Callaway Chrome Soft Golf Balls 2020

Product Information

It just seems interesting to me that the testing isn’t broken down by box, since that is another variable in the test that doesn’t seem to be accounted for. For example, if you had been told that of the 3 dozen balls tested, 2 boxes had no bad balls but one box had 4 bad balls, would that change your view on the quality of the balls. Knowing that, I would probably argue that it seems the one box was a bad batch, and another should be tested since the majority of the small sample (2 out 3 boxes), had 0 issues. Our visual inspection found reasons for concern around core centering and layer concentricity, though these areas appear to have improved significantly from the previous model. Relative to the market average, the diameter of the Callaway Chrome Soft is on the smaller side, making it ideal for a tour ball. Reduces drag for increased overall distance, with a consistent, penetrating ball flight for optimum trajectory. The MyGolfSpy staff has tentative plans to visit the ball plant in March. We’ll have more to say then, just as we’ll certainly have more to say after we’ve had a chance to test (and cut) Callaway’s new and improved offerings. The List

I also read through the “about MGS Ball lab testing” link and I didn’t see anything that would explain there. I think without that context you’re leaving yourself open to the criticism of “another Callaway bash” until the rest of the series comes out (even though I personally have no doubts about the testing process employed by MGS!). A new building-wide environmental control system will ensure that when the weather changes, the ball doesn’t.While cover 2020 Chrome Soft covers are generally clean and free of tool marks, we did disqualify a single ball for a deep, fingernail-like impression that spanned multiple dimples. General Observations We deem individual balls under the size limit as “bad”; however, the lot itself would be conforming under USGA rules. Consistency and Roundness With a thin injected urethane cover, the Chrome Soft fits loosely into what’s generally called the “tour ball” category. It’s a four-piece design with a mid-sized inner core. On full shots, the 2020 Chrome Soft is classified as a high-launch, low-spin ball, which makes sense given where it falls on the compression scale. As you would expect from a urethane-covered ball, Callaway claims high green-side spin. All Callaway Chrome Soft golf balls are made at the company’s plant in Chicopee, Mass. 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft – Compression While MyGolfSpy bright up some points that are helping all of us get better balls, the distance testing was suspect. Simply averaging 85 & 115mph doesn’t tell the story. Nearly all the distance loss is over 110mph. I’ve banged a bunch of Chrome Softs and Pro V1s down the same fairway and saw nothing like what MyGolfSpy said. TXG couldn’t reproduce it either with Matt’s 125mph swing. This new design also boasts a new Tour Aero dimple design to provide powerful ball flight and lower drag for greater overall distance.

With Chrome Soft, that’s an especially challenging proposition. “We didn’t want to lose the essence and spirit of the product,” says Toulon. Make it better, but not firmer.Callaway told us that their latest duo is designed to be as premium as humanly possible, i.e. these babies are built for performance, just like a Ferrari, and, on top of that, they come loaded with the company's latest technologies and innovations. All these features make the new Chrome Soft the flagship ball offering in Callaway's 2020 portfolio, as they're crafted to be more consistent and longer than ever before.

The new Chrome Soft X is the modern Tour Ball, and we’ve reengineered every aspect of the design to deliver maximum distance for the elite player.Brands like it when their tour staff play the same ball you and I can buy at retail. It adds validation, credibility…that sort of thing. Before Left Dash hit the market, about 80% of Titleist staffers were playing one of the two retail flavors of Pro V1 balls. Bridgestone and Srixon both claim that 100% of their guys play the retail model – no secret items on either company’s menu. TaylorMade? A story for another day. Improvements to Callaway’s painting and finishing processes will ensure an even coating and uncompromised aerodynamic performance.
