Calloway claims to have graphene in their "Chrome" soft golf balls. They claim to use it in the cover materials as "..graphene-infused Dual SoftFast Cores."
Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene
Given that graphene is quite the in vogue material for audio applications I wonder how many (if any) of the vendors selling this are actually sourcing the real thing?

Who has the technology to apply a single-molecule layer of carbon--a semi-conductor manufacturer? Would an audio cable or fuse even benefit from such a thin layer? Doubtful, but some process or material is providing superior conduction in products I am using, including Total Contact and SR Blue fuses--this much I know. |
You guys should use Google. Graphene is easy to come by and is quite reasonably priced these days. https://graphene-supermarket.com/Pristine-Graphene-Monolayer-Flakes-50-ml.html |
@deeperthought not sure you read the article in the original link which is from a well regarded chemistry blog. The point being that almost 100% of what is sold as single layer graphene is anything but that and unless you have the resources to assay what you are buying you’ve got no idea. I’m assuming no hi fi manufacturers test their graphene, they just trust their suppliers |
