I Tested Callaway's NEW Ball Against the Pro V1x and the Results Were SHOCKING!

Can the new Chrome Tour X from Callaway beat the Pro V1 in ball speed and wedge spin? I flew to ECPC in Carlsbad to test these balls and was shocked at the results!

I’ve extensively tested both balls. My ball speed is 165 w Tour X and 162 w ProV1 x. The chrome tour x spins about 300 RPM more than ProV1x so the net gain was negligible. However the additional spin helps keep the ball in the air longer especially in any kind of wind.

[@BruceBusby]

Two Callaway pitch men telling us the new Callawobble Wobblesoft is better than the ProV1x 😂😂😂 Let's cut them in 1/2 and see where the cores are!

[@philly2kuk1985]

I was thinking the same. Callaway telling me their ball is better doing a test where they’ve probably hand picked the balls is dubious. Why not send the balls to someone like Rick shiels or Peter finch to test without the callaway guy stood there impacting proceedings. Plus we are going off what he reads, where’s the actual data?

[@barrymills8597]

Hit them enough times and you won’t need to cut them in half. Callaway has that built in 🤣🤣

[@BruceBusby]

I realize balls are expensive but in order for this BS to have even the thinnest slice of belief as an objective trial... send 2 doz of each down the fairway and let's see the grouping. A ball with 4 mph extra ballspeed isn't much good if it's in the trees, water or OB. The wobblesoft balls are famous for some pretty crazy ball flights. The 1st wobblesoft I ever hit was fun to watch. We found it, cut it open and found the core more the 1/4" off centered. The proshop got them back, refunded my $ and framed the cut ball. ProV1 and ProV1x don't have those issues

[@bigboots6114]

@@BruceBusbycallaway fixed that issue of cores being off a few yrs ago

[@phild3892]

To be fair after that debacle in like 2018 callaway dumped like 50 million into the balls and now say they’ll compete with all the best balls

[@cleveland2022]

Thats nice. Cant wait for the new Chrome Tour X ball in Feb. Currently play the Chrome Soft X

[@perrygill]

TItleist had a 172.8 ball and 121.8 swing speed. That is a 1.42 smash factor. Not trying to be a jerk, but those are massive mishits. This video doesn't show anything.

[@jqsmooth77]

How do you get "on average" after hitting once with the Chrome Tour X? Anyway, I tried the Chrome Tour balls recently and I am really impressed.

[@WillB1197]

Awesome man. Can’t wait to test these out on the course

[@MM-zb9kc]

Why no spin and distance numbers with the driver comparison? Just because you have faster ball speed, doesn’t always equal more distance. That’s why I wish you would have posted spin and distance as well as club head and ball speed.

[@bkf22002]

Because like I found the CTX spins about 300 RPM more negating the ball speed. With his speed that spin rate is likely even more than the 300 RPM increase that at see at 165 ball speed

[@chriselmore9621]

I guess the callaway ball makes ya swing faster as well that’s a helluva ball..

[@VizzyBon3]

I hope there’s a chrome tour X low spin edition at some point

[@nxcremix8804]

the normal chrome tour is the new version of the chrome soft x ls

[@chrisrichardson3333]

so i question the validity of this test. A. what are the shot shapes for these 6 shots. it seems like your swinging out of your shoes with the driver. B. on the wedges you could have shown the angle of attack to prove that the swings were as close a possible. These tests seem bias.

[@cardiderek]

Can't wait to watch tour players use these fast balls when the new bifurcation rules are in place!

[@weezinn]

When you see them all wearing callaway hats you have to assume you’re going to want to buy callaway after this

[@bonscottrocks1728]

Happy New Year Josh...

[@joshkelleygolf]

Happy new year!

[@JTSwJT]

Should that ball be tested with the pro v left dash??

[@md27100]

No, left dash is a low spin high flight model. CTX is a high flight high spin which matches the V1X profile

[@davidolmstead9694]

1.42 average smash factor versus 1.45. Is that a reflection of the ball or the operator?

[@zacharymilos392]

We'll never know bc they didn't show us strike location

[@Iamwrongbut]

Does this ball only work for super high swing speeds? Because I can hit 110 some days but 120 club head speed isn’t in the cards for me

[@joshkelleygolf]

Works for ever swing speed. They tested 100s of people and haven’t lost.

[@josephwirtz8352]

7:31 Josh, why does it say “Chrome Soft X” on the final results?

[@BigSwervin]

Ever heard of mistakes?

[@joshkelleygolf]

Sorry that was a typo 🤦‍♂️

[@glenock766]

What’s the reason for hitting it into a net especially when you have the hitting field in front of you and get to see the flight of the balls

[@Iamwrongbut]

Yeah I was confused by that

[@philly2kuk1985]

So they don’t lose the handpicked balls for the test probably.

[@joshkelleygolf]

The GC Quad doesn’t track the balls down range so after the first few fee it doesn’t matter where you’re hitting to. I wasn’t the only one testing and we only had a dozen Pro V1xs

[@jimmyculp8756]

Have fun while u can Guys? Rollback is coming!

