Callaway launches new Warbird and Superhot 70 golf balls

Published

on

Along with a new Chrome Soft X golf ball (which we reviewed here), Callaway has also launched its new Warbird and Superhot 70 golf balls.

“The design of every Callaway ball is important to us because each one has a fan base that wants to play better and score lower,” said Dave Bartels, Callaway’s senior director of golf ball R&D in a press release. “With the 2017 launch of these new models we hope to capture the essence of each product family while offering significant performance improvements that golfers can experience and enjoy.”

The Superhot 70 golf balls ($27.99 for a box of 15) have a three-piece construction that’s made with a “faster core and cover combination” (than its predecessor) to reduce spin with longer clubs and produce more distance and accuracy, according to Callaway. The company’s HEX dimple design is used on the cover, which Callaway says will help to stabilize its flight in the air, especially in windy conditions.

Callaway’s Warbird golf balls ($17.99 per dozen) use a two-piece construction that has a “new, livelier core” (than its predecessor) to make energy transfer more efficient at impact for more speed and distance. The update to the Warbird also includes the company’s HEX dimple design, which reduces drag for a more stable flight. The Warbirds comes in white or optical yellow colors.

Both golf balls will be available at retail on February 3.

    The NFL has one ball. The NBA one ball. MLB has one ball. Why do we get so many to choose from in golf?!

      because the nfl and teh mlb and nba pay for the balls…..imagine a home run hitter having to buy a new baseball..or even pay for foul balls into the stands

      That makes a lot of sense. Maybe there should only be one driver allowed as well, which one do you think it should be?

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
