In our forums, our members have been having a discussing over hybrids. WRXer ‘LowDime’ kicks off the thread saying:

“I am looking for suggestions for an anti-left 4-5 hybrid to replace 4-iron that I can carry 215-225. I have yet to find a hybrid I can hit that does not go left. 13ish handicap. I have a Sim 7-wood that either goes 220 or 250 so need something more consistent.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.

Sean124: “I like the TSR3 because you can move weight towards the toe. Also consider a shorter/heavier shaft that gets it playing closer to a long iron than a fairway wood.”
Yuck: “I have had issues with left on hybrids and tended to carry a 2 or three iron instead. That said, the Callaway Alpha 815 18 degree. (2 iron replacement), with a Tensi White has been great in avoiding the lefts. A miss with it is actually a low fade for me, which is worlds better than a hook that keeps going left. The best part, is you can probably find one dirt cheap, since they are circa 2015.”
aussieb: “The two hybrids that come to mind when looking to avoid a hook for the better player are the TSR3 and ST-Z 230 for the adjustability and internal weighting. Nothing will stop a bad swing from snap hooking, but these both tested well for me. Still put the Mizuno in the bag when I need a higher flighted ball for rock hard greens.”

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

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.

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.
