It never fails. I think of buying a new wedge, the next day you guys post a video reviewing wedges. I think of switching to a more affordable golf ball and you guys post a video about it 12 hours later. Keep up the mind reading, it helps me out a lot
I've watched soooo many golf videos of shots on a simulator waiting for somebody to finally hole one. 3:26 was sooo satisfying haha. Great stuff guys!!
WOW!!! I played Maxfli balls in my youth and never considered anything else these days then Pro V1s, Chromesofts, TP5s etc. Eye opening. Thanks for bringing back old memories.
walter You do you. Sometimes the have a BOGO from what people have shared. Another good option. You spend your money as you see fit. Performance was there or at least comparable. Lots of good options out there ball wise.
I normally game the Z-Stars. I have liked the Maxfli Tours as much, if not better than them. I shot my first ever even par 9 with Maxfli... So there is that
After watching this video...ordered 6doz Maxfli Tour X from Golf Galaxy. 2 dozen priced st $45US, personalized for free and with $30 reward points ends up at $1.57 per ball...THANK YOU for this and for all your great videos! Loved the "Didn't have to eat your fiancee" comment on the bomber video, classic! All of which is why you are the best youtube channel for golfers, full stop.
Been using the maxfli since it came out absolutely love it... I play everything titleist except the ball because of this ball and the savings of it... awesome test fellas ... time to grab some more stock in maxfli tours... thanks
When I started playing golf in the mid-90s, I used to love Maxfli. I always played Maxfli golf balls, sorting through the bucket of lake balls to find the good looking ones. I have a Maxfli 7 wood as a 14 year old that was great fun, and my very first golf bag was a Maxfli one. I remember growing up watching Ian Woosnam play Maxfli clubs and it was just great. Nice to see them back, but I doubt they'll make it to the UK.
So happy I found you guys online. TXG and Phil Kenyon’s putting videos have changed everything for me this season. To a point where it has become overwhelming as I have realised how much I never really knew. But it is sooo awesome!
Great comparison - thanks! I went to Dicks to purchase the Maxfli Tour model for my 10 year old grand son who is becoming an accomplished golfer. I bought 2 dozen for $50. At the course, we gave them a try. After the round, we were extremely impressed with the sound, feel, and performance.
I used to play the Maxfli Tour in matte green as my go to ball as 2 dozen for $50 in the states is difficult to beat. It's the ball I suggest for all of my friends who are budget conscious and don't want to pay shipping on Vice Pro Soft or who want more than gloss white from Kirkland's. Another great comparison video!
Love what Dick's has done with Maxfli and Tommy Armour brands. This was my second season with this ball. Love the matte finish, and feel. Great value product that is often 2 dozen for $50 .
I picked up some Maxfli Tour X balls for a golf trip recently and was really impressed by the performance. I noticed no discernable difference in the performance of these and the Chrome Softs that I've gamed for a while. Distance, feel, spin, launch were all good. I played more than 18 holes with 1 ball and noticed no issues with durability either. One small thing that I did like was the the alignment aid on the side of the ball. Clearly they have borrowed from Callaway's Triple Track design but it really seemed like an improvement on the 1 line on the side of the ball that I've been used to for a long time.
They also make these in matte green which I love. One of the MyGolfSpy guys said we should not being using matte balls because of the way they behave in wet conditions. I'd be interested to see you all test matte balls vs normal white balls. Love the content!
Good job guys.. I just started using the Maxfli ball and lovin it.. With my engineering background, a ball review is never complete without a look inside. Take a PVC pipe cutter and cut the ball in half and take a close-up of how the ball is put together. When I tee a ball up, I'm not going to remember all the rhetoric.. It all sounds about the same really. What I am going to remember is what the ball looks like inside, because that is what makes the ball unique and what stands out in memory. A look inside tells the whole story really. There are a few ball reviewers that do this, and I so appreciate it..
This is great!!! Been waiting for this. I’ve played the TourX exclusively for the last 2 seasons. Definitely comparable in my experience. Today on the Dick’s website the are 2 dozen for $45 with free shipping. You can’t beat that. The standard Tour comes in Yellow also. And if you haven’t heard avoid the matte finish for a multitude of competitive shot performance related items. Specifically moisture. That is any matte ball manufacturer in general.
