I'm quite satisfy with the U-Tri Tour Ball with mid-price range in the previous day playing with the game. Just learnt that U-Tri Tour is an obseleted product and I asked the Pro-shop to suggest a 3-piece replacement ball with similar performance as U-Tri Tour. The Pro-shop suggested the Bridgestone e6. By then I played a couple of rounds of golf in a very tough course designed by Gary Player out of HK. The green is hard and dry in this winter time. Overall the rating for the ball is good but not great. It can help you to add distance for most of the clubs. The feel is just a little harder than U-Tri. It provides you with a reasonable soft feel on the approach shot, you can check and stop the ball using shot irons or wedges. For the last game. I lose only two balls versus a normal play of losing three or more in this particular tough course. I anticipated that the side spin is certainly reduced if you hit reasonable shots. Sometimes if you want to hit with a long iron 5, 4, or below, you may possibly consider to use 1-club shorter since the ball can carry a longer distance and it will roll on the green a little more than U-Tri Tour/Titleist ProV1. The best I like e6 is the ball flight, it is higher than I expected. I used to hit a lower ball flight with most of the balls such as U-Tri Tour, Titleist ProV1, Titleist NXT Tour. If you do not have any preference and is looking for a mid priced balls, I would recommend the e6.

Having taken up golf again after a 16 year period I went with Top Flite XL 2000, they were cheap and almost indestructable. I found a Bridgestone e6 in the woods and not being able to find mine I just dropped it and put it into play. I noticed the difference with the first shot. The feel was different, the shot straighter and I had more control on the greens. It never went back in the bag and I stopped on the way home for a dozen. A great ball...and to the guys I play with...FEAR ME

I have been playing the Titleist ProV1 & ProV1x and also the Nike One Black & Platnium for some time and found that they honestly did not hold up worth a crap for the money I was paying for them. I hit quite a few wedges in every round and the balls were just not holding up. I went out on a limb and bought a sleeve of the Bridgestone E6's and I must say I played 27 holes with one ball. It was great to find a ball for $25 a dozen that plays as well as this one. It lacks alittle in the spin department but other than that the ball to me is great. I have been playing this ball for 4 months now and I must say if you play a for alittle more roll on some shots and get used to this ball you will not play any other ball. I am 2.8 handicap and I find this ball to suit me just fine.

Started using this ball recently and I find my drives going straighter adding 10 -20 yards per drive. I also hit an 8 iron from 140, it landed 4 feet from the pin and rolled about 20 backwards. I have never gotten backspin on a ball before. With these I am sticking balls on the green instead of rolling off. I have not shot a round in the 100's since I've played these. They seem to save me about 5 or more strokes per round.

Great ball , excellent distance , great price .

I am 7 handicap and have tried a lot of balls

to reviewer below, wwidwithca, can you tell us what kind of cover it does have? Bridgestone advertises Surlyn, what do you know that they don't?

This is a ball that all mid to high handicappers really need to try. You can buy these balls every day at golfsmith for $25. That's a price that I'm comfortable with...don't know about you, but I'm a 10 handicap, and I don't think my game is worthy of $40 balls.....even though I really like them, and I'll pay it if "I have to." I won't buy a cheaper ball if it's going to cost me strokes...or distance.

This ball ball doesn't seem to cost me strokes. It's not as polished as a Pro V1x, but it's really a good ball! Soft, long, and is reasonable around the greens. It DOES NOT have a surlyn cover as one reviewer stated.

Is this ball as good as a tour ball? You must be kidding me! Distance wise you don't give-up anything. It will spin on a full shot, and I like putting with the ball, but the feel, and response is not like a Pro V1x.

But the question is, does this ball cost me strokes over the Pro V1x (which is my favorite ball)?

Right now....I don't think so.

Give it a try and see if you can save some cash like me. Maybe you won't like the ball, but it's worth a sleeve or two try-on,

Excellent ball. I have only been playing two years, and I was playing with the nike one platinum ball. I've never had any problems with that ball, but I needed to find a ball that would play similar withour being so expensive. I posted a question on the discussion boards on this website and I had at least three people recommend this ball. I was not dissapointed. It carries long off the driver and it is soft to the point that it will check up on the green and putts well. I have played numerous balls and I have only found two I was impressed with...however the e6 ball is 15 dollars less per dozen.

Shot a round with these for the first time Saturday and was quite impressed. I've been partial to the vaunted Precept U-Tri-Tour for years, but since those are discontinued, I've been trying other balls lately.

The Bridgestone is as advertised - soft, long and straight. Checked up on the green nearly as well as the Nike One Black, flew at least as straight and far at the Callaway HX Tour. Soft on chips around the green, but not too soft coming off the face of the irons. Putted well, too.

No discernable wear, despite some ground-compressing strokes with my Vokey Spin-Milleds. So far, I'm liking them, and at $25 a box, that looks really good compared to the "premium" balls. I like these so well, I'm going to try the new Bridgestone B330 when these are gone.

If you're looking for a low-compression ball that is Long & Straight off the tee, the e6 just may be what you're looking for. It's quite possibly the longest ball that I've ever hit!

Importantly, the low driver spin will minimize your mis-hits (slices & hooks) and help you to find more fairways. Like ALL Surlyn-cover balls, it's a bit "lively" around the greens with a bit of run-out on chip shots. Durability is excellent..... after one round, the ball still looked like new!

For whatever the reason (seamless cover?), the e6 really holds the line on putts. Feel is as good as one could expect for a non-Urethane ball..... it's NOT a Pro V1.

Long story short, the e6 is IMHO one of the best low-comp balls on the market. Have done numerous on-course comparos with Nike Power Soft (a very good ball), Exception, Laddie Extreme and various others. In every case, the e6 has won out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
