About The Testing Opportunity
MyGolfSpy Forum staff selected 30 members to participate in a detailed testing of Bridgestone’s new Mindset golf ball with the goal of providing comprehensive feedback on their experiences. The evaluation focused on key aspects from data collected from their Shot Scope devices. (Shot Scope is the official on-course data partner of MyGolfSpy.)
Some of these data points were driving performance, fairway accuracy, greens in regulation and putting efficiency. Subjective feedback, such as overall satisfaction compared to their usual golf balls, was also solicited.
Selected testers went through the ball fitting guide on Bridgestone’s website to make sure they got the proper golf ball for their game. In addition, prior to receiving the Bridgestone Mindset golf balls, testers filled out a survey collecting baseline data. All testers had a minimum of 10 rounds collected on their Shot Scope accounts. Over the course of testing, the members played in tournaments, casual rounds and collected launch monitor data. All of this was used to compare and provide an overview on how their games changed using the Bridgestone Mindset golf balls—for better or worse.
The Bridgestone Mindset Golf Ball
Mindset golf balls are a new addition to the Bridgestone Tour B lineup as a visual aid to help golfers in their shot preparation. The Mindset design consists of three colors and shapes that represent different stages in a simple three-stage process.
The outermost red circle and arrow are meant for alignment and identifying the target.
