Friends, this one is simple. If you read our earlier story on the Chrome Soft Yellow Stripe or have ever seen a Tour Response Stripe or any other striped model from the likes of Titleist, Vice, Wilson and even Seed, you pretty much know where this is going.
Expanding on the Yellow Stripe offering that was added to the Chrome Soft suite of options early this year, Callaway has introduced Yellow Stripe versions of Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X.
There you go. That’s basically the whole story. I should add that if you’d like a stripe on your Chrome Tour Triple Diamond, apparently, you’re SOL.
What’s the deal with the stripe?
If this is all new to you, the idea behind striped designs is that they make it easier to align the ball to your target line. To be sure, it’s on you to actually read the putt properly and identify said line but, assuming you can do that, a stripe can reportedly help you align the putter with the ball in such a way as to start the ball on that line.
There isn’t a ton of publicly available data on the subject but, not surprisingly, manufacturers producing striped balls say their testing shows golfers are better at aligning balls with stripes. You still have to execute the putt—and that’s anything but a given—but I suppose it still counts as a leg up on the putting green.
If nothing else, some of you will think Yellow Stripe versions are more interesting (dare I say cooler?) than plain white options.
To each, their own, I suppose.
I’ve mentioned this before—I’ve come to believe that stripes work as claimed. They can help with alignment and while the purists among you may still prefer plain white options, allow me to suggest golf balls with alignment technology are worth looking at, especially during those times when your putting goes south.
I’ve putted with versions of striped offerings for the last couple of years and, frankly, I’ve become so accustomed to the extra help that putting with unmarked balls makes me uneasy.
Am I the only one?
Have you tried striped golf balls? Are you likely to try Chrome Tour Yellow Stripe (or some other striped ball) in the future? Would you prefer a different color stripe?
Callaway Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X Yellow Stripe golf balls are available now.
