It is a golf ball showdown and this week we have a multilayer lower compression golf ball with a urethane cover in the Bridgestone TOUR B RX and the e12 Contact. What happens when we compare them in the THP Tech Studio with multiple clubs to see how they perform?
In this episode of THP TV we have Adam Rehberg from Bridgestone Golf in the hitting bay with us to talk technology. You will see all of the swings and data and Adam walks you through what we are seeing in the data.

Tale of the Tape
Back in January, Bridgestone Golf released their latest line of TOUR B products including four brand new balls. This golf ball showdown features the Tour B RX vs the e12 Contact. The latter launched last year and if you missed the breakdown on this ball geared towards Straight Distance, you can find it here.
What are the differences in this Bridgestone RX vs e12 Contact showdown? Adam breaks much of them down during the video, but the one that sticks out is the obvious, the cover material. While the Tour B line of products features a urethane cover, the e12 Contact features a surlyn material.
In this video above, watch all of the swings and then hear the breakdown of the data. Which one of these fits you better?

What other things play into that decision other than just a launch monitor and close to pin results? Obviously you hit them both well.
I might frame this comment. ?
Please do!!!

It’ll be interesting to hear what you think about them. I loved them compared to the Lady balls. Stopped on the green and gave me more distance off the tee. E12 contacts are great balls! Good luck!!
HEY! DON"T STEAL MY BALLS!
Hmmm I’ve been hitting the lady balls so well that this makes me extra curious now!
Could be a game changer. I was hitting the lady balls great too! But, then the e12 came into my life ?
I think this really reaffirms that the e12 Contact is the better option for me. I am not trying to work the ball into a green. My ideal shot? Straight. I want to shoot straight at the pin, and not worry about it.
I am not a higher spin player, but it is reassuring to see that the drop off in spin between the comparison is pretty much where I thought it might be.

I didn’t.
This is great stuff. I don’t ever really play the hit and stop wedge and have found I play better golf when I target center green so it has questioning if it is worth it to me to jump into more premium balls of late. There’s a few on the market I currently really enjoy, but might give this a go to save a few bucks.
It’s just straight and it doesn’t punish my misses, and I’ve never been a guy that spins my scoring clubs, but I had some wedges that spun back a couple feet with this ball. I’m impressed!
P.S., I miss the old tech studio, and Canadan, were those AllBirds you were sporting on your feet?
