I got fit for these balls after playing a ProV1 at a Bridgestone fitting event and I must say I am one who did NOT enjoy the switch. I played the B330-S for one round, 1st - ProV1- 82, 2nd - B330-S - 88(NO fun). Anyways, here is a quick overview.

1. Playability - I will probably award it 3 out of 5. I was able to work the ball but for some reason could NOT get the ball to check even when I had shavings of the ball in my wedges. Distance was pretty similar to the ProV1..

2. Feel - 3/5 here, Not hard but not soft, there was a weird feeling compared to even cheaper balls that didn't have the softness I was wanting out of the ball and my SS is at around 107 with my driver.

3. Durability - 4/5. I was able to pretty much use the same ball for a long period of time while playing but until I really hit down on it and tried my hardest to get it to check it got shaved.

So I did not really enjoy the Bridgestone route even when I tried the balls there at the event they seemed really good, so it was weird to spend the money on them and have 3 1/2 sleeves left and NOT want to even look at them.

Anyone else go to Bridgestone balls and go back or was fitted for them and not like them?

The B330 s is my favorite of all the Bridgestone lines. The RX sucks and the original spins too much, which adds up to less distance. I played bridgestone exclusively when the B330 s came out, but switched back to the Pro-V1x shortly after, I have since dropped the X for the original

I would rather play Nike rocks than ever put a Bridgestone ball in my bag again. The feel was absolutely atrocious. I used them as hazard balls until they were finally gone.

I don't understand ..... You state a B330 spins more than your favorite B330 S ...... I tried all four versions, but in my view it is the other way around...... my favorites are the B330 S and B330 RXS, but like you I went back to the Pro V1x ...... but might well end up going to the 2011 Pro V1, which should be in between the 2009 Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

What can you say after playing just 1 round, scores could have been the other way around ....... all those premium balls are very close 6 strokes difference, it is not the ball.....

Huhhhhh, "absolutely very bad" ????????????

Hitting 11/14 fairways, magical sand play and iron play needing a big improvements ("other recent thread") and the unlimited experience to judge balls at hc 22.5 ....... Y'd better first start hitting balls at the sweetspot, before making nonsense comments on Nike Rocks, Bridgestone makes great balls ...... Period ! (maybe not for you ........ maybe you're getting paid by Titleist to promote Pro V1's).

I will gladly take those Bridgestone balls off your hands so you don't have to look at them.

I read somewhere your SS is 105 mph.  The higher compression AD333 should in theory give you more distance than the lower compression softfeel.  I agree AD333 indeed has awesome soft feel.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
