I have been using Bridgestone for quite some time now and the company
has done pretty well with the E7 golf balls. The E7 is hyped as a
trajectory flattening ball for those hitting the ball too high! There
is no doubt that the ball has lived up to the hype it received. I tried
the E7s in different situations and I am sharing my opinion with you
here!
With drivers, the ball has done pretty well. On several occasions I had hit the ball very high but the ball did well. Pulling out an E7 from the bag, one can quickly gain some 20-yards when on a flatter trajectory. Other balls can pick up a trajectory that can be compared to one of the space shuttles shooting off from NASA. Thus in this case, the E7 grabs a 4 star rating from me. The feel of the ball is not really good and is just mediocre because of Surlyn cover. Since the ball has been designed for modified up as well as down trajectory, working with the ball may not be as easy as one thinks!
As far as my fairway metals are concerned, they seem to like the Bridgestone E7 Golf Balls. Flatter trajectory did not fare well with 13* Strong 3 Wood but was fairly fine with 15*. When it is about stinger shots with the long irons, they love the E7s but, I had to count on run and bump variety. The cover will not offer the necessary backspin when you hit the ball to fly right into greens. The hybrids I have seem to be in absolute love with the flat trajectory. A rating of 3 ?is what the Bridgestone E7 Golf Ball deserves with fairway metals, hybrids and long irons.
For the mid-cappers, the ball will help in lengthening the mid-irons. Try out the ball with mid-irons during winter golf and your wrists and elbows will appreciate the flight and you can save some massive expense of retooling! A 4-star rating is what I give to E7 with mid-irons.
An incredible and lovely straight line is held by the Bridgestone E7 Golf Ball when you play with short irons/wedges. With a tad-flat trajectory, the Surlyn cover of the ball prevents getting extra spin off of the hooded chips flying low from deep and rough greenside. E7 earns a 3-star rating this time.
Hit the ball with a flatstick putter and you can get a CLICK that is distinct and still you will never get the clingy feeling. The Bridgestone E7 Golf Ball will hold a very impressive line and thus earns a 4-star rating with flatsticks.
