Callaway Golf ERC Soft Golf Balls

I've never been a Calloway fan, more of a TM guy but decided to give these a shot after a friend was telling me about them & had me try 1 of his & I hit thr longest, starightest drives I've hit in several years. I'm 62 & can still hit em over 300 with my driver during warmer weather & if my body allows on that particular day but found my distance dwindling markedly recently. Of course, there could be many factors involved with that in this game. I don't play with a handicap, I could shoot 78 today & 2 days from now on the same course shoot 98, all depends on my back & neck on that particular day. But after hitting a 320 yard drive first try with this ball I decided to do a side by side test with my regular ball. Every driver shot was 20-30 yards longer or more with this Calloway ball. Distance with my irons isn't as important to me as accuracy but for an example I hit my 5 iron about 200, 7 iron 170, 9 iron 150. Each shot with this ball wasn't just a little further, but a little 'tighter', more accurate but also more importantly-the ball stuck to the green. Many drew back a foot or 2. I even hit a 260 yard 3 wood to a par 5 that took 1 5' bounce & sat. As for the bold alignment marks, they're a nice touch but don't help my putting as since I moved to Florida 20 years ago I instantly turned into Stevie Wonder on the putting green (nothing like putting on those bent grass greens up north!).

No complaints at all. They are what they are. Good womens balls.

Hold the greens well and for a 16 handicap probably a little over doing it but I like the feel when I hit them properly. It's a great soft ball. They are not cheap but not the most expensive and Callaway makes a newer ball now

Gave as a gift, he prefers a different brand had to return.

I have always played tour balls, most recently the TP5X. I found one of these on the course on an extremely windy day and played it on a tough stretch of the course with lots of water. It cut through the wind beautifully, due to the decreased spin. I was so impressed, I bought a dozen and compared them to my TP5X on my Foresight launch monitor. The spin was extremely low, averaging around 1800 on the driver compared to around 2500 on the TP5X. For me, I lofted up the driver and picked up an average of 10 yards throughout the bag after wedges. Unfortunately, the decreased spin included wedges but the difference was around 8500 vs 10000 on a full 56 degree. And 5900 vs 7000 on a half 56 degree. But even with the decreased wedge performance, these launched higher to nearly make up for the decreased spin.Bottom line, if you have a driver ball flight that balloons, give these a try. If you are already a low spin player, stick with the tour balls.

I've found these ERC Soft (yellow, 2021 and 2023 versions) to be fantastic balls. My swing speed is not the 'low' range that this ball is supposedly meant for, but I liked the feel of the 2021 version and tried these 2023 versions based on some published robot testing numbers. I have found these ERCs to be very long and straight. even in the wind, and they feel great off irons and putters. Yellow makes it easy to see and I am pleasantly surprised with the durability as well. Approach shots stop but don't spin back off the front or release off the green. Highly recommended.

Great deal on great balls!
