Bridgestone vs Callaway

[Shortknocker]

Which Bridgestone ball would be the closest to the Chrome tour? I'm playing the XS right now but it's shorter off the tee andid irons for me (Probably too much spin). My driver SS is 95-100. I like the Chrome tour but would like To find a Bridgestone Ball close too it cause of the price of the Callaway.

Have you read through the Bridgestone Mindset review we had earlier this year?

They make several different balls, however the 2024 revamped models are

TOUR B -   X, XS, RX, RXS

from what I recall from my experience the x or xs should be for 100+ SS.

Have you tried the rx or rxs?  They also make the E series balls too.

Also, for a Great read check out the maxfli balls too.  Lots of great reviews here on them.

I have not tried the RX nor the Rxs. I did the ballnamic fitting several times and Everytime I've done it even switching things up a bit the B X was in the top 2 all but one time.

The XS is a bit skinnier than the X

Agreed!!! I tested the CT earlier this year. Fantastic ball! Pisses me off they’re nearly the same price as ProV1.

I LOVE the BX, I did the ballnamic fitting and it was one of my options so I tried it out and it is fantastic. Great height, distance, and spin and I don't have the fastest swing speed by any means. Per their website the BX shouldn't work for me but it does really well. If you haven't tried it out yet I would give it a go.

BX is pretty similar to the CT in my testing. I was part of the Callaway white box test, and got a dozen after Bridgestone offered to extend the mindset balls to additional members, so I've tried both recently. For me personally, the BX is a better ball because I get a bit more spin out of it. Purely a guesstimate because I don't have LM data, but the BX carries longer and goes higher, which for me, means it's spinning more. I've gone through 3 club fittings and always have relatively low spin so it's not completely "feelycraft" but it's definitely not data driven in terms of the ball testing.

See I got a good bit of spin off Driver and even with a 95-100 SS I feel like I need less spin off Tee to maximize my Distance
