Callaway HX Tour 56

All I can say is "See ya later Titleist!!" These balls are awesome. I think they feel better and just as long as ProV1's. Good job Callaway for de-throning the king of balls (at least for me!!)

I had picked up a dozen of these at target about a month ago. After playing them and then going to the Pro V1's all last week, i agree that the HX Tour 56 is a better ball. It has a much softer feel around the green and still has great distance of the tee.

wow for $6.00 a ball I hope they're good!

[mike_pinto]

$6???? I get a dozen for $35.00. 35 / 12 = 2.916666666666

Man is my math bad

I was quoting the price show here (Canadian) which should be pretty close to the price in the US these days, but it is not...

And that works out to a little over $4 a ball.

That's pretty funny stuff..

I just picked up a sleeve of both the HX Tour and the HX Tour 56 and played them both last weekend. Wanted to see which one I liked better. Have to agree; both balls are fantastic. As for which one I like best...jury is still out on that one, but I'd play either one.

Hmm...finally something

cheaper than the Pro V1? I might have to give them a spin--my only experience with the Pro V1 was three consecutive shots out of bounds.

Well lamebums, if you're really concerned about the cost and just want to try them out, I can tell you for sure that there's at least one of each of the HX Tour and HX Tour 56 right out by you at Lassing Pointe from this past Sunday! But, definitely not the balls fault.

Heh... sometimes I do spend time in the deep rough looking for other people's lost balls, especially if it's not on a crowded day. Dunno about Lassing Pointe--haven't golfed there, and it looks like it's a really tight course.

And, it is always the ball's fault. It is never the golfer's.

I know. I was playing 9 on Tuesday using Pro V1's and i lost 5 balls in 4 holes. I switch back to the Callaway HX Tour 56 and guess what. I hit a driver about 370 (Very dry and must have gotten a really lucky bounce). Lob wedge to a tight pin. Knock in the 6 foot putt for birdie.

370!! Did you have cart path assistance =)?

[mike_pinto]

They shouldn't put 'em there unless they want you to use 'em!!

I'll take 370 any way I can get it!!

No my drive barely made it 15 yards of the ground added to about 2 weeks without a good rain here in Pittsburgh on a course that doesn't have irrigation. Later in the year we can't play the course because its to hard. Balls wont stick on the green.

And yes the drive had to of been at least 360. We play the blues and the hole length says its 405 from the whites. I was only 30 or so yards from the green.

[Cleveland Gunmetal]

That drive just took a bad bounce. It's down to 360...

Or... maybe he pulled a Don Johnson in Tin Cup. "He hit it down the f$%#in' road."

I haven't played the HX Tour's, I've played some of the other Callaway balls a couple years back and didn't like them all that much. Maybe, I'll pick up a sleeve in a couple weeks and see how they are. I've personally fallen in love with Srixon Z-URS's, but I have no problem giving other balls a try.
