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!

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
