Chrome Soft “Prior Generation”

[Little Ned]

What does “Prior Generation” mean? Does that mean 2017 balls?

Something to market

[Little Ned]

Sounds like a good reason to save $15+

The prior gen CS's are great golf balls and my go to ball. I haven't hit the 2018 model yet with the graphene but will soon since I have some here, just trying to get down stock wise on the older ones.

 

I have heard great things on the new one so you should grab a sleeve of them to try anyway and stock up on a few dozen or so of the prior gen ones! :)

I will but I’m gonna go through the 2 dozen Truvis pink I just bought. Plus, I may buy more at that price.

Thirty a dozen is a pretty good price on last year's model, which was my 'gamer' until new ones came out.

 

I find the new ones spin a little better, sound better (to me) off the putter and are longer off driver than previous model. Great balls IMO.

I wanted to line these balls. I just can’t. I seem to really lose distance off the tee with them. Am I the only one?

I have 9 dozen 2016 version and it has become my gamer especially for tournaments.

 

Only thing it doesn't do well is it seems to lose distance hitting Driver or fairway metal into a headwind. Not a big deal I guess for how often it happens but twice this weekend once on Saturday and once on Sunday I hit great drives that came up 20 yards short of where my other game, 2017 Srixon XV would have been on a similar shot.

 

I may tinker with the CSX and see if it handles the wind a tad better. Or I might pick up some Chrome Speed that are currently available for $22 a dozen. I really like the Truvis style so I might start with the CSX.
