Maxfli Tour Versus Tour X: Which Should You Play? (Based On Our 2025 Ball Test)

Choosing the right golf ball is about measurable differences in speed, spin and trajectory. Maxfli has built a reputation for delivering true tour-level performance without the tour-level price tag. Inside the Maxfli family, the Tour and Tour X behave very differently and the 2025 MyGolfSpy Ball Test makes those differences clearer than ever.

Here is some more detailed information on where the two balls separate, where they overlap and which one is more likely to fit your game.

Maxfli positions the Tour X as the “higher performance” model in the lineup and the test data backs that up. It was one of the fastest balls tested at high swing speed and it led the mid swing-speed driver distance category. For golfers who value ball speed, Tour X delivers exactly what it promises.

Short-game performance was strong.

In the 35-yard wedge test, Tour X spun north of 5,900 rpm, placing it alongside several premium tour balls for greenside control.

At mid swing speed, it 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 mid swing speeds
• Prefer a firmer tour-ball feel with strong feedback
• Need lower driver spin to tighten dispersion or add distance
• Want tour-caliber wedge spin for more control around the greens
• Already create enough height and don’t need help getting the ball up

Maxfli describes the Tour as the more “balanced” urethane option. It didn’t chase maximum driver speed or ultra-low spin but it delivered one trait many golfers actually need: height into the green.

In the high-speed iron portion of the test, the Maxfli Tour was one of the highest-flying balls in the entire field. If you struggle with getting golf shots to hold greens, that kind of trajectory is a meaningful advantage.

Play Maxfli Tour if you:

• Want a higher-flying iron ball for better peak height and stopping power
• Prefer a neutral, steady performance profile instead of extremes
• Don’t need the absolute fastest Maxfli option off the tee
• Want a urethane ball that fits a wide range of swing types
• Value predictable, “point-and-shoot” long-iron and approach performance

Final thoughts

The 2025 Ball Test made this comparison simple.

• Maxfli Tour X is the firmer, faster, higher-spin option of the ball for golfers who want every bit of speed and short-game control they can get.
• Maxfli Tour is the balanced performer: higher-flying with irons, credible wedge spin and consistent across the bag for a wider range of players.
