Callaway has unveiled the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls: Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway officially introduced the next generation of its premium golf balls with the launch of the Chrome Tour Family 2026. The new lineup—comprising the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft—targets ambitious golfers who value tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. Pre-sales begin January 6 at 3 p.m., with worldwide retail availability starting January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
At the heart of the new Chrome Tour Family lies Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. Central to this innovation is the new Tour Fast Mantle, featuring an optimized core and layer system designed to increase ball speed and distance. The goal is to deliver consistent performance across all clubs. This concept is supported by Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which Callaway states ensures 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 to produce a golf ball that offers reproducible results and maximum reliability for players.
Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X: Detailed Tour Performance
The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X models are designed as 4-piece golf balls positioned clearly within the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover that provides exceptional control and feel, especially around the greens. The Chrome Tour offers a medium feel, combining low spin on long shots with high spin around the green and excellent workability. The Chrome Tour X targets players who prefer a slightly firmer ball feel, emphasizing control, consistency, and playability with a construction optimized 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 combining outstanding tour performance with a notably soft feel. Callaway employs a urethane cover designed to deliver high spin rates around the greens and precise control on approach shots. The Chrome Soft is aimed at players who favor 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. The Chrome Family 2026 underlines Callaway’s commitment to providing the latest golf ball technology for the highest performance demands—tailored to different player types but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
