- What I Like About The Bridgestone E6
- What I Dislike About The Bridgestone E6
Tthese distance golf balls are softer and more forgiving than their peers. I appreciated the highly compressible Gradational Core, which enhanced energy transfer and ball speed while lowering spin to optimize my carry distance. While I didn’t care much for the clicky acoustics or lack of greenside spin, it’s an entry-level distance ball that punche...
Two-Piece Ball
The Bridgestone e6 is a 2-piece distance ballcomprising a Gradational Compression core and a durable Surlyn cover. Its simple design is built for golfers seeking minimal long-game spin, accelerated velocity, and a mid-to-high launch. In my experience, the e6 delivered impressive distance off the tee and on approach but struggled to increase my greenside spin.
Gradational Compression Core
Possibly, my favorite feature of the e6 was the responsiveness of the Gradational Compression Core. I found it easy to compress especially on high-impact strikes, leading to reduced spin, rapid speed, and a mid-to-high launch. I feel slow-swing speed golfers, like seniors, will welcome the added rebound delivered at impact, thanks to the Gradational Compression Core. Despite your slow swing speed, you’ll manage to consistently launch the ball and achieve adequate long-game carry and total dis...
Surlyn Cover
Bridgestone engineers opted for durable Surlyn material, which did wonders for my spin control on long shots. Its firmer nature controlled revolutions and preserved ball pace to promote consistent contact with the golf ball and maximum rebound off the club face. Spin and speed assistance aside, I found the Surlyn highly durable and able to withstand a pummeling from bunker sand, cart paths, and tree branches. Despite doing my best to beat the cover, it showed few deformations and earned my vo...
Price
I paid $25 for a dozen e12 golf balls, a little over $2 a ball which is half of what I spent on the same quantity of Bridgestone Tour B XS balls 3 months ago. However, it is slightly pricier than other distance balls like the Callaway Warbird, which I tested on the same day as the e6. This lower price point suits budget seekers and high handicappers, who are likely to lose numerous balls during a round. You won’t feel hard done by every time you chunk a shot into the water or slice it out of...
Feel
As far as distance balls go, the e6 delivered a soft feel off the clubface from tee to green. I was also impressed by the compression of the ball when I squeezed it between my hands. For context, it is far from the sensation experienced with a cast urethane cover on a Titleist Pro V1, but its punches above its weight for the price. The feel of the e6 was particularly impressive on wedge shots and off the putter face. I didn’t feel that rock-hard impression I experienced with the Warbird.
Sound
The acoustics were my second worst feature of the e6. Despite efforts to reduce the “clicky” sound from previous iterations, it’s still too “clicky” for my liking. I’ll credit the Bridgestone team for reducing the annoying sound compared to past models. When I first struck the e6 in 2007, it delivered a nasty sound that has drastically improved over the years, but the sound engineers still have work to do.
Affordable
The affordable price tag of the Bridgestone e6 golf balls is among its top assets. It makes it attractive to bargain hunters, beginner golfers, and slow swing speeds seeking extra long game yards.
Low Driver Spin
The low spin qualities of the e6 aided my distance and accuracy off the tee. I produced an average of 2400 rpm driver spin. It’s slightly higher than what I delivered with the Callaway Warbird but lower than my average.
Highly Compressible
One reason for my low driver spin was the easily strikeable Gradational Compression Core. I was able to make sufficient contact between clubface and golf ball, even on mishits. This prompted low spin, accelerated ball velocity, a mid-high launch, and dependable long-game yardage.
Minimal Greenside Spin
Although the Bridgestone e6 felt better off my wedge and putter face than the Callaway Warbird, it still delivered limited greenside spin. This complicated my control around the dancefloor, and I needed to adjust my landing zone to account for added roll.
Clicky Acoustics
Besides the lack of greenside spin, I despised the clicky sound endured on every shot from the tee box to the green. I prefer slightly muted acoustics. However, I must commend Bridgestone on the progress made since the inaugural edition they released in 2006.

May 14, 2021 · Conclusion. For $22/dozen, the Bridgestone e6 is hard to beat for the recreational golfer. While it’s not a high spinning ball around the green, its long, straight performance off the tee will more than make up for that. The 2021 version of the Bridgestone e6 is offered in both standard white and Optic Yellow.
