Bridgestone B330 Golf Balls - Pros and Cons

As suggested by the name, a golf ball is meant for playing golf. Golf balls of various makes have flooded the marketplace. Golf balls made by Bridgestone are extensively used. They introduced Bridgestone B330 RX by the end of 2008. There are a fixed set of instructions, a golf ball must abide by. It should not weigh more than 45.93 grams or 1.62 oz. Both golf clubs and balls need certification and approval from the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.

The Bridgestone B330 RX is the first product where the manufacturer has attempted to create and design a tour performance series specific for swing speeds (amateur) of 85 to 105 mph. Many of its competitors like the Pro V1x, TM Red & Black, Pro V1, Callaway Tour also suit a swinging momentum of 105 mph. The 330 RX urethane ball comprises of several layers and a gradational core that is not too hard.

The soft core is the primary reason this ball works best for amateur swing speeds since it permits more compression. This design also permits less spin off the driver and a higher launch. It incorporates a 330 dimple design and an outer urethane cover which ensures accuracy, strength and short iron spin. It also ensures higher maneuverability and the well structured mantle assures increased repulsion and functionality. Predominant characteristics of the 330 RX are listed below :

(1) Extended driver distance which measures a full 6 on a 6 point scale.

(2) It scores on its straight performance over its competitors which is exactly 1.5 on a 6 point scale.

(3) The short elevated iron spin is represented by its measurement of 5 on a 6 point scale.

(4) It earns full 6 points on a 6 point scale for its smooth texture.

It has been proved that the distance off the tee of a 330 RX is equal to a Pro V1x (another recommended golf ball). The ball flight of 300 RX is found to be more penetrating as compared to the TM or Titleist. The Pro V1x exhibits better spin but wedge or short iron shots can be managed better with the 330 RX. The hybrid and mid iron shots can be delivered as well with it as with the TM Red and the Pro V1x. Loyal users of the Pro V1x are now preferring the B330 RX and appreciating its advanced functions.

The accurate performance is attributed to the low drive spin which also allows an extended distance off the tee. The 330 RX seems to be an ideal choice of people who play a tour caliber ball on amateur swing speeds (less than 105 mph). A pack of twelve 330 RX balls will cost anywhere between $38 and $45. This one is considered high on functionality by most golf players, amateur or professional.
