Is the Maxfli Tour X worth it?

For the right swing speed, yes. At $39.99 per dozen (about $30 in the 48-ball pack), the Tour X gives you 4-piece cast-urethane tour construction for roughly $18 less than a Pro V1x. The catch is fit. It's a 102-compression ball aimed at 105+ mph drivers. Slower swings still get the speed (it was among the three fastest balls off the driver at slow speed in 2026 robot testing), but it flew highest and finished last in total distance off mid-speed irons, so a softer Maxfli Tour or Tour S often fits better below about 95 mph. Fast swingers get premium greenside spin at value-tier pricing.

What swing speed is the Maxfli Tour X designed for?

The Tour X is aimed at driver swing speeds of 105 mph and up. Maxfli's 2025 update (a stiffer mantle and a 336-dimple pattern) stretches the honest fit down toward 100 mph for solid strikers. Under 95 mph it plays firm, and 2026 robot testing had it last in total distance off mid-speed irons. If you swing in the 85 to 105 mph range, the softer Maxfli Tour (94) or Tour S (80) are the more balanced fit.

What is the Maxfli Tour X made of?

The Tour X is a 4-piece ball: a high-energy core, a dual ionomer mantle, and a soft cast-urethane cover, wrapped in a 336-dimple Polyhedron pattern introduced in 2025. Maxfli states 100 compression, the firmest in its lineup, and the 2026 robot test's gauge read 102. The 4-piece build separates driver spin from wedge spin, so the firm inner layers fire off the tee while the urethane cover grips on short shots. Since mid-2026 it shares the 4-piece slot with the Tour X LS.

How much does the Maxfli Tour X cost?

The Maxfli Tour X lists at $39.99 per dozen at Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy. The 48-ball bulk pack runs $119.98, which works out to about $30 per dozen. That's roughly $18 under a Titleist Pro V1x or a Callaway Chrome Tour X at full price. Maxfli is a Dick's house brand, so the Tour line is rarely discounted further and isn't sold at Costco, PGA Tour Superstore, or major DTC golf retailers.

Do any tour players use the Maxfli Tour X?

Yes. PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin played the Maxfli Tour X through the 2025 season and put the new Tour X LS in play at the 2026 WM Phoenix Open; Dick's extended that partnership through 2028 in early 2026. Instructor Sean Foley endorses the line. Few $40 balls have a three-time PGA Tour winner playing them at tour swing speeds.

What's the difference between the Maxfli Tour X and the Tour X LS?

The same cast-urethane cover class and the same firmness tier, with a larger inner mantle that Maxfli says cuts long-game spin. BallCaddie's catalog lists the LS at 97 against the X's 100, so read the two as one tier. The 2026 robot test didn't show the spin cut off the driver: the LS spun more than the X at 116 mph (2,469 rpm against 2,294) and at 86 mph, and the two tied at 102 mph. The standard X also has the longer review record and stays in stock, so it's the safer buy. If you play the X and want less driver spin, test a sleeve of the LS on a launch monitor before you switch.

Is the Maxfli Tour X LS actually low spin?

By design, yes. In the 2026 48-ball robot test, no. The Tour X LS ranked fifth-highest in driver spin at both the fastest and slowest test speeds, and it matched or out-spun the standard Tour X at all three. A robot delivers the club one way and you may deliver it another, so test a sleeve before you buy it to kill driver spin.

Maxfli Tour X LS vs Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash: which should I play?

They target the same player: a fast swinger who wants a firm ball with reduced long-game spin. The Left Dash has the longer track record and spun about 110 rpm less off the driver at 116 mph in the 2026 robot test, where it finished just outside the longest group. The Tour X LS costs $39.99 against the Left Dash's $57.99, an $18-per-dozen gap. DICK'S reviewers make the comparison unprompted; one called the LS 'similar to Pro V1x Left Dash, but nearly half the price.'

Maxfli Tour X and Tour X LS Review (2026): The $40 Tour Balls for Fast Swings

Q: Maxfli Tour X vs Titleist Pro V1x: which is better?

