Ben Griffin Maxfli Reaction
“I have been testing and using the Maxfli Tour Series in competition over the last several weeks and am extremely impressed by its performance,” Griffin said.
“I immediately saw an increase in distance off the tee, stability in the wind and control around the greens expected of an elite tour golf ball.
“This is a very exciting moment in my career to partner with a brand that not only stands for quality and performance but also aligns with my own journey in professional golf.
“My late grandfather, who helped introduce me to golf, loved using the Maxfli ball, and his passing played a large role in my comeback to professional golf. I can’t wait to be a part of Maxfli’s resurgence and take my game to new heights.”
Sold exclusively at DICK’S Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy, the Maxfli Tour Series balls are set for a big year ahead following their launch in late 2023.
“Ben is an extraordinary talent and a great addition to the Maxfli team,” said Aimee Watters, VP Marketing, DICK’S Sporting Goods.
“His remarkable journey back to the top tiers of professional golf, fueled by dedication and resilience, makes him the perfect ambassador for Maxfli. We are excited to support Ben’s continued success on the course.”
