I used to game the Chrome which I loved but couldn't justify the cost with how many I was losing so I switched to the Taylormade TP3 which is now discontinued. I was just looking and saw Callaway now has Hex Hot and Hex Hot Pro which are a bit cheaper than the Chrome but still 3 piece balls. I know the hots are not a urethane cover but is that a big difference? Other than that how different would they play?

HEX Black - 5 piece ball, urethane cover - http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/golf-balls/hex-black-tour-golf-ball/specs.html

HEX Chrome+ - 4 piece ball, urethane cover - http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/golf-balls/hex-chrome-plus-golf-ball/specs.html

HEX Chrome - 3 piece ball, urethane cover - http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/golf-balls/hex-chrome-golf-ball/specs.html

HEX Hot Pro - 3 piece ball, trionomer cover - http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/golf-balls/hex-hot-*********-ball/specs.html

HEX Hot - 3 piece ball, trionomer cover - http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/golf-balls/hex-hot-golf-ball/specs.html

The difference between the three is what the cover is made out of. The Chrome has the softer urethane cover whereas the other two don't. The Hot and Hot pro are pretty similar but have different core materials.

If you liked the Chrome and are looking for an alternative, I'd suggest the Callaway HEX Pro. It's a 4 piece ball with the same urethane cover as on the Black and Chrome+. It also uses the same materials for the mantel and core layers as those balls, just different thicknesses. The only downside, if it even is one, is that they are only available at Costco. They are $24/dozen and from my limited testing play as well as the HEX Black.

Here are the specs on the HEX Pro:

I was looking at the Hex Pro also just not sure if I can get to Costco anytime soon.  I have a golf trip down to Ocean City Maryland next Thursday so I need to pick up some balls this weekend for that trip.   I noticed Golfsmith was running a sale on the HX Bite balls with 2 dozen for $30.  Anyone have any experience with them?  I noticed they're also a 3piece ball.

Have a go with these if you are not a high speed swinger: HEX Chrome at $30.

I think the HX Bite is not a urethane cover ball.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
