I've been looking at and buying Callaway HEX Chrome balls this week. They are my new ball for a few dozen.

Suddenly today, I notice HEX Blacks have dropped in price on an on-line golf site. They are less than the HEX Chromes. Even Golfsmith has them marked at 40% off or $27.30 (was $45.99). Chromes are still $35.99 at Golfsmith. Golf Galaxy has not changed the prices yet.

1. Are they planning a new release? Discontinuing this ball?

2. If my swing speed is about 95-103 MPH with my driver, what differences should I expect between the Chrome and the Black?

See the thread: http://thesandtrap.com/t/60792/callaway-drops-price-of-razr-fit-driver-for-ernie-els-win-at-the-open-championship/0_30

Callaway in honor of Els win at the Open dropped the price of Razr Fit drivers and Hex Black balls.  Razr Fit driver is $273.00 and Hex Black balls are $27.30.   It's a promotion to publicize Els win using Callaway clubs so pretty certain it's not because they intend to release a new ball.  I ordered a dozen to try them out, so I'm not sure how they differ from the Hex Chrome.

And, Ernie's total score was 273, so that's why they chose the prices they did.

I'm in the same boat with the swing speed, average 105 (generally play the NXT Tour).  But I have played a sleeve of the HEX Black and they are a great ball.  Best short game ball I've played.  The NXT Tour just suites me a little better overall.  I just picked up 2 dozen of the HEX Black at Dick's though, based on the great price.

That being said, you'll probably notice a little difference in regard to compressing of the ball.  But other than that, I think you'll be happy with them.

Let us know what you think!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
