I've played lots of balls over the years. Just got 2 dozen Kirkland performance and 1 dozen TaylorMade tour response for Xmas. Once I lose these I'll look in the woods for more 👍

Love your golf videos... always informative while also being ENTERTAINING! So rare...

Boss, I am following you since day one of your youtube and you are very great honest pointer on black and white in golf awesome contents and thank you so much

Great video Matt. Entertaining and informative. Keep it up

Great video. I cant wait to get the Chrome Tour X. The 3 main balls I played last summer was the Taylor Made TP5, the Callaway Chrome Soft X, and the ProV1x. Should be fun. Love the numbers on your review.

Love your videos. Not biased in either direction

Love the video, I just came from Callaway HQ and watched them do the same test, of course the Chrome Tour X out performed the Prov1x. By 1000 rpms, and 5 mph ballspeed. I'm glad you put this out there for public consumption. Getting tired of all these bold claims by OEMs.

Bought a dozen of these the other day to test them out, will be trying them out soon hopefully. I do like Softer feeling golf balls, lower spin driver and more spin on the wedges. Be interesting to see how they are. Seem like they should match my game really well

I received a couple boxes last fall of Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X. I love the CTX! Such a good ball off driver, iron, and putting. The Tour is good but too low spin for me. My buddy spins the balls way too much and loves the Chrome Tour. I definitely will be playing Callaway Chrome Tour x this year!! Great video MSG!

So glad you covered this. I just want to know if the Chrome Tour stops. Srixon Q star Tour and Z star are my currents. If the Chrome Tour stops on the green, get me a box of those in TT. Lets see

Got to hit these a couple weeks ago granted they were in a white box from Callaway lol. They felt great though to me a big improvement over the current chrome soft and chrome soft x. I'm switching to them from the TP5 myself.

This has nothing to do with this video but one of your previous videos and I can't remember which, whatever. You mentioned in that video, and this was only a brief mention and not the focus of the video, that one should "post" their left leg (make it straight) towards the end of one's swing. So if you're wondering if you are making a difference out here in golf land be assured that you are, because that one "instruction" has improved my game by 50 -60 %. No one ever told me to "post" my left leg. I tried it and like a miracle everything in my swing came together! Thank you so very much.

Picked up the Chrome Tour (gold) today. Very informative and specific detailed comparisons. The one thing you didn't touch on was players who are now 55+ (56 soon! lol) who's swing speed has decreased due to age and things like physical restrictions due to arthritis, etc. Having said that, do I take the 'Tour' back and get the 'Tour X' or does my slower swing speed garner using the 'Tour' (gold) ball. I should add that my HC is approx. 6.8 while playing the blue tees regularly. Thank you very much.

Keep up the good work Loved the honest Review

This was a great video. Ty very much for taking the time to make it

I got a sleve of the chrome tour. Can't play till I get back home in a few weeks BUT chipping with a brand new rtx 6 zipcore in the backyard about 15 to 20 yards they feel much much better than tge older x-ls

As a slow swinger I love callaway erc soft balls. Whenever I find a pro v I give it to a friend.

I would love to see this data with all of the SEED balls. I’ve never tried those. I have been playing with the PXG ball this year and I surprisingly like it around the greens and especially putting with the alignment on them

I recently Got fitted for a driver for the first time. I happen to have a 110 clubbhead speed but I'm still new to the game. Could u do a video for golf balls that are cheep for fast clubhead swings. I'm not rich but love the game. Thankyou

Interesting ball comparison, I play the Chrome Soft now, so I will be trying the Chrome Tour. On a side note: I have a Optishot BallFlight Simulator and am looking for a good hitting mat. I like the set up you have, can you tell me the brand of the mat? Thanks Bill

Could you add a #4 hybrid in your ball tests for old guys who use that off the tee! Enjoyed the piece. Thanks

Would love to see you review direct to consumer brands such as Vice Oncore and Seed. I have tried them and been impressed they tend to be 30% to 40% less $s similar performance to titlist

I went from chrome soft to vice pro. I also play vice pro soft. If there’s a difference in the 2 vice balls I can’t really tell. I think they are excellent balls. They stop on a dime and backup on more full wedge shots.

Gotta say the Pro V1x is IMO the best putting ball I’ve used. And I hate the feel of the TP5x when putting. I do look at how a ball putts, but that’s just me.

The more consistent your swing and setup the more you will keep your ball in play, I've tried balls that I hear many people say is rubbish and scored very well with them, you will lose the most expensive ball quite easily if you don't play it right. My son and I have tried almost all ball's on the market and find most are similar in performance 3hc by the way.

What is the durability like? I am not the fastest swinger in the world (around 90mph with the driver) and kept scuffing the Chrome Soft X a lot quicker than a Pro V1X.

"Don't Do That" is a great line. I believe for most golfers that aren't consistently scoring in the 70's pick a ball and stick with the same one so you eliminate one variable . Just as you tested, those balls are so close in performance it really doesn't matter for most golfers.

