I had a Bridgestone ball fitting a couple of days ago and I really learnt something. Basically, the faster you swing speed, the more these tour balls like the Penta are for you. Most of us swing at less than 100mph so a Penta is never gonna compress enough to get anywhere near the core. That means the ball will start to roll across the clubface and give you a that dreaded hook or slice. I would recommend a Bridgestone B330 RXS or a Srixon AD333 for the slower swing speed. You'll be straighter of the tee and you'll save $10 The Penta is a stunning ball but it’s not for everyone. I had a Bridgestone ball fitting a couple of days ago and I really learnt something.

I've little respect for golf equipment manufacturers. They wan't to charge $43 a dozen, but can't invest in R&D to really innovate. Although I do say the technology used in the R9 was not only innovative but clever. Simply by misaligning the shaft's axis to the hosel they were able to create a multitude of lofts and face angle. That was truly innovating and we ought to recognize them for this truly simply solution. The Penta not so innovative, lets not reward them by buying this ball.
