I used a Bridgestone e6 after using an NXT Tour. I shot a +19. Exceptional distance, straight flight. Decent ball for putting. I would give it a good rating because here I buy 1 box for Rs:1800 -- that's $40. Bridgestone e6 all way. Forget all about Titleist overpriced balls. :P (Y)

I have been playing pro V1x for many years. Went to local shop in my area to get fitted for a golf ball. I was generating lot's of spin, around 7-8000 rpms. So that explained the balloning effect and spinning off the greens even with my 9 iron. I was hitting the pro V1's 180 yrds with my 7 iron with 10 ft scatter distance, hit the e6 at 5000 rpms, 185 yrds with a 3 ft scatter. Since i switched, i've increased distance and accuracy. I can control the spins so much better now on my approach shots. Best part is the price of these. Gotta love it. Thanks Brigdestone for a great golf ball

I did a Bridgestone ball fitting at a PGA tournament even though I'm skeptical about them at a big event because they are trying to run so many people through. I noticed that most golfers were being fitted to hit the e6 which made me even more skeptical. Of course I was fitted to the e6 also and they gave me a two ball sleeve. I haven't bought any other ball since. They recommended them to so many people because the ball is that good. I can literally tell the difference in the amount of turn I get when I hit a bad shot. I shoot in the 80's the large majority of my rounds and I can't find any reason to change balls. I will admit that the tour balls give me quite a bit more stopping spin on the greens (especially on pitch shots) but what does that matter if you had to take a penalty getting there because your ball went out of bounds off the tee.

Wow. Well that could be the extent of this review as it covers everything I need say but I will add a few more words about them. I've been playing the e6 for a while already and was very impressed by them, they give me great length and a good amount of spin for mid-tier ball. However this weekend I finally got some Optic Yellow in the local store as I wanted a winter ball in yellow. Well I used one yesterday and whilst the performance of the ball is still on a par with the white ball the yellow ones are sooooooo much more durable than the white version. The white ones get one or two small scuffs after a 9 holes, not enough for me to swap one out but enough to notice the mucky colour of the turf discolouring them. The Yellow on the other hand was still pristine after a full 18. I literally spent 5 mins comparing it with a new one from the same sleeve and couldn't see anything on it to tell the difference from new. Wonderful ball. Thanks Bridgestone.

A few years ago tried e6 and enjoyed it and then discovered callaway bite ( stop making them) tried callaway diablo octane tour ball( not satisifed) Came back and tried the 2011 e 6 and found much better tried the e7 and decided that e 6 is my ball for my swing( finally) The journey continues in this exciting game Thanks

I play in the 90's to high 80's and have had trouble with the dreaded slice. I bought a box of e6 yellow and have found that I am hitting the ball straighter and a little longer. As long as the ball goes straight, that's half the battle. Yellow is good for me to see also. Love the ball and won't hit any other ball.

I'm a fairly recent to the game but already shooting low 90s to high 80s on tour length courses. I was really confused about which ball to pick, and had been using a eclectic assortment of balls during play. so I did some research and decided the e6 was the ball I would try, and after going thru your web site ball fitting service several times I got the same result, the verdict, the e6 is a great versitile ball which has brought new confidence to my game, especially around the greens, the optic orage is pretty cool too...thanx Bridgestone

The e6 is an excellent ball, have played it for about 1 year now, and its a keeper. dont think i could ever play another ball again, Even though its an anti hook/slice ball, you can still work it left and right, probably with more control as you can not really over do it like I was prone doing before. I purchased the 2011 e6 today and will be playing it tomorrow. looks like the old "Freak" balls by topflite with the double dimple design, but I have a feeling that it will be much better than that rock

I attended a ball fitting at a local driving range. I was fitted to the bridgestone e6. I was skeptical about being fitted for a golf ball. I was given a sleeve and tried they my next round of golf that was the 1st. of 2010. Now, Bridgestone e6 is all I play. Good Ball.
