HEX Black Tour and HEX Chrome Win Gold Medals, Earn High Performance Ratings

Golf Digest 2012 Hot List Golf Balls

Callaway’s new HEX Black Tour and HEX Chrome Golf Balls earned gold medals and garnered rave reviews in Golf Digest’s 2012 Hot List Golf Ball Issue. Both balls were recognized for their Tour level performance and received high scores for innovation. Callaway Golf Balls won four gold medals overall.  

HEX Black Tour is designed for Optimized Tour Performance and panelists were particularly impressed with its dual core construction. “Why one ball?” one Hot List contributor asked. “Because the idea was to make a ball faster than the firm core Tour iZ and softer than the soft cover Tour iS. We approve.” This ball also features HEX Aerodynamics, is highly durable and delivers six points of performance that help make it our most highly engineered Tour Ball ever. HEX Black Tour is available at retail now.

Golf Digest gave HEX Chrome a perfect score of 5-stars in the performance category.. “In all the right ways, HEX Chrome is a Tour Ball,” the magazine said. “In one way, though, it thankfully isn’t: price.” Designed to provide Tour level performance for golfers with moderate swings speeds, this ball has super soft feel, a DuraSpin Cover that significantly improves durability and an s-Tech Core that allows for penetrating distance. HEX Chrome is now available at retail.

HX Diablo Tour and HX Diablo Golf Balls also performed extremely well, winning gold medals for the second consecutive year. HX Diablo Tour earned a near perfect score for innovation and one panelist commented, “A reliable performer on full swings, it gives what golfers want from their tee shots: high launch and low spin.” HX Diablo stood out for its spectacular feel and Golf Digest said, “This is a distance ball with a soft feel that doesn’t become mushy. That’s no easy feat.”
