What will be interesting is to see how these work out in cooler temps, the see how they react in "normal" conditions. Price Point is such that if they're as good as everyone says. It could be a 12 month ball.

When I get some CS, I'll post my results.I would love to see measurable spin rates off the driver between CS vs SS.
Sorry if either of these questions have already been answered in this thread and I just missed them trying to read over the 14 pages....
1. How do these compare to the FG Tour ball? Are they as soft or softer?
2. I currently play the Titleist NXT Tour S. How do these compare to those?

Awesome JB. Is there any way you could get comparative numbers on FG Tour too, assuming you are bringing the monitor out to compare CS and SS?I struggled with durability of the FG Tour ball so did not use it after a couple of rounds.
THe NXT Tour S is not even in the same league as it has a surlyn cover.
Despite what is being marketed, the NXT Tour S is closer to balls like the Q-Star, e6, etc than it is anything with a urethane cover.

Driver spin, launch, carry and total distance. I have a slowish swing speed and get too much backspin with my driver. FG Tour just plays longer for me than do harder tour balls like PV1, and performs just as well (if not better) around the greens. Chrome Soft looks to be a similar compression and construction, and at a better price point. I am just hoping to get some objective preseason comparisons from those who were able to get their hands on some CS before they release to the rest of us.I dont have any FG Tour balls. If anybody has some, I would be happy to.
Not sure what kind of numbers you were looking for though. The SS vs CS was asked because of driver spin with one being urethane and one being surlyn.

I can't tell you how curious I am to get the Chrome SS on a launch monitor and see some numbers. What we've been taught about compression tells me these should not be ideal for me, but some guys with serious juice at the Grandaddy were raving about these so I'm very intrigued to say the least.
I've played both the CS and FG tour extensively. I think the overall softness is similar but to me the FG felt a little bit mushy where the CS seems to have a bit more snap after compressing. The FG lined up with the ProV1 for me where the CS was a little softer, straighter, more durable version of the Chrome +.Sorry if either of these questions have already been answered in this thread and I just missed them trying to read over the 14 pages....

My SS is usually 110-115mph and I'm in love with these golf balls. This ball will feel like you shot it out of a cannon.I would love to get your feedback. I think you will be shocked how will they work even with your crazy fast SS.

Yeah you get after the ball and it worked really well for you. Then it worked for so many others with slower speeds. Pretty impressive.
I agree. The odd side effect is that Callaway may have just beat Titleist to the finish line of their own marketing pitch. A true ball for everyone.And it worked really well for numerous high SS players during the #Grandaddy.
No doubt this covers a very large spectrum.
