Bridgestone 330 RX sans $$$?


03SVTCobra

Recommended Posts

Been playing the 330 RX for about 6 months and love them, however a sick pup is leaving me looking for places to pinch pennies for a few months. Looking for similar performance to the 330 RX for about half the price. Tempted to try the Q-star... Let me know what's out there. The 330Rx has been the best combination of tee control and distance paired with a hop and stop on the green that I've found thus far.

Q Star ~ $25
E5 ~ $27
Chrome ~ $36
B330 series ~$45

For the low price of $25, the Q Star is a great ball.

There are also the TaylorMade Red/Black, which I think are slightly better than the E5. Can be found for cheaper than they are listed.

I've read a lot about both of these balls. I would assume the 330 RX is more in line with the Black?

I think you would be closer with the Red. I hear the Black is very high compression.

GPPGolf still has the Hex Chrome at a good discount (around the price of the E5, Q Star, etc.). Shipping costs adds up, but can be spread out over several dozen balls. I think the Hex Chrome is one of the best 2012 offerings.

2011 RX's at Golfsmith (in store) yesterday for $19.99. I know they had lots of yellow. Not sure about white. End cap display -- looks like they want to blow them out.

The Dual Dimple Technology change for 2012 will have the 2011's selling cheap until they are gone. Likely good deals soon on eBay too for the 2011's.
