Callaway HX Tour

The HX Tour golf ball features Callaway Golf's patented HEX Aerodynamics rather than a traditional dimple pattern. This proprietary aerodynamic pattern is a system of crisscrossing tubes that forms a series of hexagons and pentagons covering 100 percent of the golf ball's surface area. This uninterrupted pattern has no land area - the flat spot between dimples on traditional golf balls - and virtually no seam area. This greatly reduces drag and makes the ball more aerodynamic and steady throughout its flight, helping to create a strong trajectory with greater distance and more stability, even in windy conditions. And the lack of a visible seam helps eliminate "phantom fliers" and other inconsistencies that can occur when a dimpled ball is launched with its seams perpendicular to the ground. 

The HX Tour Golf Ball has a second-generation application of the HEX Aerodynamics that is even more advanced than the original. Improved manufacturing processes have allowed Callaway Golf to make the pattern crisper and more efficient, adding a new level of consistent performance on all types of shots. A new, thinner cover also contributes to the HX Tour's outstanding performance. At just 25 thousandths of an inch thick, the thinner cover reduces spin on driver shots and allows for an even larger mantle to increase potential distance. The HX Tour also has a stronger urethane cover for outstanding durability and resistance to shearing, especially on full wedge shots, without sacrificing feel and short-game performance. Under the cover there is a proprietary chemical additive that works to increase ball velocity and lower the core's compression augments the high-grade rubber blend used in the core. Callaway Golf engineers refer to the HX Tour's core as being "fast and soft," meaning that the unique chemical composition of the core is more resilient while maintaining the soft feel of the Company's previous three-piece golf balls. The result is that the HX Tour can provide the best combination of distance, feel and spin.
