Bridgestone had a demo at my club and gave my brother and I some new balls to try. I played one round with the Bridgestone and went right back to the ProV1. My brother, Matt gave it three rounds. Today, after he stopped a wedge four feet away on the first hole with his ProV1, he announced that the Bridgestone experiment was over.
No matter which manufacturer tries to lure me away with the promise of reduced side spin or more distance, the fact is that the ProV1 is the best ball I have ever played. It is the best around the greens, by far, and gives me the best chance to shoot a good score. Of course, the ProV1x is solid too!
