Tour X LS
Maxfli's 2026 addition to the Tour lineup — a four-piece cast urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball with a larger inner mantle designed to trim long-game spin off the Tour X. Mind the gap between label and robot, though: MyGolfSpy's 2026 test measured it among the higher-spinning balls off the driver despite the low-spin name. $39.99 at DICK'S.
What do these specs mean?
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.

Who It’s For
The Maxfli Tour X LS is built for faster swing speeds (105 mph and above). It suits golfers who prioritize high swing speed, tour players, value tour ball, distance. In the Maxfli lineup, the Tour X LS sits firmer than the Maxfli Tour.
Feel
With a compression of 97 and a urethane cover, feel is firm and explosive — rewards fast swings with maximum energy transfer and a click at impact.
Spin Profile
The “LS” is the design intent — a larger inner mantle meant to trim long-game spin off the standard Tour X — but mind the gap between label and robot: MyGolfSpy’s 2026 test measured it among the higher-spinning balls off the driver despite the low-spin name. Around the green, the cover gives you tour-level greenside spin and one-hop-stop performance on full wedges.
Trajectory & Construction
A mid-flight window — versatile across course conditions. The 4-piece construction separates driver and wedge spin through multiple mantle layers — firm inner layers transfer energy off the tee while the soft cover grips on short shots. Works best in warmer conditions.
Price & Value
Priced at $39.99 per dozen, the Tour X LS sits in the value-tour sweet spot — roughly 80% of premium performance for 65% of the cost.
Buy it if
- You swing 105+ mph and can compress a 97-compression four-piece ball.
- Greenside spin and stopping power matter more than durability.
- You want Tour X wedge spin at $39.99 rather than full tour-ball money.
Skip it if
- Your swing speed is under 95 mph — you won’t compress it enough to get the intended distance.
- You’re playing below 50°F — consider a softer-feeling ball in the cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should play the Maxfli Tour X LS?
The Maxfli Tour X LS is built for faster swing speeds (105 mph and above). It suits golfers who prioritize high swing speed, tour players, value tour ball, distance.
What swing speed is the Maxfli Tour X LS designed for?
It is built for faster swingers (105 mph and above) who can fully compress the core.
Is the Maxfli Tour X LS actually lower-spinning than the Tour X?
Not by the robot. The larger inner mantle is designed to trim long-game spin, but MyGolfSpy’s 2026 test measured it among the higher-spinning balls off the driver at every speed tested. Golf Digest’s Hot List testing does back the design intent relative to its sibling: less spin than the Maxfli Tour X, for more rollout.
Does the Maxfli Tour X LS have high greenside spin?
Yes — the urethane cover delivers tour-level greenside spin on wedges and short irons.
Is the Maxfli Tour X LS good in cold weather?
Not especially. The firmer construction can feel harsh and lose carry below 55°F — consider a softer-compression ball for winter rounds.
How much does the Maxfli Tour X LS cost?
MSRP is $39.99 per dozen.
