This is the link to my review :) But I will also post it here :)

Pros: High spin on chips, pitches and wedges, Great sounding ball, Great overall feel

Cons: Quite high spinning off te driver

After being chosen to test the brand new Bridgestone B330-s I was very excited to see what the new ball had to offer. i had been using the Callaway Hex Chrome + before this ball and was interested to see how the spin compared. Now lets get to the review.

Off the tee:

As I walked tot he first tee I did not really know what to think about this golf ball. i had used it before but was never really a fan of the feel of the ball. I stepped to the first tee and hit the ball right off of the center of the club face and saw my ball sail about 260 (with the ball actually jumping back an inch) and I was very impressed. The sound off of the driver was surprisingly soft and sounded perfect to me.

Long irons and Fairway woods:

Nothing abnormal to report on this. Was not overly impressed with the feel or spin with the long irons or fairway woods. It was fine but nothing special.

Short and Middle irons:

During the round I was surprised multiple times at the way this ball spun. I was bringing the ball back with everything from 7 iron down and could get everything else to one hop and stop.

Wedges:
All I can say is wow, these balls can spin. I could get my wedges to rip back with ease. I was very impressed with the feel and spin off the wedges.

Putter

Felt fine off of the putter. Enjoyed the sound but was nothing special.

Durability

The ball was pretty durable but the cart path did not get along with it. Had no scratches after coming out of the bunker so I was very happy with that. I had been having an issue with that so this ball got it right.

Distance:

Good distance but I did lose a little bit of distance due to the extra spin. The small loss was no bigger than 3 yards

Launch Angle

Launch was good and exactly where I would expect a spin golf ball to be.

Is there a time frame for which to submit a review? I've got my balls, but I'm still trying to fit in a round at a full-length course. (Have had a couple of practice rounds at par-3 courses, but no impression with longer clubs yet.)

Some guys just got their balls so there is no set deadline for everyone to get their reviews in by. I would suggest getting it in within the next week or so.

      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?
