Callaway Golf Tour I Golf Balls
Specs

Since joining the golf ball category, Callaway Golf has established itself as one of the top brands in the industry. After focusing on clubs and other equipment, Callaway introduced a new line a golf balls that utilized HEX aerodynamics. Two of Callaway's most popular balls currently on the market are the Tour and HX Hot series. In addition, the HX Pearl is designed exclusively for women, while the Big Bertha Diablo and Warbird offer consumers more budget-friendly options.

Perks

Callaway's golf ball lines attract players of different skill levels and are constructed with HEX aerodynamics, which reduces drag and promotes an efficient ball flight. Callaway Tour series boasts a dual core, four-piece construction allowing for enhanced distance and feel around the greens. The HX Hot series is a tremendous mid-priced option that offers a high-speed core ensuring users with maximum distance, while the Big Bertha Diablo and Warbird provide extreme value and durability.

Sacrifices

Although it's not as common on models like the Big Bertha Diablo and Warbird, Callaway's high-end balls are prone to easy scuffing and might lack durability, particularly when used by less experienced golfers. The Tour series features a polyurethane cover, which gives it a tremendously soft feel but is extremely prone to abrasions. The Big Bertha Diablo and Warbird balls lack the softness desired by many low to mid handicappers.

Bottom Line

Much like their clubs and other equipment, Callaway's golf balls reach a wide variety of users and cater to each individual's skill level, from beginners to professionals. Additionally, with prices ranging from $19.99-$39.99 per dozen, consumers are able to find a ball suitable for their budget.

How to Give Your Golf Clubs a Tuneup
by John D. Tudor
During the course of a year, an avid golfer's clubs are swung anywhere between 18,000 and 20,000 times, carried or hauled on a golf cart for about 3,000 miles, roughly handled another 1,000 times, tossed about the trunk of a car for over 20,000 miles and swung in a variety of less-than-perfect situations involving low-hanging branches, rocks and hardpan. Obviously, the stress and strain a golf club endures goes far beyond that for which it's designed, so now is the perfect time to examine your woods and irons and, if necessary, get them back into playing shape.
