Bridgestone B330-RXS Golf Ball Review
By S. Dee Davis
What’s cool about this ball (and some of Bridgestone’s others) is that the company really makes an effort to tell you exactly where this ball fits in to the golfers goals in terms of swing speed, spin and level. The B330RXS is optimized for under 105 swing speeds from the amateur golfer that wants good distance but maximized spin for this swing speed. The ball has a dual-dimple design which is designed to help with wind performance as well as aerodynamics for distance. The cover is very soft (urethane) for control around the greens. Even though my swing speed is 110 with a driver I sometimes prefer a ball like this when I’m struggling and go to a shorter backswing. Cost is around $45 per dozen – pretty steep for a dual layer ball.
Strengths
Dual Dimple technology (330 dimples) Top Spin ball for holding greens Allows for maximum compression at lower swing speeds Soft off the putter face and short shots around greens Handicap Sweetspot for B330-RXS: 7-15 Weaknesses Increased spin exposes (or enhances) slices, hooks off the tee Increased spin reduces distance somewhat Price |
