Re: Upgraded Max Balls

  I saw there was a thread recently about adding colors (or just white) as an option for the MAX meter balls and I considered posting this in that thread but I personally couldn't care less about the color.  My intent is to suggest higher level/tier MAX balls with better stats.  There is high level MAX equipment in just about every category for clubs (Driver, 3W, Irons, wedge) all for level 90 something + players.  Why not the same for the balls?  As it stands now we only have 2 MAX options available.  One for Hack+ and one for Pro+.  The pro balls are not awful they got me to legend tier but they pretty consistently slide right off the greens due to poor spin rating.  Here is what we have and what I suggest for the future...

  Hack+ 450 Creds

  Spin - 0.0

  Distance - 2.0

  Durability - 2.0

  Meter - 5.0

   

  Pro+ 600 Creds

  Spin - 2.5

  Distance - 4.0

  Durability - 2.0

  Meter - 5.0

   

  Master+ 650 Creds

  Spin - 3.0

  Distance - 4.5

  Durability - 2.5

  Meter - 5.0

   

  Legend+ 700 Creds

  Spin - 4.0

  Distance - 5.0

  Durability - 2.5

  Meter - 4.5

   

  These stats are pretty "on-par" with comparable balls for similar level players.  E.G.  Nike Platinum has 0.5 more ticks than the Legend+ ball and the Master+ suggestion has the same as the level 81 Nikes but with more emphasis on meter speed and less on spin.  Do note that on my 2 new suggestions I bumped the durability up to 2.5, that wasn't a mistake!  I'm also not a fan of the prices but I am a realist and believe I made a fair estimation of what they "should" cost if they were to ever exist.

  In closing I'm not sure if this has ever been suggested before.  I'm sure it has and I just couldn't find it but I doubt it ever has to this extent and precision.  I tried hard and thought a long time about this, so I hope it comes to fruition eventually.  Everybody wins if it does.  Thanks for reading.

  I'm with ya 95%. Why change the meter speed on the Legend+. Leave it at 5, they are after all, the MAX balls. Advertized as the slowest meter available. I need that slow meter speed. Plus, I would love to see them available in white.

  A+ I have recently been experimenting with the Max balls i really like the meter & distance but a dot or two more of spin would make them great .

  Yep, the Max balls are dandy...fun to play with, truly good balls. However, I find that they cannot match the excellence of the Nike Plat. The prices are close together; the Plat lasts longer and performs better than any ball we have.  ;-}

                                                                                                                I agree SP :) im close to month in with the R11s, the Max ball has the perfect meter speed for me but i really like the specs of the level 90 Nikes, if the Nikes had .5 more on the meter speed it would be the Nikes hands down, but for now i guess its Max..   or both lol ;-)~~~
