Since Dick’s Sporting Goods acquired Top Flite in 2012, they have worked to create new, quality golf equipment, including several lines of golf balls. But are Top Flight BOMBs still in production?
Top Flite BOMB golf balls are not discontinued or at risk of being discontinued. The 2-piece golf balls have long distance, low spin, and are very affordable. Comparable golf balls include the TaylorMade Noodle Long & Soft and Calway Walbird, and Maxfli Straightfli
This article will look at the specs of the Top Flite BOMB and the other golf balls that are the most similar.
Top Flite BOMB Overview
- 2-Piece Ball – Top Flite claims that the BOMB’s 2-piece construction contributes to its long distance. While this may be true, the quality and price of golf balls have long been associated with the number of layers. The more layers the ball has the higher quality and the more expensive.
- Low Spin – The low spin on the BOMB ball is caused by its hard outer shell and 2-piece design. Low spin allows the ball to go further, but it also gives you a straighter flight.
- Launch – The high launch of the BOMB compared with its low spin is what allows it to travel fast and far. Of course, your club also has a lot of impact on the launch angle based on its loft and center of gravity.
- Compression – The high compression on the BOMB will give you more resistance when you hit. Compression is a matter of preference and does not affect distance or spin, though players with fast swings tend to favor high-compression balls.
- Colorful – The BOMB Color Blast balls come in an assortment of blue, orange, pink, and green.
- Personalizable – Personalization is available on the white BOMB balls. You can customize three lines of text in the font color of your choice.
- Price – The Top Flite BOMBs are only sold in 24-packs, and are very reasonably priced. 2-piece golf balls are the cheapest option, and the BOMBs fall on the lower end of that category.
Other Long-Distance Golf Balls
In order to get the increased distance, most long-distance golf balls are 2-piece. This means that they are on the lower end of the golf ball price range.
Here are a few balls that are comparable to the Top Flite BOMB in layers, spin, launch, and price:
- Calway Warbird
- Maxfli Straightfli
- TaylorMade Noodle Long & Soft (Noodles are currently unavailable on the TaylorMade website. It is unclear whether this is a temporary stock issue or a sign of impending discontinuation.)
