I just tried the Bridgestone B330 and was very impressed, long off the tee and great spin around the green and seems more durable than the PROV-1.


Anybody else play the B330 series golf ball? what result have you had?

I see that they are selling for about $34-$35 a dozen total cost. I am considering switching from the PROV-1s

I loved the Tour B-330, then tried the Rx, which feels much better. Softer than the Pro V1, IMO. Good playablility in close.

Just got a sleeve of the e5+ that I'm going to try. I did their online ball fitting and it told me I needed the e5+ so hopefully they are good! Usually I just play whatever rocks I find in the woods, but I'm getting tired of the balls rolling off the green & not holding. I have tried Pro V1 and they used to stop fine for me but lately they have been rolling off too.

How do they compare with the TP black/red?

Pretty comparable. I played B330's and then B330-S's last year but have recently switched to TP red's while they have the 2 for $55 deal going on. The Bridgestones are a bit better overall IMHO. Bit longer and pretty comparable in spin.

I just got back from the course, and played the pro v1x, callaway tour ix, nike one black, and b330.

I think that my current favorite is the B330. Good spin around the greens, and doesn't seem to spin as much off the driver. The Callaway and the Pro V1x seemed to me to spin the most in non-straight driver and iron shots.

I did make two long putts with the premium balls though. (30 and 40 footers) I couldn't, however, make any 5-7 footers. Ain't golf great?

Still have lots more testing to do, though. I didn't see a ton of difference between the premiums and my current ball, the TM TP LDP.

Regards,

Gary

The TM TP is definitely considered a premium ball, despite the currently low sale prices. This is the top of the line ball for TaylorMade, and I am strongly considering taking a look at it even though I still have a dozen B330s and Pro V1s.

Hi Ruckus,

I did not type correctly, I mean the TM Burner TP LDP, is my current ball. Regards, Gary

I'm half way through a box of B330-RX's. I like the feel off the tee, and have no complaints, will probably buy again.

But you don't like them enough to play them? Your signature has you playing the Pro V... Just busting your balls... Man I'm on a roll this morning...

I switched to the B330's last year. I agree with above posts regarding feel and durability. My local shop put the original 330's on sale when the new ones came out. I got a few dozen for $32. Inventory ran out quickly.

I love the B330-S. First time that I haven't played a Titleist in as long as I can remember. It's a great ball.

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
