no one assumes anything - they always discuss taking the best AVG. of a group of shots. They might hit 10 and take the best/most consistent 5 or 6. Just like you wouldn't buy a ball/club based on your worst swings - but on your best!
David Ciccoritti i would think they’d be much the same. Matt has a fast swing speed so that’s where these balls fit perfectly but for anyone under 105mph then the RXS and RX are still tour balls and would likely have the same results. I think main difference is just compression
I am testing the RX at the moment. Swing speed is on the cusp so will be interested to see comparison. Putting the RX up against TP-5; AVX and Pro V1 for gaming the rest of the season. Might also throw B-XS into the mix. Sort of looking for something that feels soft off putter and wedges like AVX and lower flatter ball flight with short and mid irons but has a higher ball flight on 5i; 4H and up and spins around the greens 🦄
Congrats on manufacturers taking notice of you guys. Always good to have products sent to you and it says a lot about the company and their confidence in their product.
I’ve played both Pro-V’s, Chrome Soft’s, TP-5’s, and Bridgestone’s over the last 10 years, and the B-X has me shooting the best scores of my life since I was a scratch player in my late teens-early 20’s. I’m hitting it the longest, straightest, and with the most control, ever. I can fade it, draw it, knock-it-down, hit shots that release a bit, hit shots that drop and stop, and hit shots that back-up, if needed. This is the most complete and best ball I’ve ever hit. The XS does everything that B-X does, but for me, it’s not as accurate; however, it’s longer (5-10 yards)...? It also seems more scuff resistant than the other balls mentioned and is by far the best in the wind, all for $15-20 less than a dozen Pro-V’s... I’m a higher spin player so it makes sense that the X is better for me. Average driver distance: 270ish; 7 iron: 165ish; 50 degree wedge: 115ish. A couple of older guys in our golf group switched to the RX and say it’s the best ball they’ve ever hit, too. If you’re not completely satisfied with your ball’s performance, give one of Bridgestone’s new balls a try.
All I can say is I've played golf for 35 years and Titleist has been my go to ball. I've played the Pro V1 ever since it came out. 3 months ago I tried the RBX and will be playing it from now on. I think Titleist has a serious competitor.
Really excited to see you guys test these on short pitches. I compared 2019 BXS to Chrome Soft X and the response was night and day. CSX sometimes gave me weird ones that would rocket off the face, but BXS was so predictable and had noticeably higher stopping power (even on ~15 ft bumps). People are saying the 2020’s are even crazier with stopping power, but don’t sleep on the 2019’s either! The 2019 BX has also been a fantastic ball on windy days, so I can’t wait to see the 2020’s in action!
I’ve been playing the XS since the start of the year and it’s hands down my favorite ball I’ve ever played. It seems to just jump off the face while being controllable off irons and wedges.
One thing to note about the different between the two 7-irons, the BXS stopped on the green 2 yards faster. If you're attacking pins, that's a difference of a putt by as much as 6 feet, or a 4ft versus 10ft putt. That's a game changer to me.
I’m having a TXG day can’t get enough of your videos I’m currently using the Bridgestone BXS and I just like the ball as it’s great around the greens ok time to watch another 🇦🇺👀
Matt I’m not sure what you might be working on swing path wise, but your tempo looks as good as ever! I’m trying to slow down in the back swing and watching a fellow lefty do it so well just helps me a ton. Love those balls and can’t wait to test them!
Oh my.... played the Tour B x for the first time today. Seems to have it all. Long off the driver and good response around the greens. Had been gaming the XS too soft but a lot of spin. I didn't like the feel off the putter the X solves that problem. Going to say it the X is one of the best balls ever. Wish they would print the logo in the same spot on every ball though( the onpy thing wrong with the ball.
So excited by this.. the XS nearly made in the bag this year. Looks like they changed it to what I need. Putting was interesting with the previous model felt very different.
I play the XS as I need the spin. Love the performance around the greens and the ball flight I get off my irons. Played a round with the new XS a couple days ago and after 18 there was only a noticeable scuff from a tree I hit. Really surprised and happy with the cover's durability. Bridgestone did a really great job with the new balls!
I'm interested in the last part of your discussion. I'm a high swing speed player that over-spins irons and switched to an AVX last year. Gained half a club and accuracy with irons but lost 5-10 yards with the driver I didn't really need
