After re-entering the premium ball market in 2024, Maxfli has three options for golfers who want distance off the tee and spin around the greens.

Gear: Maxfli Tour, Tour X, Tour S golf balls

Price: $40 per dozen

Specs: Three-piece, urethane-covered balls in white and yellow (Tour, Tour S). Four-piece, urethane-covered balls in white and yellow (Tour X).

Who it’s for: Golfers who want speed off the tee and extra greenside spin and control on approach shots.

What you should know: Each of the three Maxfli Tour balls features a cast urethane cover for short-game spin, but with different compressions, they offer varying levels of firmness, spin, and speed off the tee.

The deep dive: For golfers who have been around for a while, the name Maxfli harkens back to a time before carbon fiber drivers, hollow-body irons, and zero-torque putters. Last season was big for the golf ball maker that has been owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods since 2008. Maxfli signed LPGA star Lexi Thompson and PGA Tour up-and-comer Ben Griffin, and they used Maxfli golf balls in competition.

Now, for 2025, Maxfli has updated its three premium balls and has options that could be considered by a wide range of players who want distance off the tee and lots of spin on approach shots, chips, and pitch shots.

The Maxfli Tour, Tour X, and Tour S golf balls all feature a cast urethane cover that is thin, soft, and easily grabbed by the grooves of wedges and short irons. That’s what helps each of the three balls create more spin around the green. Each ball is available in white and yellow, but there are significant variances between the balls that make them perform differently.

Maxfli Tour: This ball has a three-piece construction that includes a large rubber core, a firm mantle layer, and a cast urethane cover. With a compression around 95, it has a firm feel and should produce low spin for most golfers off the tee and with fairway woods, hybrids, and long irons.

Maxfli Tour S: Like the standard Maxfli Tour, the Tour S has a three-piece construction that includes a large rubber core, a firm mantle layer, and a cast urethane cover, but its compression is around 85, so it should feel and sound much softer than the Tour ball. The Tour S will spin less off the tee and from the fairway, so it should fly lower and create less sidespin than the standard Maxfli Tour, which means the severity of hooks and slices should be decreased.

Maxfli Tour X: The Tour X is a four-piece ball that has a rubber core and two mantle layers under its cast urethane cover. The Tour X has a compression around 100, so it will feel firmer than the standard Tour ball and much firmer than the Tour S. At the same time, the Tour X will be the highest-flying and highest-spinning Maxfli Tour offering, making it an option for players who want to hit controlled draws and fades around the course and flight shots more easily.
