Bridgestone Balls

[dave39]

Hey guys, I have just picked up a couple of Bridgestone B330-S balls and they seem to feel like the ProV1x off the putter face. They are not as expensive but now I am really curious about their performance. There won't be a course open around me for months to come so I am wondering if you guys can provide me with some real life performance reviews on these balls. Are the B330 very similar to the B330-S? What is suppose to be the difference?

Also, I am curious about the Bridgestone e5 and e6. What do they feel like compared to the B330-S?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

I haven't played the B330, but picked up a box of the E6s recently. I really liked them. In that price range, my personal preference would be either that or the HX Hot.

I don't know about the B330-S - they're definitely not for me quite yet - but the e6 is in competition with the DT So/Lo, not the ProV1x and feels similar to me.

i love the e6's and the b330s they are amazing of the tee and on the green

I absolutely love the B330-S. The spin rate is perfect for me. They have a nice click off the putter face. The ball feels lively, not soft and dead. Some players may want a softer, quieter ball.

I played the B330 and e5 for most of 2006 but switched to the "S" in early '07 and haven't looked back.

I would only recommend this ball if you have the swing speeds to compress it (irons and driver). If you do, you'll love the reaction off the face. The B330 is longer, but if you can compress the "S" then distance is not an issue for you.

The new e5+ (mid priced/high spin) is a huge improvement over the e5 with its urethane cover. The click is a little muted but it is a soft ball with excellent spin and distance. Comparable distance to the B330-S. I use this ball for casual rounds and practice.

Last year Rock was blowing them out for 25 a dozen so I brought 10 dozen and loved everyone of them.Long and I could really back them up on the greens.Only problem was they seemed to scruff up a little easier then Pro v 1 but like I said I brought 10 dozen so I had plenty for the whole season.

Anyone know the big difference between the e5 and the e5+?

The urethane cover on the e5+ is superior to the surlyn used on the e5.

It is softer. The core was reworked as well. This ball flies further than the e5.

The original e5 also had a urethane cover.

My bad.

This is definetely a different ball over the e5...for the better IMO.

Love the B330-S!

Little bit firmer off the putter, but it's longer off the tee, more stable in the wind, and spins every bit as much around the greens as a ProV1.

OK, I just bought a dozen e5+ for $24.99. I will report back next week.
