Maxfli keeps pricing the Tour X well below tour-ball money, and the test results keep refusing to look cheap. In robot and launch-monitor testing it sits among the longest on the chart and still spins hard around the green.
What's new
Maxfli builds the Tour X in four pieces and wraps a urethane cover around a high-compression core. The company describes that core as CG balanced.
The 2025 update aims at low spin off the driver and solid spin around the green. Maxfli sells it in the mid-price tier, a long way under what the premium four-piece balls ask for a dozen.
How it plays
The Tour X topped the speed chart in both the 2025 and 2026 independent ball tests and stayed within 3 yards of the longest group at every speed. Against the best four- and five-piece balls at 114 mph on a robot, it never trailed by more than 3.3 yards or 1.1 mph.
It keeps its short game, too. Greenside spin measured above 5,900 rpm, approaches spin among the higher balls tested, and it ranked fourth of 62 for compression consistency. Scores of 8.8 for workability and 9.5 for value follow from that.
Where it lacks
Forgiveness is the soft spot at 7.9. It is the one score here that trails the rest, so expect less help on off-center strikes than the speed charts imply.
Feel lands at 8.1, good but not in step with its other numbers. Slower swingers should also know that the low driver spin shows up at higher speeds; at low speed the Tour X tested in the mid-spin group.
“I keep waiting for the catch with this ball, and the only real one is forgiveness.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Sat at the top of the driver speed chart in two straight years of independent ball testing
- Greenside spin above 5,900 rpm, and it spins among the higher balls on approach shots too
- Ranked fourth of 62 for compression consistency, so one ball plays much like the next
Reasons to think twice
- Forgiveness scores 7.9, its lowest mark, so mishits get less help than the distance numbers suggest
- Feel rates 8.1, a step behind its distance and workability scores
- When the swing slows, it drops into a mid-spin group rather than the low-spin tier it reaches with the driver

- Maxfli Tour X LS 2026 - 8.8/10. Maxfli's lower-spin Tour X, built for Ben Griffin and sold well under tour-ball money.
- Wilson Staff Model 2026 - 8.8/10. Wilson's four-piece urethane tour ball matches the longest models tested for distance and spins hard around greens.
- Titleist Pro V1 2025 - 8.8/10. Titleist's most-played ball gets a faster core and adds spin with irons and wedges.
- Callaway Chrome Tour 2026 - 8.7/10. A stiffer mantle gives Callaway's 2026 tour ball more speed without hardening the feel.
- Vice Pro 2024 - 8.7/10. A three-layer urethane ball that matched or beat the Pro V1 in testing for about mid-tier money.
- TaylorMade TP5 2026 - 8.6/10. A softer five-layer TaylorMade that ranked second for greenside spin among 62 robot-tested balls.
