1533.0. "Dunlop == MaxFli????" by CHRLIE::HUSTON () Tue Jun 16 1992 13:34

    
    The other day I went to buy some new golf balls, I like using 
    the MaxFli DDH II and DDH III's. What I noticed were that the
    balls now appear to have the name Dunlop DDH II/III.
    
    Are they the same ball?? The box looked roughly the same, and
    on some of my current maxfli's, they say Dunlop in small letters
    on "the side" (if a sphere can have a side) of the ball while 
    saying MaxFli on "the front".
    
    The other reason I am hesitant about buying them is that next to 
    them were the next step up in maxfli's (sorry forget the name), these
    still had the brand name of Maxfli.
    
    Are dunlop DDH II/III the same as MaxFli DDH II/III??

1533.2Maxfli STGRANPA::RFAGLEYthings that make you go hmmmm...Mon Jun 22 1992 18:474
    I believe the new Maxfli ST is the top of the line, wound, surlyn ball
    these days.  The DDH is an economy ball usually found in 15 packs.  The
    DDH is a two-piece model.
    
1533.3Trademark of Dunlop/SlezingerMAIL::ANDERSONBThu Jun 25 1992 21:123
    I noticed on a Maxifli add that it is the trademark of the
    Dunlop/Slezinger Corp (sp).
    
1533.4Maxfli CD/MD/HT ballsCGOOA::DURNINWed Jul 08 1992 20:0824
    Hi,
    
    re: .2
    
    The Maxfli ST is not a very popular ball and such Maxfli has put out
    the Maxfli CD (solid center, wound with Surlyn) and the new Maxfli MD 
    (max. distance).
    
    The third in this series and the first overall from a performance
    perspective is the tour player Balata ball Maxfli HT (liquid center).
    
    All in this series utilize the same dimple pattern and the new CD and
    MD balls are levering off the success of the HT on the Pro Tour.
    
    The original MD balls I have played and they are excellent from a
    distance and control perspective.  The spin rate is a little lacking as
    per most solid balls.
    
    The CD wound surlyn balls I expect will match or outperform the Wilson
    Staff balls.  I just purchased some and will try them soon.
    
    Hope this helps,  JD
