Bridgestone is one of the biggest players in the golf equipment market. While it might not quite have the same name recognition as brands such as Titleist, TaylorMade, and Callaway – at least, not in the United States – Bridgestone has been making quality products for years. The company supplies the golf market with both clubs and balls, and their gear has been used by some of the top players in the game. Speaking of top players, Tiger Woods has switched to Bridgestone golf balls after Nike chose to exit the golf equipment business. It is hard to earn a bigger endorsement than one of the all-time greats choosing to use your golf ball.

Of course, the fact that Tiger Woods is using Bridgestone golf balls says something about their quality and performance, but it doesn’t relate much to your game. Tiger Woods is a legend in the sport, and you are likely a weekend warrior who may hope to break 80 (or 90) in a given round. Fortunately, Bridgestone makes golf balls for more than just the world’s best professionals. They offer a complete line of golf balls, so there is certain to be something available to suit your needs.

In this article, we are going to take a look at the line of Bridgestone golf balls. We will talk about some of the specific models they offer, as well as how you can pick out the right ball for your game. Something we need to state right off the bat is that you shouldn’t simply buy the most expensive ball on the shelves, assuming that it will be the best. While pro-level golf balls certainly come with a premium price tag, they aren’t necessarily the right choice for all golfers. In fact, you could harm your game by going with a premium ball if you don’t have the skills to use it properly. Instead of buying the most expensive ball you can find, you should be buying the ball which closely matches your abilities (and limitations) on the course.

If at all possible, it is best to stick with a particular golf ball model for many years – or at least for a full season. You are going to get more and more comfortable with your golf ball as each round goes by, so switching frequently would be doing your game a significant disservice. Once you find the golf ball that seems to be right for you – whether it is a Bridgestone ball or a ball made by another manufacturer – you will want to stick with it for as long as possible. Things like distance and ball flight can change from ball to ball, and there is no need to introduce extra variables into your game if they can be avoided. Take some time to pick a ball and then trust that ball as long as it remains available.
