Bridgestone B330 - Found a new Ball

[aceadair]

-------- The last quality Bridgestone i used for any length of time was the Rextar Pro-Model that a certain nick Faldo used.Does anyone remember those.Boy,did they spin - they made Titleist balata's feel like rock-flite's--------


O THAT HURTS!

Ha Ha Ha

For such a "staunch" supporter of Titleist i dont see many Titleist clubs in your bag..........

[aceadair]

Titleist CLUBS! I am a huge believer in the Titleist Balls. The wedges are the best in golf but I am a firm believer that their balls give me the best chance to score.

[iacas]

My own signature bears out my belief that all Titleist equipment gives me the chance to enjoy what I'm doing the most. Great combination of feel and science, and a bit more "true player's clubs".

That being said, I occasionally play the B330. The V1, for my game, is no good though. Too much spin. Way too much spin.

[aceadair]

I am not talking about the performance of the clubs.. I just dont like the looks of them.. I am sure they preform very well.

...the B330...

TGW.COM has the new B330-S - 15% softer than the original 330's.

That could be something for me

[aceadair]

Cool I just might try them.

B330S - Some reports ive read say that they're just as long as the B330,BUT with extra green-holding spin.Other people say they dont hit them nearly as far as the original.

I would be really interested to here any reports on here from anyone that has had a chance to really test the B330,and now has a good go with the softer "S" version.

go to TGW.COM and type "B330-S" in the "Quick search". It should show you the "Special Offer" on 2-ball trial packs for 3.95 each. That makes a dozen of them only $23.70. If you buy other stuff (or more of them) to cross $75 total order - shipping is free. God Bless America

I've 10 2-packs on the way (see above post about TGW.COM).

Review will be posted

my cousin actually got me a prototype 2-pack way before they fully released it. I had no idea and gave them to my 5 handicap friend.....
anyways, has anyone tried out the Nike One Platinum? i bought a 2-pack cuz it looked cool but it's just sitting in my bag. i'm afraid to lose them lol

...has anyone tried out the Nike One Platinum? ...

Not yet, but friend of mine told me, that if you don't swing like Tiger (120mph+) you'll lose lots of distance with it. That stopped me from trying. I love the blacks, gold ones were fine too ( prov1 and prov1x replacements respectively), let me know how the plats work.

About being afraid of losing it - you right, with today's prizes one shall put these bastards on a string - almost $4 a ball and my course is tight, tight, tight...

[aceadair]

Thats is excatly how I feel when I buy or even been giving a dozen Pro-V's. At almost $5 dollars a ball(with tax and all). Losing them is almost worth a funeral!

hahah

glad to know people feel the same way anyway, i'll try out the platinums tomorrow. i'll need every edge if i want to beat my friend who's a compulsive gambler especially on the course where I play, the fairways are too generous and I'm not a bad iron player

[aceadair]

Good luck!!!

things went well today........
i scrambled a little less than 1 out of every 2 missed greens and i 3 putted only ONCE the entire entire round...

then i pulled out the Nike One Platinum ...

i pulled out the platinum at the 10th hole after i shot a unsatisfying front 9. the first shot at the platinum was a jump start to my downhill ride... i pushed it hard to the right with an 8 iron on the par 3, the same 8 iron i stuck on the green for a par on the previous hole which was also a par 3 (bad course design?). i found the ball and tried to get things together but i ended up picking up......... i figured it was the chinese food i had for lunch that was stirring up that was bugging me but then i push/cut the ball off the tee with my friggin 3-wood into the trees where i scuffed it........ enough said, i'm sticking with the maxfli rev- series
if you want more info on the platinum, check out this site http://www.equip2golf.com/

i had a feeling it was the thought of using such a nice ball but once i lost it, i saw no change in my performance

need to hit the range.......

[aceadair]

Did it feel ok when you hit it wrong?

Did it feel ok when you hit it wrong?

I was playing a callaway HX-Red before I tried out the Nike One Platinum so the Nike ball felt a bit harder in general. I couldn't tell if i hit the nike farther than the callaway because I didn't it well at all. The cover DID seem to feel a little more tacky which was definitely good around the greens. It does feel a bit un-durable but it didn't scuff when i expected it to until i hit a branch pretty hard.

I would suggest this ball for fast swingers because it takes some power to crush this rock and get the most distance out of it AND it has good control around the greens. for everyone else with either a low budget or a swing speed under 105-110ish, stick to something more affordable and fit for ur swing speed
