Summary: I've used the Fire and the Tour Fire. Tour Fire is a better ball but for the money the Fire is the best deal around. As good as the PD soft and longer. No problem holding greens. Almost stops as good as a Pro V1. I use the Fire for regular rounds and the Tour Fire for tournaments.

Summary: These Maxfli Fire balls were on sale at Golfsmith for $9.95/dz. I had used the Maxfli Tour Fire in the past so I decided to give the regular Fire's a go. Bad mistake.
The ball played like a brick and was especially hard to control the distance on putts (greens were relatively soft and on the slow side and this ball seem to rocket off the putter). Had little feel on chips and pitches and short irons didn't stop very quickly either. The ball felt hard off the driver and didn't seem to offer much in the way of extra distance.
Finally switched to the Top-Flite D2 Distance in mid round. This ball felt significantly better than the Fire, but, like the Fire, didn't offer much stopping power or control for chips and pitches. The best low price ball for me is still the Nike PD Power Soft which seems to suit my driver swing very well and provides reasonable spin and control for greenside shots.

Summary: This isnt my normal ball. I usually play the Maxfli Noodle, Titleist NXT or the Nike Juice. I have mixed feelings about this ball. It definitely is a good ball for putting and long, straight shots. It is a little tricky to use with wedges and chips, but the right shot will hold some greens. It is also a very affordable three piece ball. What I don't like about this ball is how easily it is to scruff up the cover. Even on crisp mid iron and hybrid club shots, the ball cover got scuffed. It easily gets grass and dirt stains smeared on the cover (in it's defense, the course I used these on did not have many ball washers at the tee boxes). You probably wont get more than 3 or 4 holes out of a ball. There are also better balls from Maxfli and other ball companies that are good distance and short game balls. But, it is affordable and does go a long way on shots. I wouldnt use this in a competition or a match, but worth a try if you can get a sleeve.

Summary: I have used all the best balls out there. After using the Fire, I must say I was very impressed with the distance. Almost 10 yards farther on average. And putting feeling was very good too. Worth a sleeve to see if you experience the same.

Summary: Great 3 piece ball for the money. Durable cover. Never an issue with cutting the cover. Balls goes a long way. Last summer I used one ball for an entire round and could have used it more. Not a mark on it. Nice feel on short shots too. Doesn't help me putt.