Great video Matt! Every spring I try 3 or 4 different balls to which is best for me for the year, I've been ProV1X the last few years. I'll try the the Chrome tour X and 2 others do you have any recommendations on the other 2 I should try? I'm 71 years old I have tried and liked the Bridgestones but they need to be replaced after 9 holes (not acceptable) I've thought about the maxfli and maybe the TP5X what do you think?

Funny how people have different likes when it comes to the feel of a golf ball. I'm at a 6.5 handicap right now and I swing at around 108 mph with the driver and I will not play anything but an AVX or a Chrome Soft ball. I just got so used to playing the super softs and soft feel balls when I was learning to play that I can't stand the feel of the hard compression balls at all, especially around the greens and putting. I know I am losing some distance off the tee but it's worth it to me.

I found a Bridgestone tour B RX while playing and found it performed as well as the ProV purchased a box and they were 17 dollars cheaper, I've tried different brands of Callaway balls and haven't found one yet that gives me distance and playability around the greens like Titleist Pro V and now BS B RX. 🤪🇺🇲

Tour x is going to be great Callaway has by far one of the best. Going to get away from Titleist notice some differences between ball to ball

Love vids Do ball comparison vice pro vs vice pro plus vs prov s

Ive hit with a lot of premium balls recently. I do have a few favorites, but honestly just buy whichever premium ball is on sale. Unless you're a tour player its not going to matter so much. With that said my fav ball right now is the TP5X

I hope you give us the results after you game the Chrome tour x.

Wison DUO soft is my summer ball.

Hi Matt Brilliant Video 👍, all the info I need to know when reviewing Callaway tour & ProV1(without the waffle), use ProV1x, use to use Callaway Hex Tour, didn’t like Chrome Soft (wobble balls), Sounds like Callaway are back in business with the Tour models 👍, as you said (what took them so long)🤔, like to see a review with ProV1 & TP5 next there suppose to have found a bit more speed, Thanks Dickey 77year senior golfer UK

You need to glue down your hitting strip. It bounces significantly on impact which will alter the LM data.

What's your favorite ball for the typical mid-handicapper(85-95 range)?

What about the new Chrome Soft ?

That was funny “Don’t do that”!

A lot of folks are finding higher spin with the chrome tour over the Chrome Tour x

This is all subjective I supposed and there are a lot of variables , but I have played Pro V1s since they came out and was excited to test these. I actually found that the Chrome tour was much firmer feeling than the Pro V1. From 30 yds in and around the greens, it felt like I was hitting a rock. I find it interesting that he found it to feel too soft. Even if you feel the cover with your thumb nail, it feels harder than the Pro V1. I'm gonna stick with my Pro Vs

Can’t really compare these results without clubhead speed/smash factor. Especially with driver, how do we know one carry is actually longer or if you just swung faster?

Here’s my problem, and maybe you can help me here, Matt. My gamer is the Chrome Soft X LS. I’m very nervous about switching because I’ve tested just about everything in 2023. I don’t know that either of these balls are for me. What do you think?

i feel like i’ve been seeing more critical comments of how he runs his channel but it’s really just the titles have gotten more click bait-y, yet the content is still easily digestible. i like the country club tour videos when you show the locker room and what free shit they have lol

You've got the game to spend $55/dozen ... My game is great with Kirkland ... I don't lose many golf balls in a round, but my handicap is too high to be a golf ball snob. Just saying ... Appreciate your reviews, as always!!!

I get the prov for 25 bucks a dozen half price. Best ball for me has been the ERC soft. I pay the same price for those and tp5, find a ball that works best all the way around for your game. Scores will be lower faster that way.

Add left dash to the mix

I thought that a TP5 was the best feeling golf ball I ever hit….until I hit Chrome Tour last weekend. I did find that it typically went straight even as I was drawing the ball with TP5. The other thing I saw (and subsequently have seen on other comments) is that durability isn’t great. Two sand shots and it was pretty scuffed. Really love it otherwise though

I understand what you mean by titliest is the best. But how many others have you tried? Theres too many!. Can you review the bridgestone tour BXS.? I use these. They would give ANY ball a run for its money.

The chrome soft tour X carried 156 compared to the other 3 you tested being in the 5-6 yard range of each other in that 166-172 range? Safe to say the chrome soft tour X is not the ball for players either swing speed in the range of yours. I find that interesting that the one ball out of the 4 carried so low in yardage.

I'm still gaming my Kirkland signature plus. My 19 handicap doesn't know the difference between them and a pro-v1 anyway....

I don’t know how people like the feel of Pro v1 x- it’s hard as a rock. I’m sure the Chrome tour X feels very similar

I got a video for you. I love the way you talk the way you pause. It just makes me laugh. Not making fun of the way you talk. It's just the way you talk, but I'd love to see your children if they have an imitation of you. Maybe even one of you getting mad.

