    Hey all, first real post here.
    I got my Bridgestone Tour B RX last week and I tried them out yesterday.  (Can't play on Mother's Day, obviously.)  I did manage to use one ball the whole round, always a bonus.  The ball does have some scars for the effort - two cart paths and a tree - but it survived.
    The real takeaway for me is the Mindset portion of the ball, more so than the ball performance.  The three-step process is the key.  Previously I would have thought, pick a target, visualize the shot, and focus on the ball would have been pretty obvious.  However, several times I caught myself not really doing all of the above.  
    Even picking a specific target.  Which seems crazy.  Why would you hit a shot without having a specific target?  Yet occasionally I found myself thinking (especially on a par 5) just hit it (in a general area).   I would have to stop, reset and pick a specific target.  Helpful!
    On to visualization.  Having a little trouble with this.  Am I supposed to close my eyes and imagine the shot?  Or how exactly?  Anyway, I did my best to imagine the successful shot.  Sometimes it worked!
    I think the green dot was my favorite part.  When it worked best, it did quiet the voices in my head (which is huge).  First round using it, it was hard to always slow down enough to remember all the phases of the Mindset program.  
    For one round, I liked it.  Not much on the ball performance here.  I found it similar to the Vice Pro I have been playing, and the Maxfli Tour that I recently added.  I will say I have also been taking some lessons and working on other parts of my game so I can't give the Mindset all the credit, but I did shoot one of my lower scores of the year.  Not the lowest, but the lowest in a while.
    In the end, I liked the meditative nature of the exercise.  As someone who learned to play the game quickly (for speed of play), it was calming to have a routine that slowed me down.  I call round one a success!
    One small comment.  There is only one green dot.  And there are times when you can't see it, you know, without manipulating it.
    More later.

    How many of you are:
    A. Using the mindset process in conjunction with the logo as some form of alignment.
    B. Only applying the mindset process.
    C. Only using the logo as an alignmnet aid.
    I already mentioned that I am a medium A, But a strong B everytime.
