The following are some notable observations on a few of the latest golf balls to be added to the Digital Ball Catalog™ at GolfBallSelector.com, although player preferences and individual launch/spin conditions are paramount in choosing any ball:
The Bridgestone Tour B330-RX is approximately 10% lower in compression points than the Titleist Pro V1, when measured with the ATTI compression meter.
Robotic putter testing indicates that the Bridgestone Tour B330-RX, Tour B330-S, Nike One Tour and Callaway Tour i have similar “hotness” off the putter to the Titleist Pro V1.
The Bridgestone Tour B330-RX exhibits similar cover hardness to the Titleist Pro V1.
The cover hardness of the Srixon Z-Star and Z-Star X is identical.
The Srixon Z-Star is approximately 15% lower in ATTI compression points than the Z-Star X.
The Bridgestone e7+ and the Srixon Z-Star X have similar compressions despite their different covers (surlyn and urethane, respectively).
The Bridgestone Tour B330-RX aligns more with the Z-Star than the Z-Star X on compression and cover hardness.
Note: Compression and Cover Hardness measurements can be found in schedules compiled and available at GolfBallSelector.com
