I read a golf ball test and this ball tested as good as the best balls around the greens with a half swing sandwedge. Its the only ball under $70 with a urethane cover. My ball stops quicker on the greens than any other ball. I get backspin with my 4 iron. With a 9 deg driver the ball has a good flight with no balloon. The drives go as far ifnot further than a proV. The ball seems to balloon off my irons witch gives me good backspin. I've brought 6 boxes of these and it's the ball for me. Don't waste your money on an other ball.

Tried it for the urethane cover. I like the soft feel around the greens, without sacrificing anything on the tee box, or in the fairway. I moved to a Ping Redwood putter, from an Odyssey with an insert. No face insert on the Ping. So the softer feel of the E5+ works well the steel face of the Ping. A surlyn covered ball was like putting a rock. If you struggle with control around the greens, TRY THIS BALL!!! Urethane covered balls are usually pricey. This is very reasonably priced. Even more when caught on sale. Seriously. Golfers drop $300 on a driver. Then will only spend $10 for a dozen balls? There's a reason Top Flites are given away at golf outings. They're worthless.

I recently took the Bridgestone Challenge here at Pro Golf in Bend. I have been playing the NXT Extreme and liking it, but I was fitted for the E5+. After trying it for a week, I've noticed that I'm getting a higher ball flight and definitely more distance. The ball has a nice, soft feel for approachs and has a great feel on the green. I have definitely noticed more spin on chips and pitches. Overall, I may have found my perfect match with the E5+. Great job, Bridgestone!

Have played e5+ & treo-soft balls both. E5+ will give more distance, but I like the feel of the treo-soft off the club better. Don't have a fast swing speed, so treo may be better for average lady golfers.

I really never knew what control was until i used this ball. i have always played the titleist nxt tour. i am always in the fairway on my drives with this ball, and my irons are right on line with this ball. if you aren't sure which ball to buy, just buy a 3 pack and try it you will love them from the first drive, long and straight, with great spin from your irons. THANK YOU BRIDGESTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the fitting yesterday and this ball is perfect for golfers who don't want to spend $35 on the B330-RX. It cut my golf budget in half. This ball is the best ball I have ever played!

HI, checking in again, this ball is still great i have been playing it for 3 months now. The amount of control i have with this ball is great. It has great spin into the green, it will stick anywhere you aim it. the driver distance is unmatched, havent found a ball as long as this ever. thank you bridgestone!!!!!!!

I'm a decent golfer playing of hcp5. I normally play the Titleist Pro V1, but after having read a ball test in a Swedish golf magazine where this 2 piece ball showed spin rates that matched the top 3-piece balls on the market I decided to give it a try. The new e5+ certainly exceeded my expectations. Long off the tee, superb spin and nice feel off the putter. Great value for money, cant see any reason to play any other ball out there.

I have played the Pro V1 and Pro V1x depending on conditions. I'm a 3 handicap. I found an e5 + and hit it. I immediately noticed a higher ball flight and more distance. I then read that the ball is designed for a higher flight. I want to compare it more to the Pro V1x distance and the Pro V for spin around the greens. It seems to carry more than the V1x, Can't quite figre out the spin yet compared to the V1 and X since I have changed my swing on approaches. But I had to adapt when I would go back and forth from V1 to V1x. I think this will be the ball for me this year and I'll adapt and like the spin once I adapt to the spin.. Learning the spin difference willl be worth it for the distance. It spins less than v1 but apx same as V1x except the V1x seems to drop in alittle softer. I really like the extra height I'm getting off the tee. More simular to pro tragectory off the tee than the Pro V1 and X. Seems to have less error on shots lost to the left and right than the V1 and X.
