Since filming this clip we are saddened to hear that Jason Day’s mother has passed away. All our thoughts are with him at this very tough time. ❤️

I play the ProV1, and I'm not about to change, but once when I got to the course and realized all my balls were sitting on the practice green at home, I got "stuck" buying Bridgestones because they had no ProVs. Found them to be outstanding. I don't mind playing them in the absence of ProVs.

I used to play TP5 and loved them, but swapped to Bridgestone Tour B XS a couple of years ago and absolutely love them. Great distance, spin and feel. They seem to really cut through head winds better than others I’ve tried also.

I love the Bridgestone RXS. It’s the lower swing speed spinier model. Feels soft. Great control around the greens. My wedges can stop on a dime and even get a little back spin when hit well. Great ball overall would recommend to anyone.

Bridgestone balls are the best. I always get an extra 15-20 yards of roll on my skulled and topped shots. Who wouldn't want an extra 500 yards per round?

Thoughts and prayers with Jason. The little glimpse we got into his life with his mom and her art on the PGA cribs type video was great. So much love in the family. RIP.

I’m a huge fan of the Bridgestone e6 Soft. I love the feel of them off the putter face and they spin really well for me. Even off the tee with the driver, I just like the distance I get. Plus they are not that expensive.

Well Rick after your review I’ve purchased the Kirkland v2 and played once so far in strong winds and really enjoyed the spin it gave but found the extra spin and or it’s larger size knocked more distance off in the windy conditions so I plan to play the v2 in non windy conditions and play seed pro tour on windier days, also the v2 sounds really hard when you give it a good whack but still somehow has great spin property’s, thanks for the content Rick

Love the Callaway Supersoft Matt Finish in Orange as the work well, good distance and feel for putting, easy to find as they are bright ❤️

When I just started playing, bought myself some e6 speeds..Really cheap, longest ball I’d played and gave me my first ever backspin on the green, making me look much better than I was! Going to test some for this season.

I have a Bridgestone ball with the FULL name on it in my bag! Although my current go to is Taylor Made Distance Plus, when I get them on the sweet spot they absolutely go, they don’t spin a whole lot but they do keep running, and I’m happy to take the distance as a casual player. And I remember even younger, I always had a drawing to TM

As a golfer who wants a good ball but doesn’t want to spend an extreme amount of money for balls I love vice feel great and are cheaper then all the other huge brands out there

I play the Tour B RXS. Love the feel off the putter. Primary reason why I switched. But when the price went up it’s just another ball on the market. It was a no brainer before due to the performance and added value. Soon I’m going to test the TP5. I’ve played the 5 proto but never the store ball. Pro v1x still feels harsh off a non insert putter. I’m older and grew up with Tour Balata 90’s. So I’m still looking for that feel.

Love Titleist ProVi1x, Bridgestone and TP5x. Right now playing TP5x and it's been great.

I like Callaway balls because they make cool patterns like the black and yellow one or the soccer ball one. It's easy to see during flight, putting and what-not. It just provides a lot of useful feedback.

I switched from the TP5 to Tour BXS. Love it. Didn’t think I’d ever say that but it’s the most stable ball in the wind and very soft. Love it

I’m a huge fan of their e12 contact balls. Look a little weird with the special dimples, but they feel so good around the greens. I usually play prov1 but I’ve tested a lot of the more budget balls and those e12s were my favorite of the mid-price balls

Really interested in trying more Bridgestone balls…more interested in Guy’s gym routine though, looking great!

After playing the Pro V1 and Srixon Z Star XV for what seems like forever! I recently had a session with my club fitter to have my lofts and lies adjusted and asked the fitter as well as my coach if they could also fit my ball. I hit just about EVERY major brand and model over several days and we settled on the Bridgestone B XS. As Rick mentioned, it checked every box for me in terms of feel, sound, and performance (most importantly it put my spin ranges in the perfect ranges all the way through the bag) and go figure the other 2 out of my top 3 were the only others that I got similar results with. I will be playing this ball for the foreseeable future!

Really like Bridgestone Green...That is how I tell them apart...the colour of the box. Solid feel. great distance and nice control around the greens.

