Comparison
Titleist Pro V1 vs Callaway Chrome Soft
Two urethane-covered golf balls. Each maker rates feel, flight and spin on its own scale, so the words on each page do not line up directly.
Titleist recommends the Pro V1 for players who “may benefit from mid-trajectory flight, very low long game spin and high short game spin, and softer feel.”

What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Titleist Pro V1
Spin. Titleist describes the Pro V1 as very low spin in the long game and high spin in the short game.
Callaway Chrome Soft
Feel. Callaway’s comparison table lists the Chrome Soft’s feel as soft.
How they differ
Both are urethane-covered premium balls. Titleist lists a cast urethane elastomer for the Pro V1, and Callaway lists a “Tour Level Urethane Cover” for the Chrome Soft. Callaway pitches the Chrome Soft at a higher flight; Titleist pitches the Pro V1 at a mid flight with very low long-game spin. Each word sits on its own maker’s scale, so read them as directions, not measured differences.
- Flight. Titleist describes the Pro V1’s flight as “Mid” and Callaway describes the Chrome Soft’s as “Higher”.
- Spin. Titleist describes the Pro V1’s long-game spin as “Very low” and its short-game spin as “High”. Callaway’s comparison table lists the Chrome Soft’s long-game spin as “Low” and its short-game spin as “Higher”.
- Feel. Titleist calls the Pro V1 “Softer”, next to the firmer Pro V1x. Callaway calls the Chrome Soft “Soft”.
- Construction. Neither maker publishes a compression number or states a piece count. Titleist names a core, a casing layer and a cover for the Pro V1.
Pack size. The two list prices differ by a cent, but they may not be for the same number of balls. Titleist lists the Pro V1’s price per dozen. Callaway’s page does not state a pack size next to the Chrome Soft’s price, so check the pack size before comparing the two prices.
Who each one suits
- The Pro V1, if you want the ball Titleist describes with a mid flight, very low long-game spin and a softer feel. Titleist recommends it for players who “may benefit from mid-trajectory flight, very low long game spin and high short game spin, and softer feel.”
- The Chrome Soft, if you want the ball Callaway describes with a higher flight and a soft feel. Callaway says it is for “players who want fast ball speeds, higher ball flight, greenside control and soft feel.”
If neither description settles it, play a sleeve of each before buying a dozen.