I’ve used both Maxflis now. Like the x now I’m the softer conditions of spring. I’ll probably switch for firmer faster conditions of the summer. Thanks for the great testing. I’m sold!
I picked the game back up after almost 7 years away due to illness and injuries. After reading reports from MGS and others i went with the Maxfli Tour X. After my first 2 rounds out in years I love the ball. It's been really long off the driver and consistent yardages off the irons and wedges.
Wow... I know you have at least an xstiff shaft but at 6:46 if you pause you can see that thing is still bent in half on the down swing.... crazy speed
Just came across your channel, and I found it to be informative and entertaining...No hype or prejudice concerning one ball (Titleist), over the other (Maxfli), ball...GOOD JOB!!! There are several other amazing ball brands out there that don't get the respect they deserve! Bridgestone, Srixon, Top Flight (Gamer is a HIDDEN GEM), and Volvik just to name a few! It's ALWAYS: Titleist, Taylor Made and Calloway that get most of the publication!!! SHAME on the Golfing World SNOBS!!! I'm in the camp of matching the ball (Compression, Ball Speed, Spin etc...), up to the players (New and Amateur), abilities (i.e. age, swing speed, needs etc...), REGARDLESS of the brand, so that he or she can achieve the best score they can, and enjoy a game that those of us that play it do as well!!! P.S. New Subscriber...Thanks for your HONESTY!!!
I am the average golfer. I love this ball (Maxfli Tour X) and have committed to it for 2020. Back in May I purchased 5 dozen at $17.34 a dozen on a flash sale. Had my normal $10 off a $50 purchase coupon. $76.70 before tax. This summer I can hit 4 dozen in the woods or the water (and I will 💖) and still have 12 balls left. The four dozen I just sadly departed with is equivalent to what I would have paid for a dozen pro v1 🎉🎊😊 Set aside the money, It’s just a nice overall ball. I love the consistency with the putter as well.... that is important
I use to love the Maxfli Rovolution. I can recall Freddie Couples playing it for a few years. It was so spiny back in the day and long. Would love sleeve. Glad to see they are still around.
i play the tour x and i have gained at least 5 yrds on the irons and about 30 on the driver, i was playing the kirkland before and it used to spin up to 4500.... i love this ball.
Curious, part of the Maxfli branding is their CG balanced line placement. Was Matty lining up the ball with the line facing the screen each time? I still wonder if they actually test each ball for the location of CG...
I've been told from someone with some knowledge on this that they test each ball for CG. I'm actually a Maxfli retailer and sell these in my shop. I use these balls all the time and haven't had one act any different from another. They really are great balls.
I played the Maxfli tour for the first time a week or so ago. Used 1 ball the complete round and it held up with minimal scuffs on the surface. And it feel very good!!!
I bought a bunch of these from Dick's (I think they are now $45 for 2 dozen). Maxfli Tour provides very good ball speed for slower swingers (as the Mygolfspy test stated). I had some issue with durability/scuffing on very thin strikes and/or full sand wedges-- but I definitely play them if the course is known as a "ball eater" course.
I usually play Calloway soft trip track. Due to imperfections recently in finish on balls, at 4$ a ball, tried Titleist AVX & Maxfli Tour X. AVX IS A GREAT BALL And durable, however for me, the Maxfli played better had no imperfections and rolled very true on the green , so for ME, IM PLAYING MAXFLI THIS SEASON. And save some $$$$$$. Great review.
Started using the Maxfli Tour in 2019 following the MyGolfSpy test. Was using Project A at the time. I really liked them but didn't commit to them last year. I'm committed this year. Love the new yellow ball. You can ALWAYS get them "get 2 for $50". When DSG has their flash sales, you can get them BOGO for $35 ($17.50/dzn). Love the price!
Back when I was a sophomore in high school the Maxfli Revolution was the balls we got for matches. We all thought they were pretty good until my junior year we switched to ProV1s. That ball was bananas when it came out.
Yea Dick's always has them 2 for $45-$50. I have been playing the Maxfli Tour X, Pro V1x and Bridgestone XS and I have not seen really too much difference in between them. Maxfli has a cool matte white finish too.
Great review. I’m glad Matt mentioned outdoor performance, the only downside of indoor testing. I wonder how much the aero design has on the ball performance.,...
