Bridgestone Golf Announces Three New e12 Golf Ball Models

Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, has announced three  all new e12 golf balls, featuring a new Optimal Flight System designed to provide custom performance for the full spectrum of recreational golfers. Based on data compiled from fitting over four million players, the new trajectory-based designs are made to give players the ideal launch and trajectory for their game. In addition, all new e12 golf balls come standard with Bridgestone’s groundbreaking Mindset technology, which was developed with Jason Day and his mental coach Jason Goldsmith to help improve pre-shot routine, mental focus, and overall performance.    

The three new e12 models, the e12 HiLAUNCH, e12 STRAIGHT, and e12 SPEED, are all the result of Bridgestone’s research that indicates approximately 85% of golfers would benefit significantly from playing a ball that was optimized for their typical launch conditions. The e12 HiLAUNCH model, which is aimed to help golfers increase their launch angle and overall trajectory, features the lowest compression of the three new e12 models. This causes the ball to stay on the clubface longer and launch higher for added carry distance. The e12 STRAIGHT, which is designed for players that need reduced sidespin for less hooks and slices, features a soft, low compression core, sidespin reducing mantle, and Contact Force dimples. The e12 SPEED, aimed at players who launch the ball too high and need a hotter, more boring trajectory, features the firmest compression of the three models for a more penetrating launch.

Titleist Releases Vokey WedgeWorks A Grind Lob Wedges

Vokey Design releases the WedgeWorks A Grind, a low bounce lob wedge grind with a narrow, smooth sole that produces a fast feel through the turf. The A Grind features 4 degrees of bounce, and it is ideal for the player looking to smoothly slide the wedge under the ball and flight the ball higher while playing from firm turf and bunkers. WedgeWorks A Grind lob wedges are available now in 58- and 60-degree lofts and feature a Raw finish. 

The A Grind was originally born out of the collaboration between Vokey Tour Representative Aaron Dill and 2006 U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, who was looking for a wedge that moved through firm turf faster than his gamer L Grind. Dill took Ogilvy’s feedback and removed the ribbon on the L grind, resulting in a smoothed-out sole that cut through the ground with less resistance.
