On 3/5/2021 at 11:34 AM, B.Boston said: I wouldn't say the ball test itself, but this forum 1000%. If I hadn't read about them on here I doubt I would have given them a second look if they even got a first look, which is a shame since they are excellent. Ditto. I haven't found a ball that performs better for me than the MTB-X, and I like the Optic Yellow color as it's easier for me to see in low-light situations. The Srixon Z-Star XV is close, and I still have a sleeve of those left that will be donated to the woods soon, I'm sure. I lucked out initially and snagged four dozen in 2019 on B/S/T here for a discount, but ordered my five dozen on Black Friday and hopefully should be set for this season. 2 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 6.4 / Anti-Cap: 12.2 (Last Updated August 18, 2022) Driver: Callaway Epic Max LS (9°), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Club Champion Fitting 17° Hybrid: Callaway Super Hybrid, 41.5", Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid 80 TX 21° Hybrid: Callaway Epic Flash, 40", Mitsubishi MMT Hybrid 80 TX 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", UST Mamiya Recoil 110 F5 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

Keeper905 84 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm thinking between a few balls this year. I might stick with the Bridgestone BRX again this year. I also tried the Vice Tour last year and found it quite decent for the price. I think I will also give the e12 contact a try this year.

Siamese Moose 784 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My ball has been the Bridgestone Tour B X, but they stopped making it in yellow, which I strongly prefer, and I've finally run out of my yellow stock. I tried the MTB-X, but after 2 rounds I think it's the worst wind ball I've ever played. Since that's supposed to be the area of greatest improvement from the older version, I shudder to think how bad it used to be. For reasons unrelated to golf, I have a strong loyalty to Bridgestone, so I'm probably going to go with the Tour BRX.Sent from my SM-T580 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment
