 It’s
the customized performance, driven by the latest in urethane and core
technology, that makes the new e5 and e6 golf balls the ones to watch.
Features: The e5 is designed for golfers who want more height and
distance by generating the optimal spin rate for maximum lift and
carry. The e6, on the other hand, is designed for players who want less
sidespin.
Advantages: The e5 has a 432 Seamless Double Dimple design for quick
lift, while the e6 has only 330 dimples for less spin and a boring
trajectory.
Benefits: Mid- to high-handicappers who crave distance will like the
e5, and better players who want minimal sidespin are in for a treat
with the e6.
What We Like: High performance, great value.

 These two Tour-validated golf balls from Bridgestone just got better.
Features: The thin urethane cover, ionomer mid-layer and Speed Elasticity core of the B330 and B330-S combine to produce both distance and feel.
Advantages: The 2007 version of both golf balls is new and improved. Both balls are more durable, and both outperform their predecessors as far as distance is concerned. The B330 is a bit more playable around the greens and feels softer than before, and the B330-S is longer than the previous model.
Benefits: The B330 is for fast swingers; the B330-S is great for everyone else!
What We Like: Improved durability is a plus and it seems both balls cut through the wind like a warm knife in soft butter. Good stuff!

Features: The HX Hot is equipped with not only a hexagonal dimple pattern for improved distance, but also a polymer mid-layer to ensure optimal spin with the big stick and around the putting surface.
Advantages: The HEX dimple pattern works wonders for splitting the wind, and the Ionomer cover helps to minimize excessive spin with the driver for the utmost in both carry and roll.
Benefits: Moderate to fast swingers who get a kick out of ripping it past the rest of their group.

(877) ELY-BALL | $39/doz.
| Tour: | | | Tour 56: | |
 Callaway’s premium golf ball model gets significant improvements.
Features: The hexagonal aerodynamics of the HX Tour produces a Tour-desired trajectory, and the deeper sub-hex dimples effectively reduce drag for a very consistent, penetrating ballflight. The softer, higher-spinning HX Tour 56 is the perfect combination of feel and distance.
Advantages: The improvements made on the cover durability are just what this ball needed to catapult Callaway into the premium ball stratosphere.
Benefits: While both versions of the HX Tour are suited for fast swingers, the HX Tour 56 is a solid option for average swing speeds as well.
