Bridgestone Golf Balls & Clubs

In theory, it should be easier and more compelling to review putters and drivers than irons -- we use the putter for about 30% (or more) of our total shots per round, and the driver for another 15% (though probably on at least 75% of the total holes) -- but there ...

This Bridgestone B330 RX ball is an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence (and sane golf enthusiast). It's a tour golf ball designed for amateur swing speeds. What does that even mean? I think it means you get to pay more money for a ball ...

You're looking at the Bridgestone E7+. This ball has been out for a while and has since been replaced with the new Bridgestone E7, but I'm partial to the E7+. And I'll tell you why.

Both balls are constructed virtually the same. This is a multilayer ...

This is the Bridgestone E7. It's geared more for distance, specifically for a low piercing trajectory. Let's open up the hood and take a look:

The E7 is the next generation of the E7+, only the E7 seems even harder to me. These balls are multilayer balls that go long ...

This is the top of the food chain for golf balls. It doesn't get any better than this. The Bridgestone Tour B330-S is a premium tour ball designed for tour pros and low handicappers. Of course anybody can enjoy them if they are willing to throw down ...

This is Bridgestone's E5 golf ball. It is designed for you golfers looking for a higher ball flight. Let's take a closer look.

The E5 is a two-piece golf ball consisting of a soft urethane cover and an energy core. The cover is completely seamless which ...

This is Bridgestone's E5+ golf ball. It is designed for you golfers looking for a higher ball flight with a very soft feel and a lot of spin around the greens. Let's take a closer look.

The E5+ is a two-piece golf ball consisting of a soft urethane cover ...

This is a new twist on the B330-RX. The concept behind these two golf balls (the Tour B330-RXS and the B330RX) is they are a tour-quality golf ball designed for amateurs without the tour-quality swings.

Let's get into the nuts and bolts: The main thing that makes ...

You're looking at tools of a champion. Champion Tour's Freddy Couples is swinging these. They seem to be working, as he has dominated the Champions Tour since he burst onto the scene. Fred has been playing at the top of his game and hitting these irons pure.

They ...

Here's a beautiful Bridgestone Driver. I'm a big fan of the traditional-shaped drivers, and this one meets my tastes. It still is a huge 460cc clubhead, and the rigid sole reduces driver spin and promotes a higher launch angle for maximum carry.

My favorite thing about the club ...

"Responsive" is the word I would us to describe these cavity back irons. The J36 is made with 1020 carbon steel which is extremely soft. When you hit the ball on the grooves, you can really feel it, and "Man Oh Man" does it feel good. ...

"Boom Boom" Freddy Couples is the Bridgestone man. I'm pretty sure he doesn't play these particular E6+ golf balls, but Lee Trevino might. And I'm betting you should.

This is a moderately priced ball for the mid to high handicappers. It's a three-piece ball consisting of a core, mantle ...

Well looky here… You've reached the top of the food chain of amateur golf balls. If you are looking at spending $40 on a golf ball, I'm going to assume you've got a pretty good golf swing and knowledge about golf balls, so let's cut to the chase.

This ball ...

Freddy Couples is the man! He's Mr. Cool, with the silky smooth tempo and the "I couldn't care less" attitude. He's the Bridgestone poster boy, and is also why I tried these Bridgestone Tour 330s.

It's a great ball design for low handicappers with fast swing speeds. ...
