Hex Black Tour

Recommended Posts

Haven't played a Callaway ball since the Tour I series balls, but I got a free sleeve of these when I picked up a headcover for a fairway wood. What can I compare this to in terms of spin? I currently go back and forth between TM Lethal and Pro V1X, but have a bunch of TP Black LDP balls that I am going to give a run this spring to see if they can be a cheaper alternative. I took one out of the sleeve and they feel extremely tacky and soft. Would this be closer to a regular Pro V1 maybe?

Hex Black Tour is a five piece ball, similar to TM Lethal or previous Penta series. You should find it to be low spin of driver and longer irons, then higher spin with short irons and wedges. Some, including myself, find Hex Black to be a bit firm compared to other premium balls, such as Pro V1x or Lethal.

I have only played one or two rounds with Hex Black, so I can't share much more about it.

Personally, I find that the Chrome and Chrome + are better balls than the Hex Black depending on swing speed.

The hex black tours showed up at my Costco for $24.99. Played a sleeve yesterday and was very impressed. Low driver spin and did not lose distance with my 102 driver swing. Great spin on wedges and short game chips but be aware of the hard clicky feel.

Agree with everything he said. My driver ss is about 108. The ball goes a long way. For sure has a firm feel. I played them early last year and picked up some more with the costco deal recently. I do like the feel of the chrome + a little better

I too have found all of the above to be correct. I got a couple for free when they were first released and liked everything except hard feel off the putter. I now play chrome + which has a better feel then the Black but still has all the good things. Blacks were also not as durable as Chrome +.

They aren't durable as many other balls, and they are a little clicky off the putter, but I find them to have the best combination of low spin off the driver and high spin on short irons and around the greens - for my game. I didn't find any of the SR series to be comparable.

[sub]I still have several from last year and keep them in the bag , love everything about them but the feel off the putter is a bit harsh. I only use them if I have a milled face or insert putter in play.[/sub]
