Bryson using Titleist range ball

[ErichZF]

Nothing crazy but you typically  practice with the ball you’re playing. 

[wcbjr]

Well, Bridgestone did drop him...

Bridgestone dropped him earlier this week, so he is probably doing another experiment  now…

Left dots would suit him very well

[alittleoverpar]

Maybe he found it on the course somewhere. 😐

 

[LoopySwing13]

maxfli tour balls could use an endorsement 😂 

[NJBigFish22]

I imagine he could have walked to any tour truck and got a couple sleeves of real balls.

Without a sponsorship for balls, he will use the standard range balls that the site provides.  In this case, it looks like they are using ProV1's.

That's not really how range balls work on tour. Especially at major championships.

 

Just about every single ball a player uses is available for use on the range. A player simply tells those working at the range what ball they want. Not that this would ever happen, but if a Titleist staffer wanted to use Srixon balls on the range all he would have to do is ask for Srixon balls.

 

Bryson absolutely would have had the option to use Bridgestone balls if he wanted to.

True but why would he advertise for them? I mean like in the above post if he had a Bstone ball everyone would comment---- "Bryson is still using the B Stone ball and they dropped him this week hmmm must be a good ball"

Yeah he actively chose to use Titleist balls for a reason. Whether that is because he likes them better or he just wanted to stick it to Bridgestone who knows.

 

I was simply pointing out that just because you don't have a ball sponsor doesn't mean you get relegated to having to use the default range balls. You still have the choice of any ball you want.

Has not been 5 minutes ago I saw on one of my news feeds that he was still using the B Stone ball in the Open so who knows?

Maybe just testing because as other say, he's got every ball available right there at the range to test.

Would guess it's the left dot, since the number is black and the prov1 would probably not work as well for his speed and height.

Or maybe Titleist asked him to test a prototype

Interesting.  I would think if they dropped him, they would control what product he uses.  He did say he would continue to use the Bridgestone ball though.

[Socrates]

He does have plenty of money.  He can go buy them at the Pro Shop like the rest of us.  🙂

because changing a ball that suddenly for a guy like Bryson  would leave a lot of uncertainty at an incredibly important tournament. Are other balls just as good? Sure, but he hasn't had time to do all of the absurd testing he's accustomed to.

 

but, maybe spite is worth more than that to him

[bigeasy]

Cant imagine any pro switching without adequate testing and they just dropped him this week. On the other hand, he might have been expecting and has been testing. Need to find pictures of him playing today. Inquiring minds want to know!

Well he could purchase and use what ever ball he wanted to use like the rest of us

[DavePelz4]

He should sign with Costco and play KSig balls.  The could pay him in powder protein, whey, and a 4 ton floor jack.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a dtc brand like Vice make a big offer to him and develop an absolutely top notch ball.

I am just trying to figure out how the engineers at Bridgestone are going to be innovative without his highly scientific input.

 

“I have a much deeper role in mind with Bridgestone. I want to be a bigger part of their R&D process and help develop golf ball technology for the future of the game while pushing the limits of golf ball designs to benefit the full spectrum of players.”

Especially a guy like him with his mental state. He could literally have a meltdown.

[Trippels]

He said he's already spent the LIV money, maybe he's building his own ball plant. 

[buckeyefl]

I heard theres a supermoon tonight so hopefully he uses the opportunity to test its influence on ball performance.

[Jeff58]

I saw this on Insta. Pretty sure it’s real.

How can they tell him he cannot use their ball or any ball?

I'm sure Bryson went to Dick's Sporting Goods and picked up a few dozen before he went to the Open Championship.

 

The PGA Tour Super Store won't let him in.

No longer sponsored by them.  They don't have to give him anything (free balls etc...) and/or likely have told him to remove their logo from his apparel and bag.  They can't stop him from using ball though.

[ChipStrokes]

@MtlJeff we need to call bryson about an anti-sponsorship deal. 

 

how much do you think we can get from bridgestone for him to stop using their stuff?
