Callaway 2026 Chrome Soft Golf Balls (Dozen)

The 2026 Callaway Chrome Soft is a $57.99 three piece urethane ball with a new Tour Fast Mantle, built for the softest feel and highest launch in Callaway’s Chrome line.

Why it made the list

Callaway’s 2026 Chrome family shares a new mantle, and the Chrome Soft is the version for players who want a soft feel and a higher flight. GOLF.com describes it as the more amateur friendly tour level option, with the highest launch and softest feel of the three Chrome balls. In MyGolfSpy’s 2026 low speed driver test at about 85 mph, it finished within a yard of the longest ball. For a slower swinging golfer who still chips with spin, that makes it a real premium choice.

What it does well

• The new Tour Fast Mantle uses a material that Callaway says adds distance through an optimized core and layer system.
• A tour level urethane cover is built for shot stopping wedge control with a soft feel.
• Callaway’s aerodynamic package and precision manufacturing aim for flight that repeats ball after ball.
• Callaway rates its long game spin as low and its short game spin as higher, the split better players want.

Who it’s for

It suits mid and low handicappers who swing at moderate speeds, seniors who were strong players and want urethane spin with a soft feel, and golfers who lose few balls and use their wedges to score.

Who should skip it

At $57.99 a dozen it costs the same as a Pro V1, about $4.83 a ball. Golfers who lose three or more balls a round, or who don’t hit enough greens with a wedge to use the spin, get nearly the same distance from a $25 ionomer ball like the Titleist TruFeel. Fast swingers who want a firmer, lower flight should look at the Chrome Tour or Chrome Tour X.

Key specs, explained

Golf Monthly reports a three piece build for the Chrome Soft, against four pieces for the Chrome Tour and Tour X. Testers put its compression around 75 to 77, well under a Pro V1, which helps moderate swings load it. Urethane covers are softer and grippier than ionomer, which is where the greenside spin comes from.

How it compares

The Callaway Chrome Tour Golf Balls (Dozen) costs the same $57.99 and has a firmer feel and lower launch for faster swings. The Bridgestone 2026 Tour B RXS Golf Balls (Dozen) costs $54.99 and is another soft tour ball for swings under 105 mph, with more of a spin focus. The Chrome Soft is the higher launching of the two soft options.

Good to know

Callaway sells the 2026 Chrome Soft in white and yellow, with Triple Track, TruTrack and a 360 Triple Track option that only the Chrome Soft gets this year. In early November callawaygolf.com offered two dozen Chrome balls for $100. The catalog also lists a double dozen of the previous Chrome Soft at Golfballs.com.
