Callaway ERC Soft Golf Ball (2019) Review

Callaway’s ERC Soft is a brand new golf ball for 2019, with a new innovative design that Callaway will set a new standard for distance-enhancing performance. 

Callaway are so confident about the performance of this ball that they’ve named it after their founder, Ely Reeves Callaway, who was all about developing products that were different and meaningfully better. Callaway says this is the longest ball in their 2019 line-up, but still offers lots of spin and control around the green.

How? A graphene dual-soft fast core, which is similar to the core in the Chrome Soft, in a new “Hybrid Cover” of multiple materials that offers speed. The most visible change though is “Triple Track Technology” – three lines on the ball that has the same visual cues used to land planes on aircraft carriers. Three lines on half the ball are said to aid alignment on green.

Callaway ERC Soft: Key Features

Our Longest Golf Ball With Soft Feel
ERC Soft has completely reinvented how a distance ball performs with our new
innovative Hybrid Cover. This multi-material cover creates an exceptional combination
of faster ball speeds for longer distance, incredibly soft feel, and noticeably higher spin
for excellent control around the green.

Fast Ball Speeds & Low Spin Off The Driver
In the ERC Soft, we’ve designed our largest ever Graphene-infused Dual SoftFast Core.
This groundbreaking technology features a larger inner core that maximizes
compression energy while minimizing driver-spin and promoting high launch for long
distance.

Advanced Alignment From Triple Track Technology
We’ve prominently featured Triple Track lines on the ball for improved putting accuracy.
Triple Track uses Vernier Visual Acuity to improve alignment compared to a regular side
stamp alignment aid.
