Me gustaría conocer opiniones acerca de esta bola.

Buena bola javi .... una bola muy maja, quizas un poco mas corta de vuelo que otras bolas de sus segmento... pero con buenas sensaciones en aproach y putt

me pasa un poco como con la antigua is Tour de Callaway .... una pasada de bola en los tiros de aproach y putt ... pero con la que pierdes distancia en los tiros largos y el drive, y mas si eres un pega-nena como yo

Pero esta bola la hay en rosa?....

Pero esta bola la hay en rosa?....

Solo las hay blancas y amarillas.
Las rosas (Callaway Solaire) ya no las juego, que en el rough se me pierden; y yo ya sabes que cojo 1 o 2 calles por vuelta

El otro día jugué 9 hoyos en Layos con una bola de estas, y me pareció una gran bola. Yo no noté perdida de distancia respecto a la HX diablo tour que venía jugando ultimamente, y desde luego tiene buen toque en juego corto.

Eso si, también te digo que dentro de un orden, a mi me vale casi cualquier cosa...

Creo que te puede dar las caracteísticas de la callaway Tour con la resistencia de la diablo tour, buena combinación

Aquí algunas palabras sobre esta bola y sus características:

I wanted to get this report out to you tonight as I have been getting a lot of questions from subscribers about the same topic.

There has been much discussion over whether the new Callaway Hex series golf balls are truly a "dimpleless" design.

Let's take a look at the Hex Chrome, which is a 3-piece urethane covered ball, or what is traditionally considered a "Tour" ball.

This ball's surface is covered in multi-sized, hexagonal shaped surface depressions vs. the traditional round dimples we are all used to seeing on other product.

The company claims the hex shaped structures increase coverage on the surface as the fret area between traditional round dimples is reduced.

You can see below the area between the round dimples has more of an hourglass shape vs. the hex structure configuration. The hex depressions fit together like puzzle pieces.


But is the ball really dimpleless? No, it just employs hexagonal dimples. And non-round dimples are nothing new.

The Davidson Rubber Company of Boston made golf balls in the early 1900's that had dimple patterns so complex (a lattice of non-round dimple shapes and sizes) you would think they were designed with a high tech computer program.

What's more, dimples on a golf ball are not "independent operators". They work synergistically with the other components of the ball (core, mantle layers, etc...)

When a new ball design is ready, a dimple pattern will be designed or refined that tweaks the final performance of the golf ball. For example, the engineers will use or develop the right dimple pattern that results in the optimal trajectory and distance, for that specific ball construction.

So a hex, round, or other dimple pattern may be ideal for one ball construction, but not for another. In fact, the wrong dimple design on a given construction, no matter how high tech the pattern, can result in an absolute "dud" of a ball!

I'll also add that the various ball companies have patents on particular dimple designs and layouts that prohibit competitors from using them. This can be a blessing in disguise as it leads to new innovations year after year as the companies work to avoid infringement.

By the way, the Hex series balls are quite nice. Ernie Els won the 2012 British Open with the HEX Black Tour Ball, a 5-Piece ball.

In all, I hope that helped clear up any dimple issues related to the new Hex product (or with dimples in general).
