Played the Black Max a couple of weeks ago. Perfect mid-range priced ball. Not a ProV1 or Nike One Platinum, but much better than your average NXT's or Mojo's. Personally, I found them in that void price range - not the $45-50/dz for the top shelf balls, not the $25-29/dz "regular" balls. Think I paid about $32/dz. Good spin, nice flight for me. I'll be putting it in my bag more often.
