Well, ya see. Many years ago, when I was just starting my personal golf journey, I only played Slazengers because that’s what Goldfinger played. I was never any good at golf, but I kept at it with my Slazengers… because that’s what Goldfinger played.
Well, then Slazenger stopped making golf balls* so I switched to Titleist, but i still sucked at golf.
I wanted to get better. I tried to get better. I also wanted to ditch my cursed Titleists. Something about the name irked me, like someone decided to add a ‘T’ to the word elitist, and that kind of pretentious attitude about golf has always been something I’ve tried to fight against.
Then out of nowhere, a local singer/songwriter reveals to me that he’s been playing Bridgestone and loves them. Bridgestone eh? Bridgestone is cool. They’re Japanese** and I know them from their tires.
Treads on a tire, dimples on a golf ball 🤔? Who knows? Maybe there’s something there.
So I go to the local Dick’s Sporting Goods (now closed), and look at the Bridgestone balls. The RXS is promoted for better green-side spin, soft feel, AND it is specifically for average and slower swing speeds (which I have!). I buy them. I play them. Things are going well.
Then one of the Pin High Lies guys sees I’m playing The RXSs and he says to me “Ah you’re playing the Tiger ball”. I thought that was pretty cool. I didn’t know that. So anyway, I just keep buying them even though they’re pretty expensive. How’s that for a review?
* Pin High Lies was unable to independently verify this fact as many online outlets still apparently sell Goldfinger’s celebrated sphere.
** Pin High Lies was also unable to independently verify this or any other facts espoused by Creg the Sound Guy in his review.
Neither Pin High Lies nor Creg The Sound Guy are being paid for their endorsement of Bridgestone Golf.
EDIT: We do have an Amazon link in there now, though 🙂
Our local dick’s store closed down, too.
Sorry about your Dick’s, Mike F.
Swing Easy, brother!
