote maximum distance. Off the irons, especially short irons, BlackMAX's soft urethane cover is compressed between the mantle and the clubface, giving the clubface traction as it strikes the ball with downward force. That creates sufficient backspin to make the ball "grab" the green and quickly come to a stop.

Maxfli Spin Control
The secret to BlackMAX's spin control lies in the composition and thickness of the mantle, the composition and thickness of the urethane cover, and the way in which the mantle and cover are engineered to work together. Developing the proper mantle-cover relationship took hundreds of hours of research, player testing and computer modeling. The resulting spin control allows players to generate enough spin to stop the ball quickly, but not so much that it makes spin-back behavior hard to predict.

Thermoset Urethane vs. Thermoplastic Urethane
BlackMAX's ultra-thin cover is thermoset urethane (as opposed to the thermo plastic urethane used by other manufacturers). Thermoset urethane is prepared by mixing several ingredients which react chemically, generating heat and forming a new material that's stronger than the sum of its parts. While still in liquid form, thermoset urethane is poured into a mold to form a cover. Thermoset urethane covers are more durable and resistant to the shearing often inflicted on a golf ball's cover by square-grooved wedges.

Superior 372 Dual-Radius Dimple Design
BlackMAX also incorporates a new 372 Dual-Radius dimple design. The depth of the Dual-Radius dimples and the angles of their edges are specifically engineered to combine with the low spin-rate of the BlackMAX off the driver to promote a ball flight that results in longer carry and longer roll.
