I picked up these golf balls at the store for two main reasons: it's price and it's design. A box of 24 usually costs around $40 at most stores and I eagerly wanted to try out this new hex-dimple design that Callaway offers now.


The golf ball itself is made up of three layers; each one designed to focus on high ball speed, softer feel, and low driver spin with more wedge spin respectively. And of course there's those eye-catching hexagons.


I tried out this ball on my recent 18-hole outing and the ball did not disappoint. I added about 5-10 yards on my driver, wood, and hybrid shots on average and hit the ball a lot more straighter with them. However, there wasn't much difference with my iron shots. My wedge shots from around the greens did have more spin also and there wasn't much difference with the putting.


I also noticed that when I struck the golf ball pure and flush (you know those shots that you hit so well that you can't feeling yourself hitting the golf ball) the golf ball went dead straight and even farther, compared to when I've hit other balls pure and flush. It's also forgiving too, for those times when you don't hit that perfect shot. The shell of the ball is also pretty rugged, I landed one hard on an asphalt cart path and was surprised to find that aside from a black mark, the ball was perfectly fine, no dents, cracks, or anything.


There's also a rumor that these balls are just re-branded Callaway Hex Hot Pro balls. I haven't tried out the Hex Hot Pros yet, so I'm not going to comment on it as of now.


All in all though, this is a great golf ball and a definite buy considering the price and results from using it. Good for all skill levels!

  2. Tried these balls for the first time yesterday and had the best round of the season. Unfortunately this ball travelled further than the hex hots I have been using and I flew a few greens that I normally would not. Was consistently driving 15-20 yards further than normal. I did not believe previous reviews of this ball which made this claim but I am convinced that this ball is further than anything else I have hit.

  3. Those are great results, good to hear the ball is working for you! I was a bit skeptical with this ball too, but results don't lie, it's as simple as that.