For me the absolute best golf ball brand is srixon, I've never been disappointed by any of their balls, I also like volvik and callaway, but srixon remains top

Agree with Guy on being confused by them ! Feels like I need to pick up every box of them and cross reference to club head speak then check again and just can’t be arsed.

I’ve played with probably every golf ball known to man at this point, and I stand behind Vice balls. As of late I’ve really enjoyed the Pro Drip which is quite different from your general white ball but tics all the boxes. Especially around the green

I live here in the states I forget what exact Bridgestone ball line I was using but my father gifted a set of 12 to me with the Green Bay packer logos on them that we saw at my local sports store as a 15 year old who’s brand new golf they seemed cool. I didn’t really care about the best brands of ball or clubs just what looked cool.So I used them my whole year 10 and year 12 (covid canceled year 11 and snow canceled year 9 so I only played 2 seasons they lasted my all 35 matches i played I didn’t often loose many golf balls and in those 2 years while my score wasn’t the best averaged low 80s I shot 2 hole In ones and 1 par 5 albatross and 3 eagles in competition so I would say they always game me confidence. Now that I’m graduated while it’s still snowy here in Wisconsin I haven’t been out since early October I’m going to try other golf brands liek pro V1 Tp 5 and chromesofts. I use mostly Calloway golf clubs so I might try the cool little soccer balls.

Love playing the Bridgestone BRXS. Perfectly suited to my swing speed. I get great distance and excellent soft feel and spin on the greens.

I enjoyed both the 2020 Tour BX and Tour BXS balls. Just recently bought some 2022 Tour BX balls. Very similar performance, but for me just a touch softer. Longer off the driver as well. Very pleased so far.

I’ve only played Bridgestone balls that I’ve found in the woods. My personal favorite ball is the tp5. I prefer it to tp5x as well. Just the spin and workability around the green is what I prefer. The feel to me on chips and putts is perfect. Also great off the tee.

I had been playing ProV1's for years but switched to the Bridgestone BXS because I needed something that spun less off the driver but still held greens. I picked up good distance off the tee, no problem with stopping power on the greens and so much softer than the ProV1. Great ball, I'll never go back.

I'm not a good enough golfer for the ball I play to matter too much, but I love the Vice Pro Plus. Great ball for a better price than the big brands!

I play the Bridgestone Tour B XS ball. Originally bought a box of Tiger balls for the novelty of them but found they are an all round performer and love them compared to anything else I've played with. Also helps that they come in yellow too!

Hi Rick I use bridgestone e12 contact and I love them as I have a slow swing speed. But also I like the B as on the tee I set it up to help me keep my body still on my back swing

I really like Bridgestone. I find Tigers ball quite spinny. The tour BX feels and performs great. When I run out of my supply of ProV1 balls, I'll be giving Bridgestone a solid try. I'm in America and I agree the marketing is much less than other premium balls

I'm a big fan of Bridgestone golf balls. My swing speed is moderate, so I play the Tour B Rx. I have tried some of the others, and they are all good. I recently bought a pack of E12 Contact and they are also very good especially at that price point. The one small criticism in general is that the cover isn't as durable as some others; however, they are substantially cheaper than a box of Pro V1. I did find and use one of the new Pro V1 balls recently, it did seem to be more durable than the Bridgestone but it didn't have that nice soft feel, although I did enjoy playing with it. I'll stick with my Bridgestones; they are excellent balls!

Ive played lots of ProV1/ProV1X, Chrome softs and tp5 but I always keep coming back to the Srixon Z Star XV. I absolutely love the feel, the spin rate and distance. Srixon balls are very underrated.

i played the XS (tiger ball) all through 2020 and absolutely loved it. wish they were a little more durable but MAN they’re incredible. currently playing the TP5. the new cover that came out last year i feels so much like that XS ball. a big improvement for the TP5/TP5x series.

Just joined the club house! But with being caught up, I really enjoy this style of clip with additional content! Great work guys!!!

Tour BX is a decently performing premium ball as you have described, it's also regularly available for c £30 or under for a dozen. I purchased 24 in a special edition colourway for £54. Great value as the balls are very durable as well (hitting trees aside!)

Guys, if you know your swing speeds you can literally look at the back of the box and it shows you a guide for your potential ball to go with. I've tried them all but for me I play the Tour B RX, amazing all around ball at least for me. I have been dabbling with the Seed Pro1 and those are excellent golf balls as well and let's mention Snell MTB Black golf balls to be in the mix as well.

