Was given a box of HX Hots recently along with some other gifts: A new Callaway Green Towel, Callaway Golf Center (Vegas) Shirt, and a Bali Hai shirt. I thought these balls wouldn't have played as well as the other ones (HX Series, minus Tour) and played around the same level as the Big Bertha series. I was a little wrong. These balls play very nice all around, providing a very very soft feeling on the putting green and off the irons. Most of all: they provide durability. The cover is a different material I believe, and the Hex patterns aren't as defined into the ball as the HX Series. That's what I didn't like about the HX Blue & Red. But in summary, these balls play very good, I'm tempted to switch from HX Tour but I feel I get a little more spin with the Tour so I probably won't switch.

If you have around $25 to spare, give these a go. Just don't burn these until you try them.