I would like to know the loft of each club. The number stamped on the bottom of each club doesn't concern me regarding the statistics for each ball. The driver loft in most test cases is revealed.

You tried MAXFLI Tour ?

How it feels with the putter is extremely important. You hit that club the most. You want a ball you like the feel of or you just aren’t gonna use it.

You didn’t include club head speed. The standard deviation is too great for this to be a valid test

More spin around the greens better for our hard Arizona greens?

Idk why titalist is touted as the best ball when it isn’t, it hasn’t been objectively better in years. At this point it’s all preference, TP5s spin more than all balls, call away usually gets more distance with comparable spin to titalist, Bridgestone and srixon are also good balls. It’s all preference

Krikland all day baby.

don't underestimate the Wilson Staff Triad or the Srixon Q Star Tour . and yes I've done my own comparisons .

Are these the same as pros use or are balls especially made for pros?

Just get your current numbers put it into Pings ballnamic and it tells you the best balls for you

Consistency and tighter tolerances cost more.

Are these replacing Chrome Soft or are they new in the lineup? Also are these balls "rolled back" as per the new USGA rule?

I can’t even lie .i found a callaway chrome soft and I played it and drove the ball the rest of the day the farthest I ever have in my life .i always used mid level balls like mizuno sb556,tru feels,Kirkland (this years model )

I'll play any ball I find in the woods looking for mine...

*DESCENT* Angle 😝

Left dash is the ball .

If these balls can get some traction, they are really good. As titleist includes resale/refurbish balls in their sold ball count, no one will ever catch up to them.

I have shot a 79 with a ProV1 and a Pinnacle. It is not the ball. It is the golfer. My score was just due to how well I played that day. Longer??? Not really. I play several courses on a regular basis. I have noticed I hit the same distance no matter what ball I use. If it looks like I really hit it long, it is because I had a good swing and hit the ball on the club face where you are suppose to do.

Not sure how meaningful it is to try to do a comparison using half-swing pitch shots. There's almost certainly going to be some significant variance from swing to swing, much more so than with full swing shots.

What is the best ball for the poors? I’ve been gaming the Titleist TruFeel

If it has a Callaway stamp on it then the answer is simply no😂Hilarious

For me it's putting first than wedge than driver "don't do that" he says as I hit send..😢

Kirkland won the amateur player golf ball conversation a few years ago lol

Shot the lowest score of my life with a Top Flite, lol. I didn’t lose it during the round or even have to look for it. I am not spending $55 for a dozen balls.

Chrome Tour X . . . and you save a penny. What's not to love?

good luck in Good Good..

Snell's are very good and $20 a dozen less than the big boys.

I'm going to buy 1000 balls a year until 2030 and when the rollback happens, BINGO! ebay millionaire!

No. Geezus. 😂

Callaway or Titleist for the same price? Titleist is a no brainer.

Would rather use the callaway all day.

The price and ambient temperature largely determines a best ball for you

Those 7 iron spin numbers are way too low. What club is that?

People get fit for clubs all day long but forget to get fit for golf balls. :/

You misspelled "descent."

Maybe they are but the Callaway Chrome Soft LS (low spin) balls are the worst. Wholly crap.....they feel good but are just terrible, lol

All the numbers back to front with what companies say their balls do.

I would think it would not be worth the manufacturing cost to produce new golfballs with the rollback happening in just couple years

This episode was "decent"

Performance? The best ball? Really you should be saying the best ball for you. Last year I switched from TP5 to Vice Pro (after testing several other possibilities, figuring that I was getting older and losing a few MPH, which was costing me yardage) and picked up yardage without giving up spin around the greens or feel. Saved a ton of money too. Different swing speeds and attack angles mean that different balls work better for different people. There is no objectively “best ball.” It always comes down to best ball for the particular golfer. (Anyway, the governing bodies have screwed us with the new rules on balls anyway, so it really only matters for a few years when we’ll all have to figure it out all over again.)

Hit the ball you can afford to loose is what I say. I wouldn’t pay for higher priced if you’re loosing more than 6 in a round. Of course if you’re like the ding dongs I play with your find 5 for every 1 you loose while I’m waiting on them to get back on……..😂😂

It's just all marketing. For 99% of the golfers on the planet, the ball makes ZERO difference in their game since they're going to lose it in the next hole or two. That is a good point on brand loyalty, though. Instead of $55 for a dozen balls, spend the money on lessons.

save a penny? cmon man

The best ball is a found ball

Would never even consider a Callaway Ball. Too expensive for a non Titleist ball. Add in the crap with bad QA and out of centre cores which they only addressed after being found out all leads to a hard pass

Only a fool would pay $54 or $54. You can buy good balls for like $20. Even less. For the average golfer, the ball makes no difference. None whatsoever. Such bullshit.
