Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball
I do really like this golf ball. A golf ball that is definitely more suited to faster swinging players. If you are able to utilise the Callaway Chrome Tour then you will unlock a nice, soft feel around the greens as well as top-level short game control on the putting surface.
Additionally, the performance with the driver in hand was equally as impressive with strong distances on offer. I’ve always been under the impression that you can’t go wrong with a Callaway golf ball and that is the case again here with this latest offering.
Pros:
- Exceptional short-game spin
- Soft yet responsive feel
- Low driver spin for optimal distance
- Excellent control and stopping power
Cons:
- Premium price point
- Slightly lower mid-iron distance compared to competitors

Callaway Chrome Tour X
This really is a quality golf ball. Available in multiple different design options I suspect that a few tour pros will have this in the bag at some point this season. The levels of control and spin when hitting into the greens with a wedge or an iron was fantastic.
Additionally, the performance off the tee was equally as impressive. Fast ball speed allowed for impressive distances with the driver. This is a premium golf ball and Callaway’s best one yet.
Pros:
- Unmatched spin rates, especially on wedge shots
- Excellent control with irons
- High-quality urethane cover for great greenside performance
- Fast ball speeds off the driver
Cons:
- Slightly higher launch on drives (may not suit high-ball hitters)
- Not the absolute longest ball available

Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond
I think golfers with quicker swing speeds will definitely benefit from the Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball more than a club golfer. It offers fast ball speeds and optimal spin rates for long distances. Additionally there is plenty of control available when it matters around the greens.
If you’re looking to break away from whatever your normal tall ball is, you cannot go wrong with Callaway this year. These are epic.
Pros:
- Exceptional driver performance
- Consistent iron and wedge spin
- Tour-quality manufacturing
Cons:
- Firm feel may not be for everyone

Callaway Supersoft golf ball
If you’re a club golfer with a moderate swing speed then this is a great budget-friendly golf ball option. I found it performed really well in key areas, in and around the green in particular.
Off the tee, the performance was also well balanced and perfectly suitable for your average club golfer. Considering the price and the target audience you will do well to find a better golf ball for everyday use.

Pros:
- Quality greenside performance
- Fast ball speed with the driver
- High launch

Callaway Reva golf ball
Given the oversized nature of the Reva golf ball, I was interested to see what it would look like at address, but actually, it is pretty hard to tell by eye that this has a larger diameter than a standard ball.
Some cheaper golf balls on the market are known for their harsh feel around the greens, this could not be less true of the Reva golf ball, which feels remarkably soft off the face around the greens. I would say it doesn’t spin as much on short shots as a urethane golf ball but if you don’t generate spin on chips and pitch shots you aren’t really losing out here.
Interestingly the dispersion was very consistent with 7-iron. I think this comes down to the larger size of the golf ball.
The theory behind the tech is pretty simple, the larger size makes it easier to hit the middle of the face. This means the centre of gravity of the club stays below the centre of the ball, helping you launch the ball higher.
Overall, this was a really consistent golf ball. I loved the soft feel around the greens and how easy it was to hit. I can see how playing a ball like this would help higher handicappers play more consistently.
Pros:
- Great for slower swinging golfers
- Bigger size is great for consistency
- Great value for money
Cons:
- Only suits one group of golfers

The Callaway Mavrik golf ball combines affordability, toughness, and distance in a well-balanced package. It is designed for golfers who want dependable performance without worrying about damaging or losing expensive premium balls. Its low-spin and high-launch characteristics make it a solid performer from tee to green.

For everyday golfers seeking a straightforward, distance-boosting ball that doesn’t compromise too much on control, the Mavrik is a superb choice.
Pros:
- Provides excellent distance through low spin and high launch
- Features a helpful alignment logo
- Consistent and stable flight across all clubs

How do we test golf balls?
At National Club Golfer, we are passionate about producing accurate and thorough reviews and make sure our testing process is rigorous so we get a good understanding of how each ball performs.
Jack Backhouse, our resident golf professional and face of the NCG YouTube channel Your Golf, tested over 40 golf balls during February/March 2025.
Each golf ball was tested on a putting surface and around the greens before collecting data on 50 yard pitch shots, with a 7-iron and with a driver.
What is important when buying a new golf ball?
Feel
Golf ball feel is a personal preference. Different balls on the market will feel softer or firmer depending on their compression and structure. It is crucial to test balls when putting, chipping and hitting long game shots to check you like the performance across all areas.

Distance
How far you want to hit the golf ball is a crucial consideration when picking a brand and model. Getting the right compression relative to your swing speed and strike will help you get the maximum distance out of a golf ball. You also need to consider if getting maximum distance is important to you or if you would rather give up some yardage to gain in other areas.
Spin
Generally, lower handicappers are looking for a ball that spins more so they can get more control around the greens. In this case, getting a ball with a urethane cover is really important as it will give you the most spin and control.
Price
Not everyone wants to spend £50 a dozen on golf balls. When picking the right golf ball for you, you should consider how much you want to spend relative to what performance you want.
