Is the 330-RX the longest of the bridgestone line? Is there much of a difference between that and the 330-S model?

I have played both and found the biggest difference is in the spin....B330-S checks up immediately for me while the RX has a little bit of run..... both great balls depending on what u are looking for!!!

The Tour B330 is longer than the 330S and 330Rx. The S is a bit softer and the RX has a softer core that compresses more easily. I get great distance and enough spin for me from the 330.

There is no single longest ball in the Bridgestone family. It all depends on your swingspeed, spin characteristics, launch angle, etc.

The Bridgestone Challenge rolled into town and I tested the B330, B330.S, Pro V1, Pro V1x and my personal favorite the Srixon Z Star X. The B330.S acutally was the lowest spinning off the driver of them all with the B330 second and the Z Star X in third. The B-Stone ball fitting guy said that Bridgestone actually manufactures the B330.S to spin less off the driver than the B330 contrary to what I originally expected. :busted2:

B330S does everything right for me. There's not that much difference for me in distance between the 330 and the 330S but I just like the way the S leaves the club and I make more putts with it for some unknown reason. I had been trying different balls and this one stuck-nothing scientific at all. It just works for me and I have great confidence in it.

B330 and B330-S are both crazy long, but the 330-S is definitely better around the green.

I moved from the E6+ to the 330s - lost a bit of distance from the tee as expected but the 330s does not spin much off the driver at all, at least it doesn't feel like it does.

Plenty of greenside check however with a great soft feel of all clubs

Switched from Pro V1 to 330-S. BIG difference! The 330-S is much better off the tee, irons, wedges, and the putter! Much more durable too, which is a HUGE plus!

x2 on the low driver spin, great green side control and putting. The durability of the 330S makes these balls easy to justify spending $40+ per dozen.

+1 on the durability. Played 36 with one a few weeks back and it was still OK for more. If I didn't have many dozens of Nike One dot Tours I'd be happy to play the 330-S all the time. Then again, there are a lot of good balls around at the moment.

I have played the E5 for a couple years, then switched to B330s. I am out driving my playing partners hitting the pro v1 by 20 yards. I lost a lot of side spin by switching the the B330s, but didn't lose feel around the green.
