You can get the hex black from clubhouse golf for £20 a dozen! Bargain for a 5 piece!!!!

Anyone remember the Callaway Rule 35? Didn't Callaway say "the only ball you'll ever need"? or something like that?

i ask this as a serious question as i suppose the old saying "you get what you pay for" comes in to play, my last 3 rounds have produced 40, 38 and 38 points respectively, using either a CXR Power or Srixon AD333 ball (not sure which per round but that whats in my bag), now i know ability is key of course, but playing as an 18 handicapper, do you think that a more expensive ball, say, a chrome soft, would make that much difference ? I can understand it for a single figure handicapper like yourself, but not sure about a mid to high handicapper ?

In winter none at all.

In dry weather, possibly depending on your short game and wedge ability. If you use premium wedges and you practice with these a lot, you might notice the difference with premium balls, but if you're using standard wedges that match your set, probably not.

To be honest, there are probably many more variables in your game if you're playing off 18.

I'd go along with this.
The better spin and feel only really helps if you have the ability to take advantage of them.
Softer balls feel better off the putter but that's a matter of taste.

Here is the link....
I guess it's just because it's an older model. I like them. Some people find them a bit clicky....

Indeed. So , in your experience, and that of other lower handicaps, where in terms of ability do you feel that a ball may make a difference ? I'm not trying to be difficult here by the way, just interested in others opinions as they've been where i currently am.

I can't put a number on it, but basically the ball will make more difference as your short game gets better.

I love discussions about golf balls as basically from any one manufacturer I don't know what's good and what's rubbish. And so after my most recent excursion in the the gorse bushes - a simple Yes/No on the following Callaway balls (for a 6-10 handicap golfer such as I who hasn't a clue about his clubhead speed, launch angle but who has been told he has 'fast hands' )

1) CXR
2) CXR Power
3) HX Hot
4) SR 2
5) Supersoft
6) Diablo
7) Hex Control
8) Chrome Soft
9) Hex Black
10) X2 Hot

How is anyone supposed to make any sense of that lot...

Chrome Soft is Yes for sure best callaway ball Ive ever used

 

[Smiffy]

I've been using the Callaway Supersoft for over a year now and love them. My ball of choice.
Some people have said they react a little "funny" off the putter but I haven't found that.
Have just ordered some new Bridgestone "extra soft" to see how they compare but as I say, Supersoft are good.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

There's a reason they were in a hedgerow in the first place

they don't fly straight

They flew straight enough - just not high enough (to clear the gorse between tee and fairway)

I tried the Supersoft and loved them, but I just can't putt with them, they just fly off the putter.

I suppose that could be useful through the winter months ahead

Another plus for the Chrome Soft, fantastic ball, distance and spin were both excellent on the ones I tried. The Supersoft is not bad either.

I've just started using the Bridgestone 'extra soft'. Really good distance and acceptable short game performance, and a fair bit cheaper than the Srixon Z-Star XVs I generally use.

 

[MashieNiblick]

I tried some SR1's last year and really liked them. Seem hard to get hold of though. Chrome Soft is also very good.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

The Chrome Soft is probably the only one I'd use. Never been that big a fan of Callaway balls
