Someone finally made the Pro V1 for the rest of us–a tour quality ball that doesn't require a tour quality swing. While not officially available I was lucky to find that the local Roger Dunn had stocked up for the Labor Day weekend. I was too excited to leave this balls in the box. So, I had to take them out to play a quick 9. All I can say is "where have you been!" Why hasn't any OEM ever made a great feeling, great spinning ball that doesn't require a 100+ MPH swing!?
Distance
Compared to my two gold standards, Pro V1 and B330S, this ball is longer for my swing. I gained about 10 yards with this ball. The ball flew in a strong boring trajectory with a great roll out.
Feel
Feels like a B330S, but a little softer. I could feel the ball compress on the face of my TaylorMade Burner. So this is how a tour ball is supposed to feel. Off the irons they felt great. Off the putter they felt buttery soft like the Pro V1.
Spin
It doesn't spin as well as the Pro V1 but it was more than adequate by the greens. I think they spin just as well as the older three piece B330S or just about any other premium urethane covered ball. One hop and stops were not a problem with the wedges.
Bridgestone has finally made a ball that seems to have been made just for me. Their research has finally paid off with a ball that fits most amateur golfers. Now I can't blame for my inadequacies–this indian has found the perfect arrow.
