Callaway Chrome Soft
Softer off the face

What you need to know
- 01A dozen is the unit. Play it for two rounds before you decide anything.
- 02Feel is personal and it shows up on the green first, not off the tee.
- 03If you are choosing between this and the Pro V1, do it on the putting green with both.
- 04Ball fitting covers three models across wedge, mid iron and driver.
From behind the counter
Take a sleeve of each onto the practice green. Twenty putts will tell you more than any chart.
