PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 11 Golf Giveaway: Full YEAR Supply of (12 Dozen) 2024 Bridgestone Golf Tour B Balls

The new Bridgestone Golf Tour B golf balls are designed not only for you to have the utmost confidence in your golf ball.  But also for that confidence to never go away.

And we're going BIG for the JingleBAM DAY 11 prize in my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  A Full YEAR Supply of (12 Dozen) 2024 Bridgestone Golf Tour B balls.  The winner can choose from any of the Tour B X, Tour B XS, Tour B RX, or Tour B RXS balls, and can also choose the MindSet models of each.

You'll find a quick refresher below with my impressions on all four models to give you an idea of how the four models compare.  And you can also check out the Bridgestone Golf Online Ball Fitter here.  Bridgestone taps into a database of over 320.000 live launch monitor fittings to best help you choose the ideal ball for your game.

Tiger Woods has said the most important thing in your golf bag is your golf ball.  "It's the golf ball because it's something you use on every shot," according to Woods.  And I'm not going to argue with a 15-time major champion.

All four Bridgestone Golf Tour B models use a new REACTIV X System that combines new cover and mid-layer technology giving you all kinds of performance benefits.  The new Tour B ball rebounds even faster on tee shots for more ball speed and distance, and it stays on the face longer on approach shots delivering more spin and control than ever before in a Bridgestone ball.

The Tour B X (the ball Tiger is using today at the PNC Championship) is a ball for players with swing speeds of 105 mph or higher and for players who want to maximize distance.  Even with my swing speed lower than 105 mph this is the longest ball for me off the tee and I regularly get spin in the high 6,000 RPM range with this ball with my mid-irons which is plenty good to hold greens.

The Tour B XS also is for players with swing speeds north of 105 mph but provides a little more spin and also has a softer feel.  I tend to hit Tour B X longer than Tour B XS with both my driver and irons (in each case about 5 yards longer).  Tour B X has lower driver spin for me than the Tour B X, but Tour B XS has more spin on full shots with my irons and wedges.  It's hard to pass up more spin with your irons and wedges but as mentioned above I get all I need with the Tour B X, and this illustrates one of the reasons why going through a Bridgestone Golf ball fitting is important.

The Tour B RX is designed for players who swing less than 105 mph.  And the difference between Tour B RX and Tour B RXS is similar to the difference between the Tour B X and Tour B XS.  Tour B RXS has a softer feel and a little more spin than Tour B RX.  I hit the Tour B RX almost the same distance as the Tour B X off the tee, but surprisingly shorter than the Tour B XS.  I say surprisingly because my swing speed would suggest the R balls are better suited for me.  Again, go see your friendly neighborhood Bridgestone Golf ball fitter.

And of course MindSet (designed with input from Jason Day and his performance coach) is a huge story in the Bridgestone Tour B lineup of balls.  It's so much more than a logo or graphic or alignment aid.  Bridgestone worked on MindSet for almost five years with the purpose and goal of helping all of us play better golf.  And at its core MindSet is a process.

 

The Red is designed to identify your target.  This basically represents all the information you're gathering or you need to hit your shot.  So you're thinking what's my yardage, what's the wind doing, is my shot uphill or downhill, things like that.  The Gold represents committing to and visualizing your shot.  Things like I'm going to hit a 7-iron here, or I'm going to hit a baby draw to that back left pin.  And lastly, Green represents the singular focus of executing your shot.

It's very easy for all of us as golfers to have a good round going and then out of nowhere we check out, just wipe one OB into territory unknown.  MindSet keeps us in right frame of mind to intentionally hit the right shot.  And the MindSet identify/commit/execute process helps us stay in the shots we're hitting for every shot in our round.

Remember you always have three different ways to win the daily gifts in my giveaway this year.  And if you missed a day don't worry.  You can enter ANY of the DAY Giveaways anytime throughout the entire 12 Days of Christmas.
