Bridegstone Tour B330-RX Golf Ball

Update: Enter to Win 2 Dozen Bridgestone Golf Balls

You’ve probably read about how important it is to get fitted for the right golf clubs, but it probably didn’t cross your mind, that the golf ball you play should match your swing speed. Most golfers, myself included, want a ball that’s going to add more distance, have great greenside spin, and feel. Until now, such features were only found in premium Tour-caliber golf balls aimed at golfer with fast swing speeds of 105 mph or greater.  This September Bridgestone Golf released their new Tour B330-RX golf ball, geared for golfers with moderate swing speeds (85-105 mph). I’ve been testing the new Bridgestone Tour B330-RX golf ball for last month and the results were quite amazing.

Off the tee

In my tests I compared the Bridgestone Tour B330-RX to a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. The Bridgestone Tour B330-RX golf ball is a soft multilayer urethane ball featuring a large and soft gradational core for forgiveness and soft feel, mantle layer core for high repulsion and workability, and soft urethane cover with Seamless 330 dimple design. The reason for the softer core is to allow the ball to fully compress, especially for players with slower swing speeds, like myself.  This is going to do two things, one it will produce a shot that will launch higher and two, it will reduce the amount of spin off your driver. I produce a lot of sidespin on my dirves, so this feature was more than welcome. During the tests I noticed my drives were launching at an optimal launch angle and traveling much further than with my Pro V1. I was getting a gain of at least 5 – 8 yards on average with my driver using the Tour B330-RX golf ball.  The results with my irons was not as significant in terms of extra distance, but the ball was very easy to shape my shots with. The Tour B330-RX golf ball utilizes the same Soft Urethane Seamless dimple design, like its sister products Tour B330-S and Tour B330, so you get pinpoint accuracy with your irons and short game scoring shots.

Short Game

No where on the golf course is feel more important than in the short game. I’m very big on feel when attempting that greenside chip, 5 foot putt, or 30 yard approach shot. I want my golf ball to feel responsive and stop on a dime when it hits the green.  The Bridgestone Tour B330-RX does not disappoint when it comes to the short game and scoring shots. The Soft Urethane Seamless dimple design cover gives the Tour B330-RX, that premium enhanced feel in and around the green that I desire. When it came to putting the Tour B330-RX was easy to line up with its pronounced aim line and had a nice feel.  When it came to pitch shots and chips, the Bridgestone Tour 330-RX provided the high spin and control that you want from a premium golf ball. My shots would stop on a dime when they hit the green, very similar to what you get with Titleist Pro V1. 

Overall the Bridgestone Tour 330-RX is an excellent golf ball that provides Tour-Caliber performance for golfers with slower swing speeds who want long driving distance off the tee with great spin and control in the short game.
