Callaway has unveiled the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls: Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway officially introduced the new generation of its premium golf balls with the 2026 Chrome Tour Family. Featuring the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft models, the brand expands its portfolio targeting ambitious golfers who value tour-level performance, consistent ball flights, and precise feel. The pre-sale starts on January 6 at 3 PM, with worldwide availability beginning January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
The core of the new Chrome Tour Family is Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. Central to this is the new Tour Fast Mantle, optimized through an enhanced core and layer system to increase ball speed and add distance. The goal is to provide a consistent performance level across all clubs. This concept is supported by the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which Callaway states delivers a high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency with every shot.
Another key component is Precision Technology, representing an integrated development approach where design, manufacturing, and testing are precisely coordinated. The result is a golf ball that delivers reproducible outcomes and maximum reliability for players 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 clearly positioned in the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover, offering excellent control and feel especially around the greens. The Chrome Tour provides a medium feel, combining low spin on long shots with high spin around the green and high workability.
The Chrome Tour X targets players preferring a firmer ball characteristic. It emphasizes control, consistency, and playability, complemented by a construction focused on 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 reputation for outstanding tour performance combined with an exceptionally soft feel. Callaway uses a urethane cover designed for high spin rates in short game shots and precise control on approaches. The Chrome Soft appeals to players who favor a soft feel without compromising performance.
Pricing and Market Launch
Callaway positions the new Chrome Family in the premium segment. In Germany, the balls will be available for €65 per dozen.
With the 2026 Chrome Family, Callaway reaffirms its commitment to delivering state-of-the-art golf ball technology for the highest performance demands—tailored by player type but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
