Maxfli has following on the MyGolfSpy Discussion board and their golf balls are utilized by many members. Greater than 1,300 Discussion board members registered to have an opportunity to check these golf balls! Every of the 5 testers chosen acquired two dozen Maxfli golf balls of their selection.

We had two testers for the Maxlfi Tour, one for the Maxfli Tour S and two for the Maxfli Tour X. Providing nice worth and historically doing nicely in our Ball Lab testing, expectations for these golf balls had been excessive.

*One other necessary be aware as this golf ball is aimed toward Tour use and Tour ranges, it was requested that we discover lower-handicap golfers to check these golf balls.

What the testers stated – Maxfli Tour

The Maxfli Tour is the center of the highway within the lineup. It’s firmer than the Tour S however softer than the four-piece Tour X.

Tester David Leighton Reid (8 handicap) and Tester CSiders12 (3.8 handicap) had been chosen to check and assessment the Maxlfi Tour. That they had good first impressions however the alignment assist wasn’t precisely to CSiders12 choice.

“ The ball contemporary out of the field appears to be like like a pleasant, premium golf ball. The duvet feels comfortable and the dimples look very nice. My solely want for these balls could be a greater alignment assist on the golf ball. “

When it was time to hit the course, David Leighton Reid put the Maxfli Tour by way of its paces and located it similar to each his gamer Titleist Professional V1 and Callaway Chrome Comfortable.

“ Off the tee, the Tour ball carried out admirably with driver, fairway woods, hybrid, or irons.  Working the ball left and proper is feasible, and I can hit the dreaded duck-hook the identical method as different premium balls.  The middle of gravity line for higher efficiency was not confirmed by me.  I discovered little or no distinction in efficiency of balls struck aligned towards the goal or not aligned.

The mid-spin traits of the Tour ball maintain greens fairly properly on method pictures and don’t balloon up inflicting an absence of distance.  It’s straightforward to hit correct knock-down pictures with this ball.

I carried out a number of chipping, pitching, and placing checks, evaluating the Tour ball to the Professional V1 and Chrome Comfortable.  In each take a look at, the Maxfli Tour carried out in addition to the opposite premium golf balls.  I all the time mark my gamer golf balls with a black alignment line and did the identical for the Maxfli Tour.  Distance management was the identical because the Professional V1 and Chrome Comfortable.

In an on-line assessment by Chris Wallace for Golf Month-to-month, Chris famous an absence of distance for the Tour ball with driver and irons.  I didn’t discover a lack of distance whereas taking part in the Tour ball.  This might be defined by the Tour ball being match for my swing velocity and sport.“

CSiders12 made some legitimate factors about the associated fee profit versus efficiency of the Maxfli Tour.

“Worth and total efficiency are two key takeaways from this ball. The truth that this ball holds up in opposition to the largest manufacturers for significantly cheaper is spectacular. The general efficiency was good and the worth is strictly the place it ought to be. Personally, the takeaways are the alignment assist, the shiny end, and the sturdiness out of bunkers. These three components induced me to take three factors away. Nevertheless, I might say that I’m prepared to fulfill this ball within the center due to the worth level. I could get higher sturdiness out of a Professional V1, nonetheless, if the Professional V1 is simply lasting me a few further holes however they price $20 extra, I’m unsure if the Professional V1 is the best choice. “

With testing wrapped up, they graded the Maxfli Tour 88 and 97 out of 100 respectively.

Tester thechrisgibbs (4.6 handicap) went deep into the numbers and information for his assessment, testing the Maxfli Tour S in opposition to a number of different premium “softer” golf balls.

