Bridgestone e6 Golf Balls Design, Specs & Features

The e6 balls a two-piece design with a thin Surlyn cover and a large soft core that delivers impressive distance and spin levels for a ball of this design.

The e6 is designed for amateur golfers or those with moderate to slower swing speeds to get decent distance out of these balls.

The core is the fastest part of the ball, which is why this ball performs excellent for players with slower swing speeds while the softer cover benefits your short game.

The ball is around 50 compression, making it similar to the likes of the Srixon Soft Feel and the Titleist Tour Soft balls, and has the Bridgestone Dual Dimple Technology as part of the design.

What Bridgestone says about the e6 Golf Balls:

“Introducing the new e6 golf ball – the ultimate combination of soft feel and long distance. The e6 features a softer and larger core for faster compression, resulting in longer distance off the tee.

“Our seamless cover technology optimizes spin and feel for a truly unparalleled golfing experience. Upgrade your game with the e6 golf ball.

“The e6 consumer likes the ball as it is, but we felt it could use a little refresh. We gave it a slightly softer cover and slightly softer core.

Some of that was an extension of the sound testing we were doing. We were trying to eliminate some of the clickiness and deliver on a softer sound to produce a better sensation at impact.

“That (the gradational core) was what allowed us to make it softer but not lose any speed. We’re trying to get as much as we can out of a two-piece construction at an entry-level price point.”
