In a highly competitive market, Callaway remains one of the leading golf equipment manufacturers in the world. Callaway originally gained popularity in the early 1990s due to its unique "Warbird" metal-woods, which quickly became a favorite of PGA Tour professionals and amateurs alike. Callaway now produces a high-performance line of golf balls as well. The Callaway CX3 Pro features a perfect blend of distance and feel, according to the Golf Swing Teaching website.

Features

The Callaway CX3 features a mixture of pro-level distance and control around the greens, according to the Golf Town website. The high-resilience core provides increased ball speed and improved distance, while the soft boundary layer enhances feel around the greens. Callaway replaced traditional dimple patterns with their "Hex" design, which is reported to provide extra spin and durability according to Golf Town.

Construction

The Callaway CX3 Pro golf ball uses a three-piece construction. The cover is composed of an ionomer compound that is reported to produce increased distance, improved durability and reduced scuffing, according to the Golf Swing Teaching website. The core uses a resilient rubber that is highly reactive to clubface impact. The core is surrounded by a soft boundary layer that acts similar to rubber, and produces enhanced green-side feel.

Benefits

The Callaway CX3 Pro is designed for golfers who want the best of both worlds-- professional-level distance and uncompromising feel around the greens. Some distance golf balls contain a high-compression cover that can produce increased distance, but promote a hard, springy effect around the greens. Further, many softer golf balls produce enhanced feel around the greens, but sacrifice distance with the driver. The CX3 Pro is believed to offer the benefits of both types of balls.

Significance of a Golf Ball

The golf ball has evolved a great deal since the "Gutta" balls from the mid-19th century, the Purely Golf website says. Golf balls have moved from a simple, standardized piece of equipment to a highly personal piece of the game with a multitude of different features and options. Some professionals prefer harder, distance golf balls while others prefer softer balls. Further, some players prefer two-piece constructions while even more opt for three-piece designs. Golfers are even so keen as to prefer certain dimple patterns over others.

Choosing a Golf Ball

Due to the seemingly endless combination of constructions and materials, golf ball choices are as unique as the players who choose them. Choose a ball that fits your budget and playing level. If you are a beginner and you lose a lot of balls, expensive balls are not ideal. Further, select a ball that fits your playing style. If you lack distance, choose a harder golf ball. If you have a hard time putting spin on the ball, choose a golf ball with a higher number of dimples.
