Callaway Golf launch new HEX Chrome+ Golf Ball

By: Owen Davies | Wed 10 Apr 2013

Callaway Golf have announced the launch of its new Callaway HEX Chrome+ golf ball, a Tour performance golf ball that delivers high ball speeds for maximum distance at mid to high clubhead speeds, especially with the driver. HEX Chrome+ is Callaway's latest offering in the HEX Chrome family of balls, a version of which was already put in play on the European Tour recently by Spanish sensation Pablo Larrazabal. This new ball’s dual mantle unlocks distance by increasing speed and minimising spin off the tee, while the soft TPU cover promotes Tour-level control and feel in this powerful 4-piece performance ball.

“HEX Chrome+ is hands down the fastest Tour Ball we’ve ever designed at Callaway,” said Dave Bartels, Senior Director, Golf Ball R&D, Callaway Golf Company. “This new 4-piece construction has a single-piece core and dual-mantle system that were designed in unison to create more ball speed with the longer clubs without generating excessive spin, leading to longer distance.

“However, what makes the distance of this ball special is that it achieves that distance whilst featuring a soft DuraSpin cover,” continued Bartels. “This urethane cover material not only has great durability, but provides exceptional ‘Tour-level’ control around the green that the best players in the world demand in a premium ball.”

President and Managing Director EMEA, Neil Howie added:

"Our Tour players love this ball too. Staff Professional Pablo Larrazabal put this ball straight into competitive play, proving yet again that Callaway has created a product that is equally at home on Tour as it is with amateur golfers."
