Callaway’s approach to golf ball design has increasingly centered on data, manufacturing precision, and real-world performance. Rather than chasing distance at the expense of feel or control, the company has focused on tightening dispersion, improving consistency, and delivering innovative ways to gain speed through new materials. The 2026 Chrome Tour golf balls build directly on […]

Let's go
 
About to dive into this article!
 
It has arrived people 😁
 
This has my full attention
 
Finally!! These are sooo good!
 
So I’ve hit all 3 of the new balls on sim and in play and I’m gonna tell you the CT X is an all around BEAST.
 
Going have to put the 26 CTX against the current CTTD!

The description sounds like just what I need as I'm working to flight short irons and wedges lower.
 
Going to the sim in 2 hours to get some initial #s. Please hit us with questions.
 
Hard to imagine this ball is even better than the original but somehow it is. It might be the perfect ball. I had the Chrome Tour X in play last week. It's long of the tee and around the greens gives me everything I want and need.
 
I've been waiting for this one. If they made the Chrome Tour better. :oops: Can't wait to see what the Grandaddy guys say!
 
So many releases today! Excited to try these out after all the vague statements from the Grandaddy crew!

I had 157 ball speed off a 5w with it yesterday! In the A/B testing with driver I was 4 mph faster on controlled and full out swings!

The spin numbers off the wedges and scoring irons is crazy with the X!

For now I want to see #s comparing the previous version and this one in any of the flavors
 
The Seamless Tour Aero is huge. The consistency I’ve found already with these is very very good.
And that’s just in the way they make the ball, not to mention the new Tour Fast Mantle!

This ball is not only be a game changer but is going to dominate.

Anyone not playing this ball on tour either isn’t testing balls or is paid to play a certain ball exclusively and can’t afford to change.
 
Chrome soft is very interesting with a 4 piece design this cycle. Was it not 3 piece on the last release?

Also reducing long game spin and adding spin on the short game for the X makes it a must try

That is the plan and hey, by the way, we weren't being vague. We told you guys all about the ball.... under our breath. But let me know if you have any questions, and I got you 👊🏽

Durability is another huge point to bring up! These leave marks on the SP wedges but no noticeable scuffing or chewing on the cover that I can find.
 
Not all the way through, but did I read they made Chrome Tour faster? Good god

It’s soooooo good for both!

It's better. Way better.

Callaway is very confident that the performance of this golf ball will change standards in performance. More efficient transfer of swing speed into ball speed. Getting the ball faster, while also allowing for control into greens.

Also, the cover is very durable
 
Callaway makes a hell of a ball.
Definitely going to pick up a box of CT
For science...
This is the type of science the world needs more of 👊🏽
