The year of the golf ball? While it may not seem as exciting as the year of the driver, 2024 has proven to be significant for Callaway in the golf ball market. With the launch of the Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X, Callaway has not only maintained its momentum in the premium golf ball category but also achieved a record market share of 22.2% in July, their highest to date. Their success extended beyond sales, they also secured three major tournament victories on the PGA and LPGA tours. Now, Callaway aims to build on this momentum with the introduction of a new addition to the Chrome Tour lineup, the all-new Chrome Tour Triple Diamond.

Fans of Callaway products will be familiar with the Triple Diamond name, which has been associated with drivers and metalwoods for quite some time. Typically, this designation indicates that the product is the lowest-spinning and most tour-worthy option in the line.Â
In the case of the golf ball, the name continues this trend by targeting a small segment of golfers. Simply put, the Triple Diamond is a lower-spinning version of the Chrome Tour X. This golf ball is designed for players who seek speed, prefer a firmer feel, and want to reduce spin.

Chrome Tour Triple Diamond
Features & Benefits
As part of the Chrome Tour lineup, the Triple Diamond features innovative technologies, including the Hyper Fast Soft Core, which has been optimized to provide a firmer feel. Additionally, a new Seamless Tour Aero cover enhances the ball’s flight characteristics, resulting in a more penetrating trajectory. This combination of the cover and low spin properties contributes to a more stable and consistent ball flight, especially when hitting into the wind.

While the ball excels in low-spin performance during full swings, it still utilizes a urethane cover to ensure optimal performance and spin around the greens. Below is a quick chart illustrating how the Triple Diamond compares to the Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X within the lineup.

When Callaway launched the Chrome Tour lineup, they touted it as the new gold standard for tour performance golf balls. With the recent addition of the Triple Diamond, they believe they have enhanced the Chrome Tour line even further.
The Details
The Triple Diamond will be available in white and white with their Triple Track alignment aid. Those looking at add these to the bag will be able to on January 31, 2025, for $54.99.

You will not find a ball with more distance. The issue is spin on irons can dip a bit so if you need something to spin there you might find issues holding the greens in peak summer conditions

That’s a knuckle ball on the course and will definitely affect flight. And if it’s not effecting your score you’re probably not keeping a legit cap
Oh without a doubt. Like I said, I haven't had a golf ball get to this point in normal use
This is what I encounter. One hit, new ball.
I think the cover might be a little thin.
Durability has not been an issue for me. I expect a ball to get scratched up when I hit a tree or cart path.
I played 18 today with no complaints about durability. Don’t get me wrong, this is a serious ball.

[/QUOTE]
That was your first swing with that ball? I need to pay attention because I don’t usually see that sort of wear on a wedge shot. Only after hitting a cart path or rock or something like that.
I have the luxury of getting the course to myself. Today, I played it right beside my trusty prov1x.
Everything from tee to green is Everything! one could ask for.
It just doesn’t create the spin I need for my aggressive short game. If I played just with the td, I would get used to it. If I’m inside 120, trying to stick it close, I don’t get the same action that I can trust. Granted my tolerances are probably different than others.
Note: I have been a prov1x player for a decade.
It’s a great ball, it just doesn’t stop like I want.

The cart path club
I definitely love the CTTD for the low spin off the tee and consistently mid spin with irons. I can usually hold greens even firm. St. John’s G&CC in FL was one of the first (even the Hideaway) I had to aim for the front of greens to account for roll out. I did stick a few with wedges. I just created a ton of speed to try and hold them.
They generally wear normally for me. Now one thing is that today at Stillwater in Florida I didn’t lose many in the water, but I had to pull a ton for wear from the waste area/cart paths that seem to be white gravel of some sort. The corridors are super wide. Like you could land a couple airplanes side by side, but there are spots where the fairway narrows and my balls wound up in this place a couple times and scraped up pretty good.

While I am a fanboy, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. All I am saying, the wear on that ball you posted on Monday is unlike ANY wear I’ve seen on ANYBODY’S on a single wedge strike.
I’m not accusing you of anything, but in my experience that wear is not from a club.

I’ll post pictures once I get moving but I played 45 holes with the same ball and it’s going to be played again.
Can anyone talk about how the CTTD compare vs the 2026 Left Dash?
Which was lower spin off the tee? Better grab around the greens? I kind of assume the left dash is the firmer ball but I have only used the previous gen version to make that assumption.
I’m a decent swing speed (D 117-120) and play off low single figures with a high ball flight at a really windy course – so just looking at best options now the ball stocks are running down!

