COVINGTON, Ga.  – Bridgestone Golf, the #1 ball-fitter in golf, today introduced a new limited-edition e12 STRAIGHT Patriot Pack in support of Tee It Up for the Troops. Including 15 e12 STRAIGHT golf balls, each featuring an American flag graphic, the Patriot Pack comes in a red, white and blue American flag box that any patriot will appreciate. A portion of all proceeds from this limited offering benefits Tee It Up for the Troops.

Tee It Up for the Troops is a national non-profit organization that has donated over $17,000,000 to support programs that deliver critically needed services to help military veterans heal and transition from the battlefront to the home front. With nearly 800 charity golf events held in over 40 states, Tee It Up for the Troops, “steps up to the tee,” to honor, remember, respect, and support all those who served in the armed forces for our great nation.

“Bridgestone Golf and Tee it Up for the Troops have worked together with great success for many years,” said Dan Murphy, president and CEO of Bridgestone Golf. “We both started in 2005 and have experienced significant growth over the last 21 years, and it’s a privilege to continue to honor Tee It Up for the Troops with the new e12 STRAIGHT Patriot Pack initiative.”

The e12 STRAIGHT, which is designed for players that need reduced sidespin for less hooks and slices, features a soft, low compression core, sidespin reducing mantle, and Contact Force dimples. The e12 STRAIGHT is a result of Bridgestone’s research that indicates approximately 85% of golfers would benefit significantly from playing a ball that was optimized for their typical launch conditions.

“Tee It Up for the Troops is deeply thankful to Bridgestone Golf for their many years of supporting our organization and our nation’s military heroes,” said Tim Wegscheid, President and Executive Director of Tee It Up for the Troops.  “Bridgestone has not only enhanced our nationwide network of charity events with donations of quality golf balls for all participants, but now they are stepping up to the tee even more with the Patriot Pack.  We salute Bridgestone Golf for helping us to make a positive difference for our country’s veterans.”

Bridgestone’s e12 STRAIGHT Patriot Pack is available at select retail locations today and features a price of $34.99 per 15-ball pack.

    Why not with the e6 . Veteran

    • Going to speculate, but I don’t know this for sure. I’m guessing the e12 is a more wide-reaching ball so they figure it can fit/appeal to a wider audience. The e12 is the closest “one size fits all” ball in the Bridgestone lineup.
