Bridgestone e6 golf ball

I normally play Pro V1, but a customer gave me a sleeve of the Bridgestone e6's and I've gotta tell you, they were awesome. I had to club down because of the extra distance and they really took a lot of the "hacker spin" off my tee shots. I had to adjust my aim to compensate for the straighter ball flight. I just bought a dozen for the tourney I'm playing in tomorrow. $26 at Dicks $21 on Golfsmith.

Ever try the e5 or e7?

 

I played in a tourney Sunday and a guy gave me a sleeve of e7's for giving them my email at the club... I have not hit them yet.

 

When I bought the e6's back in May I read the packaging and the e6 seemed like the ones for my game.  So far so good...

 

I am not a golf ball snob, but there are certain kinds I prefer...

That's why I bought them, seemed like the right fit when reading the package. When I played the sleeve my customer gave me I wasn't aware there was e5 and e7 option.

Where you playing?

 

The tourney we played Sunday was a TX scramble at Cape Fear National...  pick best drive and everyone plays their own ball in and count the two best scores per hole.

 

We shot 144, which is averaged to par-par, which I thought was pretty good for conditions... it was wet as hell and rained off and on the whole round.

 

Some team shot 120.  I can't believe that... some creative accounting going on there imo.

Tega Cay. It's the annual Red, White, & Blue tourney. As a team (foursome) you have to pick 6 holes to play from the red tees, 6 from white, and 6 from blue. Not sure of the format this year. Last year was best ball.

I've played the e6 and I don't remember anything special about it, but I'll try it again after this glowing review.

If you don't mind the extra $$ the Bridgestine B-330RX is a badass ball. It's the same price as the proV1 but is engineered for amateur swing speeds. My sorry hacker self can even spin 'em back on the greens.

I might have to try the B-330RX. The reason I posted this thread is because I would have never given Bridgestone a second look. That was some misguided thinking. I'm open to trying their balls now.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
