XG Sciences’ Proprietary Graphene is the Not-So-Secret Ingredient for
Delivering Better Control and Distance with Each Swing

LANSING, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XG
Sciences, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-quality graphene
nano-materials, today announced a collaboration with Callaway
Golf Company focused on two new product offerings: the Chrome Soft

line incorporates XG Sciences’ high-performance graphene nanoplatelets
into the outer core of the Chrome Soft balls, resulting in a new class
of product that enables increased control, higher driving speeds and
greater distance.

“We are pleased to partner with Callaway Golf and contribute to their
success. This is just one example of how our proprietary graphene
nanoplatelets provide performance improvements for our customers,” said
