Callaway Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft Golf Balls

SuperStroke
Played last weekend in some pretty strong winds here in MA. They were 15-20 and gusting higher. The front 9 was either with or against the wind. The back 9 had some crosswinds. I have my Arccos calculating the wind with club selection. I was about one club longer than the Arccos rec into the wind (which was about one club shorter than my normal in calm conditions). Case in point, I was going into the wind on a par 3, 147 to the pin. Normally I hit a 9 iron but decided to hit 8 and it flew the green.

The crosswinds didn't seem to bother the ball much, maybe a touch shorter. I only was hitting full high shots with my driver, so I can't say how my high fade with hold up with irons into the wind.
 
I'll be putting these in play at a local course Sunday morning so I should be able to provide some feedback on a familiar track
 
I'm committed to a TT or a line on a ball but still need to learn to trust the line. I tend to adjust when standing over the ball.

I've also recently played both the CT and CTX. I really could go either way and be happy. At some level that makes me want to play the CTX. I'm not losing anything with ball striking, and the bit of extra greenside spin can be helpful. Once I run through the first dozen CT, I will pick up a dozen of CTX.

If I’m over the ball and feel It’s not aligned where I want it, I step back and adjust the ball, or make sure it’s aligned where I want it. Then commit. You lose so much of the value of using a line if you don’t trust it.

That is about how I am between CS and CT. I can really play either one and there are things I like about both of them.
 
All 18 today with the same Chrome Tour. I really like the ball but it seems like I’m leaving some distance on the table still. Could be the weather and the early season so I’ll finish out the rest of the box before trying the CTX

Totally me with the CS and CT. I committed to the CSTT on a B3G4 deal, but could just as easily gone CT.

I played the CSTT today, 15-20 mph winds most of the round. I think the CS is a really good ball in the wind, it cuts through without ballooning and doesn't get blown around as much as some others I've played. I went up 2 clubs on a par 3 tee shot straight into the wind and was surprised when I ended up over the back of the green, the ball cut through the wind a little better than I expected it to!
 
As previously mentioned I’m not a huge fan of a lot on my golf balls so I tend to stay away from the triple track balls. When I went into buy this last dozen to play some more with there were 0 Tru Track options in white and only 1 solid White ball which I grabbed lol. There were a lot of the Triple Track balls left though at our PGA Super Store.
 
I finally got to play outdoors with these balls for a couple of rounds.

Was very impressed with the CTx feel with irons and putter. This was basically what i was worried about as normally i'm not a huge fan of the feel of X balls. I have forged irons, and the CTx is pretty sweet off the face. Certainly no problems

Off the putter, also pretty nice.

I hit a couple of monster drives today that were pretty towering , and a couple of 7 irons that i feel also had a very nice trajectory. So far i'm really liking this ball in the real world

I have a box of BX, CT and CTX to test against my trusted Pro V1x. In my mind, I believe CTX will be the only ball that will rival V1x. The new aero package really has my interest since I’m never playing in still conditions.

I've only played a couple of rounds now, but i think you may prefer the feel of the CTx over the ProV1x....i was pretty impressed

Especially off the putter

I'm gonna play a full round with B-XS tomorrow. I was a tester of that ball too.

Give your local places some feedback on that. A lot of ordering is based on some screwy numbers and sometimes the only way they change is with some customer input.
 
Hit the PGASS up today and they still had a few packs of the buy 3 get 1 in the CTX TT. I snagged another should be set for a while now.

I went back yesterday and they had the full offering. May have just been a timing thing when I stopped by the first time.
 
CT in play today

Look forward to giving the CT some action this week.

I usually play with a softer ball, as @KY Golfer can attest to in alternate shot. But liked the firmer feel of his ProV1 as well. Gonna give the WWGC CT’s the start on Friday and Sunday.
 
I'll put the Chrome Tour straight into play tomorrow. I'll play rounds with all three in the coming weeks to get a feel for them on the course conditions.
 
18 today with the CT in pretty breezy conditions. The ball did great. I really like the feel off the face. Especially with the putter
 
Some really firm greens that will be aerated on Tuesday weren't the most receptive but I was able to hold greens nicely with some fairly long shots. So much to love about this ball. I gave a sleeve to the guys to split and try out... Doing the good work. :cool:
 
Ordered a dozen CT USA TruTrack. Will be my first look at TruTrack, probably gaming them at Ballyhack
 
Played 18 Saturday with CT and this ball continues to just be ridiculous for me. The action I get on the ball has been off the charts good. Course I played had 5 Par 3s and 3 Par 5s and man did I take advantage of the par 3s. 2 birdies 3 pars and 1 very very close to HIO… Downhill tee shot playing 140, hit a full PW about 15’ right over the flag. Green was 2 tier and hit the up slope and spun it back and right over the hole… hit the cup and popped straight up and stopped about 1’ away. The ball is just soooo good and feels amazing!
