Bollen vi saknat?
Helt sant är det inte att detta är den första tourbollen för oss som svingar lite lugnare. Srixons boll Z-URS är gjord för en svinghastighet ner till 80 mph. Den bollen är fortfarande lite hård i kompressionen, tycker jag, kanske är denna nya boll från Bridgestone mjukare. Då är den verkligt intressant.
Så här skriver Bridgestone i ett pressmeddelande om den nya bollen:
TOUR B330-RX
Through its ball-fitting program, Bridgestone Golf tested thousands of golfers and found that no ball on the market could deliver TOUR-level spin and performance on the greens while also offering a softer compression that allowed moderate swing speed players the ability to compress the core in the same manner a high swing speed player does with other TOUR-level balls. As a result, Bridgestone Golf has developed the new TOUR B330-RX - a ball made specifically for low handicappers who do not have TOUR-level swing speeds, but want TOUR-level performance in their short game.
With its new Very SOFT Gradational Compression Core, the B330-RX delivers TOUR-level spin, control and feel, yet provides maximum distance to moderate swing speed players (less than 105 mph swing speeds) off the tee. Designed for swing speeds between 85-105 mph, the new B330-RX is the softest multilayer ball on the market, and the first TOUR performance ball designed specifically for low handicap amateurs.
In addition to the suped-up core, the B330-RX features an Ionomer Inner Cover that provides increased velocity and reduced spin off the driver and long irons, allowing players to hit their tee shots, fairway woods and long irons further with less swing speed. The B330-RX utilizes the same industry leading Seamless Cover Technology that Bridgestone balls have become known for, and features a 330-dimple pattern for optimal trajectory and consistency of ball flight. Furthermore, the enhanced Urethane cover offers TOUR-caliber greenside control and buttery soft feel on putts.
"We're very excited about the B330-RX as we believe it addresses a segment of players that have not received the attention they deserve," said Brandon Sowell, Golf Ball Marketing Manager - Bridgestone Golf, Inc. "For far too long, the industry's top selling manufacturer has claimed that one type of ball is the best choice for all highly-skilled players, forgetting about those low handicappers who just can't swing at 115 miles per hour. With the 'RX' players will no longer have to sacrifice distance off the tee, for better feel and spin into and around the greens."
