Picture this: You’re at the pro shop trying to decide between Callaway’s Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X balls. They’re both sitting on the shelf, priced the same at $50, but you’re stuck wondering which option is right for you. Well, let’s go to the tape and find the answer.
The Chrome Soft — the softer of the two — has a Dual SoftFast Core that’s 34 percent larger than its predecessor, and it’s designed to help the ball fly with high launch and low spin for more distance. The outer core is reinforced with graphene to help add wedge spin and durability.
The Chrome Soft X, on the other hand, has a Dual Mantle System that’s designed for explosive, low-spin distance on longer shots and greater control with more spin on shorter shots.
If you’re searching for a soft feel, consistency, overall performance and distance, then go with Chrome Soft. If you’re a higher speed player who wants high ball speeds, increased workability and a slightly firmer feel, then the Chrome Soft X is for you.
Regardless of your choice, there’s a bonus: Both premium offerings are available with the Callaway’s innovative Triple Track alignment system.
