2015 Bridgestone e6

I've heard the reps comment the E-series if for the following type players.

And he's referring to mid to high handicappers.

If your ball flight is high play the E-5

If your ball flight is low play the E-7

If you hit it left or right, hit the E-6

He describes the E-6 as a 47 compression rocket with low spin.

I went to the Midwest Golf Expo today and did the Bridgestone Ball Fitting.

I know these guys pretty well and usually shoot the breeze with them about their products.

I hit the E-6 to obtain data with both last generation and their new ball to compare.

They didn't have a printer on site and are going to Email me the report.

A few changes I recall was a change to the dimple pattern and now injecting the outer core into the mold.

Next week I'll send them an email and obtain specs and more tech info for when I write my review for mvmac on the E-6 ball.

The biggest difference you should notice, will be "the feel"

Also, playing the E-6, more roll out on shots that hit greens.

Ball flight longer on cold days, if you like to play golf in cold climates.

And the cost is less.

The E-6 is #2 in ball sales, and catching up with Pro-V's.

I asked our Pro the other day, how are the E-6 sales?

He indicated they sell out and it's hard to obtain re-orders on occasion.

As I mentioned before, the ball is popular to mid and high handicap players.

It is also popular with Senior and Women golfers.

Of all the brands which I stumble across, I find tons of these at our course which I give to my wife to play.

She can have thirty or so in her golf bag at all times.

But when I get my monthly bill there is always charges for a sleeve or dozen of new.

Something about the girls just having to tee up a bright shiny new ball when they play together.

One of my friends plays the E-6 and I asked him to start saving the boxes for me.

Then I'll take and put the good ones which I find into them and put them in with her other new balls.

Figure I'll save enough over the course of a season to buy myself a brew-ski once in a while at the club on Saturday's.

E-6's

I played 8 holes with an e6 yesterday, and my scoring was better than normal.  It was surprising because I'm used to urethane balls.  From the 9th hole onward, I played NXT Tour and Chrome Soft for comparison, and my scoring was worse.  Perhaps there were other factors other than the ball, but it made me a believer of the e6.  Now I want to try the e5 and e7.  I wished I signed up for the ball test now!  At half the cost of Pro V1's, I think e5/e6/e7 may be my new ball...

I have played the e6 and would equate it to the Titleist NXT Tour, both good balls.  However I find the Gamer, Gamer Soft, and Maxfli U/3 all superior balls, usually avavilable at a lower cost than the e6.

The three balls you mentioned are all Dicks Sporting Goods brands... good balls, but I like the Bridgestone line better, I tried the Callaway Chrome Soft when I was in Syracuse last week... Better than the Pro V1x any day of the week, but I ain't good enough for that...