I got into golf the last two years and tried a decent amount of ball brands / types (reasoable for my budget). Bridgestone and Pix were my two favourites. Hopefully working at a pro shop this year so I can't wait to try a couple more brands this year and nail down my preference. Probably one of the most important components of your golf game but seems to get overlooked a lot.

Loving these little bonus clips lads. A welcome sticky toffee pudding to the main podcast!

I've played the Bridgestone E-6 and E-12 prior to using Srixon. I bought two boxes of Srixon Q-Star tour when they were on sale and have stuck with them. I've found little difference if any in performance but the Srixon feels firmer to me than the Bridgestone and to my eye a brighter white, easier to pick up in the air. I'm getting a little older and that's a real benefit. Both are excellent for my slower swing speed.

For an average golfer like myself who only has a swing speed between 85-90 and only hits the driver around 200 yards, one particular golf ball over another doesnt really make that big a difference. I have tried several different brands and all of them are great and go about the distance for me. Now for those that do have swing speeds over 110 mph, a particular golf ball may make a big difference. Plus being able to spin the balls on the green. So the high end golf balls are for the better golfers, but not for my style of play. I now rely more on my short game to score. thanks for the video. take care. I do find some of these high quality golf balls that end up out of bounds, so I get most of these free by other golfers straying off the golf course.

The Bridgestone ball is a very good ball, I switch back and forth from it and the TP5 . My thoughts and prayers are with Jason and his family.

I play Wilson Duo Soft golf balls. I'm a classic golfer, with persimmon woods, forged blades, and a Bulls Eye putter. The Duo Softs feel best on classic clubs, like the old Titleist Tour Balatas the pros used to play back in the day.

As a higher handicapper my best ball is the Srixon divide. The feel for me is perfect and it assists my putting no end. I’ve not played a Bridgestone but I feel it would be wasted on me

Great clip Rick. We all have Jason and his family in our prayers. I played Bridgestone Tour BXS for years but switched to the TP5 because in Vermont it was to find. For this season coming up I have gone with the Srixon Z-Star XV... The flight seems to suit me a bit better with my current swing. I would have no issues going back to Bridgestone in the future.

Played the taylormade tp5 last season and loved it. Though it would get beat up after two rounds at least, the feel off the face of a drive/iron/chip/putt just is right for me.

Currently gaming the Tour B RX, since my driver speed tops out (on a good day) at 102mph. Have used all the premium balls (Titleist, Callaway, TM, Srixon) as well but I gotta be honest - if there was no logo on them I couldn’t tell them apart. I have never tried something new and noticed any discernible changes in performance.

After watching your review on the Vice golf balls I decided to buy the Pro Plus. I absolutely love that ball!! Will try Bridgestone when my Vice run out

Srixon! Love the XV and when I’m playing bad the Q star tour is great also.

I've used the majority of premium golf balls (pretty much all but srixon) and have settled on Bridgestone. The main reason is durability. I can have an 18 hole round and the ball will last before I bin it, which as an unsponsored hacker is important to me. With the ProV I found I was basically binning a ball every five holes more or less because of the way it cut up. I will say that anecdotally from what I've seen on course, the Bridgestone is longer, but I reckon the Titleist is actually a straighter flight

I played the ProV 1 for years, really back then the only premium golf ball out there when I play in the mid single digit cap. I got away from the game for quite a few years ( close to 10 years ) did even look at my clubs during that time off. Coming back to the game in the last two years I have been using the BRX and find it to be as good in every way as the ProV at a better price point. On the plus side I like the cover which seem to be brighter and more durable on the spin mills.

Years ago I used to play with Bridgestone B330 tour balls and found them to be the best for my game, and with their unique dimple pattern they were incredible to play in windy conditions, but for a couple of years they were not available here in the UK and so I went to ProV1x’s.

Depends on your meaning of best. Is it what’s best for you individually, that could be any brand. But if you take the research as far as quality control then it’s Titleist hands down. I have been testing out 2 different balls. The Bridgestone B XS and the PV1x. Both are very good I do like the B XS slightly better around the greens.

