Which Bridgestone Ball Should You Play?
Bridgestone is the only brand on this chart whose second-softest ball is already urethane. The Tour B RX at 68 compression carries a urethane cover, where every other manufacturer's ball at that compression is ionomer. Bridgestone's crossover into spin-generating cover material happens lower down its lineup than anyone else's here.
Which one to play. That makes Tour B RX the pick for a lot of golfers — 68 compression, $45, rated 85–100 mph. It is the only way on this chart to get a genuinely soft-compression ball with a urethane cover from a major manufacturer. Above it, Tour B XS at 90 and Tour B X at 100 are both $48 and both aimed at 95 mph and up, with the XS the softer and spinnier of the pair.
Worth knowing. e12 Contact at 50 compression is Bridgestone's only ionomer ball here and its only one under $45. It is rated 70–90 mph and its dimple pattern is genuinely different from a standard design. It is the budget entry in a lineup that otherwise starts at $45 — which is high compared with every other brand on this chart.
