In today’s video, we’re testing out the new Chrome Tour balls from Callaway. We’ll be comparing it with the Titlelist Pro V1’s. Hope you enjoy this video, and dont forget to like and subscribe.
Jason can you tell us a little bit more about the new ball yep so we have two new balls that we’re focusing on for this year uh the Chrome tour and the Chrome tour X both are going to be great balls for the better player so uh they’re going to provide different
Characteristics between the two of them Chrome tour golf ball will fit a really wide range of players looking for a little help maybe to take spin out of their game on the full shots but still offering all the spin and control you want around the green uh with a slightly
Softer feel and then in the Chrome tour X is going to be a highest spinning ball across the board uh and is going to provide the most workability and a slightly firmer feel so really between the two of them there’s three key Technologies but they’re really focused
On speed with our new hyper fast soft core uh flight with our new seamless tour Arrow which is going to provide a more consistent aerodynamics um and flight to the ball and then uh Spin and control with our new softer covers so softer covers on both these golf balls which is going to
Provide not only more spin better feel but also a more consistent spin at the same time aome that’s exciting we’re very excited to test it out right now yeah so we’re going to have you go through a speed spin Challenge and we’re going to Showcase uh the product
Performance for you as well Perfect all right cool yeah thank you thank you putting it up against the soon to be number two golf ball and golf um love that so what we’ll do is we’ll have you hit three shots with driver to get your Baseline numbers and then we’ll move
Into Chrome tour X and then we’ll have you hit three shots with the driver and we’ll see what differences we get in ball speed okay um after that we’ll do the same thing but with wedges because it distance is great but it’s not always about distance you need about g a green
Side control um so we’ll hit some wedge shots and we’ll show you the what the softer cover that we put on our golf ball yields in better green side spin solid let me have you hit two more two more nice me good to meet you thank you see you next
Time awesome let me get one more okay thank you What I’ll do I’ll take that one from you and I will give you our Chrome T can I just do a quick intro on this so this is a chrome chrome Tour X Tour X and then prox Pro 4X all right today we’re going to be running the Chrome tour challenge where
We’re going to be trying out the prov1x from Titus and the Chrome tour X from cway so same swing um and I know what it’s going to be I don’t want to give away this solid let me get a couple more yeah let me get let me get uh one
More a mile and a half to two last one that works right so taking the same exact Club head speed we are seeing compared to the VX 139.7 compared to 141 ball speed so what that’s translating to carry down range six yards really doing nothing same swing just from the ball that’s how
Important the golf ball is and that’s doing nothing that’s just adding to your overall distance so you’re now going to be six yards sorry yeah 6 yards closer to the flag which for me at least that’s a club closer yeah and that’s going from a nineiron to a pitch point which should
Be bringing down scores oh so that being said let’s move into the wedge portion okay so what we’ll do is we’ll do the same thing and we’ll have you hit a few wedge shots and we’ll demonstrate what the softer cover of our golf ball does compared to the ties little round
Buum whatever me try and just make as consistent as possible what we’re going to do is we’re going to clean the club face every single time to make sure that it’s being treated equally so the really important thing when testing and comparing spins with golf balls is
Making sure you have clean grooves clean golf ball clean set up every single time so that way again we’re not we have nothing to hide making sure it’s consistent and we’ll see what we uh what we can do for more greens side spin you want me to aim towards the net
Or just as a general G like the the direction or uh straight with the ideal yeah mixed everything and I chose after sweet so now you can give me that shot every single time okay that would be great supposed to be the most consistent shot we have right exactly
Exactly I don’t need to run it you are thank you is it okay yeah yeah go when you’re ready conditions here so nice oh I know right it is uh fantastic can make a great wedge player out of even someone like me great so we’ll do the same thing
CTX swap it out for you and we’ll clean up this Wedge nice take a look at that so any First Impressions on like very okay yeah I really like a lot of good feedback from that nice so what I’m going to do you did ramp up just a little bit it’s all right right there’s nothing wrong with that so
Like if you’re average Carri so what I want to do is I want to Circle back to the Titus golf ball okay just to make sure again everything is treated the same but based on the initial numbers you take out your 75 and you take out your
66 where you get closer in your average numbers we’re still seeing a well over 700 RPMs worth of spin increase oh my good so what I’ll do is I’ll move back to the pro 1X again just to make sure so I’m hitting a bit farther now you are
