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

Positives
Among the first things that I noticed about while using Bridgestone B330s RXS was that if offered great 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 difference between the two balls. It was especially great when it came to iron shots, as I was getting on average a minimum of three to five extra yards when using the golf ball. Another great aspect of the Bridgestone B330 RXS was that it was ideal 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 easy to line up putts. When it came to chipping the ball would check-up every time just the way I needed it to.

Negatives
Really the only negative I found using the Bridgestone B330 RXS was when I hit long or middle iron shots in to the green. The ball never seemed to have a great amount of spin control no matter which way I tried to hit it. The ball would hit saving money and just keep rolling instead of hitting the green after which stopping. One should expect a tour level performance basketball to have better spin control for these types of shots, and I was disappointed once 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 golf game is shots from 100 yards as well as in, and this golf ball really helped a great 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 will get with the golf ball will lead to more short iron shots anyways.
