    I had the tempo hybrids but sent them back. The leather started cracking after 3 rounds. At first the tongue was uncomfortable but soon softened. Great looking shoes just not built to last. Back to FJ for me.

    I work in golf shoe sales and we received our shipment last week. Everyone in department agrees that theses shoes are not good. They are too heavy, too rigid and are narrow to say the least. Better of going with Adidas or Ecco.

      Too Narrow and you are suggesting going with Adidas???? I am an E width and going a half size up was just fine, as far as rigidity the soles are constructed this way for a reason (look more into the product) got my Temp Tours last week and have played 2 rounds on them….I’m very satisfied from a comfort and performance standpoint
      I’m a 1 handicap and play 3-5 times per week

      as far as price for those commenting below….name a manufacturer whose top end shoe is much less than UA

    I bought the Drive Ones last year. I was really hesitant given the price point but they are above and beyond the best shoes I’ve ever worn. They provide comfort and stability and what I find to be most important during the summer months, breathability. Not to mention, I was putting new spikes in them last week and it hit me how little wear they showed. I highly recommend them. UA makes great products.

    If they are anything like they’re every day tennis shoes, they will poorly constructed, with poor engineering that results in the most uncomfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.

    The prices for golf shoes are laughable, especially these. The markup from the sweatshop must be over 1000%. And they want to grow the game to the middle and lower classes. ROFL.

      They’re not. They’re extremely comfortable. At least mine last year’s limited batch are.

      Agreed. I’d love to try these but price is a but steep for UA first go round. Also need more colors. While I do love black golf shoes one can only have so many and I’m not a fan of white. Too dirty too quickly in my neck of the woods.

      Agreed on price. The premier shoe seems about right but a water resistant spikeless for $160?! No thanks, I’ll take my water proof guarenteed shoe

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