They're close on paper. The Tour X and the Pro V1x (~102) gauge the same, and both are 4-piece urethane balls aimed at fast swings with a firm feel. The Pro V1x is the more proven quantity, with a published Ball Lab record and the widest tour usage. The Tour X answers with a roughly $18-per-dozen lower price and a PGA Tour winner, Ben Griffin, who plays it. For most fast-swing amateurs, the gap is narrower than the price gap.

Quick answer

The Maxfli Tour X is a 4-piece cast-urethane tour ball at $39.99 per dozen (about $30 in the 48-pack), built for 105+ mph drivers. Its 102 compression suits fast swings: in 2026 robot testing it ranked 2nd of 48 balls in total driver distance at 116 mph and 6th in 35-yard wedge spin. PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin plays it. Below roughly 95 mph, step down to the softer Maxfli Tour or Tour S. Its 2026 sibling, the Tour X LS, is reviewed below at the same price.

What $40 actually buys you

The Maxfli Tour X (~102) is a 4-piece ball: a high-energy core, a dual ionomer mantle, and a soft cast-urethane cover under a 336-dimple Polyhedron pattern that replaced the old 318-dimple design for 2025. Its sibling, the Maxfli Tour X LS (~97), joined it in 2026 and is reviewed further down. Maxfli states 100 compression, the firmest in its line, and the 2026 robot test’s gauge read 102. Independent Ball Lab teardowns cover the Maxfli Tour, Tour S, and the 2023 Tour X, but not the current 2025 build.

Maxfli has been a Dick’s Sporting Goods house brand since 2008, and the Tour line is built by Foremost Golf in Taiwan, the same cast-urethane factory behind several premium balls. The brand depth lives in our full Maxfli lineup review; the short version is that the supply chain stays in-house, which anchors the $40 price.

The Tour X, like the rest of the current Maxfli line, sits on the USGA Conforming Golf Ball List, so it’s legal for any competition you’ll play. The 2025 refresh also added a high-flexural-modulus mantle, Maxfli’s term for a stiffer transition layer that moves more energy from core to cover. Maxfli pairs it with the new 336-dimple pattern to aim for a penetrating, wind-resistant flight.

Who the Tour X actually fits

Whether this ball makes sense for you comes down to driver swing speed. The Tour X is a 102-compression ball. Slower swings can still use it: MyGolfSpy’s 2026 test had it among the three fastest balls off the driver at slow speed. Its weak spot is irons at mid speed, where it flew highest and finished last in total distance. The honest fit zone is 105 mph and up; the 2025 mantle and dimple changes stretch it down toward 100 mph for golfers who flush their drives.

For context, TrackMan’s amateur data puts the typical male driver around 93 to 94 mph, which sits below the Tour X’s window. If you swing under about 95 mph, the Maxfli Tour (~94) or Maxfli Tour S (~80) feel softer and cost the same $39.99. Under 95 mph, the “X” on the box buys firmness you can’t use.

Spend the firmness where it pays back. Above 105 mph, a too-soft ball balloons spin and leaks ball speed off the driver, and the Tour X’s firm core is the fix. The framework behind that tradeoff is in how to choose a golf ball for your swing speed and the golf-ball compression chart.

How it performs: speed, spin, and feel

Within Maxfli’s three urethane Tour balls, the Tour X is the fastest with the most greenside spin, per Plugged In Golf’s launch-monitor testing. That ranking holds across full swings and wedges.

The 4-piece build splits driver spin from wedge spin. The firm inner layers hold tee-shot spin in check so fast swings don’t balloon, while the urethane cover grabs grooves on short shots. The 2026 robot test put numbers on it: at 116 mph the Tour X spun 2,294 rpm off the driver, 26th of 48 balls, and finished 2nd in total distance. On the 35-yard wedge shot it spun 5,850 rpm, 6th of 48. That’s mid-pack driver spin with top-ten greenside spin.