Great video guys! I started playing Tour Response this year loved the way it played and even after watching ur video I knew it was a great pick for the money! I picked up a sleeve of the Soft Response matte Red and I think it flew straighter and longer today then the Tour, I would like to see you guys do the two of them and for $25 you can’t beat that for that Taylormade name!
Love this review. Great test. Its actually what I wanted to see/hear. Curious how this will be for me as golfer who is a slower speed...about 100 mph SS.
I'd be curious to see a test of two or more generations of the same ball. For instance, since ProV1x is now more spinny than V1, did they do that by changing V1 or V1x, or both? If you've been fitted to a particular ball, do you need to start over the next time the product cycle turns over?
Big fan of Maxfli balls. Started way back with the Revolution, but as recent as the U6, the U-Fli and now the Tour. Shot my best round this year with the Maxfli Tour, an 81. I'm a 14,3 index and have my most issues with the flat stick. One wayward drive, trying to chew too much off of a dogleg, and two 3-putts. Love the CG line on the ball. Ball rolls so nice off of the putter. Great ball, especially when you catch the two for $50 deal.
I actually have a few of the Tour Xs, and I like them. Did Matt say anything in terms of the feel differences between the balls? (maybe I missed it in the video)
Hey guys. Am loving the videos. New golfer here. Just got for locally for a driver /3W and 5W. Was a good experience. Now needing to get irons/hybrids and wedges. So... have a great video idea. You guys should do a fitting/bag set up on a newish golfer:). I know a guy who’d volunteer:).
Just Wow! I get ridiculously giddy seeing someone holeout...never done it myself, almost-sort of-kind of-maybe close, but, nope! Another really good test gentlemen, Thx for always sharing with us!!
They are on sale 2 dozen for $50 all the time. I use Bridgestone when playing money games or a amateur tournament but use the Maxfli tour for practice and or regular playing.
I have been playing the matte golf balls this year and like the performance but don't like how hard they are to clean. It is much harder to get the dirt off the ball after each hole. In addition, MGS said in one of the podcasts that matte golf balls don't perform as well in wet conditions. I have not played the ball in the wet enough to make a determination myself. Next time I would buy the non-matte version of the balls. Likes others have said there have been some good sales in the US on the ball. I was able to get a dozen for as low as $20. Nice hole out Matt!
If you were playing the Tour Response because it was $35/doz but then stopped because it went up to $40/doz, just get the Maxfli Tour. It's slightly firmer and goes longer but very similar with a much better cover. You can also buy 4 doz at a time for $120.
That’s a solid ball and Maxfli has a CG line where they have found the Center of Gravity of the ball (much like the Check Go product does) and has premarked the line for you.
I play the Maxfli Tour Matte Green ball. Best ball ever. By far visually easy to pick up in the air and the feel is very close to Pro V1. Price point is very friendly.
I'm normally play chromesoft, but someone gave me a box of Maxfli Softfli. I felt like i hit them 5-10 yrs farther off the tee, but they have a little less feel around the green. For $20 US a box I would recommend them for a budget golfer.
The Maxfli tour has been my go to ball since it's launch. One thing Ian & Matt may not have mentioned is that the Maxfli tour balls have "Center of Gravity Balanced Technology" which is supposed to cut down on side spin. I get a few weird looks when someone asks what ball I'm playing, but the Maxfli tour ball is straight up legit.
Yes my patener almost lost his teeth when checking out which ball was what saw mine was a Revolution- pulled out as a " water ball " initially- and I was holding the opposition down hole after hole,putting like a demon. I found it's there that those old MF and,Spalding balls outperform the Titliest every time! Looking for the Revolution replacement next time I buy balls
Great Video! Amazing ball & price. What ball should I consider. I’m 67, play Pro V1 now (3.5 index) I’ve lost half a club distance on irons (7i 145) low flight, my driver carry 210-215 mid flight. My driver swing speed is 86-89 mph. Help!
Nice video and super consistent swinging Matt! - however once you start hitting little soft touch shots around the green, for me the ProV1 always seems to stop a 1m or so quicker than the others, but I suppose it depends on each person's own chipping style.
Nice video... didn’t realize Maxfli was still around. I used to play their ball 20 years ago when I got free ones working at pro shop. Thanks for the heads up on this one. I’m definitely going to try them again... update... just ordered two dozen from Dick’s and they had a two dozen for $45 US going. Also got the beginner wife 3 dozen of the Maxfli soft or whatever they are for $30 ($10 each) normally $20 a dozen.
