TG8

Even though two of my teams are red (Arsenal & the Falcons), I'm not sure I could ever game a red putter just because of my hate for UGA(g) 🤣

To each their own though!

Fav color is red and also our school colors. 
Also love the “T” alignment for my first initial. 

Eyeing any particular color?

It is out there!

Had to do another one--switched it up and went with the Green as it would match my Jones bag and a bit of the theme I have going on with my clubs. 
 

Absolutely in love

I love my DF 2.1.  I love my DF 2.1.  I love my DF 2.1. 
But...My god it's a thing of beauty 🙂

Had a scratch and former state champ test out the chrome tour for fun.  He picked up some ball speed compared to his prov1x left dash.  Similar results to what I saw. 
 
Even after seeing the results he said, “I am still a Titleist guy, wont be switching “.  I feel like this is going to be the case for a lot of long long time prov1 users.  

I'm right there with you on one handed putting.  I can definitely lag putt long putts better one handed.  I have yet to play an entire round one-handed (putting), but for some reason it seems my stroke is straighter.

Ok a bit overdue sorry, just wanted to make sure I could get enough rounds in to have enough of an opinion on these balls
The Review 4/7/24
Callaway Chrome Tour/X White Box – Official MGS Forum Review by Yungkory

First Impressions (10 out of 10)
I haven't played a Callaway ball for years, but it's what I expected and have seen from them in the past, though this time it had Triple Track which I've never played. 

The name has changed this year and it seems the characteristics are marketed different from previous years.

Both balls are marketed to be firmer than the previous-generation "chrome soft" -- which was the tour ball. Now, the Chrome Soft no longer carries a "tour" designation so it seems to me like it would be less performance-based.
Aesthetics (10 out of 10) 
The balls look everything like a premium golf ball should, and every bit like your standard Callaway ball. Shiny cover, chevron marking, and in the version we were sent -- Triple Track (TT). I've never gamed a ball with TT before, and in practice it seems to help. I don't have any data to back it up, but you would want to do something like that for a whole season and not a couple of months like this forum review.
Initially, I thought the durability was subpar, after my first 2 rounds with them. What I thought was an inferior cover, I now believe to just be that the paint rubs off. Maybe I just notice it more since I was seeing the Triple Track rub off, and the ball I game obviously doesn't have that? Anyways, I thought the covers were junk at first but they actually hold up well when you're not hitting stuff you shouldn't. I wanted to take a picture of my most-recently used ball, but on its 34th hole it met a watery demise:

everytime.mp4   The sound for me is pretty similar across both balls, but the feel is easier to notice. The Chrome Tour feels great off of every club, the X is a bit more harsh feeling. Drive is unsurprisingly the easiest one to tell the difference between. The regular Tour almost feels borderline marshmallow-y and those who don't like that, will probably hate the ball -- it really reminds me of the Chrome Soft of yesteryear, ProV1, Z-Star, (insert your favorite soft-feeling urethane tour ball). Personally, I love that feeling because it makes me think I'm compressing the ball more and getting more out of it.
The Numbers (15 out of 20)
I really thought the X was going to "fit" me and I would like it, based on the marketing. In real life, it couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know if it's because the ball is designed to spin more, or if it's something between my ears, but it seems like this will accentuate any side-spin imparted by your face angle. I've struggled in multiple rounds to keep the X in play. Could just be me, even though I hardly ever move the ball left to right (I've been up to 8* in to out on QC4). Maybe that's a good thing, I got to see the right sides of the courses I play vs. normally being on the left 😆.
I've had much more success with the non-X in my rounds. I believe others found more ball speed with the X, but I was hitting the regular CT the furthest in all of the 6 rounds I played with these. It reminds me very much of the ProV1: feels great, goes far, flatter flight on longer clubs. The only difference is it seems to have more spin coming into greens, especially on full shots. Typically, I get more one-hop-stop from my gamer, and the ProV1s that I have played, but I've found that I can get some sauce on the CT. This was a 7i from 165 that spun back on me a few feet (yea, I missed the bird):

The CT definitely performed better and the score would've been higher if the X wasn't involved in the test.
On The Course (15 out of 20)
If you don't want to read the details, here's a TL;DR: The CT was a really good ball for me, the CTX wasn't.
Off the tee the balls perform well. The CT launched a little higher for me but never climbed much higher after that. The CTX launched a little lower for me but would spin up. Since Hawaii generally has sun every day, the fairways I play are often dry and get tons of roll if you don't have a high angle of decent. I believe this is why I saw longer drives with the CT than the CTX, but both balls seemed to be longer than my Z-Star Diamond. I hit some absolute BANGERS with the CT.
Strangely, I got more spin from the CT than the X though the marketing would suggest the opposite should've happened. I don't normally pull the ball back or "have it on a string" but found the CT was very capable of doing so. Again, hop-and-stop performance from the X, from any distance into the green.
Missing greens is my forte, so I got a lot of chipping in with these balls. Neither of them were difficult to execute shots with, they kinda just do what you ask of them. Bump and runs, check-y pitches, etc. as long as you execute the shot, the balls will react accordingly. 
Off of my Link.1 the CT and CTX feel very similar and I don't think the characteristics of either would cause me to miss or make a putt.
The Good, the bad, the inbetween (15 out of 20)
I enjoy testing golf balls. Thankful that we have the forum to be able to have a chance to do it without having to fork over the cash. Testing the CT really made me happy. I can't exactly tell you why, maybe just because I hit some really nice shots with it, or because it feels the way I want the ball to feel off the face of each club? It's a really good ball and I intend on re-visiting it after I work through these 3 dozen Z-star Diamonds.
Play it or Trade it? (15 out of 20)
I would game the CT. The X just isn't it for me. It's the Indian and not the arrow, but the arrow makes the Indian more crooked. I think when the next 4-for-3 box comes around, I'll scoop some up. Though by that time, the next CT will likely drop.
Conclusion
I'm pretty low spin in the long game, thought the CTX would be the ball for me. It wasn't. The CT spins just enough for me to be able to game it, the X spins so much I can't tame it.

My profile has said that my strength is my short game since it was created on this wonderful site.
After much thought, it’s time to update.  My strength is off the tee now.  Something I used to dread.
Anyone else due for an update?!

I have hoarding tendencies so I will ise a ball until its destroyed with many scuffs or if it has a gash. 

When signing up please read the actual post and then sign up - ugh

Anyone tested or have an opinion on this from the good ole Puttout boys?
 
I currently have  a pro advanced Matt that allegedly allows me to adjust it to 4 different stimps, and add slopes by putting styrofoam underneath the Matt lol. I also have platinum pressure trainers at each end of it. 
 
Curious as to if folks think the new output thing is a significant upgrade over what I got
