Callaway has released the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls including Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway unveiled the new generation of its premium golf balls, officially presenting the Chrome Tour Family 2026. With the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft models, the manufacturer expands its portfolio specifically for ambitious golfers who prioritize tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. The pre-sale starts on January 6 at 3 PM, with the balls becoming available worldwide from January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
At the core of the new Chrome Tour Family is Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. Central to this development is the new Tour Fast Mantle, which, through an optimized core and layer system, increases ball speed and adds distance. The goal is to offer a consistent level of performance across all clubs. This concept is supported by the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which according to Callaway ensures high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency on every shot.
Another key component is the Precision Technology, representing a holistic development approach where design, manufacturing, and testing are closely aligned. The result is a golf ball that delivers reproducible results and provides players with maximum reliability during play.
Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X: Detailed Tour Performance
The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X models are designed as 4-piece golf balls and are clearly positioned within the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover, which particularly allows for high control and feel in short game situations. The Chrome Tour delivers a medium feel and combines low spin on long shots with high spin around the green alongside high workability.
The Chrome Tour X targets players preferring a slightly firmer ball character. It also focuses on control, consistency, and playability, complemented by a construction designed for maximum performance within the Chrome Family.
Chrome Soft: Soft Feel with Tour-Level Performance
The Chrome Soft completes the new family as a 3-piece golf ball. It stays true to its known philosophy of combining outstanding tour performance with a particularly soft feel. Callaway also uses a urethane cover here, developed for high spin rates in the short game and precise control on approach shots. The Chrome Soft is aimed at players who prefer a soft feel without compromising on performance.
Pricing and Availability
Callaway positions the new Chrome Family in the premium segment price-wise. In Germany, the balls will retail for €65 per dozen.
With the Chrome Family 2026, Callaway reinforces its commitment to providing cutting-edge golf ball technology for the highest performance standards—tailored to player types but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
