Overview of Bridgestone Golf Balls

A lot of golfers will have heard of the common names in the world of golf that make golf balls such as Titleist, Wilson, Top-flite and Maxfli but a lot of golfers will not be aware of a company called Bridgestone that make golf balls, in fact you may be surprised to know they have been actually been producing golf balls since 1935.

The current Bridgestone golf ball range consists of 7 different golf balls for different player abilities and needs.In the next chapters we will look at the range of balls and see what they offer to the average golfer and what they have specially been designed for.

The Bridgestone B330 golf ball is designed for golfers with good ability and who also have varying swing speeds, so if you are a low handicapper but have a fast swing then this ball can aid you. There are also 2 variations the B330-S and the B330-RX that have been designed to have different levels of spin and feel. A better golfer will look for a ball with higher spin as this allows them to stop a ball closer to the pin on a green.

The E7+ golf ball is designed to have a lower trajectory of the tee, so if you tend to hit your shots quite high then this can lower this and can hopefully increase your distance either off the tee or fairway. Obviously the higher the trajectory the more likely that a ball can be affected by the wind.

The E6+ golf ball is designed for people who have a tendency to either hook or slice the ball, this ball will hopefully help the golfer with the problems mentioned earlier hit the ball straighter and lets be honest for the average golfer thats usually half the battle isn’t it.

The E5+ golf ball is the opposite of the E7+ mentioned earlier, if you have a low trajectory when you hit the ball then is designed to enable you to hit the ball higher.

The Treosoft golf ball is designed for distance and accuracy off the tee, this is done by using a patented seamless technology , unlike other golf balls which use seams which can lead to inconsistencies with the flight and trajectory when hit.

That’s the range of Bridgestone Golf Balls quickly summarised and if they are good enough for Major winners of the calibre of Fred Couples and Nick Price to use them on tour then they certainly are worth checking out at your nearest golf outlet.

The Basics of Golf Balls, Tees and Divot Repair Tools

For most serious golfers, their equipment is one of their most prized possessions. Golf clubs are obviously the most expensive pieces of equipment a golfer can buy. There are some cheaper accessories that are absolutely vital to your golf game whether you are playing professionally or just for recreation.

Unfortunately there are hundreds, if not thousands, of these golf accessories that are a complete waste of money. There are many gizmos and gadgets that are intended to lure in new and amateur golfers into buying them, with promises that the gadgets will help them “play like the pros.” The reality is that three of the biggest golf items aside from clubs are relatively simple. They are golf balls, golf tees and divot repair tools.

You obviously can’t play golf without some golf balls but there is a lot more to golf balls than just picking one up, placing it on a tee, and hitting it. There are hundreds of manufacturers and companies that sell many different types of golf balls. For new golf players, the many different types of golf balls and manufactures can be a bit overwhelming. The standard size for a golf ball is 1.62 inches in diameter and the maximum weight for a golf ball is 1.68 ounces.

All golf balls in the professional games must be approved by the USGA (United States Golf Association). Of course, if you are not going to be playing in any tournaments and/or professional games, then you will be able to use any type of golf ball you wish to play with. The rules for professional are very strict, though. They are so strict, that any player found using a ball that has not been approved by the USGA would be immediately disqualified.

Other than golf balls there are two other simple accessories that are absolutely necessary for your golf game: a bag of tees and a divot-repair tool. The tee is a wooden or plastic peg, which is placed in the ground to elevate your golf ball. The top of the tee is very slightly curved, so as to allow for a secure placement and hold, and of course, a clean swing. Tees are quite inexpensive, and can be bought in bags of twenty of thirty for just a couple of dollars. They come in varying heights as some golfers prefer their golf balls to be higher or sometimes lower for their drives.

The divot repair tool is a small device that allows you to repair dents that you create in the green. The green is a well-kept and maintained area that is sometimes marked by craters caused by landing golf balls. The divot repair tool allows you to fix the divot, or dent, by replacing the green back into its original location. Fixing divots is a common practice and is seen as a courtesy to your fellow golfers.
