Coming Soon: The Top Golf Balls for 2015

The PGA Show is the first chance for everyone in the golf industry to see and show off the latest and greatest merchandise.

Lost Golf Balls was in attendance again this year, and we can tell you this show was even bigger than the last! We saw everything from golf equipment to apparel, but there is nothing Lost Golf Balls likes more than discovering new golf balls. Here’s what we found…

Callaway Chrome Soft

The new Callaway Chrome Soft is a three-piece golf ball with what experts are calling a softFast inner core. This ball boasts tour distance and soft feel around the greens. With a 65 compression, the spin off the driver, woods, and irons is reduced for maximum distance.

But how is the ball’s spin around the green? Callaway’s new Soft Urethane DuraSpin Cover allows the ball to spin more around the greens.

Bridgestone eSeries

You’re probably familiar with the current eSeries. This year’s eSeries is similar to the old series in terms of performance, however there is a new dimple pattern on the ball called the “web”. These dimples allow for the ball flight to be more consistent.

The eSeries from Bridgestone offers three models to fit a golfer’s individual style.

  • The e5 generates more speed to increase ball flight and carry more distance off the tee.
  • The e6 has the lowest amount of spin out of the eSeries, which helps decrease slicing or hooking the ball.
  • The e7 helps the golfer that hits the ball too high and wants a lower trajectory. This ball has the firmest feel of the eSeries. 

Titleist Pro V

Titleist Pro V golf balls are the number one ball in golf. Don’t fix it if it isn’t broken, right? However, Titleist is shooting for a hole-in-one with its new Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

Both balls feature a new cover for better durability and a softer feel off the face of the club for more spin around the greens. Pro V1 is a three-piece ball with a very soft compression inside and an outside layer with a 352 dimple design. Pro V1X is a four-piece ball known for its ionomeric layer and has a 328 dimple design.

Not sure which is better for your game? Read more about Pro V vs. Pro V1.

2015 is shaping up to be a great year in golf. We’re excited for the season (we even made some predictions around it) and hope you are too. These 2015 balls will be lost before you know it, which means we’ll have them for you! Be the first to find out when your favorite ball is available.

Celine Boutier Part of the France Sports Panorma

If you are a fan of anything to do with sports about France, this is a great time. Tennis fans are enjoying the French Open. Say what you will about the hard-court tennis at the U.S. Open or the grass court tennis at Wimbledon, but the clay court tennis at Roland Garros is special. Just the look and texture about the clay makes this annual major something special.

Why I Wanted a Korean Golfer to Win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Midway through the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, I had dreams of K-Pop and the PGA Tour. When Si Woo Kim (Callaway Chrome Soft X) shot a 10-under par in the second round of the tournament, I wanted him to win. Or countryman Sungjae Im (Titleist Pro V1x), who recorded an ace in the same round. I thought it would be great to see one of the two Korean golfers win because of the connection to the title sponsor and seeing the Bibigo signage, TV commercials and logo on Kim and Im’s shirts.

Aaron Rai Masters The PGA Championship

If you had Aaron Rai (Titleist Pro V1) winning the PGA Championship, you are a genius. His odds ranged from 150-1 to 290-1. He showed absolutely nothing in his recent form or overall this year to indicate he was ready to do something big. Yes, he placed fifth prior to the PGA Championship in the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, but that was a tournament for players who weren’t eligible for the Truist Championship. So how could you realistically bet on Rai to win the PGA Championship?