Feel is firm and clicky. At 102 compression the Tour X gives you a louder, more explosive sensation at impact than a Titleist Pro V1 (~92), which fast swingers tend to love and slower swingers find harsh. Cold makes it feel harsher still, so it’s a rough winter ball below about 50°F.

MyGolfSpy hasn’t published a dedicated Ball Lab quality score for the 2025 Tour X. Its only Tour X teardown covers the 2023 ball (scored 73), and the current version has only appeared in the group robot tests. Those tests measure performance, so this build’s manufacturing consistency is still ungraded.

Maxfli Tour X vs Titleist Pro V1x

This is the comparison most buyers run in their head. On paper the two are close, both 4-piece urethane balls aimed at fast swings with a firm feel.

Ball	Compression	Construction	Price/dozen	Where it wins
Maxfli Tour X	~102	4-piece urethane	$39.99	Price, tour validation
Titleist Pro V1x	~102	4-piece urethane	$57.99	Proven pedigree, tour usage
Titleist Pro V1	~92	3-piece urethane	$57.99	Softer feel, easier to compress

The Pro V1x is the more proven quantity, with a published Ball Lab record and the widest tour usage in golf, while the 2025 Tour X is still waiting on a dedicated Ball Lab score. The Tour X answers on price, by roughly $18 per dozen at full retail, plus a tour player of its own. PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin played the Tour X through the 2025 season and trialed the Tour X LS in early 2026, with Dick’s extending the partnership through 2028.

Against the softer Pro V1, the contrast is sharper. At 92 compression and 3-piece construction, the Pro V1 feels softer and compresses more easily at moderate speed; the Tour X is firmer and built to hold driver spin down at 105+ mph, which is the right trade above that speed and the wrong one below 95. For most fast-swing amateurs, the on-course performance gap is narrower than the price gap. If you want the firmer Titleist option, the Pro V1x Left Dash (~105) goes a shade firmer still at full Titleist pricing.

Maxfli Tour X LS: built for lower spin, but it spun more in the robot test

The Maxfli Tour X LS (~97) is the second 4-piece ball in the Tour series, announced in February 2026 alongside the Ben Griffin partnership extension through 2028. Griffin gave it its first PGA Tour reps at the WM Phoenix Open before it reached DICK’S and Golf Galaxy in limited quantities in summer 2026. The DICK’S listing carries the familiar Maxfli build: a cast urethane cover, a polyhedron dimple pattern, and the center-of-gravity balancing process the whole Tour line uses for roll consistency. The brief is less long-game spin than the standard X for high-speed players, with the same firm feel; BallCaddie’s catalog places it at 97, one tier with the X rather than a step down.

The label vs. the robot. The 2026 robot test (48 balls, three swing speeds, driver through wedge) measured the Tour X LS as the fifth-highest-spinning ball off the driver at the 116 mph test speed, in company with the Srixon Z-Star XV and the yellow Kirkland, and fifth again at 86 mph. About 600 rpm separated the field’s top driver spin from the bottom at 116 mph and about 900 at 86. The LS also spun more than the standard Tour X: 2,469 rpm against 2,294 at 116 mph and 3,234 against 3,098 at 86, with the two tied at 102 mph. Off a 7-iron it was last or next to last in ball speed at every test speed, and the whole field sat within 1.5 mph there, so that ranking costs almost nothing on the course. If you’re shopping for a low-spin driver ball, the Pro V1x Left Dash (~105) at 2,357 rpm and the Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond (~101) at 2,315 both spun less than the LS at 116 mph, and so did the standard Tour X. Test a sleeve on a launch monitor before you trust the box or the robot.

