Callaway Chrome Soft Golf Balls 2020

Product Information

While the overall diameter consistency of the 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft falls within the average range, there was a single ball that did not meet our standard of roundness. 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft – Weight

The new Callaway balls are without doubt one of the best ball models on the market and you need to test them out in 2022. Depending on the severity – small defects can be no big deal, while larger ones can be the difference between hitting a fairway and being OB. It’s worth mentioning that the Chrome Soft falls within the high end of the range, just short of “Good” By introducing new materials and altering the relationship between the three inner layers, Callaway gets what it describes as a “jailbreak” effect for the golf ball. More speed, same soft feel. From a fitting perspective, 100 MPH is almost certainly close to the upper limit of Chrome Soft’s viability. Much faster, over-compressing the ball and losing distance because of it, is a legitimate concern. The majority of faster swingers will likely be better off with Chrome Soft X.It’s true that manufacturers sometimes leave details out of the marketing message – I don’t recall anyone being entirely transparent about low compression balls being inherently slower, for example. Instead, that becomes messaging around playing the right ball for your swing speed and misnomers like Soft Fast cores (it’s all relative, I suppose). It’s also true that as soon as the cover is urethane, everybody claims high greenside spin. There will be some variance there, and we can’t quantify it in absolute terms, but by cutting a ball and looking at the composition, we can easily tell whether those claims are likely to be true or not. Never a fan of Cally balls after their mess a few years ago when they made all those bad balls, and the price is not reasonable, so I stay with Wilson Triad …. A new building-wide environmental control system will ensure that when the weather changes, the ball doesn’t. Improvements to Callaway’s painting and finishing processes will ensure an even coating and uncompromised aerodynamic performance. I am with ya. I walked away from Cally ever since bunch of faulty balls found. Is this what we get after 50M investment? this is a joke. what does Cally think of us? Fools?

Please Note: You may experience longer wait times on Mondays and Tuesdays. We appreciate your patience. The True Price will always be equal to or greater than the retail price. The greater the difference between the retail price and the True Price, the more you should be concerned about the quality of the ball. None of the balls in our 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft sample exceeded the USGA weight limit of 1.620 ounces. High speed core design is significantly larger for increased ball speed and distance through the bag. This core also works with the mantle system to deliver the highest resilience and speed. As usual , great write up. Geez, you’d think after spending 50mil that they wouldn’t need more time to get it right. What, the 50mil wasn’t enough to get it right on the xth# of runs. I doubt they will get any better.

Chrome Soft X (not) on Tour

I think what you are doing is great, but you are misleading people by saying 16.67% of balls are bad when your sample size is 36 balls.

Across the ball market as a whole, the Chrome Soft can be considered a mid-compression ball. However, it should be noted that it is among the softest in the urethane category and significantly softer than what is likely to be played on the PGA TOUR. Compression Consistency Off the tee: It's one thing to make a soft golf ball. It's another to make a soft ball that doesn't cost fast swingers precious distance. Based on our results, Callaway has done it. While the Chrome Soft doesn't appear to be any longer than tour models like the ProV1, it can at least keep pace. One of our testers swings the driver right at 105 mph on average, and he achieved a high launch with nice carry and roll. Tom – The article clearly states “11% of the balls have variations and performance implications should be a CONCERN”. Modern day, tour-quality golf balls are multi-layered constructions that go through numerous manufacturing stages and processes before they end up in our golf bags. While not among the absolutely most consistent balls on the market for compression, we have no major concerns. 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft – DiameterThe other thing that is interesting is that the data doesn’t tell us if the “bad” balls had multiple issues. So was of the total 4 balls that had concentricity issues, was one of those also one that had the significant off-center core or the one that had the cut on the cover or one that was too small? In that case, that is a total of just 4 bad balls out of 36 or 11% of balls that are bad. So does the data show that a ball with one manufacturing flaw tends to have multiple flaws? Or was a defect found on what would be 7 distinct golf balls, so 1 was too small with no other issues, 1 was cut with no other issues, 1 had an off-center core with no other issues, and 4 had concentricity issues? that would get to the 22% of “bad balls” listed, but I don’t remember seeing anywhere in the “how we test” or write up that clarifies that point. And if it was 7 balls with one issue each, then it would be interesting to know the breakdown between the boxes, since that would also provide insight of a potential outlier that may need to be removed from the sample and retested. It also goes the other way as well – so if you got another box and then that box had 4 bad balls in it, then maybe the two perfect boxes were the outliers so those should be removed and really the percentages are worse than what the results show here. You don’t need to compare a ball to anything when you’re stating the factual findings. At no point did MGS say “this ball is 20% better than other balls”. MGS did say X% of balls had this defect. What I can say is that manufacturers are working to quantify this in absolute terms along the lines of “If a core is x mm off-center, it can be expected to fly x-yards offline at 150 MPH speed”…something like that anyway. We’re not here to finish 2 nd,” says Toulon. “If we’re going to be the very best, there are some things we need to fix…and we’re on it.” Until then, here’s a brief rundown of some of what’s being implemented at Callaway’s Chicopee ball plant.
