TG8 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have been having great success on hitting fairways with the bridgestone tour b x golf ball. It is an all around great performing ball. The only downfall I am noticing is greenside spin is a little low for me. Anyone have any golf ball recommendations that are similar but with more greenside spin? thanks.

I thing the obvious answer is the Tour B XS. Per the marketing literature, like the B X but more greenside spin.

tdroma98 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'd also recommend trying the Tour B XS, if you like the Tour B X. I find the BXS to be softer feel especially around the greens and a good ball on windy days TG8 and MGoBlue100 2 Quote Titleist T200 Irons - 5i thru Gap Wedge - Stiff AMT Black Callaway PARADYM X 9.0 with Hazrdous X Black 6.0 Stiff Shaft Fairway Woods: Callaway Maverick 3W & RazrX Black 5W - Stiff Flex Rescue: Apex 4 (22 degree )- Recoil 75H stiff flex Wedges: Titleist SM8 - 54 (D Grind) wedge flex; SM8 58(M grind) wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom X5.5 Ball: Titleist ProV1 Handicap: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BXS is actually softer and one of the softest balls played on tour so should have not issues getting the performance out of it.

DiscipleofPenick Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The BXS is quite a bit softer so I don't know how much like the X it will be. If you have the high swing speed, you are probably better off trying Srixon, TaylorMade, and Titleist X offerings to see if one spins better for you. On a personal note I tried the TP5x yesterday and it does not spin enough for me, I hit center green yesterday with a PW and a 58 lob, and neither shot held the green. Normally play the Z-Star or ProV1.Take Dead Aim TG8 1 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: MacGregor MT-86 Pro Wedges: Vokey 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the TP5X is a low-spin ball like the Left Dash ProV1X or the Chrome Soft X LS. Otherwise and in general, most of the tour-level offerings go with a mid-launch, mid-spin "regular" ball (ProV1, MTB-Black, Z-Star) and then the X ball is higher launch, higher spin (Prov1X, MTB-X, Z-Star XV). Bridgestone does it a little differently... If you want greenside spin, look for a urethane-covered, multi-layer ball where the cover and the mantle layer are significantly different in their firmness. Not to mention that if you haven't replaced your wedges in a while, fresh grooves make a world of difference.

DiscipleofPenick Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Lol, no it's a brand new Vokey 58. It's got 4 rounds on it.

If you’re not getting spin around the greens then it’s a technique issue, not a ball issue I was thinking the same thing. Last year I tried out a bunch of balls and the ball that performed the best for me was the BX. The BXS seemed to spin too much for me off the tee. And, in the MGS ball test the BX spun less off the tee and was longer than the BXS and spun more with wedge shots than the XS as well. The only downside to the BX that I could see was if you're coming from a softer ball it does feel firmer than the softer balls (BXS, ProV1, Z-star, Chrome Soft, etc.) I played a club last weekend that has tiny fast greens, and hit several full wedges, and pitch shots that held greens I normally would've struggled with, and that what sold me on them. Great off the tee as well. Just my .02. Good luck!

I do think it has some more spin around the green, but I hit the Bridgestone farther... Overall, I like the Bridgestone slightly better and am playing them this year.
