What do you think?

 

 

[BHS Golf Kid]

Great ball, pretty hard though.

[mstrymxer]

last years were better when they didnt have the dimple in dimple crap going on. now they just look funny

[tobaccoroad]

WAAAAAAAY too much spin off the driver!
20 yards shorter at least than the B-330...

Are you sure you aren't confusing with the e5? The e6 is supposed to be one of Bridgestone's lowest spin balls off the driver. The e5 has a urethane cover and will have more spin and short game control.

The salesman at Ed Watts shoved these into my arms... They feel good around the green, I hit it hit it with my sw from maybe 20-30 yards the other day and it had a high traj. but the one thing I noticed the most was the softness on that shot, maybe it was a once in a lifetime shot though... They say it doesn't have that much spin off of the driver but I beg to differ. Maybe its just my inconsistent driving game though. Not helped with the Fade/Slice... 4/5.

Posted in the wrong category sorry.

I've played the e-6+ and it does reduce driver sidespin. Also comes off the putter real well (for me). But I haven't played the e-6 that is out now replacing the e-6+.

Sorry. This spins crazy for me. The ProV1x is supposed to be low spin too but I get a lot of Driver spin with it as well.
B330 is the only ball I truly feel comfortable with.

[TheMackDaddy]

B330 fits me alot better. These just feel flimsy.

ugh the V1x is a very high spin golf, even higher spin than the V1. pretty sure it's top 5 maybe even top 3 @ max RPM

good ball off the box and is the short cut.. although i didnt like chipping with these.. they bounce too much on the greens and don't ever check up..

[Sean Cavanaugh]

Surprisingly, as they claim, the ball does seem to go straighter off the face. I personally like them

[shootermcgavin2]

so did these replace the e6? or the other way around? or are they both supposed to coexist in the market?

[cart7]

Felt like hitting a rock. Big thumbs down for the E6, especially considering the price.

[JCLJorgenson]

Hard, really? I was playing around with the e6 at a short game practice faclity and the ball came off my face really soft. In fact, it almost felt like I was hitting one of those 25 cent rubber "bouncy balls" that kids play with.

According to Bridgestone, the e6 is the softest multi-layer ball on the market right now.

I believe its the other way around
the e6+ is a few years old now

[lsf_21]

I have been playing these quite a bit this year. I like them. Solid ball for the price.

Here is an old thread that discusses the same question about e6 vs. e6+:

[ghalfaire]

A good, but not exceptional, mid priced ball.

[sway162]

This is my go to ball for the winter months here in the Northwest. Ball carries through the thick marine air very well.

[Padre John]

I agree that it is a great cold weather ball.

[Buzzkill]

Never tried the "+" model but I'm a new believer with the e6 - great ball!

[Killedbyashankeddriver]

Like buzzkill I haven't hit the + version but it's a very soft ball! I like it!

[noraagolfs]

Didnt think I'd like this ball. Was very surprised. Shot my lowest 9 hole score with it. In the middle of summer on hard greens. Shot 32, 4 under. Ball held hard greens pretty while for a "distance" ball. Played all summer with them.

[T NeL]

I really enjoy playing the e6. I can tell I slice the ball a lot less of the tee compared to other balls.

[EddyUnk]

I love the E6, played with it last 2 seasons. Nowadays it is my "winter ball" which I play in colder conditions. In summer I've switched to the B330-RXS.

[hondafans]

I like them when its cold. Super soft.

We compare drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons but does anyone ever undertake a detailed comparison with golf balls.

 

It seems to me at the moment with there being little if any improvement in the golf club equipment area that work should now be undertaken to see the advantages/ disadvantages of the different golf balls per swing speed and slicers. The majority of us are not good enough to check a ball on a green, so a ball that reacts like that is not really helpful to me. What would be an advantage is a ball that goes further than another, and one that helps slicers, which the majority of us are. How do balls react in windy conditions?

 

My second thought is why do we not review the benefits of golf club and ball fitting. Start with what's currently in a testers bag and then go to half a dozen golf retailers and then go to golf specialist fitters. The results would be interesting to say the least.

Bunk. Last years model of e6, was the best e6 I have played. I haven't played the newest model but I will tell you the 2016 model was the softest e6. It was great but eventually I disliked how much roll out I was getting so I switched again. I never liked the e6+, I don't remember what the difference was supposed to be back when I played it for a short while but I remember not liking it for XYZ. Not much of a help there, lol.
