At THP, we believe that testing should be done not only by us, but also by golfers just like you. One of the cool features about being an active member of the THP Forum is that we look to you guys/gals, the consumers, to give feedback on equipment to golfers all around the world. Each month we send out iron sets, drivers, hybrids, putters, trainings aids and golf balls to our active members to be a part of the THP Forum Member testing. So, who wants to be involved with one of the coolest tests out there? Testing Bridgestone Prototype Golf Balls.

Bridgestone Prototype Golf Balls
It is not often you get a chance to try a product before it hits stores. If it hits stores. Here is an opportunity to be involved with a test where you will get a full dozen white boxed golf balls and your job will be to review it right now, before information really exists.
What is it? Well, the timeline historically could give some clues, but for now, we will leave this as a blank. Your job will be to tell us, how the ball performs.
Criteria
We will select a group of 20 THPers to join 4 from the THP staff to be a part of this. If selected you will get a rundown prior to ordering of the posting and review expectations. If you have questions beforehand, do not hesitate to ask below.
You must be able to check in on the forum thread daily (or close to it) to discuss and answer questions.
Please note: You will be reviewing the golf balls for a period of one full month. If you cannot commit to this length of testing please do not signup.

Actually I think for a golf ball, indoor sim with data works great and can provide a good comparison as to what the ball is doing.

And let’s be honest, for some of us, having a dozen balls last a month playing outside might be a struggle! Lol. Going to have to set aside a sleeve for indoor use to make sure they don’t all end up lost if I get selected.

You tend to lose way less balls when you know you only have a dozen to test, from my experience.
I hope more people hop in on this. As someone who had the opportunity to test Bridgestone prototype golf balls before, its an awesome experience. There is a lot of talk in the threads and its fun to discuss what you are experiencing, and see what others are experiencing to compare.
It ended up with me switching to the ball I was testing for the next two years.
1 – Completed
2 – Issued me the Tour B RX
3 – Titleist Pro V1 or Callaway Chrome Soft
Thank you!
[USER=1579]@Jman[/USER] are you going to be one of the staff testers? Would like to see your thoughts on the BX.

I am looking forward to seeing the picks for this one, Have not played Stones since the Mindset came out in early 2024…..
Last day.
Throw your name in people!
Final day bump
[USER=3]@JB[/USER] are we okay with indoor testing only? I enjoyed testing these a few years ago but our outdoor season is over up here.

Yes.
I found a box of the current version Tour BX in my garage yesterday. If anyone selected to test the stout BX wants a sleeve to compare, happy to send it.
Testers will be announced tomorrow.
This is all wrapped up.
[USER=56094]@Muchmore[/USER] will announce testers later today.
