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!

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
