A couple of weeks ago, we had Jason Finley on THP Live talking about a new THP Experience coming this year called the Grandmama. A spin off of the Grandaddy of em All and we are super excited for what some members of this forum will get to experience.
It is an all expenses paid trip of a lifetime.
What’s Included
Airfare
Hotels
Club Fitting at ECPC
Full bag of clubs
Tour Callaway
Meet R&D
Play Golf with members of the team there
And so much more
At the Grandaddy each year, 12 lucky THPers experience something special, but it comes with a job of reviewing their equipment to the masses through the THP Forum once it is released. This year, there are only 4, but they will be doing the job of 12, so we are looking for the committed. The person that loves to talk about this game, the equipment and share his honest assessment of everything they learn through content and reviews.
To up the stakes, Emmy Winning Producer, Jeff Neubarth, has informed us that you will have the Callaway Media Productions crew to assist in that creation. Be it audio recording or editing, all of the pictures taken you want done and even video production and editing. That’s right, if you have a vision, but lack the equipment or knowledge to make it come to life, no problem.
Your job, if you choose to accept it will be to follow the instructions in each contest that comes up and show you are ready to review. Remember there are 4 THPers heading to the Grandmama, and each contest will award someone the full trip.
Qualifying
You must be a 2020 Albatross Club Member to enter. The club is open to anybody and helps benefit a wonderful charity. All of the details and benefits are here.
The Contest
Golf balls are always a hot topic on the THP Forum and this year the Callaway Chrome Soft is ridiculously good based on the reviews of forum members. We know not everybody has tried it however, but they have played golf in the past and we hope they can discuss golf balls. This contest is all about you reviewing a golf ball.
How to Enter
Tell us in 100 words or less, about your golf ball, in a way that promotes engagement, thoughts and questions from other THPers.
Good luck everybody. This contest will remain open for about a week.
The legendary original Kirkland Signature 4pc came into our lives & then got shut down & sold out faster than candybars smuggled into fat camp. Great distance & superb greenside spin, but was it really a tour level ball with a budget ball price? Many argue yes, as some tests showed equal performance to Titleist’s offerings. The next 2 iterations fell short, with 2019’s version being quite terrible. 1 round could take a dozen, not because they ended up in the woods or drink, but because a wedge shot would rip the cover. Will Kirkland ever make another quality 4pc?

always been a titleist pro-v guy but one day i ended up hitting my ball in the rough and couldn’t find it but i did find a Callaway Chrome Soft ball. i have heard of them but have never tried them. so i figured i would give it a shot. and was i surprised. it was weird….it felt softer then the pro-v but it seem to go longer and feel better off the club. i have been hooked since and that is all i play now. i love the edition of the triple-track lines.
Are you getting the most out of your golf ball? I’ve been playing the Chrome Soft X with Triple Track Technology. Its longer than others off the tee for me and still has that green side spin for pitches and chips. I’ve also found the Triple Track to be easier to line up for putting. What about the ball you’re using do you like the most? Is it an all-around performer, or do you look for one attribute more than another? Let’s talk about what you’re using and why it works for you.

Hitting it long off the tee with ball speed to spare, I’m for bombing with a fairway stare!

Watching my Stars and Stripes spin is no phony, I’m just a one-hop and stop pony.

Whether I hit a tree, path, or a rock underneath, my cover stays smoother than Jordan Spieth.
Just off the green or in sand, I always pass the test after I land.
It’s Vernier Hyper Acuity or TT to you mortals; I am here to make birdies. Line me up and I disappear into flagship portals!

I Hit It. Hit it. Hit it Hard!
As a high handicapper, I didn’t think my choice of ball would make a difference. Then I discovered THP and participated in a couple of Bridgestone events. My eyes were opened when I found out that a better ball would help my game. Then I won a contest to test some Srixon Q-Star Tour balls. Again, I found that a good ball would help me with distance and control. This week, I will be testing Callaway’s Chrome Soft Triple Track balls and I expect them to perform as well. So, it is true. My balls do help improve my game.
Being a high HC & not really taking the game serious until last year, I have always played what I found or was cheap. Yes I did find that I hit some balls better then others but the way I would loose them it really didn’t matter & I’m still striving to play a full 18 with 1 ball. Now that I’ve been learning so much here @ THP, along with working on my game & have been lucky enough to have other THP’ers send me some better balls to tr, I’ve been playing & trying to pay more attention to what fits me best.
Tell me how your ball flies off the tee.
Tell me how you ball feels around the green.
What if I told you my ball will take your ball to a whole new level? Would I have your attention?
Good. Now that I do. This ball will give you all the good feels around the green, your wife/SO will be jealous. Long? Yes, it can go long and give you consistency, off the tee, with the thinner poly outer layer . Last note: get yellow, if you’re like me…in the woods. It helps in finding them. Thanks!
We will let this one run until Thursday.
been playing a cut blue for my last 28 holes…I am pretty happy with it at $19 a dozen…still have plenty of Soft Feels, QSTs and Z-Stars but I can see this dozen prolonging their existence on the shelf.
I haven’t tried the Blues yet. I may try a dozen next time I order….
we were at Target and I saw them (the last dozen they had) and some Vice Pro + ($35)…my wallet decided the $19 was the way to go.
I got a dozen Vice Distance for Xmas…and was not a fan of that ball.
I tried the matte red Cuts a while back and wasn’t a fan…surprisingly, since they are lower comp than the blues.

This is my golf ball; a phenomenal culmination of technology, research, performance, and passion. I love the look, with its glorious red maple leaf emblazoned in the Truvis pattern. The sound off an iron is a purposeful cacophony. A crushing blow from a driver results in a feeling of pure bliss.
Golf balls come in many varieties; each steeped in history. This one is mine, and it’s future will be shaped with my play. How will you shape yours?
I guess I should just withdraw my entry… haha. That was awesome.
well that’s kinda bid news..
Nice nice nice!!! Represent!!!
I’ll begin by saying that I was not a fan of the previous iterations of Chrome Soft. However, the 4-piece 2020 CS suits me better. It feels a bit firmer than the last and any distance I lost off the tee (minimal), I could make up for with longer and more accurate iron shots.
I’ve always considered myself a ‘good aim’ with the putter, but the Triple Track just takes away any self-doubt and allows me to focus on the strike and distance. I just have one recommendation for @JasonFinleyCG and his design team…

That was amazing! No need for help from Neubarth or CMP, you got this covered!
Really really well done!
Posting to get it back to the top, lets get more entries in!!
Did you notice any similarities between the Pro Plus and the ProV1? They have felt the same to me from using them in the past
No offense to anyone else, but I hope its me.
I thought they were pretty different when I played them. Mostly in the irons and wedges where the pro+ spun a whole lot less than the prov. Pro+ was a beast off the tee, reminded me most of zstar xv
It would be a huge honor for sure.
The Pro V1x prior to 2017 was a great fit for me. When Titleist in 2017 switched their ball characteristics I was lost in limbo between the Pro V1 and V1x. That was the case until the relatively recent release of the Pro v1x Left Dash, which is very close to the old Pro V1x profile (prior to 2017). THe -Pro V1x (left dash) is a High Launch/Low Spin ball, with a sightly firmer feel. I have found this ball to be a solid fit to my swing profile (Lower launching/higher spinning). Titleist has filled the gap between the regular and X with this ball.
Dude, i need a trip, yeah, i know its in December Time Frame, but i been crazy at work…..
I think we all could use this after all this covid bs & especially for those that have not been able to get out & have their short seasons shortened more.
