GETS Golf takes a quick look at the new Callaway Tour Triple Diamond ball before its official launch later this month.
Golf ball manufacturers have generally provided players seeking Tour-level performance with two main choices:
A slightly softer ball that typically flies lower and offers a controlled trajectory.
A firmer ball designed to spin more effectively and achieve a higher launch angle.
Each option presents distinct advantages, catering to varying playing styles and preferences among golfers. The softer ball generally offers a more forgiving feel upon impact, aiding players in achieving consistent strikes, while the firmer ball appeals to those prioritizing distance and the ability to shape shots with greater precision.
In recent years, the golf ball manufacturing landscape has evolved considerably, with an increasing number of big brands introducing a third option.
Callaway is the latest brand to adopt this innovative approach with the introduction of the new Chrome Tour Triple Diamond golf ball, which aims to bridge the gap between traditional options, offering a unique solution for players seeking optimal performance.
The Chrome Tour Triple Diamond golf ball is crafted to complement Callaway’s established Triple Diamond family of woods, typically designed for high-speed players aiming to reduce unwanted spin. By providing a golf ball aligned with this philosophy, Callaway looks to assist these players in achieving their performance goals, enabling them to maximize distance while maintaining shot control.
This new addition to the Callaway lineup incorporates advanced technology:
A newly optimized core that provides a slightly firmer feel.
Penetrating ball flight characterized by a high launch angle and low spin rate.
Players aiming to achieve greater driving distance while minimizing the risk of ballooning shots associated with higher spin rates.
Compared to previous models, specifically the Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X golf balls introduced by Callaway last year, the Chrome Tour Triple Diamond distinguishes itself by delivering the lowest spin throughout the entire bag.
The Triple Diamond model incorporates all the technology from the Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X, featuring the Hyper Fast Soft Core for a responsive feel with necessary spin and control. Its urethane cover enhances grip on the clubface for improved spin on approach shots and around the greens, balancing feel and distance.