I haven’t tried the newest Left Dash but against 2024 Left Dash, CTTD was pretty much the same flight and spin profile, just didn’t feel as much like a rock.
I’ve been impressed with the TD overall – but today in the sim the durability was really highlighted.
When I go into my speed training sessions, I end up using a few TDs and I’ve thrown in the Bridgestone Black Proto as well. I probably have 50% less shots with the Bridgestone, but the very first swing today it cracked. The TD kept on trucking and I finished my session with no issues. It’s pretty impressive how well they hold up!
Price drop on these. Not sure if it’s limited time or not. I notice they added ’25 to the description now, so hmm……..

this is a weak spot with these, they seem to have a coating on the outer core that is very prone to wedge and turf 9even) scratching…it is definitely one of the least durable of the premium offerings, but I love this ball, it suits my game incredibly well
I’m still working through my stash from last year, and happy that I’m not losing them at the pace I used to- thank goodness. The CT TD is still outperforming my expectations, and helps lowering spin on my irons and driver like I need.
With some swing corrections I don’t think I’m cutting across the ball like I have in the past so there’s a chance that I’m going to end up moving into CT- but for now the CT TD is peforming!

Same here man. My driver swing is a solid 600-700 RPM less than this time last year. I’ll be working through the stash of these balls, and will likely be going Chrome Soft after.
This ball truly does reduce spin to a manageable level, and it is still the hottest ball I have teed up. It will always get play in a scramble for me.

You are speaking my experience right now lol with an over the top move, these were the savior and I couldnt keep the CT in play. Now through some instruction, the CT is probably a better fit, if not the CTX. I will forever be thankful for the TD haha

Yeah I really need to get myself to a sim to see some numbers, but wanted to wait till we got a little further into the season. Only a couple of rounds under my belt this year so far (one 18, one 9) so it’s still early, but ball flight and feel makes me think the OTT isn’t as pronounced as it once was.
I inadvertently played the CTTD balls on yesterdays round. I thought I had a couple of Chrome Soft sleeves, but had my bags mixed up in my mind. Regardless, it was a good time to revisit these. I had fears that these would not be a playable ball for me after some swing changes, but that was not to be. I had one of my better rounds in the last two years.
The ball was still long off the tee with driver, and I had some of my best fairway wood distance days with the Elyte Ti 5W, averaging 228 for the 5W. I don’t have any real feel for spin on course, but it seemed to do fine in the 20 mph wind gusts that were prevalent.
The approach shots check up nicely, and I almost holed out a 110 approach shot that hit and dropped immediately 2 feet from the pin.
The durability was great too. I hit a cart path early on and scuffed the ball right on the alignment logo. I played it for 12 more holes until it found water on one of the longest drives of the day, going long through the fairway.
I’m not sure I will be restocking these this year, as my swing now can get along with the CT or CS better (I think), but I will have no problem playing these until the stash is used up.
If you need a ball to cut some driver spin, this is it.
The 2026 on May 11th. Little more greenside spin seems to have been addressed. Thicker material on the mantle. Maybe someone agreed?

[QUOTE=”OldandStiff, post: 12856057, member: 53737″]
🔥 This is another one I’ve been waiting on!!
I’ve had these in play for a while. Long enough to have some decent course time, and it’s been very interesting. I was a big CSX LS guy. Loved the firm feel and slightly lower spin through part of the bag. So I was immediately curious about these. I have a bunch of data I can share later, but it’s definitely a little different than their other two tour offerings and I think some Callaway ball people will really appreciate that.
They had said they were going after Left Dash with this one and they have a comparison chart where the box is literally covering that ball up. 😆 I’m sure they’ll steal a few of those players.
[ATTACH type=”full” alt=”1000095399.jpg”]9319311[/ATTACH]
Here’s one comparing theirs, but I think the medium-fitm description is pretty liberal. It’s a firm ball. You absolutely know when you switch to it from the X.
It’s been quick and mostly doing what they said it would. Some separation on wedge stuff that everyone will have to decide on for their own games.
Exciting stuff though. Callaway keeps bringing it!

I really like the X. Haven’t played them much but it works well for me. Lotsa spin.
