More Than Just Bertha: Callaway’s High-End Golf Balls

callawayblog.jpg

Callaway Golf burst on to the equipment scene more than 25 years ago with the game changing Big Bertha line of drivers, fairway metals and eventually irons. Alongside a few other key competitors, these products pushed the industry away from persimmon woods and toward the modern era of equipment defined by titanium and composites materials.

While its influence on the world of club design is undeniable, the company has also been making some excellent golf balls for the past decade and a half. For this blog post, we want to focus on the Tour caliber balls that rival other industry titans like the ProV1 for a spot in the bags of high-level amateurs and professionals.

One of the most recognizable and unique features in Callaway’s balls first showed up in 2002, distinct hexagonal dimples. This design helps reduce drag, making them travel further and straighter through the air, according to experts at Callaway. It has been a staple in the company’s most popular models, including those we’re examining further here.

The newest Tour level ball is the Chrome Soft, which features 4-piece construction and Dual SoftFast Core technology to provide higher ball speeds and optimal spin rates to maximize performance through the bag.  The Dual SoftFast Core is engineered for fast ball speeds with low spin for players needing spin reduction to optimize their launch conditions off the tee. Another version of the ball, called Truvis, features a red and white pattern and is specifically designed to maximize the player’s view of the golf ball for better focus and visibility.

For those looking for another great option, but at even better savings, check out last year’s Speed Regime 3, which was used by the winner of the 2016 Masters Tournament. The “SR3” provides optimized aerodynamic performance for more distance at Tour-level swing speeds. A soft urethane cover delivers maximum control and an incredibly soft feel. Designed for low handicap players, the aerodynamic performance works best with driver speeds of 105mph and above. If you don’t quite hit that mark, check out the SR2 and SR1 options for great performance at lower swing speeds.

The quality of Callaway Golf Balls is second to none and at LostGolfBalls.com we give you the option to buy a variety of quantities, so you can test a dozen against your current gamer or buy in bulk buckets and save big.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