I started playing the B330RX about 3 years ago and have continued. For my game (12 handicap) they work really well. Driver, soft feel around greens and irons, and for me not too spiny typically on full iron shots one hop and stop. I’ve played ProV1’s and they are clearly great golf balls but B330’s are about $10 less and work better for me. This might sound dumb but ProV1’s are “too” spiny on the greens I had consistenty problem with chips checking up quick then sometimes not, and full shots spinning too much making a good shot then left 12-15’ or out after it spun. I highly recommend B330rx for average golfer who swing speed is as the box says 90 mph to right at 100 or a little more
The TP5X was the ball of choice for years. After extensively testing (on course) the premium line of Srixon, Taylormade and Bridgestone, the latter is a legitimate zero compromise ball. You either want/need more or less spin, cause the thing is gonna fly for any competent player.
I love the TXG videos. Sometimes it is too technical and sometimes not my bag. But y'all deliver regardless! Iron Byron has a new ball. He almost backspins a HIO with his wedge. He almost HIOs with his driver. Balls are carpet size landing zone. And, I am only halfway through the vid...
Agree with the last part...need to test in 'real life' conditions as last year's Tiger ball was very floaty off the driver in the wind. Big Cat says it's better in the wind so that's obviously a great endorsement
I feel you have to test balls out on the course too really see how it flys into the green and spins. on course testing and being outside is the best way too test... simulator are ok I guess but on course testing is where you will find the real difference between both of the balls
Bridgestone b330 (blue box) has been my favorite / best ball for years.. fly well in the wind. Lower spin for me on driver and more than enough with irons
Great video! Would love to see a comparison of X and XS to last years model and see first hand if claims of 1.5 MPH ball speed and 350 RPM spin gains hold up.
Great video as always. The only element that could’ve added to this test would’ve been sub 100 yard wedge shots and a comparison to last year’s. The big tech advancement was the reactiv urethane, and the sub 100 yard shots could have helped illustrate the difference.
The X flies lower and spins less off all my wedges (46,50,54,58) than does the XS. The difference in spin is more noticeable than is the difference in flight, for me.
Good video, fellas! I've actually preordered the 2020 B-RX balls. First time I've ever done that with...well, anything in golf equipment. The B-RX has been such a great ball for me. I was blown away by the consistency of performance of all four 2019 balls in both the MGS test and the Today's Golfer test. I look forward to see the testing at normal human swing speeds for the B-RX and B-RXS. Sorry, Matty. I don't mean to imply that you are not human. You are totally a human. And let's not forget that Ian can pound 'em out there to 315, too!!
Switching between the B-RXS (softer feel) and TP5-Pix (for easy identification). I think the TP5 is maybe slightly longer with driver and spins slightly more on mid iron. Still undecided on feel off the putter face. Like the soft feel of the B-RXS but depends as I switch between a Del Mar and Phantom X 8.5. Can feel the miss on the putter face a little more with the TP5.
TXG - you know you need to give us what all are wanting to see (ProV1 vs Tour B XS & ProV1X vs Tour B X) right? Titleist just released their 2021 version. It’s a great time to do it!!
Been playing Bridgestone for some time now and love seeing the progression. Surprised about the B XS though. I was hoping a bit of spin separation in the driver as I could use a bit more. Matt, please fix your ball marks! 🤣
Gents you've missed one of the biggest things Bridgestone have been talking about. Big spin increases on short shots. They have been talking 3/400 more on a 15 yard pitch..... That's huge. Keep up the great work
Interesting! I just started to play the BXS after a mini fitting session at a range recently. I've ended up loving the ball from the 7 iron down, so much more control than the Z Star XV I was playing. The z star is a little more stable in the wind and has a slightly better flight off a 4 iron IMO. But, I had to drop driver from 10* down to 9* and adjust the weight balance of my Rogue SZ to get the driver spin back to normal level. Very glad to have made the changes though. As a single figure handicap player my feedback is that it's the best premium ball I've ever played for < 80m by quite some margin in all conditions except a hot and dry tightly mown greens where the Pro V still bites the best by a hair.
It would be cool to see a comparison between hitting the right golf ball for your swing speed and a random assortment of golf balls like what most people probably have in their bag. I would be curious to see how much of a difference it would make and if it is worth it to stick with a certain ball.
I agree that is a significant difference between two balls of equal compression. Since you showed the average, was the XS always slower? It wasn't a strike issue skewing the numbers? Also would love to see the R series tested to compare ball speeds especially with the whole "softer is slower" argument.
Great video as normal 👍One thing always gets me on spin ,is when something is 400 revs different eg 7 iron 6500 compared to 6100 would that really make a difference as per second it’s 108 ps compared to 102 per sec !!would 6 revs make any difference really with something spinning that speed 🤔
