Lefty’s Balls

I was checking out Phil’s new logo balls in this article when I noticed something more interesting, to me at least.

Look at Phil’s ball and you’ll see a dot after Chrome Soft X. That’s definitely not a retail version regardless of his logo. Does anyone know what’s different about this… I guess I’ll call it a right dot?

I mean, it's only been 20 hours and not many of us are likely able to disclose details on what appears to be a Tour-only offering 🤷🏼‍♂️

Phil pretty much always plays a non retail version of the Callaway ball. Only time I remember him playing a retail version was the initial CSX but he was playing it as a tour only before they released it to retail.

I wonder if I can get Maxfli to replace the number for me with this?

Ahhh, so the dot is actually meant to be an asterisk! Makes sense. 🧐
