So what’s the difference between Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X and which might suit your game the best? Should you be switching from one to the other?
We spoke to Callaway’s director of golf balls Jason Finley to find out everything you need to know.
Why did you feel the need to introduce the Chrome Soft X?
We wanted to build on the success of the Chrome Soft franchise. There were some people that didn’t love Chrome Soft so we wanted to have another option so there was a ball for everybody.
What will be the key difference people will notice?
The X should be a little firmer feeling – some people don’t like a really soft ball.
The X offers a different ball flight as you go through the bag. You should get more spin and more workability with the X.
How does the X sit with Callaway tour players?
Chrome Soft X is our most popular ball now for tour players. We’ve had it out on tour for well over a year now. We had a few players switching from the Chrome Soft to Chrome Soft X.
We have a few plays that may switch depending on the week and which golf course they are playing.
