Bridgestone e6 Soft Performance Notes

Golfers looking for the very best blend of distance, accuracy, and value need not look further than Bridgestone e6 Soft. In our driver test, e6 Soft displayed low spin and high launch, maximizing the modest mid-90s club head speed to churn out overall distance in the top 20% of the 43-balls we tested in 2026. 

Adding to the appeal is e6 Soft's ability to resist sidespin. Skytrak ST Max measured just 21 RPM of sidespin with driver and 103 RPM of sidespin with 7-iron. Those impressive results helped e6 Soft tie with two other balls (Bridgestone e12 Straight and Vice Pro) for the best accuracy score of our 2026 test.

And at just $23 a dozen, it's one of the best value golf balls of 2026.
