Bridgestone e6 Soft and e6 Speed Golf Balls<\/p><\/div>\n

More so than most other golf ball manufacturers Bridgestone Golf<\/a> has embraced the most basic of golf truisms: the game is a whole lot more fun when played from the middle of the fairway. Especially for golfers who are not chasing a paycheck – which is just about everybody.<\/p>\n

Therefore, everything that Bridgestone does for its mid-priced e6 Series golf balls<\/a> is about making the ball fly more straight with less spin. \u00a0High spin rates are what give golfers the best chance at controlling the ball on all types of greens. Bridgestone also knows that it looks cool to watch an approach shot bite into the green and spin back like a yo-yo. They make B330 Series Tour golf balls<\/a> for those folks.<\/p>\n

#1 Ball Fitter in the Industry<\/h2>\n

A quick bit of history: in the early 1900s, many golf balls came from rubber tire manufacturers, a logical extension since wound golf balls were essentially a rubber product. Goodrich introduced the first pneumatic golf ball in 1906. Dunlop had a ball (James Bond’s preferred brand), and so did Uniroyal. Bridgestone, a Japanese company, put its first golf balls on the market in 1935, only four years after its first tires. As the need for rubber in modern golf balls diminished most of those companies left golf.<\/p>\n

Bridgestone continued to hang around, albeit with a low market profile. About ten years ago, the company introduced ball-fitting. It was the same concept as club-fitting, seeking to find the ideal match of equipment to the game. Since that time, Bridgestone has accumulated data from 320,000 launch monitors on more than two million individual golf swings. All that data has been crunched to create two new Bridgestone e6 golf balls.<\/p>\n

What Exactly is New with these e6 Golf Balls?<\/h2>\n

All of this means distilling down these data points into a single mantra – go straight. Bridgestone Golf is so committed to the “player development” ball that it has scrapped the e5<\/a> and e7<\/a>. It’s all about two new e6 models now, the e6 Soft<\/a> and the e6 Speed<\/a>. While there are certainly differences between the two, they\u2019re both designed with accuracy in mind.<\/p>\n
