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. The new Chrome Tour Family expands the lineup for ambitious golfers seeking tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. The pre-sale begins January 6 at 3 PM, with worldwide availability starting January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
The core of the new Chrome Tour Family features Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. Central to this is the new Tour Fast Mantle, an optimized core and layer system that increases ball speed and distance. It aims to provide a consistent performance across all clubs. Supporting this is the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which offers a high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency on every shot.
A key component is also the Precision Technology, a holistic development approach coordinating design, manufacturing, and testing in detail. The result is a golf ball delivering repeatable results 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 firmly in the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover that offers high 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 high workability.
The Chrome Tour X is aimed at players who prefer a firmer ball characteristic. It emphasizes control, consistency, and playability with a design focused on maximum performance within the Chrome Family.
Chrome Soft: Soft Feel with Tour-Level Performance
The Chrome Soft rounds out the family as a 3-piece golf ball. Staying true to its reputation, it offers outstanding tour performance with a notably soft feel. It also utilizes a urethane cover for high spin rates in short games and precise control on approach shots. The Chrome Soft is targeted at players who prefer 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 be sold for 65€ per dozen. The 2026 Chrome Family underlines Callaway’s commitment to providing advanced golf ball technology for the highest performance demands—differentiated by player type but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
