Callaway Chrome Soft (2022)

The 2022 Chrome Soft was the generation where Callaway moved from a 4-piece to a 3-piece construction while keeping the Hyper-Elastic SoftFast Core that defined the ball's distance profile. Compression 72 made this one of the softest urethane-cover tour balls available and the correct option for swing speeds under 95 mph where a firmer ball costs distance. The current Chrome Soft (2024) made further changes to the core, so the 2022 generation represents the start of the simplified construction era rather than the end of an earlier phase. For a used buyer who prioritizes greenside feel at low compression, this is a well-tested option at secondary market prices.
