About Callaway Drivers
I was at the local golf store at lunch and found a brand new Callaway ERC Hot 10 degree driver still in the original plastic. It's got the self adhesive sticker still on the face with both Japanese and English writing. It reads 'Non-Conforming to USGA rules' but it also states that it is conforming to R&A rules. Then it has some Japanese lettering. Callaway Golf has created a powerful chemical reaction with the introduction of the ERC Fusion Driver. This driver's explosive distance is the result of our breakthrough Fusion Technology, which blends the best elements of titanium and carbon composite material into an exciting new mixture.
Your body is perfectly lined up, and you swear you did not take your eyes off the ball, but there your ball goes slicing to the left again. Surely you could drive straight down the fairway if you had a Callaway driver, right? It is hard not to blame your game on your clubs. After all, you are at the driving range twice as often as your golfing buddy, yet his drive is an artistic masterpiece with his new Callaway RAZR Fit driver. This just confirms what you already know; you need a Callaway driver in your bag. If you are ready to take your game to the next level and finally hit par, then you will appreciate that you can find all the best Callaway products on eBay from reliable sellers. If you love the sound graphite makes when it kisses that sweet spot on the ball, then the Callaway Diablo Octane driver may be exactly what you are looking for. Its face angle makes precise shot-shaping effortless. The RAZR Hawk is also a popular pick, as its longer club configuration delivers greater distance and faster head speed without compromising forgiveness.
Callaway Erc Fusion Driver Reviews
According to Callaway:
What do I need to know about ERC Soft? This ball is an extraordinary achievement: it’s incredibly long AND it’s designed for soft feel, and increased control around the green.
How did you do that? This is an exceptionally high level of performance for a distance ball, and it’s made possible by our groundbreaking new Hybrid Cover. The incredibly soft multi-material cover promotes fast ball speeds for long distance through the bag, and great feel. And around the green it’s engineered to create noticeably higher spin for excellent control, allowing you to play aggressively on approach shots and in your short game.
What else stands out about this ball? It’s loaded with groundbreaking technologies, including our largest Graphene-infused Dual SoftFast Core, an innovative technology we introduced las year in Chrome Soft. The high tech core maximizes compression energy for extremely fast ball speeds, while also promoting low spin off the driver and high launch for longer distance.
And what are these lines on it? We’ve introduced NEW patented Triple Track Technology that utilizes Vernier Acuity Precision, the same visual technology used to land planes on aircraft carriers. Triple Track Technology helps to improve alignment compared to a regular side stamp alignment aid.
I want this! When can I get it? ERC Soft is available online and at retailers around the country starting on 2/8.

Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy 4 - 54 and 60 degrees - Joined: edited Jan 7, 2019 11:07am#5Looks to be the new highest priced surly covered offering on the market at $40 per dozen. According to the USGA list it is a 3-piece with 1 cover so that along with the dual softfast core reference leads me to believe that this has a 2 core, 0 mantle, surlyn cover construction like the legacy NXT Tour.
Below is a snippet from **** about the cover which leads me to believe that the cover does not contain any urethane:
'Callaway's cover starts with a Surlyn base, but adds several proprietary ingredients to both increase ball speeds (on short irons/wedges) and spin. Because urethane has different grades, Callaway claims the cover of the ERC Soft can outperform several competitors which elect to use lesser versions of urethane.'- /discussion/comment/18454266/#Comment_18454266
- Joined: #6Allegedly it falls between a surlyn and urethane using a graphene material. If mere mortals like myself can get this ball to spin and stop dead at a lower price point, this will sell pretty darn well.

Maybe performance wise? but not construction wise. Tpx is 5 layers and Urethane coated.
The ERC is 3 layers with a hybrid cover that Is being reported to spin closer to Urethane than surlyn.- /discussion/comment/18454548/#Comment_18454548

I'm curious to see how it performs next to those balls, as they're the ones that might be using the lower grade urethane that Callaway is referencing. Of course it has to outperform those balls, as they're all cheaper.

Possibly, although saying it has higher launch than the Chromesoft put it in a different class than the AVX. The AVX really lowers launch and spin quite a bit. This seems to mostly be lowering spin and keeping launch high, which is what those other balls are supposed to do.- /discussion/comment/18455100/#Comment_18455100

This new ERC Soft has some kind of ionomer blend cover so it will spin less than just about anything with a urethane cover. However, the Tour B RX has one of the hardest urethane covers on the market.
As for compression, keep in mind that there is no industry standard nor do OEMs even measure the same thing (some measure the whole ball other just the core), so you cannot rely on those figures for cross company comparison.
As for Callaway comparison, they have stated the 2018 Chrome Soft at 75 and the X at 94, however not sure if that is core only or overall not what they are testing with.- /discussion/comment/18482694/#Comment_18482694

AVX is an extraordinary ball, thats coming from someone who hates Titleist balls & products. So, -IF- it drives low and long like the AVX, its got my attention but I'll wait for the reviews. The 2018 Chrome SoftXs were a disappointment, over priced and really not even on Par with my 16 or 17 XVs. Right now though, the new TP5X could be scorcher if it's anything like my unicorn Red/LDP balls, we shall see /smile.png' alt=':)' />- /discussion/comment/18485496/#Comment_18485496

I would imagine that the added ingredients are inconsequential otherwise there would be a more detailed marketing story about it just like the Graphene. Heck, Bridgestone literally focused a marketing cycle around watering down their core formulation (hydrocore).- /discussion/comment/18490812/#Comment_18490812
