The Lowdown on the Top Urethane Golf Balls of 2025
Hey there, golf aficionados! If you’re a performance-driven golfer (like most of us hanging around MyGolfSpy), you know that the golf ball you choose can make a huge difference in your game. Previously, we covered the most popular Surylyn/ionomer golf balls, but today we’re zooming in on the crème de la crème: urethane golf balls.
The Urethane Advantage: Why They Dominate
First off, let’s talk about the numbers. In a survey of over 5,400 MyGolfSpy readers, a whopping 87% favored urethane balls as their go-to choice. This means these high-performing, premium golf balls are definitely the crowd’s favorite when it comes to serious play. What’s the secret sauce? Urethane balls typically offer superior spin control and soft feel, making them the preferred option for those looking to sink that pesky putt or hit a pinpoint approach shot.
1. Titleist Pro V1: The OG Champion
It’s no surprise that the iconic Titleist Pro V1 snagged the top spot among our readers. Nearly 13.69% of you picked it as your ball of choice. Known for its exceptional performance and feel, the Pro V1 sets the benchmark by which other balls are measured. If you want a ball that delivers on control, distance, and consistency, this is it.
- Price: Grab your Pro V1 for $54.99
2. Titleist Pro V1x: Close Second
Coming in hot at number two is the Titleist Pro V1x, with almost 10% of you swearing by it. With a slightly firmer feel and more lift, the Pro V1x is ideal for those who crave higher spin on their longer shots. It’s pretty clear that Titleist knows how to make a winner!
- Price: Check out Pro V1x for $54.99
3. Maxfli Tour X: The Underdog
Now things start to get interesting. The Maxfli Tour X clinched the third position with approximately 8.5% of you making it your top pick. This one’s particularly exciting because it’s gaining traction—largely thanks to its appealing price point and incredible performance. It seems more of you are opting for the Tour X over the stock Tour model. Maybe Ben Griffin is doing something right, huh?
4. Maxfli Tour: Solid Performer
Right behind its sibling, the Maxfli Tour, garnered about 6.29% of the votes. Many who chose it love its feel and performance. With price being a major factor, Maxfli is effectively carving out a name in the urethane game—making it accessible for all skill levels!
5. Kirkland Performance+: Costco’s Best Kept Secret
Who woulda thought a Costco brand would make it? The Kirkland Performance+ takes the fifth spot with nearly 6% of our audience backing it. Known for its unbeatable value, it’s become the best bargain in the urethane ball arena. While the latest models may not dethrone the original, they’ve shown noticeable improvement.
- Price: Pick up a dozen for $39.95
6. Vice Pro: DTC Game Changer
Formerly a favorite, Vice Pro still has its fair share of loyalists, pulling in over 4% among urethane supporters. Often considered the first serious direct-to-consumer (DTC) alternative to the Pro V1, it remains a solid choice thanks to its price and feel. Though it’s trailing behind Maxfli for now, it’s still a fantastic option!
7. Callaway Chrome Soft: Consistent but Not Thrilling
The Callaway Chrome Soft lingered in at 3.49% in our survey. While many still enjoy it, there’s a general sense that it’s not making waves lately. If you’re after performance, it might be worth looking at other options in the Callaway lineup instead.
8. TaylorMade TP5x: High Compression Favorite
TaylorMade’s TP5x is a pleasure to see at #8 with 3.43% of the selections. While not the top dog, it still remains popular, especially among those who prefer high compression offerings. If you like that extra zip and energy in your shots, this could be the ball for you!
- Price: Check out TP5x for $54.99
9. Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash: The Hidden Gem
The Pro V1x Left Dash gives us a treat with the same 3.43% as TP5x. It’s becoming increasingly popular among our readers looking for that Pro V1 performance vibe but with a slightly different feel.
- Price: Find it for $54.99
10. Srixon Z-Star Diamond: Strong Contender
Finally, we have the Srixon Z-Star Diamond catching the attention of 3.43% of you. Though not a mainstream favorite, it is praised for its unique performance characteristics, making it a thrilling option to explore.
- Price: Grab a dozen for $49.99
