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.
