Bridgestone Golf’s e6 has proven to be the company’s most popular golf ball over the 15 years it’s been in their lineup. While it was initially touted as their answer to helping golfers find a straighter ball flight, they have since expanded some of that technology into the e12 line. The 2023 Bridgestone e6 is all about providing exceptional feel for value-minded golfers while not sacrificing distance.
The 2023 Bridgestone e6 features a new, large gradational core that they are saying provides an incredibly soft feel and sound at impact. In addition, the ball’s advanced dimple technology should provide some forgiveness on off-center shots. Casing this two-piece ball is Bridgestone’s seamless Surlyn cover, which the company says will, “provide a combination of speed, distance, and exceptional durability.”
“We’ve had an incredible run with the e6,” said Elliot Mellow, Golf Ball Marketing Manager, Bridgestone Golf. “It’s the mainstay of the e-Family and Bridgestone’s biggest selling two-piece Surlyn golf ball model to date. The e6 understandably has a lot of fans and the enhanced feel of the new design is sure to please. The added distance and forgiveness on off-center hits are an added bonus.”

They got enough golf ball offerings that it would require a fitting. Good pricing and I’m sure quality will follow.
Great to see a good ball at $25 a dozen
How long did the previous generation run for?
Good pricing and if it’s anything like their other balls good quality as well. It’s like the year (month?) of the golf ball release along with everything else and the options seem to be endless.

In a technical sense, it was a couple of years. But that was available primarily at a single retailer.
Great information Hawk. The e6 has always been a solid performing two-piece surlyn ball. Great to see they are not going over $25 for these balls.
Thanks for the write up. I enjoy reading about the new balls. I have played the E6 in the past. This new generation appears to be a very good surlyn covered ball.
Thanks for the write-up [USER=1193]@Hawk[/USER] ! It sounds like they’ve improved upon this golf ball and their target audience hasn’t changed. Glad to see these at $25 a dz too!
Love the e6. Looking forward to giving this new one a go
e6 was my ball for several years, I don’t think I’ve ever hit a ball that flew straighter. It’s definitely no “tour ball”, but a great performer at its price point.