Great test. I enjoy all your content guys. Since my problem last year (I played Tour B X) was spin around the green, I may go back to the softer compression ball. Still unsure though. It is a difficult problem to have.
I switched to BX this year to lower driver spin...and I had immediately noticed much less spin on the wedges and short game. I miss the softer feel of the BXS, and I feel like my wedge game is more valuable than 500 RPM less on a driver. Plus I did just get fitted for new driver and spin on there is back in manageable range. But I feel you on this comment. I will probably do a test like this as the range, but would love to get back to the XS for me for short game needs.
Took a chance on the "Tiger branded" Bridgestone ball of last year, as the campaign they ran had it priced at a very attractive price - Very very good golfball !! has overtaken my AVX's and become my primary choice.
Think I would pick the ball with the better dispersion and less draw considering they went the same distance. The XS had further total distance with 3mph less ball speed...
A great review like always. The Tour BX total distance should have been just as far as the BXS or more, but Matt's last drive with the BX stuck the green at 320 yards (longest carry) and maybe rolled 5-6 yds. All the other drives landed right before the green and rolled on average 20 yds. They need to move the green 10 yds back, for Matty. The BX carried 2 yds more, but 3 yds less in total distance?
I switched to tour bx last year incredible ball! bxs felt better but too spinny off the driver! Glad they fixed that since the bxs feels better. when do these come out ???
Great swinging Mattty Boy, keeping that bell left of target with the driver was beautiful watch! Both scary and exciting that they lowered the spin significantly with the 2020 XS with the Driver! Worries me a bit because I have distance that I am willing to sacrifice for straightness. However, I feel like you are normally a very low spin with the driver, so these are still probably spinning it 400+ more than other balls for you. Well done as per usual my boys
Late comment, however if there were some 2019 balls laying around, it would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison. I know I felt/perceived/saw a difference, both good and bad, between the PRO V1 and TP5 from a couple years ago with last year's version. Wondering if that's just me or if there is some truth to that. Not that we can still get previous year's models, however if there is a difference it might be good for consumers to understand in the testing.
Always nice to beat Mr. Thumbs down to a fresh TXG gem. Maybe the Ogre is asleep under his bridge today. Gamed the 2018 BX last year after testing many balls. Looks like there might be a little more in the tank for BX in 2020. Would like to see a top ball showdown between Titleist, Bridgestone, TaylorMade with "The BloisBot"
You guys should test the new Tour B RXS. That ball performs better than the XS. I have a 115 Swing speed and somehow hit the RXS farther and straighter. The RXS is better off the irons and chips and putts fantastic. Bridgestone says i should be hitting the XS. However the RXS performs better.
Ian, I know from a past video you used an STI mat comparing indoor vs outdoor numbers. Would you mind sharing what setup you guys have there with the larger area of synthetic turf and strip of hitting area? Thanks!
The XS is noticeably softer than the X. I play the X because it’s suits my overall game better, but I actually like the softer feel of the XS on the putter.
Wouldn’t you want to go with the ball that spins more with low irons/wedges and less with driver? The BXS had more overall distance with less ball speed. Or does the extra driver spin help hit more fairways?
Question: I’ve heard it said that Tiger prefers golf balls with more spin because he likes to work the ball. That seems counter intuitive to the notion that spin creates stability in flight. Are both correct?
I work for Bridgestone but not in the golf ball part. In our company store they charge us more for the golf balls then I could buy at any retail store.
Weren't these the company that stopped supplying Bridgestone balls to the UK a year or so back? I had to switch to another m/for, and now they would like us back eh?
Im confused by the reviews I have seen and even the packaging, says theyre for 105 MPH club head speed and above, I am noew to golf so don't think I will be any where near that yet I found one (BXS) and hit really well, far and straight.
My wife: "Now you're watching other guys practice golf? Me (in a Scottish accent): knoo, Maddy is jist doin sum testin".
gotta start with " AH JEEAAZZZUS CHROOIIIST, MADDY.
😂😂😂👊🏾
Bridgestone: We need a robot to test our balls
Matty: Hold my beer
Matty was on point!
@@flipdawhip2573 you're assuming that there wasn't any shots taken out...
no one assumes anything - they always discuss taking the best AVG. of a group of shots. They might hit 10 and take the best/most consistent 5 or 6. Just like you wouldn't buy a ball/club based on your worst swings - but on your best!

