Bridgestone Tour B RX and B RXS balls

Hello,

Has anyone tested the Bridgestone Tour B RX or RXS balls? I haven't found a topic on them.

I recently found a Tour B RX ball and started chipping and putting with it. It was in perfect condition when I found it and after practicing with it, it was in much better condition than the Pro V1's that I also use for practice. I'm amazed with it's durability but I found the B RX to be a little hot off the face compared to the Pro V1 (softer vs firmer feel?). I played a round with it and compared it to my gamer (Srixon Q-star) and didn't see much difference but I also played like crap that day, so it's difficult to say. 

What experience have you guys with it? Is it worth the buy?

Thanks,

JD

The RX and RXS are going to be softer than v1 and similar to q star. Q star, rx and rxs are designed to reduce spin. 

If you look at the chart from the ball test you will see those 3 balls are in the good or fair categories. 

I’ve played all 3 balls and prefer Prov1,1x, tp5/5x over them. They are good balls for cool temps when needing some compression of the ball

I was sent a dozen Tour B RX's with the Bridgestone test last fall based on Bridgestone's online fitting tool and generally liked the ball. I also recently found an RXS that was in great shape and played it for quite a few holes before dunking it in a pond and think I prefer the RXS over the RX. Compared to other balls, I prefer the OnCore Elixer or Maxfli Tour X over them, especially around the green, but overall the RX/RXS are decent balls for me.

The Tour BRX has become my gamer and I'm pretty happy with it.  I find it to be longer than the Chromesoft and predictable around the greens. As other have said, it's really durable ball as well.

I switch a but between the RX and the RXS... Usually the RXS in the summer, RX other times. RCS feels better IMHO, I like soft.

Gamed an RXS and was pleased with the distance on it. I couldn't tell if it was my swing or if it was the ball but seemed like a got around 10 degrees more distance than a prov1x. I lost a decent amount of spin at the greens though.
