NXT tour or Bridgeston B330 RX or e6? - Page 3

The NXT Tour is the closest thing to a ProV that isn't one.  They are a solid ball.  The E6 is a good ball, like all Bridgestone balls usually are, but I don't like the spin you get from the E6.  Not very good for short game.  The B330 RX is not a good ball for me.  It feels like hitting a peeled banana when you hit it off the driver.  Very mushy and way to much compression.

NXT all day!

No change in the E-6 from 2011 to 2012 -- according to Jeff, my online chat guy from Bridgestone website. Last change was dual dimple technology. So if the E-6's have dual dimples, they are the latest version.

Thats the one I most recently tried. I got a 2 ball trial box at the golf show. Tried it… hated it!

Please say more about why you hate the E-6 and love the Trispeed Tour. Also, say a bit about your swing speed and desired green side shots (spin and stop vs controlled roll out). If putting factors in, please share what kind of putter insert you use.

I've yet to play with the E-6 other than a few practice holes. I may find the lack of spin an issue. But darn they are longer than other balls off the tee without feeling like a rock.

It is supposed to be a direct competitor to the ProV1(x) just built for a slower swing speed. I have not tried the B330RX "S" yet. Maybe its better? I just found the Bridgestone E series balls to be garbage. And I tried them several times, including the new 2012 balls with the new dimples. There's just no way those E series balls are any better than a Topflite, or Srixon AD333, Trispeed, Titleist NXT, Noodle, etc… 

Sorry but Ive tried the TriSpeed Tour as well and didnt really see much of a difference.  Its still no competitor to the B330-RX, IMO.

The E6 is designed to reduce sidespin, so you cant expect much backspin from it either.  Try the E5 sometime.  Ive personally never understood all the NXT love.  Its nothing like a Pro V1.

Loving the discussion here guys and having the exact same problems trying to work out what to use.  Ive used the e6 for the last 4 years and have no problems with them.  I have a fairly quick swing speed put struggle for accuracy off the tee.  Used to hook the ball a fair bit and found the e6 straightened me up fairly well.  My short game is bordering on horrendous especially chipping so ive basically been a chip and run type golfer instead of giving it air and working the spin.

Im starting to get better with my chipping and wanted to try a ball that might give me a bit more greenside assistance.

Also the best round ive ever had i used a Titliest NXT.  Not sure how old it was but it was great.  Thinking it was one of the originals for which i havent been able to find since.  Any idea how the NXT compare to the newer NXT Tours???
