I'd be interested. Of the e-series balls, the fitting recommends the e-6 more than the e-5.

Sure makes me wish I were in a warmer climate (I wish that anyways). Being a high handicapper, I have been trying out both the e-5 and e-6 to see what I like better.

Huh. The online fitting says e6, which I used to play before switching to the B330-RX. If you still need someone to use the e6 for a round or two, I can commit to playing in February with them and writing a review. If you want me to try one of the other ones, I'm okay with that too.

If no one volunteers for the e7, I would like to. Just understand I have offered to cover the e5, and a fellow I play with will strike the e7. I have seen him carry 275-285 consistently enough to be curious what he thought of a distance ball.

Count me in.   My wife plays E6 instead of lady's ball.  I can review any of the above.  You will get two reviews in one :-) .

I'll see what I can do. I sent the list of names to our Bridgestone guy last night. Last post in the thread was almost 4 days ago so I figured that was everyone.

I would love to try some new balls, currently play the E6, but the way my game is coming around I been debating on upgrading to a more responsive ball. Playing in and around the Atlanta area, 3-4 times per week.

I'm thinking about swapping the ball because I have fixed a lot of the problems with my game, after the knee injury I picked up a wicked slice and it was a hard one to correct. Now I'm driving straight and averaging around the 290+ mark with a slight left to right draw. My swing speeds are pretty stout, I'm a big guys at 6'5" tall and 255lbs, and I'm not overweight. My average swing speed is 118, but if I twist on it I have been as high as 127.

PM sent.  I current play the older E6 because I bought several dozen during a sale but would love to try the newer version.

Thanks in advance.

If you're still looking for some volunteers, I'll be more than glad to try them out and write a review.

Mine came today too! I've been chipping with it in the basement for the past 40 minutes and so far this ball baffles me. It's performing so differently from what I expected. That's not a good or bad thing, it's just weird. Only ball that played like this has been the Callaway Supersoft but the compression differences are massive, so that's not it. I'm glad I have some time before I can play it on the course because it's going to take some time to get used to.

So if I melted one with a torch would it explode or something?

What in the world would make you want to do that? Do you typically melt your golf balls when you play with them?

I had some that were a few tenths off in weight from the median so I thought some destructive testing might be in order.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
