That’s why the guts of Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X seem as different from each other as two balls from two different brands. But to Callaway, different players need fundamentally different ball designs. $48 ▶ Most families of multilayer urethane balls are similar with minor tweaks to thickness or firmness. Faster swings get a softer (XS) and firmer choice (X), while those at less than 105 miles per hour (including, for perspective, Fred Couples) can choose the firmer RX or the softer RXS. The four models again target two swing speed classes with two feel options for each. But on the slower impacts like chips, it’s a shock absorber, which enhances spin.

So on high-speed full shots, it helps the urethane lose less energy. Called “Reactiv,” it’s Using a mixture of what are called impact modifiers, the urethane on these balls is designed to behave differently depending on the force of contact.

But Bridgestone, which has access to more than 900 engineers (a helpful asset when you’re designing balls for Bryson DeChambeau and Tiger Woods, two of pro golf’s more discerning minds), developed a new element to add to its urethane cover. Quite the opposite, as the grabby polymer is more essential to helping short shorts spin than long shots go far. $45 ▶ Typically, what makes a multilayer ball fast is not the urethane in the cover. In reality, all scores were consistently higher in the Urethane ball category.) Finally, this year, through our player assessment we have a Feel assessment, which is not a grade but a description of the relative softness or firmness of each ball on the list. (Each star rating is relative to the specific ball category, so for example, a 5-star rating in Non-Urethane balls does not equal a 5-star rating in Urethane balls. Demand, based on our review of the marketplace success and consumer enthusiasm, accounts for 5 percent of the score. Innovation, which is our assessment of each ball’s technology and each company’s manufacturing rigor and sophistication along with a company’s commitment to ball fitting, represents 30 percent of the score. Performance, which is based on player evaluations of golf balls (with all identifying marks blacked out) and a review of robot testing conducted by Golf Laboratories and using Foresight GC Quad launch monitors, accounts for 65 percent of the score. One other change this year: Our star ratings now reflect three scores that comprise the total evaluation of each entry. As always, let the Hot List help you start that process. In the end, it’s the shot that matters most to you-off the tee, into the green, around and on the green-that should dictate which is the right ball for you. All of which makes it clear that you should find the ball that resonates with you the most in the short shots (assuming there is one) and then make sure it doesn’t compromise any other shots from tee to green. Now, will every average golfer notice those differences? Our research in that area is not as clear. Our data from players and robot testing by Golf Laboratories using the Foresight GC Quad launch monitor shows that with short wedge shots, the urethane cover balls, which are the construction played exclusively by tour players, have a distinct advantage in spin. That’s why this year, we’re separating our list into just two categories: Urethane Cover and Non-Urethane Cover. Those numbers have shown us that there is a distinct difference between two kinds of golf ball designs.

“It is not uncommon for us to send a customer out to find the ball that works best for them within 150 yards, and then we might refit the driver based on that ball.” Still, there is no doubt that the launch monitor numbers provide direction.

“We believe golf balls should be fit by the customer’s own spin needs within 150 yards,” says Bo Hodnett of Golf Tech, a Golf Digest Best Clubfitter in Plano, Texas. The right one for you, though, goes beyond our recommendations and rests squarely in your hands.