Ball	Compression	Construction	Price/dozen	The short version
Maxfli Tour X LS	~97	4-piece urethane	$39.99	Built for less long-game spin, hard to find
Maxfli Tour X	~102	4-piece urethane	$39.99	Longer off the robot’s driver, longer review record, easier to buy
Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash	~105	4-piece urethane	$57.99	The category benchmark, at benchmark pricing

Against the X, the robot favored the X. At 116 mph it was about 1.5 mph faster in ball speed and 6 yards longer in total distance, with a little more 35-yard wedge spin (5,850 rpm against 5,693). The LS’s case rests on Maxfli’s design brief and Griffin’s bag, so the X is the safer buy until your own launch-monitor numbers say otherwise. Against the Left Dash, the LS is the value play: the 2026 robot test put the Left Dash 10th of 48 in total distance at 116 mph, just outside the longest group on a flatter flight, and 4 yards ahead of the LS for $18 more a dozen. A DICK’S reviewer put the cross-shop plainly: “similar to Pro V1x Left Dash, but nearly half the price.”

Price and stock: $39.99 per dozen at DICK’S and Golf Galaxy, about $30 a dozen in the four-dozen promo, and frequently sold out; both stores listed it out of stock when we checked on October 3, 2026. Maxfli said quantities would be limited at launch, and owner reviews (a 5.0 average in its first months) came with a steady chorus of “wish it was in stock.” If the LS is gone, the standard Tour X or the Left Dash are the closest substitutes, depending on which way you want the spin to go.

The mistakes that cost the most strokes

Playing the Tour X under 95 mph. It stays fast off the driver there. Off a mid-speed 7-iron in the 2026 robot test it flew highest and finished last in total distance, so you get height and stopping power and give up yards. The Maxfli Tour S (~80) is the softer option.
Buying it for soft feel. At 102 compression it’s the firmest Maxfli, and the Tour S is the soft urethane one.
Letting the ball get cold. A freezer test moved compression only 2 to 3 points after 6 hours, and the cold balls still lost more than 21 yards. Store sleeves indoors and rotate two through a warm pocket. The Tour X’s firm feel also gets harsher in the cold.
Testing off a single sleeve. Three balls off a range mat is a small sample. The 48-pack at $119.98 lowers per-ball cost enough to run a real 9-hole on-course test.

Budget vs premium: when the $18 matters

At full retail the Tour X saves about $18 a dozen versus a Pro V1x or a Callaway Chrome Tour X (~99), which both list at $57.99. Over two dozen balls a season, that’s about $36 kept in your pocket for the same class of ball.

If your short game is sharp enough to use tour-level greenside spin and you swing 105+ mph, the Tour X gives you most of the premium ball for value-tier money. If your irons already fly high or you want a softer feel, a softer Maxfli is usually the better fit, since the Tour X flew highest and finished last in total distance off mid-speed irons in the 2026 robot test. For the broader value picture, see best value golf ball in 2026. If you want a firm tour ball from a major brand to test against it, the Srixon Z-Star XV (~96) is the comparison worth running next.

The next step

This review narrows one ball; the fitting question is which ball across the whole market fits your numbers. Run swing speed, typical miss, greenside priority, and budget through the BallCaddie fitting quiz and it scores the Tour X against the rest of the ball catalog. It takes about 90 seconds. Your fitting report is free; your #1 ball is paid. If a softer or cheaper ball is the right call, that’s what you’ll get.

Key takeaways

The Maxfli Tour X is a 102-compression, 4-piece cast-urethane tour ball at $39.99 per dozen, or about $30 in the 48-pack.
It fits 105+ mph drivers; the 2025 mantle and 336-dimple update stretch that toward 100 mph, but under 95 mph the softer Tour or Tour S is the right Maxfli.
In the 2026 robot test the Tour X paired mid-pack driver spin (26th of 48 at 116 mph) with top-ten 35-yard wedge spin (6th), and Plugged In Golf found it the fastest and highest-spinning of the three Maxfli Tour balls.
Against a Pro V1x (~102) the Tour X gives up a longer published Ball Lab record for roughly $18 per dozen in savings.
Ben Griffin played it through the 2025 PGA Tour season (and trialed the LS in 2026), and the ball is on the USGA Conforming Golf Ball List.
The Tour X LS (~97, $39.99, 2026) is built to spin less than the X, but it was the fifth-highest-spinning ball off the driver at 116 mph in the 2026 48-ball robot test and out-spun the X there; it sells only at DICK’S and Golf Galaxy and is frequently sold out.