Thechrisgibbs was actually impressed with the sturdiness of the Maxfli Tour S: “The ball is as sturdy as a Professional V1. For the primary time in my {golfing} profession, it must be stated that I don’t lose golf balls a lot anymore. I nonetheless have 20 of the 24 golf balls that Maxfli despatched me. I used the identical one on my SIM to push it by way of a sturdiness take a look at. It must be stated the ball was about the identical degree of marked-up because the Professional V1, EVEN WHEN I PUT IT UP AGAINST THE MOREGOLF MOD 1 WEDGE! For the worth, I did NOT anticipate this a lot sturdiness.”

He additionally had related statements relating to the Maxfli Tour S efficiency on method play. “ I couldn’t inform you if there was any distinction between the balls. I performed a couple of of the very best rounds I’ve ever performed with the Maxfli Tour S, however it’s additionally simply been a breakout 12 months for me. The consistency was precisely what I needed from a premium ball although. “

As a higher-caliber participant and somebody who is aware of what efficiency he needs out of his golf ball, he stated this when requested if he would make the Maxfli Tour S his new gamer or return to his earlier selection.

“Since Maxfli despatched me 24 brand-new balls, I’ll be taking part in Maxfli Tour S for the remainder of the 12 months, God prepared.

In case you are at a professional store on trip, don’t have any balls with you, and wish to purchase one thing? I’m shopping for the Maxfli Tour S all day. I’m most likely already renting golf equipment and spending an excessive amount of, so I’m going with the ball I do know performs on the worth I wish to pay.”

Nevertheless, his last rating was a modest 74 out of 100 as he acknowledged that this ball wasn’t fairly suited to his swing velocity and that others might even see extra advantages.

With the 2 softest golf balls within the Maxfli Tour lineup out of the way in which, it’s time to see how the firmest of the collection labored out for our testers, Micah T (2 handicap) and Cjeffs12 (4.1 handicap).

As somebody who has used the earlier Maxfli Tour X, Micah T shared some preliminary ideas on Maxfli and the adjustments made to the 2023 model.

“I’ve all the time appreciated the frank nature of Maxfli’s claims: nothing too loopy there. Fascinating to see Maxfli name out the CG balancing; positively a premium characteristic there. The one large change I see straightaway is the alignment assist:

I’m unsure how I really feel about it but: on the one hand, I cherished utilizing the alignment strains on the ‘21 mannequin, on the opposite, the alignment assist kinda made it seem like a spread/apply ball.”

Cjeffs12  added some ideas on the packaging and the CG alignment assist: “As for the specs on the field, they do job of detailing the variations of every ball of their lineup. I may simply choose up any of their packing containers and determine which ball is greatest for my sport. One factor I feel they might do higher for advertising or educating is the “CG Alignment Support.” I would love them to point out the buyer how you can get the very best out of this know-how.”

Each testers received a number of wonderful comparisons versus different golf balls in the identical class with numerous information factors from completely different yardages and golf equipment.

Micah T famous that the Maxfli Tour X is a really low-spinning golf ball and never simply off the tee.

“The low-spin traits of the ball off the motive force are actually spectacular. The low spin traits of wedges? Perhaps much less so…”

Cjeffs12 added: “My numbers had been actually good with the XV, Tour X, and Professional V1x. The Srixon and the Maxfli simply had one other gear that the opposite balls didn’t have, my dangerous strikes had been the place the remainder of the balls’ good pictures had been, and my good ones had been carrying 10 yards extra.”

They gave the Maxfli Tour X 96 and 83 factors out of 100. Cjeffs12 knocked off probably the most factors because of the cowl being overly comfortable, inflicting him to relegate a number of balls to his apply bag due to scuff marks.

The Backside Line

The main underlying theme of the 2023 Maxfli Tour collection? Worth and efficiency similar to so-called premium balls.

Regardless that not each tester will probably be conserving these as their new players, all of them appreciated a golf ball that carried out near high-end golf balls at a fraction of the worth.

This was summed up completely by Micah T:

“This ball is a improbable worth! For 1/2 the worth of a Professional V1x you get a ball 98.5% nearly as good. Sound/really feel, appears to be like and workability are all high notch for me.”
