Our Analysis

✅ Exceptional Distance: One of the standout features of the Chrome Soft is its Hyper Elastic Core, with its ability to deliver impressive distance off the tee. During testing, the Chrome Soft demonstrated low spin and impressive distance when compared to alternative balls of similar price. The Chrome Soft is perfect for players who are seeking a few more yards off the tee without having to compromise on a soft feel.

✅ Excellent Soft Feel: The Chrome Soft is renowned for its remarkable touch on and around the greens, a quality that was certainly observed during our testing. In our evaluation, we spent some time initially executing shorter chips before getting further away from the green with some longer wedge shots. The impressive feel was consistently evident throughout the entire process, especially with the smaller chips, where we felt the Chrome Soft displayed excellent levels of spin and control.

✅ Solid in Windy Conditions: You might’ve noticed from our initial pros and cons table that we felt as though ‘low spinning shorter irons’ was a drawback of the Chrome Soft. Despite this, in windier conditions during testing, it was certainly an advantage to see the ball coming out with lower spin. Into a cross-wind, or when the wind was against, it certainly seemed as if the ball was much less effected by the wind.

❌ Low Spinning Shorter Irons:
It’s worth noting that low spin isn’t necessary a drawback. In fact, Callaway boasts ‘lower spinning irons’ as a key feature of this ball. This attribute was particularly evident with longer irons during testing, where additional observed yardage was observed. Nevertheless, with shorter irons, there were instances where the ball felt somewhat ‘dead,’ lacking ideal spin, which may be less desirable, especially with a wedge or 9 iron in hand.

Comments to Add

Beyond the performance attributes of the Chrome Soft, it’s noteworthy that, similarly to other Callaway golf balls, a range of colours, as well as the option for personalised text is available on the Callaway website. Moreover, the Chrome Soft is available with Triple Track lines, which aligns nicely with various Callaway putters.

As previously mentioned, the Chrome Soft stands as Callaway’s premium ball. Similarly, to the Titleist Pro V1 and TaylorMade TP5, the Chrome Soft also comes with an ‘X’ counterpart. The Chrome Soft X is aimed more at faster swinging players.
