bignige Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I have been lucky enough to get hold of on of the new Callaway Tour balls that is due to be releast June/July 05 The Callaway rep said these balls are very rare at the minute as he only had 3 dozen to give out, the most noticable thing i could see with the design is that it has 6 hex dimples which are much deeper than the others,they are equally spaced out around the ball -- " these deeper dimples are supposed to help reduce drag & the cover is to be sheer proof". the ball has been called <HX TOUR 56> which the rep. told me is not actually going to be the name of the ball when it's releast later on -- in fact he said Callaway have not made up their minds on what the ball will be called !! So as you can guess i have not taken it out on the course to play with it as i wouldn't want to hook out of bounds on the first hole !! BTW you wanna see the new X18 Tour's they are the "Muts Nuts" apparently only 1600 set are to come into Europe -- what's that all about ?
