Caintoaway continues to grow their ball business with the Chrome Tour family being the flagship product series and the company’s 22.6% market share is the highest since getting in the business back in 2000. Acushnet’s Titleist brand is still the acknowledged leader with Callaway in second.

The company is talking about the new Tour Fast Mantle common in all three models that produces added distance by optimizing the core/layer system— this is the first time this particular mantle material has been used in a golf ball.

Eric Lopez, Senior Director of Golf Ball R&D, explained it, “The material itself is 16% more rigid or has a higher modulus. That’s important because if you think about a golf ball as a spring, and under impact or under load, that golf ball is going to deform. And if you have a stiffer spring, or a more rigid material that’s acting as a stiffer spring, when that golf ball compresses or rebounds, it’s going to have higher velocity.”

Chrome Tour family options include the being Track and TruTrack markings and the Chrome Tour and Chrome Soft with both are available in white or yellow.

Also of note, the previous versions launched in 2024 carried a price of $54.99 dozen so the new balls are a $3.00 or roughly 5% increase.