I used to use Maxfli revolution and thought it was incredible. They then suddenly disappeared, at least in the UK., and I was gutted! I may have to try these out, as I'm running low on TaylorMade V3s...!
I've played Maxfli since the 90s when Freddy used the Maxfli Revolutions. Can't find a better ball. Have had my handicap down to 4 with these balls, they are far more than you would imagine
I have played this ball all season. Started with three dozen of the max fly tour and three dozen of the tour x. For me the max fly tour seems to fly a bit straighter and seems to be a bit more accurate for me. They are currently on sale two dozen for $45 which is quite a steal for that good of a performing golf ball. Also I was curious if Matt was aligning the golf ball as it states on the box with the center of gravity line when he was hitting driver and/or any of the other shots?
I think most premium balls are going to deliver on performance ball to ball. I think nowadays it comes to dispersion from box to box over a season where you really start seeing separation. Mygolfspy did a great job with ball data when it comes to offline hits and dispersion.
The Maxfli advertises a CG-balanced feature. Apparently you can set the ball up to be CG-neutral or to draw or fade using the markings. I’d love to see you measure the CG bias in the ball, then test to see how much bias level affects flight shape (another way to control ball flight). Also, I noticed off driver the Maxfli X flew shorter off draws than straight. That was unexpected! Don Curzon
The most underrated channel on UA-cam !!!!!
It never fails. I think of buying a new wedge, the next day you guys post a video reviewing wedges. I think of switching to a more affordable golf ball and you guys post a video about it 12 hours later. Keep up the mind reading, it helps me out a lot
I've watched soooo many golf videos of shots on a simulator waiting for somebody to finally hole one. 3:26 was sooo satisfying haha. Great stuff guys!!
lol I just saw your comment before I hit play - it spoiled it for me hahaha but that was sick
I have got to try those out. On sale at Dicks right now for but 2 dozen for $60. That’s a very good price.
the sheer knowledge of swing, club, and ball data that y'all have is so impressive. so professional
WOW!!! I played Maxfli balls in my youth and never considered anything else these days then Pro V1s, Chromesofts, TP5s etc. Eye opening. Thanks for bringing back old memories.
Maxfli Tour is the ball I play currently. Most times you can get two dozen for $50. I really liked it.
A lot of times online at Dick’s Sporting Goods, you can get free personalization.
I can buy 2 dozen Z Stars for $50 right now, yes the deal only comes around once a year, but you stock up at the time of the sale.
walter You do you. Sometimes the have a BOGO from what people have shared. Another good option. You spend your money as you see fit. Performance was there or at least comparable. Lots of good options out there ball wise.
They had the deal where you can bogo free. Stocked up and bought 4 dozen mixed of tour and x for 70.
I normally game the Z-Stars. I have liked the Maxfli Tours as much, if not better than them. I shot my first ever even par 9 with Maxfli...
So there is that
After watching this video...ordered 6doz Maxfli Tour X from Golf Galaxy. 2 dozen priced st $45US, personalized for free and with $30 reward points ends up at $1.57 per ball...THANK YOU for this and for all your great videos! Loved the "Didn't have to eat your fiancee" comment on the bomber video, classic! All of which is why you are the best youtube channel for golfers, full stop.
Been using the maxfli since it came out absolutely love it... I play everything titleist except the ball because of this ball and the savings of it... awesome test fellas ... time to grab some more stock in maxfli tours... thanks
Love the breakdown of the video in the timeline so you can jump around to the section you want! 👏
When I started playing golf in the mid-90s, I used to love Maxfli. I always played Maxfli golf balls, sorting through the bucket of lake balls to find the good looking ones. I have a Maxfli 7 wood as a 14 year old that was great fun, and my very first golf bag was a Maxfli one.
I remember growing up watching Ian Woosnam play Maxfli clubs and it was just great. Nice to see them back, but I doubt they'll make it to the UK.
So happy I found you guys online.
TXG and Phil Kenyon’s putting videos have changed everything for me this season. To a point where it has become overwhelming as I have realised how much I never really knew.
But it is sooo awesome!
Used the maxfli revolution back in the day which was a great ball of its time.