Hitting a little bit further so yeah with a little bit yeah let’s call it four five um but again just to make sure everything is being treated the same I’ll have you hit that one more time right okay the ti prob one let me get one more and
Uh really solid so you want to take a look those are still really great and very solid struck shots and you’re still trending lower in green side spin so you know that’s your you know 3/4 wedge shot you know where you’re having the Fairway you need to kind of get it into the
Green that stopping power is significantly lower with the competitor compared to the Chrome tourx so what you’re going to get with those you know shortsighted shots that are you know really tight you’re going to get more stopping power and that the ability to one be confident that you know that
Ball’s going to stop where it lands versus you know okay it hits and releases and you may not get up and down which for me it’s more times than not but I using this ball it’s really been phenomenal and it’s it’s given me a confidence that you know
It’s given actually all players the confidence to attack more Flags knowing that that Ball’s going to stop there’s a lot more spin to it for wedges and like chipping correct so that’s the softer cover so everything about the new Chrome tour in Chrome TX has changed the core
The Mantel is that covers the dimple pattern and that softer covers what we’re experiencing with this portion of the test is the higher green side spin compared to that competitor I think it’s kind of crazy because with the driver it’s so hard to get more distance but
Then with the the wedges to have more spin it’s kind of that unicorn ball right so like I can’t get into the super fine details of that because that’s top secret but um it’s it’s something that we are extremely proud of and it took a
Lot of work to do and as you can see we’ve delivered on that we the bigger separation of where we’re delivering more ball speed with a driver and more greenside spin it’s kind of that unicorn golf ball and as you’ve seen from the faster ball speeds and the more greens
Side spin yeah we’re we’re knocking it off yeah no that’s great thank Youk you great this is the pro1x we’re going to do the same thing um step by step so we’re going to hit driver give me one second change over what is this called the chrome chrome the Chrome
Torch it’s kind of mouthful CH chrome chrome tour challenge Okay Chrome tour challenge all right let me get two more swings as long as you have a steady yep all right last one and here you are we’re going to trade that out now we’re doing the Chrome tour
X I’m not going to spoil it for you but not yet first one right out the gate fantastic fastic very let me get one more making it really easy consisten so starting with the club head delivery to make sure again everything is treated simple you’re within a mile hour Club head
Speed and with that we are seeing a jump from 145.47 average ball speed with Crome t x so you do the math that is 3.2 mph and what we’ve seen from that is a four yard at gain in carry distance oh wow so we are same numbers just delivering
Dramatically more ball speed so down the road again you know you’re hit that you’re playing around the golf you’re four yards closer on average you’re and that’s obviously bounce dependent but carry wise four yards That’s not including roll um so that’s going to be closer wedg or shorter Clos into every
Single green which means lower scores overall like I you know we talked about previously you know distance is one thing but you also got to have green so what I want you to do is the same thing what we’re going to do is we’re going to demonstrate how our Sofer covers
Outperform the competition by hitting a 50 yard wedge shot and we’re going to start with pro1x and then we’re going to move into Chrome tourx and see what that gain is from there as well 58 or 56 perfect so that’s the swing I wanted you to give me the entire time you know
So again what we’re trying to do is demonstrate Spin and that’s how we do that is one a consist Club head delivery clean face every single time clean golf ball clean lie every single time fantastic I think we would kill it in a scramble your short game and my distance
Shoot actually we might end up using your drives but your wedge game is fantastic we should play like a tournament I’m all in the whole thing on take a look at this so similar to what we had previously you’re within a mile hour Club head speed deliveries are the same everything being treated
Equal what we’re seeing is a 400 RPM increase in that same shot so you’re within a yard and carry um so the other important thing you want to take note of is you’re going to get a slightly lower launch angle so Spin and uh launch are inversely related so more spin gives you
A lower launch and with that you’re going to get that more piercing kind of tour trajectory and so it’s going to come out a little bit lower but you have confidence to know that that’s going to stop on the green so that extra 400 RPM when you’re short-sided and you have a
Tight pin is going to stop where that ball is going to land a lot better than the vs so that’s really really important when you’re one bombing drives down the Fairway you can now take more aggressive approach towards the flags and say hey like I know that this ball is going to
Stop more so let me be a little bit more aggressive with how I’m going to approach this shot knowing that it’s going to stop a little bit more more reliable exactly way more reliable way more confidence more trust knowing that that’s going to have better stop thank you thank
You that that’s it okay that’s great thank you so [Applause] Much
