Anyone tried these balls? Seems like they might be a comparable ball to the NXT Tour and the HX Hot, neither of which I'm a fan of - too hard.
Currently playing the B330S and U-tri Tour(when I can find them). But looking for a potentially longer ball, and thought the E6 might be a good choice. Its hard to figure out which ball best suites your game when you factor in wind and course conditions. I've tried the OneBlack last week and it was okay. HX Tour and 56 don't seem to be as long as the B330S. My swing speed is about 103-108 with a 44.5in driver. I can go at it harder but I loose way to much control.

The b330 is pretty long as is the b330s, and nike balls are made by bridgestone so you should like the black & platinum (its just a logo). If you want a ton of Yards try the HX hot, it feels like a nxt but it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer. The e5, and e6 are much better balls than nxt but they still lack workability of a tour level ball. I don't mind hitting the e5 straight and it still has some feel. If all else fails try a pink flying lady for an additional 45 yards.

Oh snap! Truth be told, I've played a Lady and Laddie many a time! :tsg_smiley_embarrassed: But now that I have wedge game, its more of a hinderance.
Seems like most of the top balls are built for pros and ams that can swing over 115 mph. I've heard that once you get up to 116 mph with the ProV's the distance goes up dramatically. I was just wondering if there was a tour level ball built to maximize the distance for a non-tour level swing speed. |

And when you swing above 116 all tour balls fly farther. Truth be told past 116 mph the regular pro v1 spins too much. I can't count how many greens I have spun a ball off while going for a front pin with a pro v. I like the e5 because it just stops for me. I have only had one back up really hard on me.

I started playing the e6 this winter and have been very impressed, it should be noted that winter conditions may not lend itself to a true evaluation, but both distance and spin have been more than acceptable. Swingspeed 97mph.

Ball design becomes a nightmare if you choose the wrong one. It's not in my DNA to slow down that much either. With the NIke blacks or platinums, or the Pro V1 X I can keep it in the fairway and score. Almost everything else becomes a wrestling match with the big draw hook. |
