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.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju Put On Quite A Show

Before I talk about the thrilling finale of the 2026 Players Championship, I wanted to highlight Sudarshan Yellamaraju (Titleist Pro V1). Yellamaraju is a landed Canadian immigrant – I’m a Canadian by birth – and his hometown is Mississauga, which is where I am based, in the west end of Toronto. Up until last week, Yellamaraju was known only to the Canadian golf community, and even then, it was probably a limited audience. That will no longer be the case. His cover, so to speak, has been blown after he finished tied with Ludwig Aberg (Titleist Pro V1x) and Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5X) for fifth.

Scottie Scheffler Is Clearly In A Slump

What’s wrong with Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1)? It’s become increasingly obvious that the world’s number one men’s player is clearly frustrated. He’s been showing visible signs of it for several weeks, but the most glaring example occurred after he bogeyed a makeable putt on his final shot of the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. After picking up his ball he threw it into the water. There was a noticeable murmur among the crowd, almost teetering on booing.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?
