Loved the format of this new Ball Lab results. will be really interesting to see how manufacturers and ball models come out of this test.

The changes begin with an inner core that’s 34% larger in volume. That contributes to higher launch and lower spin, which will be a larger point of differentiation from Chrome Soft X moving forward. In addition to his editorial responsibilities, he was instrumental in developing MyGolfSpy's data-driven testing methodologies and continues to sift through our data to find the insights that can help improve your game. The graphene-infused outer core helps provide short-game spin, while a new high-speed mantle construction works to increase ball speed throughout the bag. 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 And to compare the number of Kirkland balls that were out on the floors which is minimal because that’s how they do it, compared to all of the golf retail in the world. That would be a great thing for Costco because they have a deal with Callaway so they probably would have been the buyer of the recall balls and then they would profit.It’s amazing isn’t it? People won’t take the time actually read an article and get all the facts, they look at a couple charts or pictures and make incorrect or at best incomplete statements based on that.

component or part thereof that is defective or becomes defective during normal use within two years The World No.2 has chosen to begin his 2024 schedule by playing the inaugural Dubai Invitational on the DP World Tour Nobody disputes that there’s more to ball performance than what happens with the driver but Callaway understands that Chrome Soft’s driver speeds will be scrutinized. The ball needs to be more competitive off the tee. To that end, Callaway says the improvements are good for an extra 5 yards with the driver (based on a 100 MPH clubhead speed). It’s notable that Callaway says 20% of the gain can be attributed to process improvements at the factory. More on that in a bit. With higher compression baked into the design, there’s significantly less of a chance that the ball will over-compress at tour speeds. Don’t take that as a suggestion that Callaway has gone full Pinnacle here. As with Chrome Soft, it’s about tweaking materials and the relationship between the core and CSX’s two mantle layers to create a ball that, compression point for compression point, is faster than competitor offerings, but still feels soft- ish.

The overall compression consistency of the 2020 Chrome Soft is squarely in the average range. None of the balls in our sample varied significantly from the median compression measurement. Extremely durable, resilient, and thinner cover material increases ball speed and creates lower spin on full shots, while maintaining high spin and control around the green. With the 2022 edition of the Chrome Soft X, Callaway wanted to ensure it retained the spin profile that several of its tour players and better players have fallen in love with, while making it faster off the driver. After all, who doesn’t want to hit bigger drives? I hadn’t seen the comment on the sample size – I think my comment was posted before Tony made clarified that point. Frankly I am a little surprised that the manufacturers would agree to that small of a sample, but if they are on board so be it.
