Callaway Chrome Soft
Callaway Chrome Soft Graphene has been called the strongest material ever tested, even warranting a Nobel Prize. It’s infused into this ball’s core, to gain both speed and launch angle with low spin off the tee — for behemoth distance. Approaching greens, it bites quickly, and it feels soft the entire way. $45; callawaygolf.com PHOTO BY GREG MILANO