I've been playing Tp5, but changed to the Bridgestone tour b xs and the spin is better, feel great off the putter and stunning to chip with. All similar values the tp5 has, but the tp5 looked beat up after 2 rounds. Bridgestone did 3/4 rounds.

Bridgestone stone tour b XS… after your review I tried them last year. My handicap dropped 8 using this ball. Or maybe it was all the practice I put in… love this ball!

I am loving the Srixon Z xv. Hard to argue with GREAT EVERYWHERE.

Callaway for me. Been using the diablos the past few seasons. Love them and two boxes for 45 bucks at ducks. I’ll play them till they’re sold out for good. I believe callaway has stopped making them but they’re great.

Last 2 years I’ve played pro V1 in the summer and TM tour response in the winter. Have used chrome soft and tp5 in the past and may try them again this year

Fan of these short format updates 👍

Love bridgestone xs amazing balls driver distance, soft feel around the greens and for someone who's not the best when it comes to putting spin on a ball I get great back spin with these.

Was always a Titleist guy, ProV1 forever but switched to Bridgestone BXS 3 years ago and can’t go back now, the control, feel, and distance is better than any other ball I have ever played

I was playing the B-RX when I could get the previous generation for $35/dozen. It's a good ball that's long off irons and driver, mainly because it's extremely low spin and fairly soft. Now I'm playing the Vice Pro and Pro Soft. They both had really good numbers in both MGS tests - 2019 and 2021 - although they got no love at all from MGS for some reason. Probably because they don't say "Titleist" on them. But Titleist does have the best QC - no question.

Been playing the callaway supersoft for the last few years, they feel great and seem to give good distance for about half the price of a premium ball, looking to try the kirkland v2 next time i get up to costco though

I play Callaway chrome soft, love it.

Bridgestone e6 was my ball for two hole-in-ones. I switched to another brand's ball during the past few seasons. This season, I'm back to Bridgestone e6.

I used to use Bridgstone balls a few years back and have used them recently. I'm considering using them as my main ball again. I prefer the 'B' logo as it's different & stands out.

Vice Pro Plus easily needs to be in this conversation. The ball is soft, goes long and is easy to control the flight and spin. I have previously played both the tp5 and pro V1. I personally feel the vice pro plus performs just as good as these ball if not better for nearly half the price.

I played my personal best round about 5 or 6 years ago with a Srixon Z-Star. I've used ever since.. really haven't come close to beating it though😅

The first Bridgestone ball I purchased was the Tour B RX, and that was about 2 weeks ago. I like them! I can't make a ball backspin on the green but when I hit the green I get one bounce and stop. 2 days ago, hit 8 iron 160, landed 3ft from the pin, and the ball divot was just 1ft from where it stopped. So when this model has pretty good stopping power with irons. Next, I'm going to try the Tour B XS. Off-topic, I also like the Srixion Z Star. It goes far, straight and stops like the B RX.

For me, the ProV1 is the best putting golf ball made. Since I putt more than anything else, that's what I use. I've given away dozens of brand new Callaways won at tournaments because they feel like hitting a marshmallow with a putter. Not sure if these are any less expensive, but I'll give Bridgestone's a roll this season to see what they're all about. Thanks for all of what you do!

I’ve used the B-RXS and I quite like the B logo on the ball. Mix between ProV1 Left Dash and TP5 Pix at the moment. Find the ProV1 is a little better on wear and tear.

Recently switched to the e12 Contact, really like it so far, we will see how it does on firm greens this summer.

I've been playing Bridgestone balls for years and absolutely love them! I hate playing the Pro V1 and Callaway balls don't have the distance and feel of the Bridgestone. If I'm not playing a Bridgestone I'll play the Kirkland balls....similar feel and distance for half the price.

You’ll get used to whatever ball that you play. Just be consistent. I play Callaway Supersoft. They don’t spin as much as the premium balls, but I account for that on my pitches, and chips. I actually like that little bit of extra runout. It’s easier to hole them. I hit full shots pretty high anyway, so it’s not a problem. They still have that ultra soft feel, and I don’t lose any distance with them. Plus, they’re MUCH cheaper. 4hc, by the way.

Played TP5 for the last two seasons but made the switch to the Tour B-XS. Mainly for the spin numbers around the greens. Feels very soft and light. TP5 feels “heavier” in comparison, as if the ball is waterlogged.

