I like a soft feel :-D ... I can not tell difference between these and super soft ... so the Chrome Soft don't seem to be worth the extra $ for me . I did not notice any distance difference between the ether.

Do you guys really sacrifice that much distance just for better feel around the green? Or does this ball not fit my swing or something?

Moved your posts to this thread.

I personally didn't see a difference in distance. Here are some of the reviews to check out.

I noticed a difference in distance. When the ground is dry I use prov1x balls because of the spin and short game. That said my theory is I don't have the swing speed to compress the provs and there's more side spin therefore less distance overall.  So when it's wet which it has been in Cincinnati all summer, I use the callaway chrome soft. All I can say is they have not invented the perfect ball for me yet.

Taylormade Lethal


The believe the Lethal is a lower launching ball, so did you experience more roll with the Lethal than with Chrome Soft?

I just love the NXT Tours. I guess I'll have to stick with those. I guess I'm really not a "soft ball" guy. I like a little softness but I like a ball that launches off of my club face too.

Not me.  If anything, I found the opposite to be true.  There were some wedge shots where I unexpectedly gained distance with the Chrome Soft the first time I used it. (Here is my review if you are interested.) But, for the most part, all of the balls I use are very similar in distance.  I use ProV1, ChromeSoft, KickX, Snell My Tour, and B330 or 330S, and the only noticeable difference in any of them for me is the feel/sound off the putter.  Chrome Soft feels the softest of the group, although all of them are soft enough that I don't care which of those I'm playing.

I lean mostly towards Snell because of the price. :beer: (I reviewed these recently as well)

EDIT:  I received a couple of sleeves of SR3 recently and have played those for a few holes as well.  They play just fine also, but are noticeably less soft off the putter.

Where can I sell these? I posted on Amazon but have had no takers. I'm sure you guys probably know a good website for that. Thanks!

      Short Putts and Partial Wedges Are Killing My Game

      Ok, that makes sense. I was trying to wrap my head around that concept when I was writing my post.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      78 today at Minnesott (36 front / 42 back) - a new first with an even par on the front.  A big day of up and downs for par.  Only 26 putts against 4 GIR and 5 nGIR.  Was a CPO (cart path only) day due to recent rains.  Overall game was on - until 18 where I was looking at having a first “no-sixes” and made a triple 7 (tee shot in the lake, 2nd tee in fairway, shot 4 approach to right of green pin high, shot 5 bogie on the green, long two putts for triple 7.  Still a solid round and new personal best.

      I believe that 76 bpms is the tour average (or somewhere around that). I think that's from taking it back to impact. I'm not 100% sure of exactly how it works since a typical pendulum is already moving when it starts going back. The putter on the throughswing ideally would work pretty much exactly like a pendulum though. To get the exact same time period from starting the putter back to impact, you'll have to accelerate it a lot faster on a longer putt right at the beginning until it gets to the speed it needs to be to make the putter move the right distance. Probably all way too much to think about while actually hitting a putt, but bottom line is I agree entirely that a metronome is a good thing to use if you're working on your putting tempo. As to the split between backstroke and downstroke, the tour tempo lot said 2:1 is the ideal. 3:1 for full swing. 2:1 for short game and putting. Whenever I go on a SAM I am about 1.7:1 I think and I can't for the life of me get my backstroke to be slow enough to get it to 2:1. Ho hum. Last comment - if you do have a perfect pendulum putting stroke and you have the ball slightly forward of the center of your stance, then the putter should be just starting to rise again at impact and with the way that pendulum motion works, it should be very slightly decelerating at impact, which I believe someone may have suggested once 😛

      Was going to chime in on Erik’s videos - they were and are solid teaching on better putting.

      I'm a big fan of the metronome. I forget what my actual numbers were, but something like 0.59 seconds: my backswings, regardless of the length of the putt, is 0.59 seconds (or 0.72 or whatever the actual number was). The period of a pendulum is determined by the length of the pendulum. So, to hit a putt harder, you take it back farther… in the same amount of time. So you have to swing it faster, and thus, it comes through faster. The putter head has to travel faster to travel farther in the same amount of time. Everyone tends to have a "beat" that they like. For some it's slower, and they have to make bigger backswings to make a putt go the same distance as someone like Brandt Snedeker. It also has a metronome IIRC. 😄
