Bridgestone e5 golf balls

While not every golf ball will suit every golfer, there is one ball that seems to work for most golfers – the award winning e5 ball by Bridgestone.

This the only 2-piece urethane cover golf ball on the market, and it’s unique selling proposition is its exceptional construction, cover material and short-game spin attributes.

The e5’s new Dual Dimple Technology cover provides even longer distance off the tee, while maintaining its same great feel and spin greenside. The e5 has comparable spin to several other leading premium balls, including the Pro V1.

Our testing group loved playing this ball and were really impressed that they could get comparable spin control and performance for about $20 less per dozen than the best-selling ball in golf.

The FJ ICON golf shoe combines both full grain and exquisite calfskin leathers, supported by a performance infused outsole. The luxurious calfskin offers unparalleled beauty, fit and resistance to stretching, while the premium full grain leather offers outstanding waterproof comfort, breathability and durability. Memory Foam located in the tongue and around the collar provides a custom fit to enhance comfort. Soft microfiber is strategically placed in the heel to ensure an optimal slip resistant fit.

The leather covered dual density PU fitbed creates an underfoot base that mimics the natural shape of your foot, helping to provide a quality fit and cushioned support. Leather linings provide superior comfort, slip resistance and in-shoe breathability, while the genuine leather bond welt provides beautiful visual detailing along the top edge of the midsole.

Varying densities of TPU (thermoplastic urethane) are strategically placed throughout the outsole for stability, flexibility and walking comfort. Dual OptiFlex Zones offer forefoot flexibility and the torque bar in the shank area of the outsole increases midfoot support. A pre-molded ABS insole board is extremely flexible in the forefoot for walking comfort and extra firm in the heel for extra platform stability.

These custom made shoes can be ordered in a variety of colors and styles. The best attribute is that if your one foot requires a larger size than the other foot, you can order the shoe this way. Also, another great customization is the ability to have your name, initials or logo placed on the shoe!
