I played the new Cally HX Tour 56 head to head against the Nike One Platinum this weekend. Was able to get out as a single on a hot day, with nobody in front of or behind me.
Quick take: both are about the same. The Tour 56 is a tad softer and not quite as hot around the greens.
The Tour 56 seems to spin a little bit more and stick closer to where it hits with mid and short iron shots, and wedges. Distance off the driver was about the same. I alternated which ball I teed up first because I was able to hit two tee shots. In most cases, the 2nd shot was a tad longer, probably because the first drive was a warm-up.
Durability was about the same. The Cally showed a tad bit more wear after a full wedge shot with the Cleveland CG10. Wear on the Cally was a little less noticeable when hit with a full Vokey spin-milled wedge.
Aesthetically, the Cally is a little less "bright white."
Woods used were: Ping G2 driver, Big Bertha 3 wood, Taylor Made hybrid. Irons were Ping I3+'s. Wedges were a mix of Cleveland CG10's and Vokey Spin Milled.
Bottom line: if you're a Tiger fan or really like the Platinum, stay with it. If you're a Mickleson fan, or have tried the Platinum and found it a little too hard or too hot around the greens, give the HX Tour 56 a spin.
No problems here. I like any of the premium balls from callaway. can I tell the difference between the Black and 56? No. But I think that is good. I do still use the Red Hex though.
The 56 is a nice ball however, it did not really shock me with its performance. It didn't stand out from all the other high end balls. It does feel very very soft to me though. Overall, good ball.
the hx 56 is a good ball and has a softer feel than the hx tour which i like. overall the ball is pretty durable, spins well, and feels soft coming off the club. exactly what you expect from a premium ball.
[quote=murphyboy]Has anyone tried these i am thinking of buyin a dozen. THey are supposed to have more spin than the HX Tour.[/QUOTE=pimpgolfer01] have played two rounds with this ball and definitely has more spin (sometimes that can be a disadvantage) but overall i love this ball and it's plenty long off the tee.
