BRIDGESTONE LOOKS TO EXTEND ITS DOMINANCE OF JAPANESE COLORED GOLF BALL
MARKET TO THE U.S.
Bridgestone answers consumers¹ call for sidespin reducing balls with better
visibility
COVINGTON, GA ‹ In a few short years, Bridgestone Golf¹s e6 has become one
of the most popular game improvement golf balls in the U.S. market. Widely
renowned for its ability to help curb slices and hooks, thanks to its
maximum forgiveness on off-center hits, the ball has become a favorite for
those golfers seeking greater distance and accuracy. This fall, Bridgestone
Golf, the #1 ball-fitter in golf, is excited to unveil limited availability
of two new bright yellow and bright orange colored e6 balls.
While the yellow and orange e6 balls are exciting new offerings in North
America, colored golf balls are nothing new for Bridgestone, especially in
Japan. Nearly 2 out of every 5 golf balls sold in Japan are colored, and
Bridgestone currently is responsible for over 56% of all colored balls sold
in that market, ranging in various color and performance choices. In
fact, colored golf balls are even played by Bridgestone¹s Japanese Tour
players as illustrated by Katsumasa Miyamoto¹s record-breaking back nine 29
with an orange ball at Firestone Country Club during the 2010 WGC
Bridgestone Invitational.
³The e6 is the 4th best selling golf ball model at off-course retailers
year-to-date, because it significantly reduces the excess sidespin that the
majority of amateur golfers struggle with,² said Brandon Sowell, Director of
Marketing * Bridgestone Golf, Inc. ³As a result of its popularity, we have
received a lot of consumer requests to offer it in color options too. Those
requests along with our success with colored golf balls in Japan prompted us
to do a survey through our social media platforms last spring, to gauge
whether or not our customers would play a yellow or orange golf ball. The
number that responded with strong interest was impressive so we are going to
give them what they wanted.²
In the same survey, Bridgestone found an overwhelming amount of respondents
(73%) cited better visibility as the key reason for wanting to play a
colored ball. As a result, Bridgestone has introduced the concept of Super
Visibility Coloring, making the new yellow and orange versions of the e6 the
brightest premium golf balls on the market. The bright yellow and bright
orange e6 limited edition golf balls will feature the same unique
three-piece construction that the traditional white e6 has- maintaining its
improved distance and accuracy performance. Proving this point, the e6 took
home best-in-class awards for innovation, feel and performance in the $21-35
per dozen category of the 2010 Golf Digest Hot List. The e6 was the only
golf ball in the entire 2010 Hot List to garner 3 best-in-class awards for
one category.
The new e6 balls will be available November 1st at golf specialty stores and
green grass retailers nationwide and will feature a street price of $26.99
per dozen (MSRP - $38 per dozen).

They are completely different balls.
Edit: If you are talking about the balls and not the color, that is.

I've decided that starting Nov, Im gonna order 2 dozen p/ month for 3 to 4 months just to stock up on them, just in case they don't stick around.
I can see the yellow balls so much easier.
