Hey golfers, introducing the latest vary of Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X & Chrome Comfortable from Callaway. Let’s proper dive into the expertise behind the ball, then my outcomes testing them. I ought to observe from the beginning that when testing I’m basing it on my biases and tendencies, with my regular desire a ball that spins extra across the inexperienced fairly than probably going a little bit farther. Additionally, I are inclined to launch the ball a little bit on the low aspect which I don’t thoughts as a result of we all know how windy golf might be in Melbourne all yr spherical. Please hold this in thoughts.
Let’s start with the x’s and o’s from all of the balls! The Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X and the Chrome Comfortable balls have been designed to create exceptionally quick ball speeds by means of its new Hyper Quick SoftCore. The core is engineered for higher gamers who need one of the best stability of lengthy distance and comfortable really feel. The distinction within the balls embody 3- and 4-piece balls, providing differing spins across the inexperienced, workability in shot shaping and the flexibility to launch the ball within the sure angles. We’re actually spoiled for alternative!
Now for my outcomes. I have a tendency to begin the ball testing course of from across the inexperienced, first hitting the most straightforward and primary pictures after which progressing to the more durable pictures. Across the inexperienced I actually loved all three, nonetheless the ball that stood out was the Chrome Tour X. It’s the ball that spins probably the most across the inexperienced, which I choose, however I used to be actually impressed in how I may launch the upper and decrease lofted chips and pitches.
Transferring to the longer sport and it was more durable to separate the distinction between the Chrome Tour X and the Chrome Tour. Once more, how fortunate are we with producers like Callaway producing such superb high quality? Now let’s point out the Chrome Comfortable, however I simply couldn’t get sufficient spin with my driver and irons. That’s my tendency to launch it decrease so though this ball isn’t for me, in case you are a golfer trying to knock some flight off and spin rather less, I’d completely suggest this ball for you.
To the Chrome Tour X and that is the ball for me! This ball supplied the suitable quantity of spin across the inexperienced hitting the identical shot after which transitioning into the longer sport. I may spin the ball extra and launch it increased. One thing I’ve by no means actually considered however will most undoubtedly put a excessive precedence on is testing a brand new ball and driver collectively. After I examined this ball, I additionally had the pleasure of testing the brand new Callaway Ai Smoke. Why must you do that? I did this by pure coincidence however to the fitter from Callaway’s shock, he couldn’t imagine the consistency within the spin price. I by no means obtained beneath 2145rpm and by no means above 2541rpm and let me guarantee you, I used to be hitting it everywhere in the face! I used to be capable of get one other 12m carry, which is wild! This mix of ball and driver is now how I’ll take a look at going ahead and one thing that can stroll straight into the bag.
