Thoughts on Bridgestone TOUR B RXS Compression?

I’m looking for some insights on the Bridgestone TOUR B RXS golf balls, particularly regarding their compression. \n\n### Performance Attributes \nFrom what I gather, compression can significantly impact performance. I’ve heard that the TOUR B RXS is designed for those who seek a softer feel with a good balance of distance and spin. Does that really translate to a noticeable difference on the course? \n\n### Personal Experiences \nFor those who’ve used the RXS, how does it feel off the driver compared to other brands? And, what about with the wedges? I’m particularly interested in feedback regarding control around the greens. \n\n### Comparison with Other Balls \nHow does the compression of the TOUR B RXS compare to other golf balls you’ve used? If you’ve switched from another ball to the Bridgestone, what differences (positive or negative) have you noticed? \n\nI want to make an informed decision and any personal experiences, insights, or detailed reviews would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Has anyone tried the Bridgestone TOUR B RXS balls yet? I’m really curious about how the compression levels compare to others on the market.

I recently switched to the TOUR B RXS and love the feel! The compression seems perfect for my swing speed, which is around 95 mph. It adds great distance without sacrificing control.

I’m intrigued by the different compression levels too. I think it really affects how the ball reacts upon impact. What compression level did you choose, psalas?

I went for the lower compression since I have a slower swing speed. I noticed improved distance and a softer feel. If you’re a slower swinger, I’d recommend it!

That makes sense! I’ve read that lower compression is often better for those who need more distance and feel. Definitely looking to experiment with that myself.

I have mixed feelings. The higher compression balls feel great off the clubface, but I struggle with the feedback on my slower swings. Not sure if I should switch.

Maybe try the RXS and see if it helps your control on slower swings? The ball’s design might be just what you need.

Compression is such a personal choice for golfers. Does anyone know how to determine the best compression for our unique swing speeds?

A good rule of thumb is to calculate your swing speed and choose a compression that’s about 10-15 points lower. It’s a great way to start!

I’m still figuring it all out! I’ve heard that certain feel preferences also come into play. Do you think that can outweigh the compression level for some people?

Absolutely! Some players prioritize feel, and if a ball feels good, they might hit better, regardless of the compression.

Sounds like golf is like dating—everyone has their type! But really, a ball that feels good can almost make you forget about the specifics of compression.

I’ve been using the Bridgestone TOUR B RXS and absolutely love the feel off the clubface. It’s softer compared to other balls I’ve tried, like the Pro V1. More control around the greens too!

I totally agree! The compression really makes a difference in the short game. It’s like putting with butter!

I’ve switched to the TOUR B RXS from the Callaway Chrome Soft, and I feel like I get better distance with less effort. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes! I noticed more distance on my drives too. The ball just seems to fly!

The Bridgestone TOUR B RXS is definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a ball that offers both feel and spin. I used to play the TaylorMade TP5, but the RXS has been a game changer for me.

I was skeptical at first. The TP5 has such a reputation, but the RXS has a smoother touch. Really impressed!

I like the RXS for its softer feel, but sometimes I question if it sacrifices a bit of distance. Can anyone clarify? Just my personal experience!
