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?

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
