I have been trying different balls the past couple of months.

I thought that I settled on the Titleist Tour Speed until today...

I had a 2 ball sample pack of the Bridgestone BX and I threw it in the bag figuring that I would try it a hole or 2.

I started crushing this ball off the tee and had zero issues flying it into the green. If anything it was a few yards longer off my irons.

I'm a big guy and still with some decent speed and smash factor, but I am 67.

The box says it's rated for 105 plus SS, which I know I'm not any more. It has to be 90 plus compression right ?

This ball is at least 10 yards longer off the tee for me than the Tour Speed.

Anyone else experience this type result ?

Yes. When I switched from Bstone XS to TP5X. I saw noticeable distance gains.

I went from using the Callaway ERC to these new Mizuno's I just picked up and noticed I was getting a noticable difference on distance and spin around the green..

Is it the ball?..Possibly

A bit of pep in my step over a new product.. also possible..

I've stopped trying to figure out this game and just kinda go with it and play the shots that unfold in front of me..

It’s a great ball. Been gaming the BX since they came out. Hit the B330s before then.

My swing speed is high. Prob in the low 120s.