I feel humiliated. Matt with the BX ball was more accurate with his driver to the green (300+ yards) than I am with my sand wedge (from 60 yards)
I see Fred Couples is using the new RXS... be great to see the 4 balls reviewed together at slow and fast swing speeds.
So excited by this.. the XS nearly made in the bag this year. Looks like they changed it to what I need. Putting was interesting with the previous model felt very different.

Love Matty channeling his inner Tiger with the Sunday red/black!! 🐅
Pretty impressive stuff. Good performance from both golf balls. Matt hitting them like a robot made by Mr. Fantastic.
Whatever you need to be better around the greens is how you should choose in my opinion. I love the XS
Would love to see a video comparing the Bridgestone offerings to other premium balls.

Iron Byron has a new ball. He almost backspins a HIO with his wedge. He almost HIOs with his driver.

Love it how Matt gets it closer from 320 with a driver than with a 7 iron 😂
Would love to see a test of all 4 balls in the Tour B lineup. I use the RX currently.

Love the product shots and the new lighting! You guys rock!
Thanks Russ!!
Please review the new tour B RX ...... i’m assuming it’s most fit for the majority of recreational good golfers (under 105 speed)
Great video as always. The only element that could’ve added to this test would’ve been sub 100 yard wedge shots and a comparison to last year’s. The big tech advancement was the reactiv urethane, and the sub 100 yard shots could have helped illustrate the difference.
The X flies lower and spins less off all my wedges (46,50,54,58) than does the XS. The difference in spin is more noticeable than is the difference in flight, for me.

👍 Any plans to test Snell MTB-X? What about a top ball test for Matty? Run him through all of them. 💪
Agreed
Snell MTB-X vs ProV1X
I play the RX/RXS and at 25 quid a dozen, I honestly don't think you can beat it.

Great test gents. Matty yur swing is awesome. Your hard work is paying off. Come on Spring.
Gents you've missed one of the biggest things Bridgestone have been talking about.
Big spin increases on short shots.
They have been talking 3/400 more on a 15 yard pitch..... That's huge.
Keep up the great work
looking forward to seeing that when we get outside and work with it around the greens 👍
SWEET! I’ve been waiting for this video. Thinking I might need to switch balls this year

Found a Bridgestone tiger tour bx ball on the course and got crazy amounts of spin with it, fairly decent
Has Matt ever hit it better?! What a clinic!
Would love to see comparison's between this years versions and last years versions.
Yes please

Yes it was consistently slower, couldn’t get any over 176 with it during the whole test
@@clubchampionmedia Thanks for the clarification. So strange and a lot to give up for such a small spin gain.

I'm like Ian, I used to not be able to look at the dimple pattern on Bridgestone. But I might be able to get used to this new X.
Another great video. I am fortunate to get some XS from Bridgestone to try and can’t wait!
please do a 2024 version !! :> maybe vs the other big brands - tm & titleist
tryna decide what ball to get

