which ball is longer

kkhere · October 5, 2005

i was just wondering which ball you think is longest: Bridgestone B330-S or Callaway Hx Tour 56. I have a 105 ss and was just wondering which one would give me more distance

I found the HX Tour 56 pretty short. Neither of them will be the longest balls out there but I'd lean towards the B330-S here.

Take a look at the Srixon Z-UR (or Z-URS if you want a softer feeling ball). I found them longer than the B-330. They perform very similarly, too.

I hit the 330-S and NOP all summer. The wind got up and I wasn't happy with the NOP in the wind. Bought some HX56 -- read reviews that said they weren't long. Took them back for some Z-URS - Wow!

Srixon has one loooonnnggg ball and decent in the wind.

Longest ball I've ever tried with decent greenside spin.

well i played teh z-ur and i was very impressed. I used to see those ads saying they were better than the prov1x and not take them seriously but now i believe it

Its hard to say that one ball will unilaterally be better than another, however, I will also give a vote for the Srixon Z-UR. My swingspeed is pretty similar to yours, and I usually play the Callaway HX Tour. However, my college gives us sleeves of the Srixon Z-UR for tournaments. Being a low launch, low spin player, I didn't think that these balls were going to be any good for me, but I have found them to be VERY long, and to launch high enough for me, and provide sufficient spin off of the wedges into greens. I would definately try the Z-UR, although I haven't tried the Z-URS yet, which sounds perfect if you're looking for something just a little bit softer that spins a little bit more, but should be nearly as long.
