5 Testers Wanted

Bridgestone Tour B Golf Ball Test Packs

 

 

 

 

Hey gang -- 

 

Looking for 5 of you who'd like to try some test packs of the new Bridgestone Tour B balls.  Bridgestone has offered up a bunch of these test packs -- it's a 4-ball pack with one each of the new series: The Tour B X, Tour B XS, Tour B RX and Tour B RXS.

 

That's a lot of Alphabet Soup, but we want 5 of you to help us out. You'll receive 4 test packs to try out - giving you 4 of each ball to play and compare. From my own experience there's a remarkable difference in performance between each ball, but we'd like to hear your thoughts as well. 

 

Bridgestone-Tour-B-Golf-Balls-4-1170.jpg

 

In this thread, please give us your screen name, handicap, driver swing speed and current ball.  This one's a quickie, so we'll select the 5 testers (you'll be joining some of our MGS Staff in a community review!) by the middle of the week.  

 

Go get 'em!

I hope you don't mind me posting this here. It seems like an appropriate thread to do so. I had a very unique opportunity to tour this facility from front to back to see the manufacturing of the ball.

 

I was so impressed with rhe quality hat goes into each step and something like 17 QA checks along the process.  I couldn't take any photos inside. But will be happy to answer any questions and also submit my "unofficial" testing results here as well.

Like Stud, I was lucky enough to get a sampler 4-pack, and really REALLY enjoyed them- but with only one ball to compare, I found it difficult to do any comparison except against each other, and even then only tangential notes, because I was playing with them in a few friendly matches (Wahoo and Carolina) as well as at home, and didn't take written notes. 

 

So, I would love the opportunity to actually compare and contrast the balls each against the other, and against the other gamers I use...

I'll be following this one closely. I think I might have found the one during my ball testing, but these Bridgestones definitely pique my interests. Not only because Tiger and Freddy play them, but because (this might seem really lame) I really like the looks of the B-mark LOL!

 

I'll throw my name in the hat just in case you guys need more testers though :)

I don't believe I'd be interested but thanks. I tried one of the models recently and it seemed pretty good to me. Sorry I don't recall which one it was.

It was nothing special or game changing. Just another top quality ball and I liked it.
