Choosing the right golf ball is all about measurable changes in speed, spin and trajectory. Maxfli has built a reputation for delivering true tour-level performance without the tour-level price tag. Within the Maxfli family, Tour and Tour X behave very differently and MyGolfSpy 2025 Ball Test makes those distinctions clearer than ever.
Here’s some more detailed information on where the two balls separate, where they overlap, and which one is more likely to suit your game.
Maxfli Tour X
Maxfli positions The X tournament as the “highest performing” model in the lineup, and the test data backs it up. It was one of the fastest balls tested at high swing speeds and topped the mid-speed driver distance category. For players who value ball speed, The X tournament delivers exactly what it promises.
The short game performance was strong.
In the 35-meter wedge test, The X tournament spun north of 5,900 rpm, putting it alongside some premium tournament balls for green control.
With medium swing speeds, he paired high greenside spin with a lower spin driver profile. The combination should lead to longer, straighter drives without sacrificing stopping power around the green.
Play Maxfli Tour X if you:
- Want the fastest and longest Maxfli option, especially at medium movement speed
- Prefer a firmer ball feel with strong feedback
- You need lower driver spin to tighten the spread or add distance
- You want tournament-caliber wedge spin for more control around the greens
- You already create enough height and don’t need help lifting the ball
Tour in Maxfli
Maxfli describes TOURNAMENTS as the most “balanced” urethane option. It didn’t chase top driver speed or extremely low spin, but it did provide one feature that many golfers really need: green height.
In the high speed iron part of the test, Tour in Maxfli it was one of the highest flying balls in the entire field. If you struggle to get golf shots to hold onto the greens, this type of trajectory is a significant advantage.
Play Tour in Maxfli if you:
- You want a higher flight iron for better tip height and stopping power
- Prefer a neutral and consistent performance profile rather than extremes
- You don’t need the fastest Maxfli option from the top
- You want a urethane ball that fits a wide range of swing types
- Enjoy predictable, point-and-shoot performance on the iron and approach
Final thoughts
Ball Test 2025 made this comparison simple.
- Maxfli Tour X it’s the stronger, faster, higher-spinning option for players who want every bit of speed and short game control they can get.
- Tour in Maxfli is the balanced performer: higher iron flight, reliable wedge spin and consistent across the bag for a wider range of players.
