Bridgestone
e12 Speed
Two-piece distance ball with Bridgestone's Optimal Flight System.
The Bridgestone e12 Speed is a distance-tier golf ball released in 2025, built with 2-piece construction. It carries a compression of 103, a firm compression built for faster swing speeds (above about 100 mph driver). It is tuned for distance and a straighter ball flight rather than greenside spin. Bridgestone positions it for players chasing ball speed and roll-out who do not need tour-level greenside spin.. MSRP is about $35 per dozen, a step below flagship tour-ball pricing.
Overview
A 2-piece ball from Bridgestone's reworked e12 family, built around the Optimal Flight System and a fast gradational core with MindSet alignment technology. Independent robot testing puts it among the firmer non-tour balls, which is consistent with its distance-first brief.
Best for
Players chasing ball speed and roll-out who do not need tour-level greenside spin.

Bridgestone e12 Speed — frequently asked
What is the compression of the Bridgestone e12 Speed?
The Bridgestone e12 Speed has a compression rating of 103. 103 is firm — designed for fast swing speeds (105+ mph driver). On slower swings it will feel hard and underperform a softer ball.
Is the Bridgestone e12 Speed a tour ball?
No. The e12 Speed is a distance ball. It prioritizes distance and feel over greenside spin.
What swing speed is the Bridgestone e12 Speed best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed above about 100 mph. At 103 compression the ball is firm enough to compress correctly only on faster swings.
Does the Bridgestone e12 Speed spin a lot around the green?
No — the ionomer cover gives less greenside spin than a urethane tour ball. It is built for distance and straight flight, not short-game stop power.
How much does the Bridgestone e12 Speed cost?
MSRP is $34.99 per dozen. That sits below tour-flagship pricing, which is typically $50 to $55 per dozen.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the Bridgestone e12 Speed?
Amazon is consistently the lowest sticker price for the e12 Speed, typically 10 to 20 percent below $34.99 MSRP once you factor in multi-dozen discounts. Pro shops and big-box retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's, Golf Galaxy) usually charge full retail unless they're running an end-of-season sale. Bridgestone.com itself charges full MSRP but sometimes offers free personalization, which Amazon does not. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new but ball condition varies.
