Maxfli TriFli Fade Golf Balls
We engineered the TriFli Fade to solve one of golf’s most common frustrations: losing sight of your ball mid-flight. Our exclusive color-fade technology creates a gradient finish that stands out against any sky condition, helping you track every shot from tee to green.
The three-piece construction combines a high-energy core with an ionomer mantle layer and soft Surlyn cover for the optimal blend of distance and greenside control. Whether you’re facing bright sun, overcast skies, or late-afternoon rounds, the visual advantage of maxfli trifli fade golf balls keeps your focus where it belongs—on your game.
What makes TriFli Fade unique
Three-Piece Construction & Materials
The TriFli Fade features a proprietary three-layer design optimized for players seeking both distance and control. At the core sits our high-energy rubber compound, engineered to compress efficiently across a wide range of swing speeds while maximizing energy return at impact.
Surrounding the core is an ionomer mantle layer that acts as the energy transfer zone. This intermediate layer converts clubhead speed into ball velocity while maintaining the structural integrity needed for consistent compression. The outer Surlyn cover delivers the soft feel and greenside spin you need for approach shots and delicate chips without sacrificing durability.
Visibility Technology & Color Options
How the Fade Effect Works
We developed the gradient fade specifically to address the challenge of tracking ball flight against variable sky conditions. The color transition creates visual contrast regardless of whether you’re playing under blue skies, clouds, or the golden light of evening rounds. Your eyes naturally lock onto the color shift as the ball rotates, making it easier to follow the flight path from start to finish.
The TriFli Fade is currently offered in four gradient combinations: White-to-Pink, White-to-Orange, White-to-Blue, and White-to-Green. Each fade pattern maintains high visibility while giving you the option to match your personal preference or course conditions. The white base ensures easy spotting in the fairway and rough, while the color accent provides mid-air tracking advantages.
Performance Characteristics & Swing Speed
With a compression rating of 75, the TriFli Fade performs optimally for golfers with moderate to moderately-fast swing speeds—typically driver speeds between 85 and 105 mph. This compression range ensures the core activates properly to deliver maximum distance while maintaining enough firmness for controlled iron shots.
The 332-dimple aerodynamic pattern reduces drag during flight and promotes a penetrating ball flight that holds its line in crosswinds. In our internal testing, the TriFli Fade averaged 2-4 yards longer carry distance compared to our previous two-piece models while maintaining comparable greenside spin rates around 6,500 RPM on wedge shots.

Common Questions About TriFli Fade Golf Balls
The color-fade finish is purely visual and has no impact on aerodynamics or flight characteristics. The gradient is integrated into the cover material during manufacturing using the same processes and materials as our solid-color balls.
The 332-dimple pattern and three-piece construction determine flight performance, while the fade pattern serves exclusively to enhance visibility. You’ll get the same distance, spin, and trajectory whether you choose a fade finish or a solid color from the TriFli lineup.
The TriFli Fade is optimized for golfers with driver swing speeds between 85 and 105 mph, which corresponds to a compression rating of 75. If your typical driver swing speed falls in this range, the core will compress properly to maximize energy transfer and distance.
Players with slower swing speeds below 80 mph may find the ball feels too firm and doesn’t compress enough for optimal distance. Conversely, golfers with tour-level speeds above 110 mph might benefit from our higher-compression Tour series balls that are designed for faster swings.
Yes, all Maxfli TriFli Fade golf balls conform to USGA and R&A equipment rules and are legal for tournament play at every level. The color-fade finish meets all governing body standards for golf ball appearance and performance.
We recommend checking your specific tournament’s local rules regarding colored golf balls, as some amateur events may have preferences about ball color for pace-of-play reasons. The white base of the TriFli Fade typically satisfies even conservative tournament policies.
The TriFli Fade is available in two package options. The sleeve contains three balls and is ideal for trying the product or keeping a few extras in your bag. The dozen pack includes four sleeves of three balls each for better value.
We recommend starting with a sleeve to test the visibility benefits and performance characteristics on your home course before committing to a full dozen. Many golfers keep multiple fade colors in their bag and rotate based on course conditions and lighting.
The color gradient is integrated throughout the entire Surlyn cover layer rather than applied as a surface coating. This manufacturing process ensures the fade pattern remains visible for the entire usable life of the ball.
Unlike painted finishes that can chip or peel with wedge contact, the TriFli Fade’s color runs deep into the cover material. Normal scuffing from course play may dull the surface slightly, but the gradient contrast remains clearly visible even after multiple rounds of use.
All TriFli models share the same three-piece construction: high-energy core, ionomer mantle layer, and soft Surlyn cover. The performance characteristics—distance, spin, feel, and durability—are identical across the entire TriFli family.
The only difference is the finish. The Fade features our gradient color technology for enhanced in-flight visibility, while our solid-color options like TriFli White, Yellow, Pink, and Orange offer traditional single-tone finishes. Choose based on your visibility preferences and playing conditions.
Absolutely. The TriFli Fade is designed for golfers across all skill levels, and the visibility benefits can be especially helpful for developing players who are working on consistent ball-striking and tracking their shots.
The moderate compression and three-piece design provide a good balance of distance and control without requiring precise contact. The durable Surlyn cover also forgives mishits better than softer urethane covers, making these balls a practical choice for golfers who are still building consistency in their game.
