Bridgestone TourB XW-1 wedges

I'm sure they're great wedges, but something about them just looks off. Maybe it's the shape.

[eRock_Reno]

I think they look great! Way to go Bridgestone.

[jchaywood]

That black finish looks so good. Any idea on grind/bounce options?

[Optimus-Par]

In my crystal ball, I see a partnership forming between Bridgestone and Bettinardi......

[doublepar93]

Those are nice. I like the darker finish. Wonder how it wears.

[BForrester]

Cheaper than cast Vokeys, too. I'd rather support a company like Bridgestone, personally.

[Jesse Sanchez]

This could be my next wedge, Forded is best IMO.

[Jordan Speeth]

Would love to see them next to the rest of the set...they look BIG where the Tour B’s are small

[Adbeach321]

Love the look of these. Wonder if lefties get any love?

Ditto on both!

[ThunderBuzzworth]

Wow they look relatively nice but with no lefty options AGAIN I hereby announce my boycott of Bridgestone golf equipment all together.

[Jeudey7]

Those are pretty slick!

Kind of looks like a spin off the old J33's. Not just the middle section but the longer hosel as well. I played the J33 blades for a season and the hosel was so much longer than say the Titleist 681's or the TM Rac mb's of that time period. Personally when it comes to wedges I still can'tfind anything I personally play better than the Titleist Vokey 250 series. Good thing I have many back ups.

Well crap, was set on Mizuno T7 wedges until these just showed up.

That dark finish is very nice

[wcbjr]

They dont look very forgiving on shots high on the face.

[Fourpar18]

I love the WHOLE Bridgestone line up!

[Gman70]

I’m hearing very good things about this lineup.

[Jdunn217]

Give me. Give me satin now.

 

[Dave Bryce]

Good job Bridgestone on high quality clubs; however, i am not sure every golfers will like the tear drop design!

[Bimmer1]

Any retail price info? They are about $190 in Japan

 

Edit—— I see it’s $139.99 for the U.S. retail

You know what you are right, they do kinda look like the J33 Forged Wedges. I had a set in Black Oxide and I really liked them.

 

I would def cop these if I wasn't so in love with MD2TG's and I already have a new Black Oxide backup set .....

Bought a J15 56* (Black) off ebay last year to try it out. Bought it new for $59. One of the best wedges I've played. sold my Vokeys. Put a s400 in it. found out that the spinner wasn't so bad after all. A little soft on full shots. I go through about 3 wedges a year. Bridgestone is very good product!

It appears from the Bridgestone 2018 catalog there will be an iron set (JGR HF2) and a bonded driver/3W (JGR) in lefty. Page 11/12 in the catalog below.

I like the JGR HF2 iron. They’ve been out in Japan along with the HF1. I’m hoping the HF2 comes to the U.S.

[jonn443]

That black is dead sexy.

I think you'll be pleased come January!

Has anyone received and played the XW-1 wedges yet? Any comments? Mine have arrived (in the office) can't wait to unbox them when I get back in the office. I'm loving my Tour B CB's... It doesn't look like BS gets much Love.....

[MBBG]

Bridgestone is really really good at making fantastic golf equipment and really really bad at making lots of people want to buy it.

 

Fair?

 

That said, I could definitely see a set of those black wedges in my bag.

[easylittle5wood]

Wish they would offer the 48* in Japan in NA as well.
