About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the golf balls, which I purchased with my own money in February of 2022.

My take

The 2022 Chrome Soft X LS is a great golf ball for high clubhead-speed golfers who are looking for a ball that will spin less on full swings. I recommend it to any long hitter that is tired of spinning the ball too much off the tee.

How it performs

What I was looking for

I was previously playing the 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft X and found that it spun too much with my woods. I switched to the 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS because I was looking for a ball that would spin less when I hit my woods.

Why I chose this golf ball

I was happy with the feel and durability of the 2020 Callaway Chrome Soft X, so I wanted to give the 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS a try. I tested every 2022 Callaway golf ball on a FlightScope to see what ball had the best spin numbers with my woods. The 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS had the best spin numbers and longest distance with my driver.

What I love about it

• Distance: This is the longest golf ball I have ever hit. I gained distance with every club. 10–15 yards with my woods and 5–10 yards with my irons and wedges. And I have found that iron shots sometimes fly farther than I anticipated they would.
• Feel: I like how this ball has a firm feel on all shots. When putting, it has a “click” sound at contact, which makes me more confident. Though at times I wish the ball felt softer while chipping.
• Durability: The 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS is very durable. I was excited that I haven’t had to replace them before they are lost. One ball can last 10+ rounds.
• Color: The balls have a glossy finish out of the box. This makes them easier to find in the fairway.

Issues I’ve encountered

• Green Spin: Spin around the green isn’t the strong point of the 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS. Chip shots still spin, but they will release on the greens.

Best shot with this golf ball

The best shot I hit with the 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS was a gap wedge into the 10th green at Meadow Hills golf course. It landed about 12 feet from the hole and stopped on a dime. I also sank the birdie putt, which was a plus!

Value for the money vs. other options

The 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS is definitely worth the money. The balls are the longest I have ever hit and they’re very durable compared to other Callaway Chrome Soft models.

Final verdict

This golf ball brings out the distance potential of my drives by spinning less. I love the performance and durability of the 2022 Callaway Chrome Soft X LS. I plan on playing this ball for a long time.