[@samuelknott5586]

Lol seven years away.

[@hbyrdut]

Don't you gain about 2-3 mph of ball speed for every mph of clubhead speed. If that's right then the drivers were pretty close. Curious to know the impact locations?

[@joshkelleygolf]

By that math 100 mph club speed would generate 200-300 MPH ball speed 😅. It’s roughly 1.5 MPH per 1 MPH Club Speed. I averaged 1.3 MPH faster with Chrome Tour so just under 2 MPH if everything was equal. I saw an increase of 5 MPH so Chrome Tour for me was just over 3 MPH faster apples to apples

[@hbyrdut]

Good point. Bad math on my part. I think I was thinking of yards.

[@steveholliday4519]

The new norm...for a couple years anyway haha

[@jeffreypino339]

Can’t wait to try them

[@marioalvarado3082]

As soon as you said to make it fair as possible, that you should’ve never had known what balls you were hitting, you should’ve blacked out the brand with a marker

[@VertexGolfAcademy]

Callaway for the win!

[@johnbrodnik839]

I can’t wait for the New Ball Rollback! Then What!?! 🤪

[@jonbuikema7399]

Now do average person speed. Few can do 120+.

[@CHRISBROGAN-ce2wn]

pro v1x is now the higher spinning ball...this is not apples ......this is callaways harder less spinning ball............should be prov1 vs this ball...thats the head to head

[@illnvss352]

Nah dude X literally means Extra Spin for a reason😂 why are you spitting this nonsense?

[@gregmcdonald9022]

This is just a Callaway advertisement. Nothing more. At a minimum you’d need to know the strike location was on average the same for the two golf balls, and that’s never discussed.

[@jacoe33333]

Hahaha. Not convinced.

[@mitchh6]

Yeah… lets roll the ball back 🙄

[@wickedroller]

Wanted an unbiased opinion but this isn't the video for that.

[@oldandstiff]

Ridiculous

[@mack-uv6gn]

This isn’t bias 🤔

[@EricCartmenez1]

only fair way is for 1 titleist fitter and 1 callaway fitter to be there. very biased review - pretty obvious.

[@joshkelleygolf]

They tested this with 100s of people. Never lost. I hit 12 shots and these were the results I got 🤷‍♂️

[@michaelrooney2216]

Total bs I’ve tried this test myself prov1x by far a better ball Bridgestone are the best ball❤ now that f we’re talking drivers callaway alll the way

[@joshkelleygolf]

This ball just came out. It’s not even available in stores yet. Where did you do this test?

[@charlieheimann]

What a load of rubbish. There must be an embargo on 3rd party reviews of these balls for now. Not very encouraging when the first test on KZbin is so blatantly in house (possibly biased, not sure). I will try the balls if they test well independently, but will still be massively concerned about durability (major problem with last gen balls) and consistency of manufacturing.

[@joshkelleygolf]

I knew they haters would be out which is why I was being as transparent as possible. Try it yourself. This ball is the real deal

[@bmos212]

Stop ,stop, stop, you picked your clubhead speed, and so it wasn't apples to apples, shady test, man. Gonna get slammed in the comments.

[@joshkelleygolf]

I was an average of 1.3 mph club speed faster with Chrome Tour X. That equates to let’s than 2 MPH ball speed. I gained over 5 MPH ball speed. So to be fair I picked up over 3 MPH apples to apples.

[@bmos212]

@joshkelleygolf I'd have to see the smash factor to buy that. You don't just gain 5 mph with a ball. I fit people every day and have yet to see a ball change that netted an average of 5 mph faster. Not to mention, my club speed is similar to yours 123-125 with the driver. My average ball with PROV1X, left dash, TP5X, and CS-LS are all within 1-3 mph of one another, and I'm getting 181 ball on average. Just saying.

[@joshkelleygolf]

@@bmos212 technically I gained 3 MPH. Also they have done this test 100s of times and have seen an increase each time. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me 🤷‍♂️

[@bmos212]

@joshkelleygolf Yeah I will, We have the balls at work, so will test them shortly.

[@noworriesman]

Sponsored by callaway, saying callaway has the best ball, with callaway reps... They didn't really think this through did they? The information could be very well true, but has 0 credibility to the user

[@noworriesman]

Viewer*

[@whocares3986]

Super duper scientifical. 😂

[@scottw9267]

Only 2 seconds in but you guys are comparing the wrong balls. Tour x is supposed to spin like prov1. Prov1x is supposed to spin like tour.

[@illnvss352]

Not true at all, I don’t know where you got that from buddy but they are both X balls because it indicates “Extra” spin

[@DCottin]

I had to unsubscribe. This test is so faulty and biased I can’t trust anything from this channel

[@joshkelleygolf]

I was straight up and honest about the entire test that I did. 🤷‍♂️

[@DMKFACTOR]

Why would you test an x ball vs a non-x ball? Should’ve been ProV1 vs Chrome Tour! Or ProV1x vs Chrome Tour X! Just stupid!

[@joshkelleygolf]

Did you not listen or read? It was a chrome tour x vs pro v1 x
