Are you sure you aren't confusing with the e5?  The e6 is supposed to be one of Bridgestone's lowest spin balls off the driver.  The e5 has a urethane cover and will have more spin and short game control.

The salesman at Ed Watts shoved these into my arms... They feel good around the green, I hit it hit it with my sw from maybe 20-30 yards the other day and it had a high traj. but the one thing I noticed the most was the softness on that shot, maybe it was a once in a lifetime shot though... They say it doesn't have that much spin off of the driver but I beg to differ. Maybe its just my inconsistent driving game though. Not helped with the Fade/Slice... 4/5.

I've played the e-6+ and it does reduce driver sidespin.  Also comes off the putter real well (for me).  But I haven't played the e-6 that is out now replacing the e-6+.

Sorry. This spins crazy for me.  The ProV1x is supposed to be low spin too but I get a lot of Driver spin with it as well.
B330 is the only ball I truly feel comfortable with.

B330 fits me alot better. These just feel flimsy.

ugh the V1x is a very high spin golf, even higher spin than the V1. pretty sure it's top 5 maybe even top 3 @ max RPM

Surprisingly, as they claim, the ball does seem to go straighter off the face. I personally like them

so did these replace the e6? or the other way around? or are they both supposed to coexist in the market?

Felt like hitting a rock.  Big thumbs down for the E6, especially considering the price.

Hard, really?  I was playing around with the e6 at a short game practice faclity and the ball came off my face really soft.  In fact, it almost felt like I was hitting one of those 25 cent rubber "bouncy balls" that kids play with.

According to Bridgestone, the e6 is the softest multi-layer ball on the market right now.

I believe its the other way around
the e6+ is a few years old now

Here is an old thread that discusses the same question about e6 vs. e6+:

A good, but not exceptional, mid priced ball.

This is my go to ball for the winter months here in the Northwest. Ball carries through the thick marine air very well.
