I 3D printed a few stencils that I use. Currently I use either the American Flag or Chicago Flag.

Thank you to Bridgestone Golf and My Golf Spy for the opportunity to test these golf balls. I was suggested to get the Tour B RXS based on the Bridgestone ball selection guide. I currently play the Titleist Pro V1. I played my first round with the Tour B RXS at Harborside International Golf Course on the picturesque south side of Chicago. It was built on top of an old garbage dump, which is fitting because I'm trying to play a decent round on top of the garbage dump I call my golf game. My initial thoughts of the ball were that it looks and feels like a premium ball. The packaging looks nice and I would think it would attract attention on the shelf of a golf shop. I think there is plenty of information included on the packaging to explain the MindSet aspect of the balls. I felt that the ball performed similarly to how the Pro V1 usually performs for me. It was long off the tee. My average drives are between 265-275. yards, I hit many drives in this range, but my long drive of the day was 294 yards. I hit 6/14 fairways which is maybe slightly higher than normal for me. I think the ball performed well around the green and had adequate spin to help give me control. My two shots out of the sand were great. The aspect I liked the most about the ball was the putting. It felt great coming off my putter and I liked using the MindSet image for alignment. Overall I definitely liked the Tour B RXS and with it being cheaper than the Pro V1 I could see it making its way into my bag. That being said, I think the real reason for this review is for the MindSet aspect of the ball. I feel like this part is a bit gimmicky. I tried to use it as intended, but I just don't feel like it helped much. I don't think it helped (or hurt) my game. The only place I can say that it may have helped a little is with putting. I think it may have helped me slow down a little and focus on the putt. I don't think that MindSet alone would be enough to get me to switch. I think if both balls were the same price it might be harder to get me to switch. I will continue to try these balls out over my next few rounds and will report back anything else that I come across with these balls.

Sounds like a great idea, thanks for the opportunity!

I was just thinking about this the other day while I was at the range. I had been thinking about getting a cart bag as this year I’ll be either riding or pushing 99% of the time. But at the range that I go to I realized there it would be best if my bag had legs. So I’d definitely agree that hybrid really would be the way to go.
