The Callaway Golf Company has introduced its HEX Black Tour golf ball. Callaway says the ball yields distance-enhancing low spin off the tee. The balls features a dual core construction, dual mantle, DuraSpin cover and HEX Aerodynamics. The new balls will be available March 2nd for $45.99 per dozen.
Callaway says the dual core construction maximizes the compression difference between the inner and outer core layers. The soft inner core helps reduce spin off the tee for more distance, while the high compression outer core creates higher spin closer to the green. Callaway also says its Hex Aerodynamics means 100 percent surface area coverage on a golf ball, compared to the 88% coverage of traditional round dimples on a regular golf ball.
Callaway Golf staff professional Phil Mickelson says, "I've had more fun working on my game with the new HEX Black Tour ball than I have in years because I've been able to hit shots around the green that I haven’t been able to hit since the ’90s with wound balls. The amazing thing to me is the spin separation; how this ball spins so much from 40 yards in, and yet spins so little off the driver and goes so far. I've never seen a ball with that combination of short-range control and distance."
