Same scuff marks I would expect from any ball honestly. It's still playable but I don't usually play a ball more than 18 holes. I'll keep it as a practice ball for sure though, good to feel the spin characteristics when I'm warming up

That ball looks really good for 27 holes. Thanks for sharing.
 
I wasn't comparing anything today just using this ball exclusively during my practice/lesson. I am simply blown away by how good this ball feels and how fast it is. Yes it was indoors and not on course but according to GC Quad I hit ball speeds today I didn't know I was capable of.

Rumor has it the new mantle is fast.
 
I said it before, but I'm def going to give the CS a shot - I've never played a soft ball (not sure why), but I'm excited to give this one a whirl. CT is still the leader in the clubhouse for me currently though...
I think I'll probably pick up a sleeve of the Chrome Soft this summer out of curiosity also. I feel pretty confident that the Chrome Tour is the ball for me, but I've always played pretty well with the Chrome Soft and I'm curious how it compares to the last version.
 
I let the guy I was playing with today hit a Chrome Tour X off the tee (not the one I was using) and he proceeded to shank it right into the water... I put too much hype on the ball for him. He had driven a ball 255 previously so I wanted to see him get more than that and it didn't end up well. Test: Failed.

My wife plays CT or CS. I wanted her to hit one of my CTTD off the tee but she didnt want to she was too nervous. So when I took our balls out of the hole one hole, I gave her my CTTD. She piped one down the middle with it on the next hole haha

Smart move man, takes all of the pressure off the shot and let her swing free. I didn't know the guy well enough to switch his tee ball, so I did the opposite and oversold it. Whoops.
 
I really can't wait for spring and to get the CTX out on the course.

It's good to be enthusiastic! You get the whole run down then get to see how great it performs for you.

May be one legit reason to ever have a ball retriever in your bag 🤣

I don't think it would have helped in this situation

Tee box is to the right. It is deep in there
 
Have visited a couple retailers hoping they may have something early that I could get my hands on. Struck out at 3 locations.
I want to be part of the increased ball speed club.
 
That's a lot of water. I don't even think I trust my own golf swing that much.

I don't want to say anything positive or negative about Hole 7 for a reason

The robot is going to be an absolute weapon w/ these new balls.
 
How many from other brands are going to give the Chrome Tour lineup a serious chance this year?
 
I plant to again this year give them a go. I really like the performance of last years TD, but hated the cover. There was just not enough durability there. Looking forward to trying them again.

Just remember, the TD wasn’t updated. But for what it’s worth, I didn’t see much durability issue with TD last year when I tried it.
 
I am checking the weather daily hoping for some sort of change so I can get out and play this ball.
 
Okay. One ball has easily 250 sim shots on it, as well as a full shot, chip, and putt from Clive 18. And the other is new.

I love that last image. Can you find a seam? I can’t.
That ball is in great shape for that many shots. I hit plenty of stuff and never ever saw a big cut on any of the test balls. I thought they held us well.
