At the heart of the new Chrome family is a significant material breakthrough: the Tour Fast Mantle. Used for the first time in a golf ball, this advanced mantle sits within an optimised core and layer system designed to maximise energy transfer at impact. The result is a faster golf ball that produces meaningful gains in distance without sacrificing control or feel.

The Tour Fast Mantle works by acting more efficiently at impact, helping the ball launch with increased speed while maintaining the characteristics elite players demand. Early testing has already shown notable speed improvements across the new Chrome lineup, reinforcing Callaway’s focus on measurable performance gains rather than marginal tweaks.

Complementing the new mantle technology is Callaway’s Advanced Seamless Tour Aero. This refined aerodynamic design promotes strong, penetrating flight and exceptional consistency from shot to shot. Whether off the tee or into the wind, the seamless pattern helps ensure the ball performs consistently every time, regardless of its position at address.

Each model within the Chrome Tour family is purpose-built to suit different player profiles. Chrome Tour delivers a balanced performance, combining fast ball speed with controlled spin and reliable greenside feel. Chrome Tour X is designed for players seeking maximum speed, featuring a slightly firmer feel and higher spin characteristics for added workability. Chrome Soft continues to offer its trademark soft feel, pairing higher launch and lower full-shot spin with dependable performance around the greens.

A high-performance Tour Urethane cover across the range provides the touch and feedback required for scoring shots, ensuring the new Chrome balls remain as effective from 100 metres in as they are off the tee.
