Bridgestone b-330rx vs rxs??

[buster]

can't tell the difference???

I'm thick... no doubt.. I hit these two balls today.. played nine holes.. two balls... seemed the s was as long ..or longer off the driver (sometimes?)... and perhaps shorter off the irons... I dunno... anyone test them both?... or better yet, hit them on a trackman?

edit.. I know I put this in the wrong place as well... not sure what I was thinking... thanks for the correction...

I think the "rx-s" has the same cover as the B330-S, and the new RX has the same or similar core as the E7. I think that is the difference between the two.

I've played them both for awhile now. Played as a single and hit two balls a hole for a round. I think the RXS is a much better ball. Softer off the club face, better on the greens, and not noticeably shorter than the old RX. The new RX is longer, but feels like a rock to me.

I played the old RX all last year, several dozen. When the new RX and RXS came out I bought a sleeve of each. For me the 2010 RX was good, longer off the tee than the old RX, better cover durability, spin about the same as the old ball.

I expected the RXS to be shorter, but in actual play it was just as long off the tee and longer with irons, it spins better than the old or new RX, and has better cover durability than the old RX. The RXS is so durable that I've gone 36 holes with the same ball about 6 times, something I could never do with the old RX.

I tried a new RX again today, after playing a couple dozen RXS over the past few months. In comparison to the RXS it feels a little hard off the irons, maybe a little longer with the driver, and slightly less spin with irons, although I backed up a few short irons more than 10 feet on medium-soft greens. I was surprised it spun as much as it did. The cover durability is even better than the RXS, the ball looked virtually and could easily go 36 holes.

I'm sticking with the RXS for the iron feel and extra spin around the greens.
