B330

bigbutch · April 9, 2014

Played with the B330 last week. Now I don't have a very fast swing speed, but apparently the ball didn't know this. All I can say it was last years ball with the dimple in the dimple. I would have to say it is right up there with the Pro V1X. It did every thing right. The older model was just too hard for me. I think the new one they just came out with is suppose to be even softer. They have them on sale at Academy for $29.99. That's a good ball for that price.

Ya, the 2012 and new 2014 models are legit. My go to ball. Love the B330. It just does everything right for me. Good feel. Great boring trajectory. Perfect amount, or lack thereof, spin on all shots. Just a great product.

How was the durability?

Best out of all premiums, IMO

When you say best out of all premiums, are you saying the 2012, 2014, or both? Have you played both? Which is the more durable of the two, if you could tell a difference?

I only played Pro v or Pro Vx for years. X’s were better for me. Last year I did testing’s with TP 5’s, Wilson FGx and the Chrome+. The Pro V and FGx spun way too much on the greens. Chrome+ is by far the best of the group for me.

I just played the 330 yesterday for the first time. 2012’s. Never played Bridgestone before. It was really windy. What a great ball. Cut thru the wind much better than the Chrome+. Less spin off the driver and long. I did short side myself twice and it didn’t bite as well as I'm used to.

The thing I loved most was with approach shots with all irons, except wedges, the ball was within a a foot or so of where I landed. The wedges were within 5'-6'. Consistently. All of the others I mentioned above tend to spin back too much for me.

Playing again with it tomorrow. Yes the durability is excellent. I’ll be teeing up the same ball I played 18 with yesterday. Really surprised I found a ball I may like better than the Chrome+. I know I'm late on this on this one but glad I finally tried it.

2012 B330 is very durable. Only other premium ball that resembled similar durability was the Srixon XV. 2014 is softer and a tad less durable than its predecessor, but not by much.
