Description Maxfli''s research and development department set out to create a ball that combined the seemingly incompatible qualities of long distance and soft feel at impact; it was called Project Noodle. They succeeded in their quest, and the Noodle was born. The secret of the Noodle is a high-energy, low-compression core material, soft-yet-durable Surlyn cover, and a high-launch 408-dimple pattern. Want maximum distance without a hard feel? Try the Noodle, the ball with the intriguing name and outstanding performance.
Summary: Hi, I'm an avid golfer who is slightly better than the average. I consistantly score in the low to mid 80's. I have played the Maxfli Longest Noodle many times. I feel that this is a GREAT golf ball, all around. Great from tee to green and a solid, consistant ball flight. The longest noodle plays just as well as my usual B330 rx. More recently, I have been debating weather or not to use the longest noodle as my ball of choice being the great difference in price. less expensive dosen't always mean less quality. Both jump right off the clubface, and both perform very well on the greens. I swing pretty hard too. My club head speed is between about 93 and 104 mph. more consistantly in the high 90's. I do not seem to over compress this ball as I have with so many other soft distance balls. The Nike PD soft, just to name one. I would recomend this ball to anyone who is looking to play a great, well constructed golf ball without feeling like they have to sacrifice something. Cash is certainly NOT one thing you'll sacrifice...
Similar Products Used: Similall products I have used are as follows; the Precept Laddie X, the Nike PD soft and pd long. The bridgeston b 330rx, the taylormade penta tp ball, the srixon z-star. All but the taylormade and the nike perform very similar but if i had to chose juat one based on all aspects considered(price being the main) I would have to give it to the Longest Noodle.

Summary: I am an 8 handicap and I have been using noodles ever since high school whenever I play non-competitive golf. These balls are awesome because they are probably the only decent to good golf ball I've found at an amazing price($9 a dozen at Wal-Mart). They give plenty of distance off the tee (My drives average 280 yds off the tee with them using a 12 year old driver), provide a soft feel for putting/chipping, and give a decent amount of spin. If I were to play in a serious golf tournament I would use a Pro-V1. I can make almost every shot with a noodle that I can make with a Pro-V1 except for rare circumstances. The only major difference with the Pro-V1s/other premium balls is that those balls stop on a dime for mid-high trajectory shots whereas the noodle releases a little bit more. If you have no green to work with on a pitch or chip, a premium quality ball will also help a little. However, this happens only 1-2 shots a round where I feel not using a premium ball hurts my chances of getting up and down. Is a little extra help on 1-2 shots in non-competitive rounds worth 3 dollars more a ball to you? Not to me. 15-20 handicappers, I highly recommend playing a noodle because it will provide you a decent ball for an amazing price. Save $31 a box and use the money towards lessons and custom fit clubs(these 2 things,unlike a premium golf ball, will help your game tremendously.)
Similar Products Used: Any $20-30 a dozen priced golf ball.

Summary: I rated this ball here because it doesn't
have it's own section. I'm sure you've seen these kickin' around. Taylormade is
now the manufacturer of the Noodle. Maxfli....no more. The S2D is a firmer
version of the original Noodle. If you're
looking for a deal on a ball, this is it.
Most golf shops have been selling these
for 9 to 12 bux a box. They are super long like the original but don't have the
greenside spin. It's pretty much a distance ball. If you're the type that likes to hammer it off the tee box...
you'll like these.
Customer Service: none.

Summary: I've been playing the Taylormade TP Black for a year or so, but it's been recently discontinued. I really like the TP ball, but I used this opportunity to see waht else was out there. I tried the Penta, which is a good, but over priced ball. The NXT tour is just too hard around the green. I was surprised that a $12/box ball would actually play as well as it does. I'm playing the noodle until I find a ball that is worth three bucks more a piece. Especially, when my wedges eat all of them alive.

Model Reviewed: Noodle Long & Soft golf balls
Summary: I read an article in a popular golf magazine that golfers whose swing speed is less than 100 mph should never use tour golf balls. Since my swing speed is between 85 - 90 mph I bought a box of the Long & Soft Noodle balls. To my surprise I increased my drive distance by 10 - 15 yards average. I am 74 years old and am in very good health and had resigned myself to the fact I would never be able to hit 200 yard drives again. I will never use any other brand of balls again. Thankyou Taylormade for a great product.
Next time your Noodles run out, buy a dozen Srixon AD 333's. I used to play Noodles but the AD 333's are softer off woods and irons (good for us seniors with arthritis)and feel and roll better than Noodles off the putter. Plus they were 10 yards longer than the Noodles and a good bit more into the winds. About $3.00 more per dozen but worth it.
