This morning I received the attached box of balls, and questionnaire to test the following balls: (I believe that other THP’ers are getting these too)

Callaway ERC Soft
TaylorMade Tour Response
Titleist Tour Speed
New Ball

I’m familiar with these balls as I have hit all 3 of the labeled balls at one point on the course.

The New Ball isn’t marked at all, but has a familiar look to it.

This Thread will serve as the place feedback will be posted.

Any guesses on what the mystery ball is ?
 
Looks like a hexagon simple pattern and if so it has to be a Callaway

I thought that but I could also say it could be a Bridgestone too...

Is it the picture, or are those dimples look a bit deeper then normal?
 
Fun! What is your strategy going to be for testing?
 
I think it will be an e6... (Scratch that)

Familiar with the Tour Speed and Tour Response and these are quality selections for my game. Very interested.

Believe mine are sitting at the ups office.
 
With the dimple in dimple pattern I would guess a Bridgestone Ball. E6 or E12
 
I can say close to 50 THPers will be receiving this pack.
 
I would have to say it is a Bridgestone ball. Quite the variety of balls.
 
I think mine will be delivered today. Are we all posting feedback in this thread?
 
I received the same box today. I am guessing that the unmarked sleeve will turn out to be the new e6. It is going to be very chilly here tomorrow, but I am going to brave the temps and try to put these into play. I have used the other balls in the package as well, but certainly will try to do a comparison as I play.
 
Looking at the comparison balls, it’s price point looks upper mid-range premium soft ball (30-40). I have loved the ERC and play those often.

Looking forward to testing these in comparison to the others. This is going to be a very informative thread. One that will be open all year I bet.

I have already scheduled a sim session for some club testing. More fun coming now.
 
chalk up one more guess for the new e6 - looking forward to the reviews and thoughts.

I don’t know, the card that came with the box said not to worry about who they were, just provide feedback here on THP.
 
The Top Flight Gamer has a dimple in dimple pattern... but Dick’s doesn’t care about R&D.
