Callaway has launched the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls, including the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway officially revealed the new generation of its premium golf balls with the Chrome Tour Family 2026. The lineup, featuring the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft models, is tailored for ambitious golfers seeking tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. Pre-sales start on January 6 at 3 p.m., with worldwide retail availability beginning 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 new Tour Fast Mantle, an optimized core and layer system designed to boost ball speed and distance. The goal is consistent performance across all clubs. This is supported by the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which provides high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency on every shot.
Another key component is Precision Technology, a holistic development approach aligning design, manufacturing, and testing in detail. The result is a golf ball delivering reproducible results and maximum reliability for players.
Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X: Detailed Tour Performance
The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X are 4-piece golf balls positioned clearly in the tour segment. Both feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover, offering high control and feel, especially around the greens. The Chrome Tour delivers a medium feel, combining low spin off the tee with higher spin and great workability around the green.
The Chrome Tour X targets players preferring a firmer ball characteristic, with control, consistency, and playability prioritized alongside a performance-focused construction within the Chrome Family.
Chrome Soft: Soft Feel with Tour-Level Performance
The Chrome Soft completes the family as a 3-piece golf ball, continuing its reputation for exceptional tour performance with a notably soft feel. It also uses a urethane cover designed for high spin rates around the greens and precise control on approach shots. The Chrome Soft suits players who desire a soft feel without sacrificing performance.
Prices 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 Chrome Family 2026, Callaway emphasizes its commitment to providing cutting-edge golf ball technology that meets the highest performance standards, differentiated by player type but unified by speed, consistency, and precision.
