Bridgestone e12 Straight Performance Notes
The Bridgestone e12 Straight lives up to its name. It's easily one of the most accurate golf balls we've tested in 2026, and turned on solid performances for distance and wedge control. While stopping power proved to be a weakness, many players shopping in this category expect that tradeoff.
The e12 Straight capitalized on low driver spin coupled with mid-launch to turn in impressive distance. High launch in our wedge test helped it overcome lower wegde spin to provide wedge control around the greens.
