Callaway has unveiled the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls: Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway officially revealed the 2026 generation of its premium golf balls with the Chrome Tour Family. The lineup includes the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft models, targeting ambitious golfers who prioritize tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. Pre-sales start January 6 at 3 PM, with global availability from January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
At the heart of the new Chrome Tour Family is Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. The core innovation is the Tour Fast Mantle, featuring an optimized core and layer system that enhances ball speed and distance. The goal is consistent performance across all clubs. This is supported by the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which Callaway says delivers high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency on every shot.
Another key element is Precision Technology, a holistic development approach aligning design, manufacturing, and testing down to the smallest detail. The result is a golf ball that offers reproducible outcomes and maximum reliability for players.
Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X: Detailed Tour Performance
The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X are designed as 4-piece golf balls positioned clearly in the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover that provides excellent control and feel around the greens. The Chrome Tour offers a medium feel, combining low spin on long shots with high spin around the green and enhanced workability.
The Chrome Tour X targets players who prefer a firmer ball feel. It focuses on control, consistency, and playability with a construction engineered for maximum performance within the Chrome Family.
Chrome Soft: Soft Feel with Tour-Level Performance
The Chrome Soft completes the family as a 3-piece golf ball, maintaining its reputation for outstanding tour-level performance coupled with an exceptionally soft feel. Callaway also uses a urethane cover here, designed to generate high spin rates on short shots and precise control on approaches. The Chrome Soft is aimed at players seeking a soft feel without sacrificing performance.
Pricing and Market Launch
Callaway positions the new Chrome Family in the premium segment. In Germany, the balls will retail for €65 per dozen.
With the 2026 Chrome Family, Callaway reaffirms its commitment to offering cutting-edge golf ball technology that meets the highest performance demands—tailored for different player types but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
