Bridgestone Pro V1 equivalent - any good?

[Snelly]

Hi,

I am about to order some new corporate golf balls and don't want to buy Pro V's as they are too expensive and you can get a much better deal on Z Stars. My supplier can't get Z Stars by the date I need them and I don't want to change supplier.

He has offered my Bridgestone Tour B330-S or B330-RXS balls as an alternative. These get good reviews but I have no first hand experience of them. Can anyone who has used them give me their views on these balls please?

Thanks,


Snelly.

Every bit as good, some might say better.
I've used the RXS and found it be so similar to a ProV that I doubt many could really tell the difference.

I play the Tour-s and it's every bit as good as the pro-v1.

Tried the B330 tour on wed medal after reading good things about them on hear. Found it to be slightly softer than the Z-star and very comparable to the Prov1. I picked 12 up for £19.99 at AG and are an absolute steel. I would use them again in a minute.

Now that you can get B330 and z-stars for £20, cant see me paying £30+ for prov's when the others are just as good.

Very helpful.

Many thanks to you all.

They are the best ball I've tried for me (although realise it is a personal thing so may not be for others).

Use the tour b330-s at the minute but have also used the tour b330 and they are really good aswell.

Not used the rx versions though.

Im currently using the B330-S mate and they are a cracking ball. As others have said very similar to the Z star and Prov, you wont go wrong with these

I use the B330-S and like them more than ProV's. Doesn't mean they're better, but I like them.

I think Bridgestone would say that is their premium ball.

ProV1 = B330-S
ProV1x = B330

back using these again the b330 is a cracking ball but i prefer the b330 rxs great ball for those swing speeds under 105 mph which if its corporate not all the guys playing in the day will be low handicappers ,you can't go wrong with these.

My dad uses them religously and Ive tried his out a few times and tbh I cant tell the difference between them and a ProV1...

Thanks for all the responses but after all that, there were delivery issues with the Bridgestones!
I have placed the order now and am getting 24 dozen Callaway IZ Tour balls instead.

I know that these are okay as have played with them a few times.

Thanks again for the replies though. Really useful and I will get myself some of the Bridgestones to try out anyway.

The 330-s is a nice ball but marks really easily, maybe as bad as the Cally iX Tour.

I agree totally. Using the RXS for 2 years now

Very good balls. To be honest if it is a corporate thing will that many of the golfers actually know/care. The RX is every bit as good as a Pro V

Dont like the 330S in fact I hate it, yet I love the B330RX.!

 

[Dodger]

Great eggs,the RX are the ball of choice....better than the ProV.
