Just out of curiousity, how did you find the durability (I found that I could bruise the cover with a full sand wedge, and I am not a fast swinger– but it could be I had a couple of duds)? If it is a little more and say we end up gaining 1-3 yds, that is hard to quantify playing them on the course. Matt has worked in nearly every job in the golf industry from club fitting to instruction to writing and speaking. Some golfers will find it easier to get greater distance out greater distance from a golf ball they can compress more easily, than one that needs a higher swing speed to get the most yardage from. Players with slower swing speeds (even low-handicappers) may see better performance from a softer, lower-compression ball.

par three over a gully and hit a 5 iron that landed 5 feet from the pin and rolled out about 15 feet. We want to get an idea of how each ball performs in all areas of the game so we can tell you what its strengths and weaknesses are, allowing you to make an informed choice about your next golf ball purchase.Dicks/GG does take the Maxfli sale away but usually not for long and another "for a limited time" shows up. Low handicappers who don’t swing fast enough to reap the performance of these balls should consider the Maxfli Tour S, the lower-compression sibling to the Tour and Tour X. Maxfli has some of the boldest yet, stating that with their CG alignment line, you can hit longer, higher, straighter drives, so we subjected the ball to a complete Golf Myths Unplugged test HERE. The Maxfli Tour and Tour X golf balls make interesting claims about the benefits of “Center of Gravity Balancing. In the long game, both Maxfli Tour balls feel comparable to other premium, urethane-covered golf balls.

The best premium golf balls come in alternative versions that spin slightly less for players who prefer a firmer feel or more control off the tee. Headlining that list are incredible feel and impressive greenside spin, as well as a ball that makes it easy for players to control trajectory and shape shots. That makes this a great option for high handicap golfers looking for a durable option that will deliver excellent ball flights and forgiveness off the face of the club. We enjoyed the sensation it offered off the tee and also liked the higher flights it offered when we chose to play with our driver.But long-game performance, feel, and durability are standout features that combine to make the Maxfli Tour X worth a try. Relative to the rest of the market, they're still in the same spot they were before, with Kirkland being an outlier (so far). I have been using them for the last few weeks and they are more durable, keep their sheen longer and don't have those two line alignment aids for the CG.
