Bridgestone Ball Fitting

[bignev]

Got a place tonight for a Bridgestone Ball Fitting.
Do like them and use them regularly but will be interesting to see if what I use is what
they recommend or will they push me towards the higher end of the price range.
Will let you all know later

Stick money it's the e6

will they push me towards the higher end of the price range.

nope - they have a proper range of balls (the best range IMO) and will ahow you how each one affects your numbers. The only downside is if the e range come up trumps on numbers but you don't like the feel (much of which is of course habit, but that's another thing)

Been to a couple of these and both times I told them I hit a Srixon AD333 and both times I was recommended an E6

From my last fitting February last year.

AD333
Head Speed = 104.2
Ball Velocity = 141.4
Launch Angle = 14.8
Back Spin = 2113
Side Spin = -213 (Bit of push )
Dist = 233

Bridgestone E6
Head Speed = 106.6
Ball Velocity = 146.9
Launch Angle = 12.1
Back Spin = 2235
Side Spin = +63
Dist = 253

I'm now using Titleist NXT Tour I got from wor lass for Christmas.

Never understood fitting a golf ball around a driver. Mark Crossfield seems to be in agreement with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUNgHa6nXwY

I saw that and I agree. On my home course I hit a driver maybe 11 times so why would the numbers be prevalent around those 11 shots when the majority are into greens or around them?

Well it was interesting if nothing else and I got a couple of free balls.
As said had to use my driver for the test even though I explained I use my 3 wood more than my driver.
We tested 2 balls Titliest Velocity and Bridgestone e6 and the number were better with the e6 and it felt better.
I told the guy afterward that I was already using the e6 and was only doing the fitting to check if it was best for me and he agreed it was.
Numbers were:
Head Speed= 81.9
Ball Velocity=111.5
Launch Angle= 18.8
Back Spin= 2348
Side Spin= +984
Distance= 194

New I wasnt a big hitter so no surprise there but actually enjoyed the fitting

You just needed to ask me

That doesn't sound like much of a test?
