The new Chrome Soft ball features a new Graphene-infused core
CARLSBAD, Calif., January 23, 2018 -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY), today announced new versions of the Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X Golf Balls. The new models will be available to golfers in white, yellow, and the company's popular "True Viz" (soccer ball style) pattern, will be available at retail on February 16, 2018.
Chrome Soft Golf Balls combine Tour-proven performance with unparalleled feel and
exceptional mis-hit forgiveness. One of several new features, a Graphene-infused Dual
Soft Fast Core has a larger inner core to maximize compression energy while a)
minimizing driver-spin and b) promoting high launch for long distance.
“We’ve innovated at every layer, starting with our groundbreaking new Graphene Dual
SoftFast Core,” said Alan Hocknell, SVP, R&D, Callaway Golf. “The result is an
extremely fast and soft-feeling ball that promotes high-launch and low spin off the tee for
long distance, and incredible shot-stopping spin around the green.”
The Chrome Soft golf balls have helped establish Callaway as the fastest growing major
equipment company in the golf ball category since 2013.
