The Bridgestone e12 golf ball is a mid-priced, three-piece ball designed to deliver straighter shots and good distance with a soft feel. It features 326 Contact Force dimples that increase surface contact with the clubface for better energy transfer and faster ball speeds. The ball offers a lower peak height compared to premium balls like Pro V1, helping add a few extra yards off the tee. While it doesn’t spin as much on wedge shots and greenside as tour-level balls, it provides decent control and a soft feel around the greens for its price range. The e12 is ideal for golfers seeking a balance of distance, straighter flight, and a softer feel without premium ball price tags
Bridgestone e12 series includes three models: e12 Straight, e12 Speed, and e12 HiLaunch, each designed for different player needs and preferences.
e12 Straight:
•Designed to reduce side spin for straighter, more controlled drives.
•Low compression core and spin-reducing mantle layer.
•Best for players struggling with hooks and slices.
•Feels softer than e12 Speed but firmer than HiLaunch.
e12 Speed:
•Built for distance with a faster, lower-launching flight and penetrating trajectory.
•Firmest compression of the three models.
•Offers balanced performance between distance and feel.
e12 HiLaunch:
•Softest feel with the lowest compression.
•Designed to launch higher and carry farther.
•Generates excellent spin with wedges and good stopping power.
•May have less feedback on the putter face.
All models share Bridgestone’s Contact Force dimple pattern for enhanced energy transfer, ball speed, and straighter flights. Bridgestone e12 balls are three-piece constructions with polymer covers, positioned as mid-priced options compared to premium balls like Tour B or Pro V1.
Compared to higher-end balls, e12 offers good distance and control but slightly less spin and softer feel around the greens.
