Callaway Chrome Tour More Consistent Than ProV1?

[ChetlovesMer]

Okay I stumbled upon this: 

Callaway is claiming longer carry than PRO V1. Okay, that may be possible. But they are also claiming more consistent... hmm....???

It could be something like 0.1% better and they can make that claim. 

If the golf ball has good quality control, all premium golf balls perform about the same when you consider human testing. Robot testing you can fiddle with it to get some results you want.

The claims are based on using a GCQuad? They don't even measure more than a few feet of ball flight, and the rest is an algorithm. Meh.

I'd have a hard time believing its more than that.

I feel like this pretty much has to be the case.

I tried, albeit briefly, to find out how they came up with that claim. This is the only thing I found... which is nothing.

If anyone has a link to Callaway's testing, I'd love to know how they tested and what the results were/are.

If you need to claim and try to convince people that you are the best ball in the market then you are probably not. ProV1 is never going to compare themselves to other brand.

True, at least here in Argentina Coke is Number 1 by far.
Pepsi is always the one trying to compare themselves to Coke.

Despite that, I love the commercial from 2001 were a little boy purchase 2 cans of coke from a spending machine in order to stand over them so he can reach the Pepsi button.
