My game is pretty erratic so I like the more budget oriented varieties. I've tried just about every ball out there this year, I get them used from a local shop and give them a try. I've settled on the Srixon AD333 and Bridgestone E6+ as my favorites. I also like the Precept LaddieX, it seems to be quite long. Not as soft feeling, IMO, as the other two listed but it's not bad.

Only ball I can truly say I didn't like, the Bridestone B330. I was a full club to club and a half short with three separate B330s.

Interesting. I like the E7s and E6s - fine ball for the money. I was pretty disappointed with the B330-RX the first time I used them. Then I found that that was all I had in the trunk, so I played them again. Now, it is my tournament ball of choice. On a full shot to the green, I want the ball to stick where I hit it and the B330s does that. I also like it a bit better off the putter than the Titleist Pro-V1x.

I got a sleeve of the B330-S, but never got around to giving them a go. And now that it's getting much cooler, I pretty much missed the opportunity to give them a fair shot (at least for this year).

Maybe compression level is too high for you? I stick with the softer balls myself...technique lacks a bit for me to really kill the better balls.

From all the driving distances I see posted here I must be the shortest driver here. I have been using the Callaway Warbird Plus. Doesn't stop worth a darn but I get a lot of extra carry.

I've tried them all.... in the end, the B330-S seemed to be the best all around. Not the longest, not the softest, not the highest wedge spin.... just right in the middle.

Shot an 81 this weekend with a Maxfli Noodle (one ball the whole round!)

I keep thinking about picking up a box. I always get torn between those and the Mojo, but I end up leaving with Callaway's 07 Warbirds for some reason.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
