The company now has its eyes set on the American market and is ready to unveil a new line of golf clubs and balls early in 2005. First to roll off the Bridgestone line is a new top of the line golf ball, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pga.com\/equipment\/equipment-showcase\/bridgestone122004.cfm\" title=\"Tour B330\" class=\"external external_icon\">Tour B330<\/a>. The ball will compete against Titleist&#8217;s Pro V1 and V1X golf balls targeted at professionals and better amateurs. Bridgestone claims the ball, &#8220;will provide unparalleled distance and accuracy to better players and is less affected by wind than its competitors but does not sacrifice distance and feel.&#8221; The Tour B330 has already seen action on tour, Fred Couples used it to win the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/tournaments\/r051\" title=\"Skins Game\" class=\"external external_icon\">2004 Skins Game<\/a> and has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pga.com\/news\/equipment\/otherequipment\/bridgestone_121104.cfm\" title=\"Bridgestone Plans to Become a Player\" class=\"external external_icon\">signed<\/a> on with the company as a pitch man.
