My first Bridgestone ball fitting

[Hacker]

I went to my local course and did a fitting. They recommended the B-330. They compared it to the Hex Chrome. He said that both ball gave me good numbers and that it didn't really matter which one I used. The side spin was better with the b330. Here are the numbers

hex chrome
h/s-107.8
ball velocity 149.8
launch angle 10.4
back spin 2965
side spin -485
dist255


ideal
swing speed 107.8
ball velocity 159.6
launch angle 11.5
back spin 2354
side spin 0
distance 278

B-330
swing speed 109.1
ball velocity 152.8
launch angle 8.8
back spin 3250
side spin -245
distance 252

Nice to find a fitting with good honest information.

The guy running it was awesome! Unfortunately I can't remember his name

So it sounds like the B330 was a bit straighter, but the Chrome was a bit longer? Pretty much negligible though.

Those are some extremely consistent #'s Hacker! Good on the fitter for being honest that both balls fit you.

Going to one of these maybe this week

I did a Bridgestone fitting last weekend. I had almost identical numbers with the B330 and B330s.

Where's you get this done at? Would love to see what ball is actually best for me.

If you click on the banner at the top of this page, there will be a tab on their site that tells you where they are and when they will be near you (again).

I've done that before with my data from a year ago, but that was a year ago on a simulator. I've yet to get back on a launch monitor this year to get my most recent data, but I was fit for the B330-RX last year and I bought a dozen and loved em.

It was at Sylvan Glen in Troy. It was pretty interesting. He only let me hit with the 330, I was hoping to hit with the RX also. But I guess he didn't have time or maybe he just thought this was the right ball for me. They had another one today at Sanctuary Lake but it ended at 3 I think.

I just noticed that the one in Bloomfield is private. Oh well

Nice to find a fitting with good honest information.

When I had a Bridgestone fitting here in the UK they were very up front with saying that if their ball was not an improvement they would recommend staying with the current ball.

It is this sort of honesty that puts Bridgestone at the top of the tree.
