It’s not often you find a golf ball under $50 a dozen that wins on the PGA Tour but that’s exactly what we saw this year with Maxfli. Long considered one of the better values in the game, Maxfli’s Tour line has proven it can compete with the very best.
Value aside, the bigger question is this: Which Maxfli ball is right for your game? We pulled all of the Maxfli-specific data and insights from our 2025 golf ball testing presented by UNRL to help you decide. Take a look and see which one fits your swing and style.
Performance by swing speed
Swing speed does influence how a ball performs, but it’s not the only factor. Launch and spin are just as important (and we know some of you have a feel preference) — which is why Maxfli designed three models that overlap in helpful ways. Here is a quick look at how the Maxfli golf balls performed in our 2025 testing at each swing speed.
High swing speed (115 mph driver / 90 mph 7-iron)
In high-speed testing, Maxfli’s Tour line split into three clear lanes: Tour X produced some of the fastest driver ball speeds, Tour S delivered the longest iron shots with lower spin, and the standard Tour stood out for higher-flying approaches that held greens.
Tour X → Among the fastest balls tested off the driver at high speed. If you can already create speed, Tour X makes sure you don’t leave distance on the table. Tour S → Ranked among the longest with irons at high speed and produced lower driver spin compared to many urethane balls. It’s a great fit if you generate too much spin and want to flight it down. Tour → Listed among the highest-flying irons, helpful if you want more stopping power into greens. It’s not the longest, but it gives you confidence holding firm greens.Mid swing speed (100 mph driver / 80 mph 7-iron)
At mid speed — where most golfers fall — the test results showed clear contrasts. Tour X pushed to the top of the distance charts, Tour S stood out as the lowest-spinning urethane, and the standard Tour offered reliable height and control. Mid swing speed golfers have three very different flight profiles to choose from.
Tour X → Led the entire driver distance table at mid speed. Also one of the low-spin top picks, pairing distance with reduced driver spin. If you want to pick up yards without ballooning, this could be a smart play. Tour S → Among the lowest-spinning urethane options with irons. For players who already hit it high, Tour S can help keep flight and spin manageable.Low Swing Speed (85 mph driver / 65 mph 7-iron)
For slower testers, performance differences were more about launch and carry. Tour S provided the most help getting the ball airborne and adding carry. Tour X still registered solid speed, while Tour remained a steady, neutral option.
Tour S → Included in the low-spin top picks for slow speed and highlighted as a high-flight distance option off the driver. Also one of the highest-flying irons in this group. If you need height and forgiveness, this is the Maxfli that works with you. Tour X → Showed up as one of the faster balls even at low speed, although most slower swingers will benefit more from the added launch of the Tour S. It’s playable but not as tailor-made for this group.
Picks by performance goal
If you’re chasing a specific outcome, whether it be distance, spin or flight, here’s the Maxfli to choose.
Max Distance → Tour X (led mid-speed driver distance). If your only goal is yards, Tour X is the ball that stood out most in testing. Low Spin (tee-to-green bias) → Tour S (low driver spin at high speed; lowest-spinning urethane with irons at mid speed). For players who miss big left or right, the lower spin profile can mean straighter, more playable shots. High Greenside Spin → Tour X (5,900 rpm in the 35-yard wedge test). High Flight / Stopping Power → Tour (high-flying irons at high speed). Tour S (high-flight option at slow-speed driver and irons). Both are excellent choices if holding greens is more important than raw distance. Best All-Around / Value → Tour and Tour X were described as “again excellent” and “better than ever” while Tour S was noted as more of a niche option. If you don’t know where to start, Tour or Tour X will cover most golfers.Quick Maxfli cheat sheet
Here’s the side-by-side look at who should play each Maxfli model.
| Goal / Player Type | Best Maxfli Pick | What the Test Showed |
|---|---|---|
| Max Driver Distance | Tour X | Led driver distance at mid speed; among the fastest at high speed. |
| Straighter Flight / Low Spin | Tour S | Low driver spin at high speed; lowest-spinning urethane with irons at mid speed. |
| Greenside Spin & Bite | Tour X | High wedge spin (≈5,900 rpm on 35-yard wedge test). |
| Stopping Power Into Greens | Tour / Tour S | Tour: high-flying irons at high speed. Tour S: high-flight option at lower speeds. |
| Balanced All-Around Choice | Tour | Dependable flight with neutral spin and solid feel. |
Final thoughts
Maxfli has long carried the reputation of being a “value ball” but the 2025 MyGolfSpy Ball Test shows it’s more than that: a legitimate contender in every swing-speed category. Whether your priority is distance, lower spin, or dependable control, there’s a clear option under $50 that fits.. Swing speed matters, but so do spin, launch, and feel — and the 2025 test data show each model has a defined place.
