Maxfli Tour vs. Pro V1: The Cheaper One is Actually Longer. But There's a Catch.

We tested the Maxfli Tour and Titleist Pro V1 using our standardized golf ball testing protocol on the SkyTrak ST Max launch monitor.

Because we use human swings, not robots, our data reflects the performance differences you can actually expect to see on the course, not microscopic variances under perfect conditions. We use strict benchmarks for swing speed, shot quality, and delivery dynamics to keep results as consistent as possible.

Individual results will vary, but the patterns we see across dozens of shots are meaningful.

Maxfli Tour starts to close the gap on Pro V1 around the greens, but doesn’t get all the way there. 

Pro V1 generated 6,798 RPM of spin from 50 yards and rolled out just 2.0 yards. When you compare that performance to the field – Pro V1 essentially rolled out one foot more than the best ball in our test – you can’t really ask for much else.

Maxfli Tour spun a bit less, 6,526 RPM and rolled out 2.5 yards. The half-yard of extra rollout is noteworthy, but it's a much smaller gap than our iron test might have suggested.

For most players, both balls provide more than adequate control from 50 yards. The edge goes to Pro V1, but unlike our iron test, it’s small enough here that you might not actually notice it with your own two eyes on the course.

Maxfli Tour's driver accuracy was its most surprising weakness in our test. The 290 RPM of sidespin was unexpected from a ball that proved to be low-spin in most other areas. Its iron accuracy was much better, with just 42 RPM of sidespin, taking it only 3.0 yards offline, which was among the best in our field.

Pro V1's driver accuracy was average (246 RPM sidespin, 9.0 yards offline) but its iron sidespin was very low at 64 RPM and 6.5 yards offline. 

Neither ball actively helps you find fairways, but Pro V1 is the more predictable of the two through the bag.

One spot apart in overall performance rankings. $28 apart in price. That's the whole comparison in two numbers.

Pro V1's performance edge is comes from the approach game in, but shrinks around the greens. It's a significantly better ball from 150-175 yards. 

Maxfli Tour's performance edge is also significant but equally concentrated: it's a better distance ball off the tee, and way easier on the wallet. 

When you average those results, you get almost the same overall score.

Since Maxfli Tour and Pro V1 are actually so different, choosing which one is best for you should be easy.

Choose Maxfli Tour If:

You want elite distance from a urethane ball and don't need your irons to stop on a dime. 

Maxfli Tour is one of the three longest balls in our 43-ball test, with a legitimate low-spin, high-launch driver profile that competes with anything in our field, at $29 in bulk to boot.

If you prioritize distance off the tee, and your iron play is solid enough that you can live with average stopping power, Maxfli Tour is one of the best values in golf.

Choose Pro V1 If:

Stopping power is non-negotiable and you're willing to pay for the best. 

Pro V1 ranked 1st in stopping power of 43 balls, and did so comfortably. Better players who fire at pins and need the ball to stick know what that's worth. 

If the short game is where you make your money and distance off the tee isn't your primary concern, Pro V1 is worth every one of those $57.
