Callaway Chrome Soft Golf Balls 2020

Product Information

This latest iteration of Callaway’s flagship ball is a three-piece construction as opposed to the four-piece of previous models. This may sound like a regression but, owing to the new materials and improved construction methodology, Callaway assures us that it’s anything but. A new Hyper Elastic SoftFast Core has been engineered to deliver more distance and forgiveness without sacrificing on the soft feel that has made the Chrome Soft a ‘go to’ for so many golfers. 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.” Our slower swinger got results in line with other soft balls, such as the Maxfli Revolution Low Spin and Srixon Soft Feel. We'll call it a win-win. It’s too soon to say but Callaway may have created its first legitimate tour-level retail ball in quite some time. If the market approves and the split moves closer to 60/40, you may see some special-edition Truvis models in the future. None of the balls in our 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft sample exceeded the USGA weight limit of 1.620 ounces.

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. Actually useful sample size is highly dependant on the shape of the probability curve. Manufacturers would (and golfers should!) expect the curve to be HUGELY skewed to the “pass” category. This is far from a normal distribution, this tightens the actual deviations. Which is why 36 balls is statistically significant, to a relatively tight confidence interval. e.g. more like 12-22% bad with 95% confidence Tom – The article clearly states “11% of the balls have variations and performance implications should be a CONCERN”.The World No.2 has chosen to begin his 2024 schedule by playing the inaugural Dubai Invitational on the DP World Tour For Callaway, and the Chrome Soft line in particular, concentricity is where the (synthetic) rubber meets the road. It has been the primary point of emphasis for the current generation of Chrome Soft, and I’m happy to report that we found no notable issues within the sample. Core Consistency

Again awesome report. I have been reading it over and another question popped up. In the comments you mentioned that ball can bad for multiple reasons (poor cover and off center for example). I look forward to seeing the whole database. Based on the vidcast last month, I knew the testing was ongoing, Have you completed all of the testing at this point? Are you just working on the individual write-ups, or are there still more brands remaining to be tested? rights; a consumer may have other rights depending upon where he or she lives. Some jurisdictions do 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?Ball notes: Callaway made quite a splash when launching its newest golf ball in late 2014. “Chrome Soft,” the company proclaimed, “is going to change the golf ball category.” On a good day, Callaway will carry out over 400,000 X-rays, allowing the brand to hit new heights of consistency and quality control. Our visual inspection found reasons for concern around core centering and layer concentricity, though these areas appear to have improved significantly from the previous model. It is notable that we found cores in two distinct colors (dark and light gray). Typically, we would expect cores of the same model to be the same color. That said, we found no quantifiable differences between the two colors in our measurements. Cover

In robot testing at 120 MPH club speed, Callaway found the new ball to be 7 yards longer. As with CS, a portion of that comes from process improvements. “Part of that is that this ball is ready good,” says Toulon, “but part of it is that the ball it replaced wasn’t.” They also come with a new Tour Aero cover which is said to optimize the flight of the ball. These are small but important refinements for this new model. The Chrome Soft X LS made quite an impact when it was launched in 2021, proving to be a real bomber’s option and a great fit for players who want less spin. For 2022, Callaway wanted to make it faster off the driver and provide more greenside spin.

New Dual-Core manufacturing cells have been spun-up to resolve core-centering issues while improving the consistency of the baking process. Think of them as industrial ovens filled with the most precise muffin tins imaginable. Robotic arms help move things around more efficiently. 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 For Callaway, however, the number of staffers playing the retail ball has invariably been closer to 0 than 100%. Phil, Xander, Sergio. Nope, nope, nope. Absolutely gutted that the ball I’ve played for since it came out – the Chrome Soft X Truvis (White with Red) is no longer going to be made. Why???

Regarding the math to get to our bad ball percentage and ultimately the True Price metric, we note each issue individually, so if you can imagine a sample set that’s good with the exception of a single really bad ball… 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. There are three balls in the new Callaway family: the Chrome Soft, Chrome Soft X and the Chrome Soft X LS.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.
