Golf is such a fantastic sport it’s hard to say which aspect of the game stands out as the best.

Ask your golfing buddies the next time you see them and you’re guaranteed to get a whole diverse range of answers.

Lots of golfers feel a huge sense of satisfaction when jotting down a low number on the scorecard while others prefer just to head out and play. Some love smashing a drive down the middle whereas others enjoy pulling off the miraculous Seve escape.

Today we want to put you in mind of some of the best feelings that come to us on the golf course, as well as give you an excellent suggestion of how to experience these sensations more often.

 

Moments that stay with us

We all have that one tee shot on the course that sticks in our heads more than others. Maybe the distance to where you’d like to land your ball is just between clubs or you’re prone to finding the same hazard. However, when you shape your tee shot just as you wanted and it comes to rest where you’d like, it feels like the stars have aligned just for your tee shot.

The same great sensation is awaiting us when our approach shot is in a great location. We can sense an excellent opportunity to land it close to the flag, and when you strike through the ball and watch your shot come down just where you were hoping it would, it feels electric.

Naturally most fist-pump moments in golf are reserved for the greens, it is where the game is won or lost after all. Your playing partner might have secured par with a sensible 2-putt, but you’ve got just the right line to sink a 10-footer for birdie. Your eyes lock on the ball the entire way you send it to the back of the cup. Is there anything better than an honest winning feeling?

All these moments are phenomenal and pleasant memories to look back on, and here’s how the latest Callaway golf balls have been crafted to help you live them time and again.

 

The NEW Callaway golf balls

We’ve got a fantastic video for you today that will help you determine which of the balls in the Chrome family range would be best for you. Do you prioritise a soft feel and go with the Chrome Soft? Or are you looking for more distance and be better suited to the Chrome Tour X?

As the name implies, the Chrome Soft golf ball is the softest feeling ball in the range. The Chrome Soft offers a higher launch and more control around the greens, making it ideal for players wanting to brush up on their short game. Callaway has given this ball a unique urethane cover than makes it stop quickly on the greens, giving you more control when striking onto the putting surface.

The Chrome Tour has a firmer yet more responsive feel that makes it feel incredible balanced. This ball is the exceptional choice if you’re seeking a consistent performance from tee to green. The Tour Fast Mantle generates excellent distance, and the Tour Aero dimple design promotes a higher ball flight. You can’t really go wrong with this ball, it flies well, goes far, but also will be receptive to delicate touches around the greens.

The Chrome Tour X is the perfect choice for competitive performance. Just like the Chrome Tour, the X model has the industry-first Tour Fast Mantle that provides excellent distance, but this ball has a firmer feel, allowing high speed swing players to utilize the low driver spin for more control off the tee. Simply put, if you know exactly how you want to shape your shots on the course, this ball will make them happen.
