Ben Griffin: The People’s Champ of Professional Golf
Ben Griffin has been making waves in the golf community, earning the nickname "the people’s champ." With an impressive résumé that includes three tournament wins last year, an appearance at the Ryder Cup, a top-10 world ranking, and the use of a budget-friendly $40 Maxfli golf ball, Griffin is proving that an elite performance doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
Griffin Makes a Switch: New Maxfli Ball in Play
This week, Griffin is set to unveil a new golf ball in his arsenal: the Maxfli Tour X LS. While details are still scarce, it is known that this ball represents a subtle evolution from its predecessor rather than a complete overhaul.
Key Features of the Maxfli Tour X LS:
- Launch Profile: Slightly lower launch
- Spin: Reduced spin
- Feel: Marginally softer compared to the standard Tour X
These specifications are particularly beneficial for a player like Griffin, who already generates considerable speed and height in his shots. Given the firm and windy conditions often seen at TPC Scottsdale, this might be the perfect time for Griffin to make the switch.
