Badams69 118 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Bridgestone B330-S refurbished - $13/dozen on amazon. Tested two seasons ago in a fitting via monitors and these outperformed anything else by far too much. I probably need to test again, but fear none of the more recent balls would be so readily available in refurbished. 2 Quote WITB Drivers: Cobra F9 w/Atmos FW: Cleveland HiBore 3W Hybrid: Titleist driving iron, Titleist hybrid Irons: Ping Eye2 3-S & TA 845s 3-W Wedge: Ping Glide 2.0 Stealth 56 ES s300 Putter: Ping Zing 2 33.75" , Anser 3 Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct about the RX line, it's made for guys like us - the RXS if you want more spin, RX if your focus is accuracy. The downside for me is I changed nearly all clubs and balls at the same time (for club testing purposes I stuck with the usual balls), but I'm still getting used to both to some extent. 1 Quote Driver: M5 10.5* (set at 8.5*) Tensei CK Orange 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: Zipcore Black Satin 58* Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites

I found the e12 to perform poorly compared to the 2017 e6. For me, far less spin meant far less height, therefore far less distance. So I've been gobbling up the 2-for-1 deals. I wonder if the matte coloured e12s perform worse than the white e12s? It probably shouldn't, but was super excited for the matte colours, so only bought them. In pennant, had been playing the e12, but swapped back to the e6 for the last two holes... Got the height back, got all my stopping power back and managed to win 1UP.

fixyurdivot 10,559 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Pretty much whichever I pull out of my bag - which is quite a mix. To be really honest I'm still not seeing that much difference in distance or control around greens regardless what I'm hitting. I did pick up a sleeve of Srixon soft feel recently and they have been party to some better than average scores the last couple of weeks... could be the start of something? 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like they did a few pushes of marketing and interviews and have since gone silent on the topic.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Not sure if you tried this yet. I don’t care for the triple track, it’s very difficult to line it up, and time consuming to get perfect so I just flipped over so I couldn’t see anything. Also, this ball is actually pretty long off the tee and irons, has pretty decent feel in be greens. It’s not going to beat out the BXS, but I found a couple on the course. After losing 2 BXS balls on consecutive hole early in the round, I decided I didn’t want to lose another, so I took out these found ones and played them. 1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
Golfspy_CG2 26,391 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I played golf with the Bridgestone Rep on Friday. I played the first 15 or so holes with my usual ProV1X--much to his chagrin When I lost a ball on the 15th hole and went to get one of out my bag, he said...."here try this, and let me know what you think" It was a sleeve of the TourB X. I had been meaning to try it, but just hadn't gotten around to ordering any from him. Wow, I have to say the very first hole, a Par 5 the ball did everything you would expect, held it's line off the tee, flew really well on the 3 wood approach, and with about 70 yards left on the 3rd shot, it hit pin high took one bounce forward and backed up about 2 feet, leaving me a 10 foot birdie putt, which just barely grazed by. I took a couple more practice roll putts with it on that green afterward, knowing we just had a couple holes left. it felt really really good. I don't know if I'll be changing anytime soon, as I my initial supply of V1X from Titleist still, but it's certainly one I can play and feel like I"m getting very much the same results as the VX1. 4 Quote TSi2 Kuro Kage 50g R Flex TSi2 16.5 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft G410 FW 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Heppler Tomcast ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites
azstu324 3,188 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I've got 2 very specific answers as there is the ball I "will play".. and the ball I "want to play". The ball I will continue to play is the TM P (a). This ball is just a flat out solid performer all around and is affordable. The ball I want to play.. or if asked "what i'd like for Christmas or Birthday) is the Bridgestone Tour B XS (TW's ball). I used this ball in the Bridgestone E12 test as a comparison ball and it just blew my mind. It's hella long, laser straight off the tee, tough as nails, and just a spin beast at close range. To me this is as perfect a ball as there could ever be. 2 Quote SIM Max 7°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X 917F2 3 Wood / UST ProForce V2 Black F4S++ Epic Flash Hybrid 18* / Mitsubishi Tensei Silver 70g TS-1 3 - P / TT DG 105 (S+) / GP Microsuede TSW 50/6 + 56/12 Wedge O-Works #7 / Superstroke Ultra Slim 1.0 Link to post Share on other sites
AlanMP 14 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Started the season with the Chrome Soft X because that is what the ball my club fitter told me to play, but he is also a Callaway staffer so that is what he is going to push. After seeing the ball testing here is decided to test a few different balls for myself. After testing the Chrome Soft X against the Pro V1, TourB X, and the two Snell MTB balls, I have decided to go with the TourB X. Just seems to fit me the best. 4 Quote Driver: Callaway Rouge SZ 9* - Hzrdus Yellow 75 (6.0) - 44.5" 3 Wood: Ping i15 15.5* - Ping TFC700 (stiff) - Standard length 4 Hybrid: Nickent 7DX 22* - Aldila R.I.P.

MT3Putt 6 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Srixon Z-Star for me. It has worked as well for me as any ball out there. I'm not getting quite as much distance as some of the others off the tee, but the drop is very slight - and the much better dispersion is worth it. I also have loved them on approach. They have been having a sale over the last few days where it's buy 1 box, get a box free, so I have loaded up. Pretty hard to beat $20/12 golf balls. 2 Quote Driver: Tour Burner (in the process of replacing) 3 Wood: CBX 13.5* Project-X HZRDUS Black 6.0 3 Hybrid: CBX Iron-Wood 19* Project-X HZRDUS Black 6.0 4-50*: 718 AP2 Project-X LZ 6.5 56*, 60*: Vokey SM7 Raw S-Grind 56*, M-Grind 60* Putter: Tommy Armour Impact Series No. 3 Alignment Putter 34'' Evnroll Gravity Grip Ball: Z-Star Other: NX7 Range-Finder, Caddie Smart-Sensors 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites

Up N Down 13 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I’m starting to lean more and more to the TP5. I was testing the TP5, Z-Star and The Mizuno RB Tour. The TP5 just checks all the boxes for me on distance, consistency and feel. The Z-Star is a close second though. 3 Quote Driver: TaylorMade M2 9.5 3 Wood: Taylormade M2 16.5 Utility: Srixon U65 20deg (3 iron) Irons: Srixon z765 4-AW Wedges: Callaway MD4 54 & 58 Putter : Odyssey Stroke Lab 7s Ball : TaylorMade TP5 Link to post Share on other sites

HarryC 59 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 At my local golf club they held a Titleist ball fitting day with one of their experts. After about 50 minutes with me he told me to use the Pro V1X. The main reason was to try and get a bit more height in my flight which should allow it to stop quicker than what I was using (Chromesofts) and gained about 10-15 yards on my driving off the tee too. I've played four rounds since and I've had 3 of my best scores yet so will look to continue using the Pro V1 X. 2 Quote Driver: TS2 (Hazardus Smoke 65g) Driving Iron: P790 (Dynamic Gold) Hybrid: 818H1 23* (Tensei Pro White) Irons: T100 5 - 9i (KBS C-Taper 130g x-stiff) Wedges: SM7 46, 50, 54, 58 Putter: Toulon Las Vegas with StrokeLab shaft Ball: TP5X Link to post Share on other sites
