Let’s face it: We all need a little help in certain areas when we get older. Just because you’ve lost a few yards off the tee, there’s no need to panic and trade in that tour-performance ball for a distance model, sacrificing control and feel in the process. Just get yourself to the nearest shop and pick up some Bridgestone Tour B330-RX balls.

Bridgestone has been at the forefront of trying to get golfers to play the right type of ball for their swing. In fact, their nationwide ball-fitting program led the company to discover that the players with moderate swing speeds didn’t maximize their distance potential when using the company’s tour-performance balls, the B330 and B330-S.

Filling that vacuum is the Tour B330-RX, which retains tour-level feel and spin for shorter shots but provides maximum distance off the tee for players with driver swing speeds 85 and 105 miles per hour, thanks to a soft core. This edition to the line now gives Bridgestone an attractive third option to the company’s B330-S (optimized for swing speeds of 103–115 MPH) and B330 (112 MPH and above) models.

Best of all, the RX benefits from the same technology as its faster brothers, allowing for consistently optimal performance through every club in the bag. So while you may not drive it as far as a tour pro, you can start playing like one.