Great comparison - thanks! I went to Dicks to purchase the Maxfli Tour model for my 10 year old grand son who is becoming an accomplished golfer. I bought 2 dozen for $50. At the course, we gave them a try. After the round, we were extremely impressed with the sound, feel, and performance.
Mind. Blown. Would never have guessed the Maxfli would perform so well
I used to play the Maxfli Tour in matte green as my go to ball as 2 dozen for $50 in the states is difficult to beat. It's the ball I suggest for all of my friends who are budget conscious and don't want to pay shipping on Vice Pro Soft or who want more than gloss white from Kirkland's.
Another great comparison video!
I’ve always loved Maxfli. Been golfing 40 years. Occasionally play other balls, but go back to Maxfli on the next round.
Used to work for Dick's/GG (who carried maxfli everything)... Excited to see how this turns out 👍
Love what Dick's has done with Maxfli and Tommy Armour brands. This was my second season with this ball. Love the matte finish, and feel. Great value product that is often 2 dozen for $50 .
I picked up some Maxfli Tour X balls for a golf trip recently and was really impressed by the performance.

Reason pro v cost more there’s loads of tour players titliest need to pay. Money has to come from somewhere
Maxfli can be found at Golfworks in Canada.
They also make these in matte green which I love. One of the MyGolfSpy guys said we should not being using matte balls because of the way they behave in wet conditions. I'd be interested to see you all test matte balls vs normal white balls. Love the content!
I play Maxfli tour x & I love it. Got 4 dozens for $70 on a BOGO deal. Can’t beat it
Would you test the Snell balls (Black and X) like this?
I rate the Snell MTB-X golf balls so high!!! Incredible golf ball!
Good job guys.. I just started using the Maxfli ball and lovin it.. With my engineering background, a ball review is never complete without a look inside.

The maxfli is a great ball. Very comparable to the prov1. I played them last year and would use them again.

Remember the Maxfli DDH balls early 80's? - excellent ball
i play the tour x and i have gained at least 5 yrds on the irons and about 30 on the driver, i was playing the kirkland before and it used to spin up to 4500.... i love this ball.
I have been playing a MaxFli ball for the past few years. Great ball.
When straight to Dick’s after watching. Balls were buy 2 for $45. Can’t wait to hit the course today! Love the content boys.
Maxfli Australian blades were my first set of golf clubs back in the 80,s. Had to learn how to use them but loved them
Curious, part of the Maxfli branding is their CG balanced line placement. Was Matty lining up the ball with the line facing the screen each time? I still wonder if they actually test each ball for the location of CG...

I've been playing these balls a while now. Awesome.
Loved the maxfli a10 ball when it first came out
Matty has the best Ric Flair "WOOOO" impression.
Nice vid, guys. Looking forward to the next test.
I played the Maxfli tour for the first time a week or so ago. Used 1 ball the complete round and it held up with minimal scuffs on the surface. And it feel very good!!!
Taylormade Tour Response. Been playing the TP5 for a while and tried these. I switched. Softer feeling TP5 IMHO.
I'm sure I'd like the Maxfli too.
I bought a bunch of these from Dick's (I think they are now $45 for 2 dozen). Maxfli Tour provides very good ball speed for slower swingers (as the Mygolfspy test stated). I had some issue with durability/scuffing on very thin strikes and/or full sand wedges-- but I definitely play them if the course is known as a "ball eater" course.
I usually play Calloway soft trip track. Due to imperfections recently in finish on balls, at 4$ a ball, tried Titleist AVX & Maxfli Tour X. AVX IS A GREAT BALL And durable, however for me, the Maxfli played better had no imperfections and rolled very true on the green , so for ME, IM PLAYING MAXFLI THIS SEASON. And save some $$$$$$. Great review.
For anyone in Canada you can get the maxfli balls GolfWorks Canada carries them glad you did this review been tempted to buy some try them out!
Thanks for this review. I picked up several dozen of the MaxFli Tour before lockdown. I'll have enough balls through next season, LOL.
I played the Maxfli Tour Matte Green last year and it was one of the best ball I played. Watch DSG for a sale and you can pick up 2 Dozen for $45
Started using the Maxfli Tour in 2019 following the MyGolfSpy test. Was using Project A at the time. I really liked them but didn't commit to them last year. I'm committed this year. Love the new yellow ball. You can ALWAYS get them "get 2 for $50". When DSG has their flash sales, you can get them BOGO for $35 ($17.50/dzn). Love the price!
