Callaway has launched the new Chrome Tour Family golf balls, including the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft.
On Tuesday, Callaway unveiled the next generation of its premium golf balls, officially introducing the Chrome Tour Family 2026. With the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft models, the manufacturer expands its lineup specifically for ambitious golfers who value tour-level performance, consistent ball flight, and precise feel. The pre-sale begins on January 6 at 3 PM, with worldwide availability starting January 30, 2026.
Focus on Speed and Consistency
The new Chrome Tour Family centers around Callaway’s highlighted Speed Technology. At the core of this development is the new Tour Fast Mantle, featuring an optimized core and layer system that increases ball speed and adds extra distance. The goal is to deliver consistent performance across all clubs. This concept is supported by the Advanced Seamless Tour Aero®, which Callaway states ensures a high, stable ball flight and exceptional flight and distance consistency with every shot.
Another key element is the Precision Technology, representing a holistic development approach where design, manufacturing, and testing are closely coordinated. The result is a golf ball that delivers reproducible 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, clearly positioned in the tour segment. Both versions feature a Precision Tour Urethane Cover, providing high control and feel, especially in short game situations. The Chrome Tour offers a medium feel and combines low spin on long shots with high spin around the greens along with strong workability.
The Chrome Tour X targets players who prefer a slightly firmer ball characteristic. It focuses on control, consistency, and playability, complemented by a design aimed at 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 maintains the well-known standard of combining outstanding tour performance with a particularly soft feel. Callaway also uses a urethane cover here, engineered 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 sacrificing performance.
Pricing and Market Launch
Callaway positions the new Chrome Family in the premium segment. In Germany, the balls will be priced at €65 per dozen.
With the Chrome Family 2026, Callaway emphasizes its commitment to providing cutting-edge golf ball technology for the highest performance demands – differentiated by player type but united by speed, consistency, and precision.