A great review like always. The Tour BX total distance should have been just as far as the BXS or more, but Matt's last drive with the BX stuck the green at 320 yards (longest carry) and maybe rolled 5-6 yds. All the other drives landed right before the green and rolled on average 20 yds. They need to move the green 10 yds back, for Matty. The BX carried 2 yds more, but 3 yds less in total distance?
Been waiting for this one, woo!
Edit: aww no 2019 vs 2020? What about testing the claimed 1.5 mph gain? 😞
I switched to tour bx last year incredible ball! bxs felt better but too spinny off the driver! Glad they fixed that since the bxs feels better. when do these come out ???
Nice work again guys
Always watch your stuff
Really like the ball reviews is there new Callaway balls out this year that you are testing?
First! Let’s go! I play the XS and prior the B330. Cant wait to see the results.
pretty cool to see ben hogan testing these new balls
Great swinging Mattty Boy, keeping that bell left of target with the driver was beautiful watch! Both scary and exciting that they lowered the spin significantly with the 2020 XS with the Driver! Worries me a bit because I have distance that I am willing to sacrifice for straightness. However, I feel like you are normally a very low spin with the driver, so these are still probably spinning it 400+ more than other balls for you. Well done as per usual my boys
"Thats good" Matt Blois
Adam Hall you always know Matt is enjoying it when he says “Ye-e-e-es” to himself in a low voice. 😂
What is the best round you've both ever posted? That strike and dispersion is mad. Love the vids 👍🏻
Late comment, however if there were some 2019 balls laying around, it would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison. I know I felt/perceived/saw a difference, both good and bad, between the PRO V1 and TP5 from a couple years ago with last year's version. Wondering if that's just me or if there is some truth to that. Not that we can still get previous year's models, however if there is a difference it might be good for consumers to understand in the testing.
Are you guys planning on doing a test on the 2020 Callaway Chrome and Taylormade TP5 golf balls?
Always nice to beat Mr. Thumbs down to a fresh TXG gem. Maybe the Ogre is asleep under his bridge today. Gamed the 2018 BX last year after testing many balls. Looks like there might be a little more in the tank for BX in 2020. Would like to see a top ball showdown between Titleist, Bridgestone, TaylorMade with "The BloisBot"
You guys should test the new Tour B RXS. That ball performs better than the XS. I have a 115 Swing speed and somehow hit the RXS farther and straighter.
The RXS is better off the irons and chips and putts fantastic. Bridgestone says i should be hitting the XS. However the RXS performs better.
I only piece of equipment that Tiger plays which could overlap into my game is maybe this ball :)
Ian, I know from a past video you used an STI mat comparing indoor vs outdoor numbers. Would you mind sharing what setup you guys have there with the larger area of synthetic turf and strip of hitting area? Thanks!
I wonder if the feel and response on a putter is different between them...great vid boyz
The XS is noticeably softer than the X. I play the X because it’s suits my overall game better, but I actually like the softer feel of the XS on the putter.
Wouldn’t you want to go with the ball that spins more with low irons/wedges and less with driver? The BXS had more overall distance with less ball speed. Or does the extra driver spin help hit more fairways?
The robot you use for testing is bloody life like !!
And super long... Jeeze, I feel short after watching him hit it....
Question: I’ve heard it said that Tiger prefers golf balls with more spin because he likes to work the ball. That seems counter intuitive to the notion that spin creates stability in flight. Are both correct?
makes it easier for him to hit high spinning shots around the greens, wouldn't help him curve the golf ball
Great vid as always! /🇸🇪
Please test the Inesis Tour 900 golf ball!
I work for Bridgestone but not in the golf ball part. In our company store they charge us more for the golf balls then I could buy at any retail store.
Forget Iron Byron............ Iron Matty. Incredible consistency. Wow👍🏻
Just out of curiosity how come you guys don’t test shorter shots say 50-75 yards? I’d really be interested to see the difference there.
Love the 2020 tour b xs, do go to the tour b rxs as a provisional though as it vomes in yellow, always swap back yo the tour b xs ASAP though
I’d like to know what player fits what ball. Are they that close it doesn’t matter? Anyway thanks fellas!
Weren't these the company that stopped supplying Bridgestone balls to the UK a year or so back? I had to switch to another m/for, and now they would like us back eh?
Swing and game are looking good Matt
Just tested the BXS last weekend in the UK (London Golf Club), they did perform quite well. So curious what you guys come up with review wise;
Im confused by the reviews I have seen and even the packaging, says theyre for 105 MPH club head speed and above, I am noew to golf so don't think I will be any where near that yet I found one (BXS) and hit really well, far and straight.
