Bridgestone e12 Splash Golf Balls (2025)
Overview:
The Bridgestone e12 Splash is a new addition to the 2025 e12 lineup, built for players who want straight distance and more consistent performance in wet or muddy conditions. It features a unique water-repellent coating and technology aimed at helping average golfers hit straighter, more controlled shots.
Key Features:
-
Water-Repellent Coating (RPL-X):
Designed to repel water and reduce mud buildup, allowing for more consistent ball flight in damp conditions.
-
Straighter Flight Design:
Based on the “Straight” model of the e12 line, it minimizes sidespin to help reduce hooks and slices.
-
Contact Force Dimples:
Engineered dimple pattern increases surface contact, improving energy transfer and reducing drag.
-
Gradational Compression Core:
Promotes a balance of distance and soft feel by shifting compression levels from the center outward.
-
MindSet Technology:
A visual aid printed on the ball to help golfers with focus and routine during pre-shot preparation.
Performance Highlights:
-
Wet Condition Performance:
The hydrophobic coating helps the ball stay cleaner and fly truer when conditions are wet or muddy.
-
Straight Distance:
Built to reduce curvature off the tee, making it ideal for players who struggle with hooks or slices.
-
Mental Focus Aid:
MindSet graphics support mental clarity and consistency during rounds, especially useful for casual and mid-handicap players.
Who It’s For:
-
Golfers who often play in wet or inconsistent conditions
-
Players looking for straighter ball flight and more forgiveness off the tee
-
Mid- to high-handicap golfers who want more control without sacrificing distance
-
Those who benefit from visual alignment or mental cues during play
Limitations to Consider:
-
May not offer the same greenside spin or soft feel as premium urethane-covered balls
-
Benefits of the water-repellent design may be less noticeable in dry weather
-
Not intended for advanced or tour-level players seeking maximum spin and control
