    The Bridgestone Laddie X is a ball designed to generate maximum distance off the driver, having low spin, a high launch trajectory and a penetrating flight, combined with Bridgestone's proprietary 372 wind cheating dimple design. The ball features an interesting melange of two state of the art technologies for achieving a soft feel and great control levels from tee to green: the Touch N' Control Ionomer coating and the Enhanced Muscle Fiber Core. This pompous-sounding core design is actually highly efficient, providing explosive distance and unparalleled soft feel, due to its construction which uses a unique combo of rubber compounds, molded together for optimizing feel and distance.

    To put it simply, the Bridgestone Laddie X feels like butter, and it's great for golf players with low to moderate swing speeds, but it will suit golfers of all skill levels. The two-piece built of the Bridgestone Laddie X will help you when it comes to longer shots due to the ball's higher velocity and low spin. Bottom line, this is an all rounder, a recreational golf ball, focused at helping lower speed/swing higher-handicap players, a soft ball that prides on its distance and impossible to beat for the price.
