Really. I would love to see you prove that. I don't think the differences are that noticeable and I'd suggest if you were to slip a Bridgestone B330 RXS into the mix you wouldn't tell that one.

I can actually remember the last time I played with an RXS (10th and 11th of Bearwood Lakes). And it was certainly a distinctive feel! Not to my taste. I certainly could never tell the difference between the earlier incarnations of Srixon premium balls Z-URS, Z-URC etc, nor the equivalent B330s, nor actually distinguish the difference in the 2 brands!

I'm prepared to take your challenge (distinquishing the 2 AD333s) on for a £20 donation to H4H if you have the cahones! As Fundy posted, 3 putts (probably less) and I'd easily pick the difference!

The original pair are, to me, chalk and cheese ie I would happily bet I could tell the difference simply by dropping them on the face of an 8 iron let alone hitting them properly. As many have commented the AD333 has a harder feel overall and a definite click from low compression contacts.

RXS and soft feel not so easy - RX and AD333 likewise ; but here the playing charecteristics are difference rather than the feel (between the pairs).

However, despite the above, I would generally agree with the hypothesis that most here could score equally well with any of them; although they would be more confident with a ball they like and the Bridgestone models will spin a little more.

The Bridgestone B330-RXS is another ball I can't get on with. Seems to fly very high and accentuates hooks and slices. The RX version seems OK.

When I'm playing well the RXS is my ball of choice - when things aren't quite as controlled the e6 from choice (but many will do :))

The only balls I have bought in the last 15 years were 4 doz RXS when someone posted a deal on here last year.

The Bridgestone e6 golf ball does seem to fly amazingly straight. Wonder how they manage that within the equipment rules, which require balls to be symmetrical?

I believe Foxholer can tell the difference[why not].

I remember watching a programme back in the 80s a man could tell what car was in the studio just by listening to the click the door made when being closed.[blindfolded].

All these doubting Thomas's make me [s--k]

Don't let me down Foxholer:thup:

I think a little gathering around the putting green and a few bets for H4H's would be a good bit of banter, guessing the ball :thup:

Not at H4H and would need to see it for myself so in simple terms - NO

Nor am I at this stage! The H4H as a beneficiary was simply just so it wasn't for personal gain (either way), even though I found your disbelief something of an insult to my integrity!

I'm sure we could arrange the test elsewhere!
