Why Amateur Golfers Should Use Bridgestone Golf Balls

Studies from over 50,000 Ball-Fittings has followed to the creation of the brand new B330-RX and B330-RXS Balls.
Over the short time, Bridgestone has successfully trained golfers on how to pick a ball based on their swing features - indicating solid results through their modern ball-fitting program.

Having performed more than 50,000 amateur ball-fittings, Bridgestone Golf helped countless golfers find out the worth of matching the right ball to every player’s game. After gathering and exploring swing data from a cross section of golf consumers, Bridgestone discovered a need for a ball that offered tour-level performance around the greens, yet was engineered to optimize distance off the tee for a fair swing speed. Therefore the B330-RX was born and an complete new category was made - Tour Performance Balls for Amateur Swing Speeds. The B330-RX was one of the most effective golf ball introductions in the history of the game.

In 2010 Bridgestone will expand that offering with the B330 RX and the B330 RXS creating the first TOUR performance SERIES created for amateur swing speeds.
The Tour B330 RX feature a 7% softer core with a reformulated mantle that further cut down excess spin, resulting in straighter, moreprecise shots. With its Very SOFT gradational compression core, the ball is clearly easily condensed for longer distance and great feel. The new core united with B330-RX's new Ionomer Inner Cover provides an boost in velocity and decrease in sidespin with the driver and long irons. As was the case with its award winning predecessor, the new B330 RX not only proposes unparalleled distance performance, but the 330 Seamless Dimple-design urethane cover also make sure Tour caliber greenside spin and control, with a steady trajectory players can count on.

Rounding out the TOUR performance SERIES made for amateur swing speeds is the new 3-piece, urethane B330 RXS– giving Bridgestone the softest multi-layer urethane series on the market. The new B330 RXS is appropriate for moderate-swing speed players – less than 105 mph - who demand a slightly softer feel and further spin control. The B330 RXS features a SOFT urethane cover for higher spin control and enhanced feel on and around the greens. In addition, the slightly softer core and mantle formulation help to cause reduced spin off the tee for great distance performance.

At the 2009 PGA Merchandise Fair in Orlando, Florida, the International Network of Golf gave Bridgestone Golf with the ING Industry Honors Award for the Product Ingenuity - Market Leaders category, recognizing the Tour B330-RX as the most innovative golf product of 2008. The ballhas progressed on considerably since that time.

Why Wear Galvin Green? Part 4

Galvin Green is a foremost producer\maker of Golf garments. They offer a large variety of garments for all weather elements. The clothing selection is highly fashionable but at the same time highly practical in that it is specifically designed to function in unison with the golf swing.

Galvin Green's idea is a multi-layer concept whereby you can mix and match the items of clothing to cover all the weather can throw at you, whether it be warm, cold, windy or wet.

To get the most out of your golf garments, and your game, it is important to dress right - from the inside out. The key to comfort is layering, breathability and moisture transportation. Since the different layers work intimately together, thermoregulation is all about using the right materials in the right mix. This is what the Multi-Layer Concept is all about.

In this Paper I'll be dealing with the Galvin Green range that keeps you cool in warm conditions.

The Cool Layer
In the warmest of weather conditions, there is only one way to keep cool on the golf course: that’s by staying dry. The cool, comfortable VENTIL8 collection by Galvin Green features unique breathability and moisture-transportation properties. The garments have the ability to move moisture away from the body surface by using specially designed fabrics and moisture-wicking techniques. VENTIL8 textile fibres have been designed to disperse perspiration and moisture over a larger area, allowing it to evaporate more rapidly. The soft, comfortable VENTIL8 golf shirts are designed for maximum freedom of swing. Anti-bacterial technology prevents body odours and keeps the shirts fresh throughout their lifetimes. They are easy to launder and consistently retain their shape, size and “new” feel, wash after wash.

The VENTIL8 series includes of the following items:
- Maddox Shirt
- Marc Shirt
- Miller Shirt
- Milos Shirt
- Mitch Shirt

The VENTIL8 selection has the following features:
- The greatest level of breathability.
- Excellent moisture-transportation properties keep the body dry and cool.
- Light, soft and comfortable garment, specially developed for golfers.
- Permanent anti-bacterial technology keeps the garments fresh.
- Easy to wash and maintain, just regular machine wash.

Technical Points about VENTIL8 Technology
The VENTIL8 selection makes use of carefully selected materials with unique properties. A VENTIL8 shirt transports moisture and excess heat away twice as quickly as a conventional polyester golf shirt. This is made possible by an advanced technology whereby the textile fibres are designed to disperse perspiration and moisture over a larger area, allowing moisture to evaporate considerably more rapidly.
