6 MEMBERS WANTED: Attend an Exclusive Callaway Chrome Soft Event in Chicopee, Massachusetts!

[Bece2117]

I am in within the 100 mile radius and having grown up in the shadows of the company that claims to be "the ball" I would love to see how the ball that changed "that ball" is made, thanks!!!

[Jvgraz14]

I am within the area and have recently switched to the chrome soft from the Nike RZN and would love to see how my new favorite ball is made and get to test it even more extensively

[prorobo]

Hmm 74 miles away. As a mainly ProV loyalist, I'd be interested to see how the Chrome Soft performs and the technology utilized in its creation.

[ShowMe]

Wow, I'm from there (well, Springfield, which is right next door)! Grew up playing Chicopee Country Club, a Geoffrey Cornish design. Great public course! Western MA has many great courses, including several Donald Ross designs.

 

Live in the South now but will be back up that way in early October, so count me in.

[Togatown22]

I'm just a touch over 100 miles away (118 to be exact according to google maps), but I can cruise out the Mass Pike to Chicopee no problem! I've been very tempted by the Chrome Soft, especially this year's version. I haven't hit it yet, last year's version was a bit too short for me vs ProV1X. I would love to see how these balls are made!

[msobel]

because in order to "be the ball" you gotta know what's inside it! big hitter the Lama... so i got that going for me.

 

would love to come!!!

[herbstjc]

I live within 50 miles. I never thought that a ball could be so responsive. I would love to see how they are made.

[LeoD213]

I've played these balls for a year, very pleased would love to go behind the scenes.

[CTM]

I live within the 100 Miles and it would be cool to go

[DukeJF]

I am in....live close and would love the chance

[Konklifer]

Will there be any tour van in Rio

 

I'm 85 miles away and loving the 2016 Chrome Soft yellow.

[Mattyg_27]

I just started playing the Chrome Soft after years of playing a ProV1x. I am amazed by the soft feel and control around the greens that this ball offers. I would love to learn about what makes it behave the way it does. Being able to see this ball in production and learn more about Callaway's new SoftFast core and other technology that is being used would be quite the experience to say the least.

[GunnersFan]

I'm local. Would love to see Callaway in action!

[JJCOOP7]

Oh yea Im in

[kevinpast]

I switched to the Chrome Soft ball about a year ago and have never looked back! I live less than one hour from the factory and would love to learn more about the team at Callaway and see how the balls are made.

 

Hopefully I will see you in October!

[JKBoston]

What? I love surprises. Especially special ones. Count me in.

 

I'm also a huge fan of the 16 seasons of "How Its Made" on the Science Channel, a huge fan of golf related activities on a Tuesday, a huge fan of rounds of golf on Wednesdays, and I absolutely love breakfast.

 

I also love the Chrome Soft golf ball (in all colors and color schemes, but not all shapes, unfortunately).

How do I sign up?

To apply you MUST be:

• a GolfWRX member - I am a golfWRX member, how handy is that?
  
• live within 100 miles of Chicopee, MA - I live in Foxborough, MA. If I take i-90 West, its 102 miles, bummer......but wait! Thanks to trusty google maps and my inherently sneaky nature, I would hop on I-495 first, cutting the trip to 89.2 miles. Qualified!
  
• willing to drive (round trip) to the golf ball plant. Foregone conclusion. Vacation day booked from work and permission even secured from the wife after I painted the kid's bedroom over the last week. Half the folks on this forum know their wife is going to veto this trip. I play the long game and build up a reserve of brownie points with the good lady for precisely this sort of eventuality. A strategic thinker is clearly needed for this trip.
  
• ​In a post below, state why you want to see how Callaway Makes The Ball That Changed The Ball - Because I love the Callaway Chrome soft. Especially the Truvis. The ball is a great ball, low spin off the tee and high for approach. And the Truvis gives me a great end-over-end pattern that lets me know I have struck a putt well without having to spend hours marking up my balls or buying a special tool for marking. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Dave Peltz (https://www.pelzgolf.com/dave_pelz_golf_pro_shop/_PelzLearningAids.aspx?aid=14). And I'll bring the 400 balls I've collected this season, including mint pro v1's and others that I refuse to even put into play in practice rounds because they just don't match up. We can blow them up like the Bartman ball! I also think that having someone born and having lived for 30+ years in Scotland will lend a degree of history, dignity, gravitas and authenticity to the event. And I'll wear a kilt. I'm serious.
  

[jimb6golf]

Sounds interesting to see how a ball is manufactured. And even more to talk to guys who develop the balls and then play using the CS against my Snell MTB (although I also use the CS ball). Who's picking up the tab for the hotel?

[mezz245]

I live in Mass and would love the chance to see how the balls are made.

[mcc0819]

I'm in! I'll drive/fly/walk whatever it takes to get there if I get picked. Thank you!

[rcain1us]

I live 95 miles from Chicopee and have been playing Chromesofts for two seasons over the Prov1x.

 

I would love to see how they are made

[kkennedy]

Driving to the location will not be a problem. I would love to give the Chrome Soft a fair shot considering I think its time to move on from my incumbent ProV1x.

[golfer4ev]

The only ball I use; The only clubs I use:

[Sandman67]

Wow! Great opportunity Callaway! About 90 miles for me, easy drive. It's going to be hard to move from Titleist. I've been hitting them since '85. If you have a better ball I would like you to convince me.

 

Thanks!

[rileyprather]

I just saw this video thanks to National Left Handers Day!

 

If this doesn't get folks fired up for a trip to Chicopee, I don't know what will!

[lawlgolf2278]

86 miles and I definitely want to go. Toured the factory in california as a kid, had my own set of small custom big berthas and now I used Callaway XR's. Love the Turvis Chromesoft and definitely want to see how they are made!

[Augustok]

Within 100 miles. Sounds interesting.

[aabcuue]

Would love to attend. Have played multiple versions of Callaway balls over the years including ChromeSoft.

 

Definitely want to see mfgring after seeing the usga test callway balls. Have enjoyed the tech evolution of the golf ball.

 

Can stay nearby in ct w/ relatives or drive from home.

[pdcgolf]

Count me in! I'm close!

[nexter]

I live within 100 miles (around 75) of Chicopee, MA and would love to see how they make their golf balls. Mainly because I work in the plastics industry and always wondered exactly how they make golf balls, although I think I have had an idea already. I have played ProV1's and many other golf balls and have heard nothing but good things about the Chrome Softs.
