Will Someone Please Explain Why This Cheap Ball Works So Good For Me???? (Costco Callaway Hex)

[zebra2955]

what is the difference between this ball and the Diablo tour ?

[drrodge]

I found a Tour Soft on the course and used it for fun to take the short cut over water on a dog leg. Made it for the first time! I played the ball for the next few holes and made the 18th par 5 in 2 for my first time ever. I like them, like them a lot!. I found this thread while trying to find out the price, wow they are cheap too!!

[dee87]

found one of these and was pleasantly surprised as well

If it didn't feel like I was hitting a rock with the putter, I would play Callaway Warbird exclusively. I don't care as much about the spin around the greens because I hit the ball 10 miles in the air anyway. If anybody has used these, would you say the ball characteristics are similar to Warbird only softer? If so, I might have to try them out. Also, the Srixon AD333 was a great ball back in the day for me.

I've been told by a very reliable source that "The Hex Tour Soft is actually a really good ball". Closest in performance to it would be the Superhot, both being 3pc Surlyn.> @Hellstorm said:

As soon as I figure that same question out with my remaining Wilson 50 Elite, I'm going to try these out and see if I can answer yours. To my best guess it just seems that sometimes the swing matches the ball so well, it doesn't matter how much the ball sold for.

I haven't been playing much lately, as work has been my main focus...

Long story short, I have sales #'s to hit before fiscal year ends (12/27/19)

Will be a cool $10k if I can achieve it (should be no problem)

BUT... I did play yesterday in an annual fundraiser the course does, & STILL love this ball..

Even my buddy is still playing it, whom I mentioned in my original posts...

Great ball for the price, & I will be loyal to it until it's not available!

(I will be slowly hoarding)

Many years back I played a Lynx Black Cat ball. Loved it. It was long and I would really spin it with my wedges...all kinds of big zips back on the green, much to the amusement of my playing partners back then.

Like this ball better than the Ksig and K3, so I just took 2 boxes back today. So if your in Naperville there a box of Ksigs in the store somewhere. lol!

As for the Callaway Tour Soft, I would compare them to the Callaway Hex Softs that Costco had a few years ago. They work well around the greens and seem to be straighter than the K3's. I also would put then up against Titilist Tours Soft,

I just bought a couple boxes this morning($14 off), to be shipped. Then I walked into the Naperville store and there is(was) a pallet sitting on the floor. Grabbed my order again then off to the service desk to cancel the online order. I'm go to go for 2020.

I'm still using, & loving these balls as well...

Haven't a clue as to how many I have left!

But I haven't been playing due to a work priority right now (2 more weeks & should merit a $15k bonus) So I'm a little focused on that...

I know this goes against most WRX'ers... But from top to bottom... Bag is SET for next year!!

[pepperonipies]

Reviving this - I haven't paid too much attention to its performance, but one thing I'd note is its durability seems on the poorer side to me. It's easy to find parts of the cover peeling despite hitting only grass. That being said, haven't minded too much for under $1 a ball...

[HyzerFlipDG]

Hey i have played a ton of balls and have played many of thr tour urethane balls, but i keep going back to the Top Flite Hammer Control. All of my best scores, except one, are with that ball.

[grm24]

All but one of your best scores is from a new ball that was only introduced/released 4+ months ago? How much has your index dropped?

[phil75070]

The Hex Tour Soft is such a cheap ball that still performs exceptionally well that I use it on holes where there is a lot of trouble and losing a ball is a strong possibility. I may give up just a little in performance but I don't mind losing a ball this cheap compared to a premium ball.

[HyzerFlipDG]

I just came back to golf in January after a 15 year absence. This also includes playing 3-4 courses regularly that id never played previously.

I went from shooting around 95-104 to now shooting 80-85 everywhere I play. I used to shoot around 82-88 before so it took me a few months to get back to my previous level.

 

[FakeClubPro]

I am wondering if Hex Tour is private model for Costco and the Diablo Tour is a private model for Dicks/Golf Galaxy and they are the same ball?

[zebra2955]

I was wondering the same thing myself. I have played both and there is not any difference in my opinion

[Justsomeguy]

Checks out.

[zebra2955]

Looking at the description of these 2 balls I have to believe they are the same

[phil75070]

IIRC, Callaway's Director of Golf Ball Marketing told me the Hex Tour Soft is a very good ball, with the SuperHot being the closest to it.

[rbark11]

Does anyone know if Costco has stopped selling these balls? They were on their site last week, but now they don’t show up

[pepperonipies]

IIRC they sold out and have been for a while ever since their "2 dozen for $59" sale.

[rbark11]

they were back in stock a couple of days ago, but even when those balls were out of stock, the product page is still on website and it just says “out of stock”. But now the product page doesn’t even show up

[pepperonipies]

Hm beats me...IME some local stores near me always have stock in Kirkland/Callaway balls, so if you haven't already, I would recommend visiting one (if possible).