I’ll never move away from my Bridgestone Tour B XS. Absolutely love it.

I used Bridgestone a few years ago, 2013-2017. But, I have grown to like Wilson DuoSoft and waiting for winter to end to try the new Wilson Triad.

I tried the Bridgestone range for a season or so, around 3-4 years ago. Really enjoyed playing the ball and I felt comfortable/confident with it. Gone back to the Pro V1’s due to availability in stores and it’s like putting on a old pair of slippers with reliability/feel. I agree the (B) of Bridgestone aesthetically looks poor, in fact I think it looks cheap and I also agree that the range they have is very confusing. Get some ball fitting Centre’s in the UK and I may go back to them but at this moment I won’t be moving from Titleist.

ProV1 and the Titliest selection I believe is the best. But no joke I think the most underrated golf ball is the Precept Laddie!!! Always served me well from tee to green and the price point is great.

When it comes to the top premium ball for the big ball manufacturers, Titleist, Callaway, Taylormade, Bridgestone, and Srixon, they all have have great products. For the average golfer, Bridgestone makes a great line of options that preform quite well. As someone who works in a golf store, I can tell you first hand, a lot golfers use the wrong ball for their game.

Srixon soft feel pink ladies ball. Great spin with irons and distance off driver..

I personally prefer the Callaway chromesoft truvis (soccer ball) I don’t really swing hard so the lower compression rating really helps me. And they feel amazing from the tee to the green

Love the Bridgestone e6 golf ball!

I put some new wedges in the bag 18 months ago and they did not get along with tp5x around the greens. Desperate for something softer I tried for tiger version in I absolutely loved it. It felt better in all departments. Especially on and around the greens. I will not be changing unless they make it better somehow.

Visually the Chrome Soft Truvis works best for me - easier to focus on the ball which helps me keep head down

Unfortunately, the first real golf ball I started playing with was the Tour b xs and now everything else feels like hitting a frozen golf ball. I Like the distance from the tour b x. But I’ll give up a couple yards to have more touch around the greens. I don’t spin the ball a ton but just feel like I have more distance control in tight. Love the videos and the podcast guys

The love Bridgestone. Asthetically, in particular the look of the dimples set them apart. And of course it performs as well as any other ball

Loving the podcasts Guy and Rick :). Does brand and type of golf balls really matter for someone playing off a 20 handicap? - Cheers

I switched to Bridgestone when Nike stoped making the Tour D balls. It was the closest ball to the Nike Tour D that I found. The current model I am using is the Tour B RX. A few weeks ago I came across several articles/interviews that confirmed Bridgestone was making the Nike balls right up to and excluding the Resin balls. I had not heard of the rumors up until then, but I do know that the feel and performance of the Bridgestone balls matched that of the Nike Tour D when I mad the switch years ago.

ive been gaming Bridgestone Tour B for years. Love them

I play with Bridgestone balls and love them! I have been playing with them for 3 years now.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Jason and his family, at this point the ball seems secondary, Guy, RX and RXS, BELOW 105 MPH, X and XS, above 105 MPH, also check out Otto, there new ball fitting system, pretty cool stuff. Thanks guys, keep it rolling.

I use Z-Star, ProV1 and TP5 and find them all really similar. Perhaps a better player would notice the difference more. I also like the Wilson DX3 Urethane. The Seed SD-01 and SD-02 are also really good and much cheaper then the main brands. Happy to send you over some for a test if you would like.

Bridgestone are very good indeed. I've tried several types and have not been disappointed. Likewise with Titleist and Taylormade. For me, I love Titleist most but Bridgestone are right up with them.

I switch from the Bridgestone BRX to ProV1 due to availability. Its a long ass ball with good spin and amazing feel.

Played both the Tour B X and Tour B XS. Both are fantastic balls across the board. However, IMO there is one area I found both to be lacking that I hope the 2022 fixes, both the BX and BXS spin 200-300 RPM more off the driver. I think if the new balls solve the driver spin issue and maintain their performance in every other area, the ball will by far be the best ball.

Literally just started looking into Bridgestone yesterday. May take a harder look!!

I've used Bridgestone e6 balls for years. Brilliant value and can't fault them.

I love the Bridgestone’s. Nice video Rick.
