Summary: Ordered a dozen of these from lostgolfballs.com on recommendation from a friend and i'm so glad he recommended it. Went and played my home course today and my drives were exploding off the clubhead, giving me a good 15 yards more distance than what i'm used to. I've read that these have players with faster swing speeds in mind, and i fit that category so i can't make recommendations to everyone, but for me, it played well. I got good spin off my wedges; they stuck greens well, gave me all i could ask for. I still prefer the Ben Hogan Apex Tours but for now, this is easier to find, and a good way to go

Summary: This is in response to the gentleman below who was complaining about loss of distance with this ball.
The B330 has been designed for the fastest swings, typically 110 or even 115mph and more. There's no way that this ball will give optimal performance if, like most, one's swing is in the 90-100 mph range. If this the case, better try the B330S or even the new B330RX.

Summary: I was given a dozen for my birthday. I was looking for a Titleist replacement. I have played the ball for a month and have found it less responsive than expected. Supposedly this ball is a tour ball like the Pro V1. It feels harder and does not stop as well as the Pro V1 or even the NXT Tour I have been using. The cover also scuffs easily.
I will keep looking for a Titlesis replacement or stay with the NXT Tour.

Summary: Took the Bridgestone challenge at the Stanford St. Jude tournament this year. They had a booth set up, so I took a few swings. I used their driver, which was nowhere near the same setup as my own, and hit in front of about 50 people watching, so needless to say the test conditions weren't the best. They recommended this ball, so I got on ebay and got some to try. Typically my distance off the tee is 270 to 300, regardless of the ball. I can usually stop any kind of ball on my approaches, so how did I let myself get talked into a spin ball? Anyway, off the tee I was giving up at least 20 yards with this ball, when I am usually the long hitter of the group. My biggest bash off the tee is now only around 260, which is not acceptable for me. These balls peel easily. If I hit a really crisp short iron shot I could expect to mark the ball. They do check up very nice and are a joy around the green, and the putt very well. If distance is vital to your ego or scorecard, you may try another ball. If you can give up a few dollars and a few yards off the tee, and need some help getting your ball to stop, pick up a few and try them out.
Customer Service: Can't say much for the customer service, but the guy that fitted me at the booth wasn't that friendly.

Summary: Bought a sleeve of these at Golfsmith for 10.50. My game is improving so I thought I'd see what a premium ball was like. I play a fade and was a little worried the greater spin on a tour ball would hurt my game. WOW was I wrong. My drives were very straight. This ball has great length, maybe not the longest of all the balls I've tried, but very respectable. What made a real difference was the iron play with this ball. Beautiful ball flight, never strayed from the pin..and then just stuck. (no, it wasn't wet). I shot a 77, I'm usually in the mid to high 80's. The ball held up well, I played the same ball all 18 holes and it was very used looking, but, hey, I'm not used to to even having the same ball for 18 holes so what would I know. I think it's a winner. I was softer than the NIke Plat.and the TaylorMade TP Black. I reviewed the TP Black as well (Greeeaat Ball).