Back when I was a sophomore in high school the Maxfli Revolution was the balls we got for matches. We all thought they were pretty good until my junior year we switched to ProV1s. That ball was bananas when it came out.
Ive been playing Maxfli for the past 10 years and love them. Usually get even a better deal when purchasing previous year models.
Yea Dick's always has them 2 for $45-$50. I have been playing the Maxfli Tour X, Pro V1x and Bridgestone XS and I have not seen really too much difference in between them. Maxfli has a cool matte white finish too.
Played a few rounds with these last season and was immediately reminded of the Maxfli Black Max from the mid 2000s. Good balls
Great review. I’m glad Matt mentioned outdoor performance, the only downside of indoor testing. I wonder how much the aero design has on the ball performance.,...
Great video guys! I started playing Tour Response this year loved the way it played and even after watching ur video I knew it was a great pick for the money! I picked up a sleeve of the Soft Response matte Red and I think it flew straighter and longer today then the Tour, I would like to see you guys do the two of them and for $25 you can’t beat that for that Taylormade name!
Love this review. Great test. Its actually what I wanted to see/hear. Curious how this will be for me as golfer who is a slower speed...about 100 mph SS.
They are available in Canada at GolfWorks who are the official distributors in Canada
Should test the CG tech with the putter and see if there is a difference.
Brendan Smith Yep. Would be interesting.
I'd be curious to see a test of two or more generations of the same ball. For instance, since ProV1x is now more spinny than V1, did they do that by changing V1 or V1x, or both? If you've been fitted to a particular ball, do you need to start over the next time the product cycle turns over?
Been very happy with my testing of the Bridgestone BX and BXS, but 2 dozen for 45 is hard to pass up.
I live just across the boarder. I guess I found out where I am going to go to have my bag tuned up. Bogey golfer. Matt doesnt miss! Well done
was a maxfli balata and revolution user until they disappeared - could well be on my way back :-)
FYI for the Canadian folks, you can get the Maxfli balls in Canada from GolfWorks online.
$47/dozen :(

So... have a great video idea. You guys should do a fitting/bag set up on a newish golfer:). I know a guy who’d volunteer:).
Excellent video for commoners like me. Thanks.
Just Wow! I get ridiculously giddy seeing someone holeout...never done it myself, almost-sort of-kind of-maybe close, but, nope! Another really good test gentlemen, Thx for always sharing with us!!
The ball comparison videos are always on point!! I'd like to see Matt's numbers against a robot.... My money is on Matt!!
Got my only hole in one so far with a maxfli, great ball .
So far is the best, may you get lucky again soon
Would love to see these vs. the TM tour response
They are on sale 2 dozen for $50 all the time. I use Bridgestone when playing money games or a amateur tournament but use the Maxfli tour for practice and or regular playing.
I have been playing the matte golf balls this year and like the performance but don't like how hard they are to clean. It is much harder to get the dirt off the ball after each hole. In addition, MGS said in one of the podcasts that matte golf balls don't perform as well in wet conditions. I have not played the ball in the wet enough to make a determination myself. Next time I would buy the non-matte version of the balls. Likes others have said there have been some good sales in the US on the ball. I was able to get a dozen for as low as $20. Nice hole out Matt!
Very interesting. I always associate Maxfli with absolute rock hard golf balls. Perhaps I need to give these new ones a try.
I used to play Pro V1s...I can't tell the difference with the Maxfli Tours. I tried them because of this video.
If you were playing the Tour Response because it was $35/doz but then stopped because it went up to $40/doz, just get the Maxfli Tour. It's slightly firmer and goes longer but very similar with a much better cover. You can also buy 4 doz at a time for $120.
Only one thing left to know, how are they around the greens? They have these, 4 dozen for 60% at my local golf galaxy
That’s a solid ball and Maxfli has a CG line where they have found the Center of Gravity of the ball (much like the Check Go product does) and has premarked the line for you.
I play the Maxfli Tour Matte Green ball. Best ball ever. By far visually easy to pick up in the air and the feel is very close to Pro V1. Price point is very friendly.
