A Fitting Story || A BRIDGESTONE GOLF ORIGINAL SERIES (2024)

FAQs

Did Tiger Woods use Bridgestone balls? ›

Tiger Woods has faithfully trusted Bridgestone golf balls in his game for nearly a quarter of a century. His 2000 season is one of the greatest seasons in all of golf's history, which is also the first year he adopted Nike's Bridgestone-manufactured ball into his game.

Review: Maxfli Tour golf ball as used by Lexi Thompson.

Since then, Bridgestone Golf has manufactured golf balls and accessories for everyone from PGA tour pros to weekend warriors teeing up with their buddies. Bridgestone Golf also serves as the premium lifestyle link to the Bridgestone Tire brand.

Again, very similar launch conditions between the two golf balls. For the test group, Titleist Pro V1 flew just marginally faster and further with the 6 iron. On average Kirkland Signature did launch and fly higher than the Pro V1.

TaylorMade TP5x golf ball

A serious competitor to the Pro V1 but 25% cheaper, the TaylorMade TP5x is one of the best premium golf balls available. These 5 piece golf balls are cheaper than the Titleist Pro V1, but they feel good, fly well and are a pleasure to play with.

2023 TITLEIST PRO V1

For a player who seems to have all the shots, Titleist's three-layer Pro V1 golf ball serves Scottie well. It maximises Scottie's distance off the tee via its low-spinning distance while maintaining control and spin in his iron game.

In 2010, Woods played Nike's Tour ONE ball, and each of his were marked “TIGER.”

CALLAWAY CHROME TOUR X BALLS

Jon Rahm plays the new Chrome Tour X golf ball, which is the highest spinning model in the 2024 Chrome range. With a compression of 98 - identical to the previous Chrome Soft X ball Rahm played - the Chrome Tour X offers a firm feel off the club face.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn't the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

What Ball Does Phil Mickelson Use? Mickelson plays the Callaway Chrome Soft X Triple Track, a ball which features a multi-coloured alignment aid. The Callaway Chrome Soft has been joined by the Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X in 2024, so it will be interesting to see if Mickelson makes the switch any time soon.

What ball does Justin Thomas use? ›

For years, Thomas used Titleist's 2013 Pro V1x golf ball, then switched between the Pro V1 Star and Pro V1x golf balls in 2019. He eventually landed on the 2021 Pro V1x model, which he switched to before winning that year's PLAYERS Championship.

Michelin has been in the tyre manufacturing industry for 125 years and produces nothing but top-quality tyres. Though it comes second to Bridgestone in the tyre industry, it makes sure to give tough competition to its rival.

The Ishibashi family owns Bridgestone.

The Japanese multinational automotive and truck parts manufacturer was founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi. The history of Bridgestone in America goes back to two separate companies that merged to form Bridgestone Tire Company.

The Bridgestone tyres are primarily produced in the headquarters factory in Japan. But after a few years, the firm began to produce tyres in other countries including the United States, Belgium, Australia, Brazil, China, etc.

In conclusion, both the Titleist 2023 Pro V1 and the Callaway 2022 Chrome Soft Golf Balls are excellent choices for golfers. They both offer excellent distance, control, and feel, making them ideal for players who want to improve their game. However, they cater to different types of players.

For the player who is looking for a low-flying, low-spinning golf ball with very soft feel and excellent greenside control.

Bryson DeChambeau will tee it up in the Open Championship using Bridgestone's Tour B X ball at the Old Course at St. Andrews, but he will not be doing so as one of the company's staff players.

Aside from feel and greenside spin, there is a big difference in launch and flight going into the scoring irons. With the Pro V1, you get a mid-flight with low spin. With the AVX you'll find a more penetrating flight with lower spin and this is reflected in the driver too.
