Tour Fast Mantle Technology Increases Ball Speed
The new Chrome lineup features a revolutionary Tour Fast Mantle with 16% higher flex modulus compared to previous materials. The mantle increases ball speed by acting like a stiffer spring at impact.
According to Callaway Golf, this represents the first time this material has been used in a golf ball. The advanced core/layer system delivers faster performance than previous materials used in Callaway designs.
The Tour Fast Mantle works as part of the core/layer system to optimise energy transfer at impact. The 16% increase in flex modulus quantifies the material’s enhanced spring-like properties compared to previous generations.
Callaway Chrome Technology Features
| Technology | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Tour Fast Mantle | 16% higher flex modulus, acts like stiffer spring at impact | Increased ball speed (industry-first material) |
| Seamless Tour Aero | Optimised Hybrid Aero Pattern | Distance and flight consistency |
| Tour Urethane Cover | High-performance urethane material | Exceptional feel and greenside control |
| Precision Technology | Advanced manufacturing process | Maximised performance throughout game |
Seamless Tour Aero Delivers Flight Consistency
The Chrome lineup features Callaway’s Seamless Tour Aero with an Optimised Hybrid Aero Pattern. The aerodynamic design provides distance and flight consistency.
The seamless construction eliminates potential inconsistencies from traditional seam patterns. The hybrid aero pattern optimises dimple design for stable flight characteristics across different swing speeds.
According to Callaway, the aerodynamic system delivers incredible distance alongside consistent ball flight. The technology works with the Tour Fast Mantle to maximise overall performance.
Tour Urethane Cover Provides Greenside Control
All three models feature a high-performance Tour Urethane cover. The cover material provides exceptional feel and greenside control.
The Tour Urethane construction delivers spin performance on approach shots and around the green. The cover works with the mantle and core system to balance distance with short game control.
Precision Technology manufacturing ensures consistent quality across production. According to Callaway, the process is engineered to maximise performance throughout the game from driver through wedges.

Chrome Tour Mid-Spin Profile for Distance and Control
Chrome Tour is designed for players seeking incredible speed and distance off the tee with a mid-spin profile. The model provides the best combination of distance, consistent flight and greenside control.
The mid-spin characteristics balance distance on full shots with control around the green. The Tour Fast Mantle delivers ball speed whilst the Tour Urethane cover maintains short game performance.
According to Callaway, Chrome Tour suits golfers prioritising both distance and greenside spin. The model provides tour-level performance across all aspects of the game.
Chrome Tour X Offers Maximum Workability
Chrome Tour X is designed for players seeking maximum speed off the tee with a mid-high spin profile through the bag. The model emphasises maximum workability for shot shaping.
The mid-high spin profile provides increased trajectory control compared to Chrome Tour. Players can shape shots more effectively with the additional spin characteristics.
The model suits advanced players who prioritise shot-shaping capability alongside distance. The Tour Fast Mantle delivers maximum speed whilst the spin profile supports shot control.
Chrome Soft Combines Tour Performance with Soft Feel
Chrome Soft is designed for players seeking Tour ball benefits with increased launch and soft feel. The model features a lower full shot spin profile for longer distance.
The lower spin on full shots maximises distance whilst maintaining incredible greenside control. The soft feel at impact differentiates Chrome Soft from firmer Tour ball constructions.
According to Callaway, Chrome Soft provides Tour ball performance characteristics in a softer-feeling package. The model suits players prioritising feel alongside distance and control.
Precision Technology Ensures Manufacturing Consistency
