We talk about Maxfli golf balls a lot. Why? They proved themselves in testing this year and have a lot to offer for a lower price than most tournament level golf balls. If you’ve been considering the Tour X but aren’t sure if it’s a good fit for your game, here are the things you need to know.
High swing speed performance
With high swing speed, Maxfli Tour X aligned with what we see from high compression “tournament style” balls.
He ranked near the top of the ball speed chart, which follows a consistent test that finds stronger builds tend to produce higher ball speeds.
Driver rotation with Maxfli Tour X lower trend than many urethane options.
What this means:
Fast swingers looking for speed and lower driver spin characteristics may find this one Maxfli Tour X suits their needs. However, if you prioritize higher iron spin or increased approach control, you may want to consider other options.
Movement speed performance in between
This is the place where Maxfli Tour X stood out more clearly.
With average swing speed, he led the field in total driver distance. It paired high ball speed with lower driver spin, setting it apart from other long balls that relied on higher spin to get distance.
Medium speed iron testing showed that higher spin balls such as For V1 AND Pro V1xproduced more stopping power. of Maxfli Tour X it did not rank among the highest spinning iron balls.
What this means:
Average speed players who want to optimize driver distance while keeping driver spin lower are a strong fit for Maxfli Tour X. If you choose a ball primarily for iron spin and shot control, you may want to look elsewhere.
Low swing speed performance
of Maxfli Tour X remained among the fastest balls tested even at low speeds.
Driver rotation for Maxfli Tour X stayed at the lower end of the range. Lower roll can affect peak height and descent angle, which may or may not match your off-car needs.
Iron testing showed that slower drivers often benefit from higher flight and spin. Some balls in the test delivered those traits more consistently than that Maxfli Tour X.
What this means:
Golfers with low swing speeds who already produce enough height can see benefits from Maxfli Tour X. However, if you have difficulty generating a high launch or sufficient descent angle, consider higher flight options.
Short game performance
The largest performance differences in the 2025 test occurred in the 35-meter wedge test.
The Maxfli Tour X produced more than 5,900 rpm of spin, well within the range of some tour-level urethane models. While not class leading, it demonstrated measurable greenside spin consistent with the urethane construction.
Think about The X tournament as more of a urethane ball with speed and distance with usable short game spin.
Final thoughts
Our 2025 golf ball test positions Maxfli Tour X like a distance focused urethane ball with high compression.
Based on test data, it provides:
- strong ball speed along swing speeds
- lower driver roll tendencies
- outstanding distance of the driver at the average speed of movement
- Competitive greenside spin on the 35-yard wedge test
