smuhunter Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I have already tried this ball. I am hooked. It is awesome. As long or longer than the Pro V1 X and HX Tour. More spin than both and a better trajectory. I have made the switch to BRIDGESTONE, just like my tires. :surprize: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breal Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Great great ball, I have been using the prototype ball for a while and it is one to stay. I believe its the TS X-01 or X-01S ball from japan. One word is SOLID!!!!![/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1over Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I have already tried this ball. I am hooked. It is awesome.As long or longer than the Pro V1 X and HX Tour.

I have made the switch to BRIDGESTONE, just like my tires. :surprize: Todd "Big Hitter" from bsg ran some launch monitor tests on the B33 along with Titleist ProV1, ProV1X, new ProV1-X, new HXTour, and the Nike One Black. The launch moniter results showed that the B33 was the longest tested, more than a yard longer than the new ProV1-X. Definetly worth a look here.

murch Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Did he conduct those tests with a hitting robot or human testing? Great ball, great ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLMelton Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I have only one round with the ball so I can't say anything too definitive about it. My driving was a bit off (never felt like my timing was right) but I was at least as long as the ProV1x so it will be interesting to see how things go when I'm feeling more confident on the next few rounds. The one suprising thing was the two slightly thin shots I hit. Both hit the green and settled down very quickly. All of the iron shots into the green bit very well and stopped within a foot or two and some backed up a bit. The spin seemed to be right in between a ProV1 and V1x. Wedge shots hit and bit and chip shots rolled out as expected. Durability is very good. I played a whole round with the same ball, nailed a tree on one hole and you can barely find any damage. I'll try to get six more rounds in and then give a full review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Breal, whassup with your avatar now! Dissapointing man! Get the animated knockers back up already :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
