I went online to bridgestone golf and got ball fitted. I was fitted for the Tour B330 S, and saw that it was selling for $34.99! Is this low price a reflection of its quality? Or is it just a steal? I want a quality ball, and i fear that the bridgestone ball isnt as quality as a Srixon or Titleist. Input please!

Thanks

The B330 S is a great ball -- many of their TOUR staff play it.  Bridgestone sometimes drops the price of their quality balls.  I've seen the B330 RX - the ones I play - for as low as $30 per dozen.

If you see them doing an in-person challenge (check their schedule), you'll hit your non-Bridgestone ball on their launch monitor, then they'll suggest a Bridgestone ball and you hit that.  Then they give you a sleeve of their suggested balls.  It got me to play the e6 a few years ago, and I've played mostly Bridgestone balls since then.

Bridgestones are great balls, IMO they are just a bit superior to Srixons in terms of quality.  The reason why you are seeing the price drop on the B330-S is because its a ball thats been out for a few years.

Ive used Bridgestones and Srixons and while Srixon makes a great ball IMO Bridgestones are better in terms of distance, spin and cover durability.  Even using AD333s my wedges cut the heck out of the cover of the ball.  I can use Precept Laddie-Xs (Bridgestone's budget brand) for several rounds and not have anywhere near as much cover wear.

That's a very good deal on an excellent ball.    I've been experimenting over the last couple years with Pro V1's, Z-Star, Penta, and the B330S and I keep coming back to the Bridgestone as the one I pull out of the bag.    I'd say it is just as good quality wise as all of these others, has very good distance and great feel around the greens.    I'd love to find them at that price in my area - I'd stock up for the year!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
