Compression measures how much a ball deforms at impact. Match it to your driver speed and the ball returns the energy you put into it; miss the range and you either leave distance behind or lose the soft feel you paid for. The full golf ball compression chart ranks every ball we track, and the golf ball finder narrows it to your own speed.
Who the Maxfli Tour S suits
The softest of the three Maxfli Tour balls and the cheapest genuine urethane ball on this chart at $39.99. Maxfli publishes 85 for the current model and that is the figure charted here. MyGolfSpy Ball Lab measured the 2023 Tour S at 82 on its own gauge and gave it a Ball Lab Quality Award, scoring it above the Pro V1 of that year — a different model year and a different gauge, so it is quoted here rather than charted. Made by Foremost in Taiwan for DICK'S Sporting Goods, who pay for extra quality checks.
