Product Description
The Bridgestone E12 Soft was three piece golf ball designed for players with driver swing speeds below 105 mph.
A key feature was its "Active Acceleration Mantle," a high-performance polymer that increased thrust and initial ball velocity, allowing for a softer core. The ball offered a combination of distance, soft feel, and reduced sidespin for straighter ball flight. This specific model was introduced in 2019 but has since been replaced by newer versions in the e12 lineup.
Key features
- Target player: Ideal for golfers with a lower swing speed (less than 105 mph) who want to maximize distance.
- Construction: A three-piece construction that includes a core, the "Active Acceleration Mantle" layer, and a Surlyn cover.
- Active Acceleration Mantle: This layer was made of a high-performance polymer that increased thrust and initial velocity off the clubface. It also allowed Bridgestone to soften the core for greater forgiveness and enhanced feel.
- Delta Wing Dimple Pattern: This feature on the Surlyn cover was designed to reduce drag and optimize aerodynamics for a more stable and straighter ball flight.
- Feel and spin: Provided a noticeably soft feel, particularly around the greens, though reviews noted that its greenside spin was not on par with a Tour-level urethane ball.
