I play of 4 handicap. My SS is 105 to 110. I play the B 330 or B330s depending on the greens we play. Soft greens B330 and firm greens B330S. The ProV's are great but I cannot controll the spin on short irons and putting the feel is to soft. the Pro's love ProV's and it is a great ball. My point, pick a ball that works for you, dont shoot down the other brands, why must your ball be better than the other, point is, select a ball that works for you. From a group of 60 players at a recent event I played, I was the only one playing Bridgestone, at the end at least 5 people wanted to try the ball B330S. I have played the RX and my wife who playes of 5 handicap changed from ProV and Srixon Z Star to the RX and RXS main reason, she gets more distance on driver and more durable than both ProV and Srixon. she is one of the best I have ever seen around the green, the RX spin less then ProV and Srixon but the RXS is fantastic her SS is 80 to 90 with Driver. In our country Bridgstone cost 15% less than ProV's so performance and value for money TOPS. Last point, you pay $ 300 for driver, $ 650 for irons etc then you want to play a $ 2 ball? ?

Why do people write BS reviews? The RX has a softer core than any titleist period. The NXT’s are NOT softer feeing than the RX! Why do people write BS reviews?

I then switched to the B330s and was really surprised with the performance of the ball. So when the 330 rx came out I tried it and really like the ball. For me the B330s and the 330 rx out preforms any other balls out on the market today. I play to a 1 handicap, played the pro v1 when they first came out.

I can tell you from playing both the B330RX and B330S the big difference is in the amount of compression and greenside control. The B330RX is intended for players with slower swing speeds under 100 MPH, so the ball will compress more at slower swing speeds, etc. Stay tuned for an official response from Bridgestone Golf and my follow up post on golf ball fitting. Thanks Rob Hi Don,

Swing speed 90mph. I cannot tell the difference for the life of me. Also, I live adjacent to a par 5 landing area of a local golf club, found a Nike Vapor in my back yard . NOT BAD if you need soft, but not close to the above. Don Can an expert help me in determining the major difference in performance between the 330S and the RX ? Swing speed 90mph.

Because my swing speed is only 99mph, (52years old), I really looked forward to the new 330RX. Twice got fitted for it at the Bridgestone ball challenge, they claimed 1o more yards compared to the 330S, do to reduced backspin and better launch angle. Well I tried them for 5 rounds... just not a good ball for me. Feels mushy, and actually lost distance, It was always warm weather so maybe I"ll try again in the winter. For me I am back to the 330S.

I don't play different balls throughout a season. So far half way thru 2009 I am pleasantly surprised with the RX performance and durability. I hit it as far, maybe farther, than the Pro V1x and definitely get more spin and stopping power around the greens. Good ball worth a try. Worth the price and hype? To me it is.

I have been playing the Pro V1 ball for about 2 years. The golf guy at Dick's talked me into trying the Bridgestone B330 RX. The reason was because of my relatively low swing speed(91). I found no advantage in distance at all. They don't seem to stop as quick as the Pro V1 on the greens either. I agree with one of the other comments about the similatity of this ball with the NXT tour ball. That being the case, the NXTs are a better value for the buck.

Prior to these I played the NXT Tour. The Bridgestone feels slightly softer than the NXT Tour and longer on my drives than the V1x. So, it is a great combo for my 95-99 MPH driver swing speed, plus it checks better than the NXT. I also made the switch from the Pro V1x to this ball. Prior to these I played the NXT Tour.
