The designer of the Bridgestone xFIXx ball most likely had recreational golfers in mind. One golfer’s
interpretation was that the ball is perfect for someone who plays now and then and is approximately
around a handicap of 18.
So it may not be the best ball for a low handicap golfer that gets out on the
course 100+ times every year. Then again, just maybe it is. Read on to find out why.
Key Features of the Bridgestone xFIXx Ball
The core of this ball is one of the low compression gradational types. What that means is that
the core differs in density from center to edge. Because of the low compression, it assists golfers
that have slower swing speeds and lower distance due to the fact that the ball compresses
easier than others. This core additionally helps produce less side spin but a higher launch angle;
and that is good news in the category of accuracy.
Go ahead; judge a ball by its cover. This ball exclusively utilizes a newly made Lonomer for its
cover. The cover is softer than your average ball which helps a player increase in control and
the desired spin at the same time, in a shorter game. The cover differs from your average ball
additionally in that it has fewer dimples on its outer surface. 330 to be exact. Some golf balls
even have a detectable seam. Bridgestone utilizes seamless technology for their golf balls. We’re
talking accuracy here; no one wants a seam in the way of an accurately hit ball?
What’s Good About THis Bridestone Golf Ball
Some reviewers of this ball said that, after using it, they realize how under rated it actually is.
They walked in with relatively low expectations thinking that it would be a hacker’s ball with low
performance. The reviewers, by the end of a round of golf, were exceedingly pleased and their opinions
had done a full 360 degree turnabout.
They explained that the ball felt fantastic on full compression
shots and full swings. Some of the golfers with lower swing speeds felt that the fact that even they could
compress the ball adequately with a driver; but that the bonus was that they also had great distance and
control when using their irons.
Holding it in their hand they noticed that it had a different feel than other golf balls considered high
performance. They said that it felt a little ‘harder’, despite its softer cover. But when it all came down to
it, they were ecstatic about the great control and spin they were able to achieve on short iron shots and
wedge shots. One golfer was able to stop the ball extremely well inside of 150 yards.
What Golfers Didn’t Like About xFIXx
The only problem anyone ran into was that they noticed some little plastic shavings on the cover after
using square grooved clubs. By picking up the ball before that all important putt and brushing the shreds
off of the ball cover, they assured themselves of a true roll that would not be affected by the rough
surface with the shavings sticking up. These golfers agree, however, that it was a small price to pay for
the control and accuracy that they experienced.
In A Nutshell – The Bridestone xFIXx
For the cost of approximately $20, the Bridgestone xFIXx is a decent ball. Whether you’re an average
golfer or one who utilizes higher handicaps, this golf ball promises to deliver good performance and
can quite possibly be a definite factor in your ability to achieve lower scores. Even golfers who
consider themselves 10 handicaps or lower will enjoy this ball.
