Maxfli Tour S Golf ball compression, specs & review
The Maxfli Tour S is a 80-compression, 3-piece golf ball with a urethane cover, mid spin and a mid flight. A three-piece cast urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with 80 compression delivering the lowest long-game spin in the Maxfli Tour lineup while maintaining premium greenside control, designed for moderate swing speed golfers who want a flatter, lower-spinning driver flight. MyGolfSpy's 2026 robot test named it the Great Buy for slower swing speeds.

Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

A three-piece cast urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with 80 compression delivering the lowest long-game spin in the Maxfli Tour lineup while maintaining premium greenside control, designed for moderate swing speed golfers who want a flatter, lower-spinning driver flight. MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test named it the Great Buy for slower swing speeds.
Who It’s For
The Maxfli Tour S is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, straight flight, soft feel, low spin. In the Maxfli lineup, the Tour S sits firmer than the Maxfli SoftFli and softer than the Maxfli Tour.
Feel
At 80 compression the Tour S is the softest of the Maxfli Tour balls, and MyGolfSpy’s robot found that softness came with real distance: eighth of 48 in total driver distance at 86 mph.
Spin Profile
Low long-game spin is the Tour S’s calling card: in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test its driver spin ranked 36th or 37th of 48 balls at all three speeds, roughly 2,890 rpm at 86 mph down to 2,200 rpm at 116 mph. Around the green the urethane cover pulls its weight: about 5,510 rpm on the 35-yard wedge in that test, 18th of 48, with a wedge dispersion pattern 74 percent tighter than its comparison group.
Trajectory & Construction
The low spin, not a low launch, is what keeps the flight from ballooning: the robot launched it 13.2 degrees at 86 mph, ninth-highest, and its 7-iron carried 161 yards, fifth-longest in the field. The three-piece build is core, one mantle and cast urethane; the mantle is tuned to strip spin off the driver, and the 7-iron spin followed, ranking 41st of 48. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
Priced at $39.99 per dozen, the Tour S sits in the value-tour sweet spot — roughly 80% of premium performance for 65% of the cost.
Buy it if
- Your driver speed is around 86 to 102 mph; that is where the robot data made it MyGolfSpy’s Great Buy for slower swing speeds.
- You play a lot of cool-weather golf and want a tour ball that does not start out firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compression of the Maxfli Tour S golf ball?
The Maxfli Tour S has a compression of about 80, which puts it in the mid-compression range. For the Tour S that means the softest feel of the four Maxfli Tour models, without giving up driver distance at moderate speeds. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.
Who should play the Maxfli Tour S?
The Maxfli Tour S is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, straight flight, soft feel, low spin.
What swing speed is the Maxfli Tour S designed for?
Maxfli aims it at moderate swing speeds, and MyGolfSpy named it the Great Buy for slower swings in its 2026 robot test. Faster players can play it too; at 116 mph it was 24th of 48 in total distance, so choose it for its low spin and soft feel.
Does the Maxfli Tour S have high greenside spin?
Moderately, yes. It spun about 5,510 rpm on a 35-yard wedge in the robot data, 18th of 48 and more than the Pro V1. The low spin shows up on full shots, not on short wedges, which is why we rate it mid spin overall.
Is the Maxfli Tour S good in cold weather?
Yes. At 80 compression it is a soft tour ball to begin with, so it stays playable in cold air longer than the firmer Tour and Tour X.
How much does the Maxfli Tour S cost?
MSRP is $39.99 per dozen.
