Evaluation of Maxfli's 2025 Tour Golf Ball
Maxfli Tour Golf Ball Challenges Titleist Pro V1 with Tour-Level Performance
The 2025 Maxfli Tour golf ball has proven to be a formidable competitor in the market, offering performance very close to elite balls like the Titleist Pro V1, but at a significantly lower price point.
In a series of tests, the Maxfli Tour was compared to its sibling, the Tour X, and the 2025 Titleist Pro V1. With every club tested (driver, 7-iron, sand wedge), the performance data between the Maxfli Tour and the 2025 Titleist Pro V1 was similar.
The Maxfli Tour, a 3-piece urethane construction ball, delivers tour-level performance, including soft feel, high greenside spin, and consistent ball speed throughout the bag. It provides a slightly firmer, "clickier" feel compared to the Titleist Pro V1, which is softer. The Maxfli Tour X version, a 4-piece model, is firmer and offers higher spin and ball speed, suitable for players wanting a higher launch and more distance.
The surprising finding was the parity in performance between the Maxfli Tour and the 2025 Titleist Pro V1, considering they come from different price spectra. The Maxfli Tour's durability was also tested, demonstrating its resilience after at least 30 shots with various clubs.
The Maxfli Tour is available for $39.99 a dozen, making it a cost-effective option compared to other premium tour-level balls. Its ability to perform like a premium, tour-level ball at a lower price point makes it an intriguing product in the market.
However, the Maxfli Tour's feel, while softer and more muted than the Tour X, is still different from the buttery-smooth feel of the 2025 Titleist Pro V1. This difference in feel may raise questions for potential purchasers: how important is feel to them?
Maxfli has already seen two PGA Tour wins in 2025 using the Tour X, validating its high-level performance capabilities. The Maxfli Tour golf ball, despite its lower price point, performs like a premium, tour-level ball, and is a part of the revamped tour golf ball lineup from Maxfli.
Testing was conducted using the Foresight Sports GC3 launch monitor. For skilled golfers who want elite tour-level performance including ball speed, spin control, and consistency, the 2025 Maxfli Tour is a very competitive alternative to the Titleist Pro V1, especially given its substantially lower price.
Sports enthusiasts searching for a premium, tour-level performance golf ball at an affordable price may find their match in the Maxfli Tour. In comparison to the pricier Titleist Pro V1, the Maxfli Tour golf balls deliver similar performance characteristics, such as soft feel, high greenside spin, and consistent ball speed.
