+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The New Callaway TOURi (S) ball was just revealed at the HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. Two of the top 3 players put it into play for the first time, Ernie Els & Ryan Moore. Golf.com's David Dusek recently broke the story. The early skinny on this ball is that it's the softest ball Callaway has ever produced. That's pretty cool but Soft Balls are not the friendliest right? Well Callaway has taken that problem into account and made this new 4 piece ball with a different compression on the inner than the outer core what Callaway claims this does sounds like music to my ears. The ball in theory is supposed to put a lot of spin on iron and wedge shots while putting very little spin on drives. Key Points: 1. Callaway's Softest Golf Ball 2. Callaway's Softest Spinning Golf Ball Around the Green 3. Spin Separation ( low spin in longer shots, high spin & excellent touch for shorter shots ) Steve Ogg, Callaway's vice president of ball R&D claims this to be " The most highly-engineered golf ball product we have ever come out with. " Can this be? The Ball's of all Ball's or is Mr. Ogg just doing his job? Normally I would say its the latter but what are the odds that 2 of the top 3 guys in the ball's inaugural event claim its superior to anything else out there. "I started playing a new golf ball that Callaway made," Els said. "This is what I've been looking forward to, is this golf ball. It would have been unbelievable if I could have won with this ball. It would have been great for Callaway and myself. I'm looking forward to the future now, and I think my equipment is now spot on." Pretty interesting and I personally can't wait to give this ball a try, I am a big fan of softer covered balls because I like the way they react with the scoring clubs but I do drive the ball much better with harder low spin balls. The real question is can this ball do everything they say it will. More info to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Taylor made TP Red (4 piece ball) they still don't come close to the Pro Vs maybe i got used to it already?? As for the TP red i find it lighter than other 3 piece and 4 piece balls. Has anyone felt the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelaand Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I play the Bridgestone Tour B330S and like it so much better than the ProV. BUT, the new Callaway i (S) is intriguing and will have to make an appearance soon in my bag. Are they in the proshop yet, or soon. Guess I had better check it out.

Blader-X Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Not to state the obvious here, but balls will be the response to the new groove rule set forth by golf's governing bodies. That is until golf's governing bodies start to begin to address golf ball design. This ball does look very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is until golf's governing bodies start to begin to address golf ball design. This ball does look very promising. But how will it work with the old grooves? Wouldn't it spin too much?