I'm normally play chromesoft, but someone gave me a box of Maxfli Softfli. I felt like i hit them 5-10 yrs farther off the tee, but they have a little less feel around the green. For $20 US a box I would recommend them for a budget golfer.
The Maxfli tour has been my go to ball since it's launch. One thing Ian & Matt may not have mentioned is that the Maxfli tour balls have "Center of Gravity Balanced Technology" which is supposed to cut down on side spin. I get a few weird looks when someone asks what ball I'm playing, but the Maxfli tour ball is straight up legit.
Yes my patener almost lost his teeth when checking out which ball was what saw mine was a Revolution- pulled out as a " water ball " initially- and I was holding the opposition down hole after hole,putting like a demon. I found it's there that those old MF and,Spalding balls outperform the Titliest every time! Looking for the Revolution replacement next time I buy balls
When are srixon bringing out a new ball
Mayfli looks good
Would it be possible to start throwing a long iron shot in the testing mix? Would love to see how certain balls perform with a long vs. one another
Interesting video. Given me a reason to start pitching the Maxfli Tour and Tour X ball at golf galaxy now
Great Video! Amazing ball & price. What ball should I consider. I’m 67, play Pro V1 now (3.5 index) I’ve lost half a club distance on irons (7i 145) low flight, my driver carry 210-215 mid flight. My driver swing speed is 86-89 mph. Help!
Clayton Joseph Bridgestone e6 or brx
Nice video and super consistent swinging Matt! - however once you start hitting little soft touch shots around the green, for me the ProV1 always seems to stop a 1m or so quicker than the others, but I suppose it depends on each person's own chipping style.
Nice video... didn’t realize Maxfli was still around. I used to play their ball 20 years ago when I got free ones working at pro shop. Thanks for the heads up on this one. I’m definitely going to try them again... update... just ordered two dozen from Dick’s and they had a two dozen for $45 US going. Also got the beginner wife 3 dozen of the Maxfli soft or whatever they are for $30 ($10 each) normally $20 a dozen.
I used to use Maxfli revolution and thought it was incredible. They then suddenly disappeared, at least in the UK., and I was gutted! I may have to try these out, as I'm running low on TaylorMade V3s...!
Impressive performance for sure! I used to play the Maxfli XS ball in the 90s. Was a great ball at a decent price. And sweet hole out Matt! 👍
I played MaxFli Tour (matte green) last weekend. Terrific ball! Could tell no diff from the PV1. Dick’s regularly runs 2 dz for $45.
Srixon 2017 XV, $26 at Amazon. I like them as much as any other high end ball.
I've played Maxfli since the 90s when Freddy used the Maxfli Revolutions. Can't find a better ball. Have had my handicap down to 4 with these balls, they are far more than you would imagine
I have played this ball all season. Started with three dozen of the max fly tour and three dozen of the tour x. For me the max fly tour seems to fly a bit straighter and seems to be a bit more accurate for me. They are currently on sale two dozen for $45 which is quite a steal for that good of a performing golf ball. Also I was curious if Matt was aligning the golf ball as it states on the box with the center of gravity line when he was hitting driver and/or any of the other shots?
Great review guys. I had completely forgotten about maxfli. I do wonder how it feels when putting. Loved it!!
I'm a senior golfer looking for more distance. Driver swing speed about 80 mph. Which of the 3 premium Maxfli balls would be best for me. Thanks.
I think most premium balls are going to deliver on performance ball to ball. I think nowadays it comes to dispersion from box to box over a season where you really start seeing separation. Mygolfspy did a great job with ball data when it comes to offline hits and dispersion.
My budget says thank you Ian & Matt for the test !!! lol
We need a slow mo of Matt’s driver swing
@Will Moses and use the *,* and *.* keys to go frame by frame
Still a FO and DTL swing study would be nice to see...
The Maxfli advertises a CG-balanced feature. Apparently you can set the ball up to be CG-neutral or to draw or fade using the markings. I’d love to see you measure the CG bias in the ball, then test to see how much bias level affects flight shape (another way to control ball flight). Also, I noticed off driver the Maxfli X flew shorter off draws than straight. That was unexpected! Don Curzon
I found a video test online that used iron byron to hit them and if I remember right, aligning the ball got them 5 more yards on average.
Just ordered a dozen of the tour and tour x’s both in matte. Can’t wait to see how they stack up to the BXS and Pro V’s!
