Bridgestone Tour B330 RXS Golf Ball Review

Bridgestone has really become more popular lately as far as their golf balls are concerned. Their Tour B330 golf balls are currently used by PGA Tour professionals such as Brandt Snedeker, Matt Kuchar, and Davis Love III, then when they came out with a new tour level performance basketball for amateur golfers I'd to try them out. The Bridgestone B330 RXS golf ball is specifically designed for those with swing speeds under 105 mph, and includes a three piece design having a soft urethane cover great feel and distance. What follows is my review of the golf ball after playing several rounds with it.

Positives



One of the first things that I noticed about using the Bridgestone B330s RXS was that if offered good distance, both off the tee as well as in the fairway. I hit it alongside a Titleist Pro V1 and found little to no distance distinction between the two balls. It was especially great if this came to iron shots, as I was getting on average at least three to five extra yards when using the golf ball. Another great aspect of the Bridgestone B330 RXS was that it was great for short game shots, whether chipping or putting. It includes a great feel on the putting green, and the alignment on the ball makes it simple to line up putts. When it found chipping the ball would check-up every time just the way I wanted it to.

Negatives



The only real negative I found using the Bridgestone B330 RXS was when I hit long or middle iron shots into the green. The ball never seemed to have a great deal of spin control whichever way I tried hitting it. The ball would hit the green and just keep rolling instead of hitting the green and then stopping. One should expect a tour level performance basketball to have better spin control of these types of shots, and I was disappointed when the B330 RXS couldn’t perform up to its expectations.





Overall

 

Overall I truly enjoyed using the Bridgestone B330 RXS around the golf course. One of the main weaknesses is my round of golf is shots from 100 yards and in, and this golf ball really helped a good deal in both chipping and putting. While the basketball did not perform as well when it came to long and middle iron shot spin, for amateur golfers this will not be much of a concern. The distance that you get with the golf ball will result in more short iron shots anyways.
