No Bridgestone J33R 460 Love

[apex523]

Not many tour players use the Bridgestone J33R Driver

I don't understand why tour players, expecially Bridgestone Staffers, use the J33R Driver? I know Couples uses it and Appleby uses the smaller headed one, but other's like Will Mckenzie dont use it. You see all the time ping staffers using Taylormade drivers, or Mizuno staffers using Titleists drivers, but never the J33R. IMO, it is one of the best drivers out there when it comes to feel, spin, and launch angle. It may not have the hottest face or whatever, but aren't tour players usually concerned about feel. Maybe I'm alone in this one....

CH III has dumped the Superquad he was using....is this an Adams driver he's using at the AT&T ???

[valmario]

looks like an adams to me

[ccgolfer37]

What shaft is he using? Is it still that custom TP-7x?

[Ezgolfer]

?? New Bridgestone to be announced in summer .

Those colors are unique to adams .

[gregcindyh]

I have a few friends that are club pro's on staff with Bridgestone and love the driver. Now they have both went to TM. I believe it's who ever pays!

I looks like the new adams driver are getting some play. I have heard good things about the new driver

[Greaseman1]

That driver to me feels as close to my all time Fav-300 Tour. Problem is so low spin and not real foregiving. Yes, Pro's miss there driver every so often. Also it is too muted. Great shape and look. I bet there new driver adddress's the above issues. ;)

[apex523]

Yea, that does look like an Adams. It is nice that Bridgestone lets CHIII choose whatever brand driver he wants.

 

Taylormade has to shell out big bucks every year bc there are a whole lot of TM drivers on tour. Honestly, i haven't hit a TM driver I liked since the R510TP. Still need to try the new tour burner though...heard it was the real deal.

[titlesitwannabe]

that is a adamsn driver for sure, the xtd pro. also it is wierd he is not using a tm driver becasue he has a contract to use 3 clubs with them.

[floyd]

It is an Adams, I believe it is something like the 9015 or something like that.

The BS driver is a great driver when you hit it on the screws, just as long in distance as everything else on the market. Problem is forgiveness, there really is none with this head. Also finding the right shaft is a key issue with this driver more than some others.

As you can see Stuart Appleby is playing the J36R 460 Bridgestone Golf Driver. When I proved it seems to be an old club with a heavy face, the sound it's very different than the actual 460cc drivers, but it works very easy and long, with a very classic shape.

 

Actually, Bridgestone players signs with them for his:

 

1) Ball

2) Irons

3) Bag

4) Gloves

 

I think there's just one player who is using only Bridgestone... Couples is using TM wedges, TM 510driver, proto BG clubs (never seen in a retail), CHIII Adams driver, Snedekeer TM irons, etc, etc.

 

We have to wait a little so see the newest this summer...

Actually, Couples IS using the Bridgestone J33R 460 Driver as of now...at least as of the Masters. I think he uses Cleveland Wedges as well...not sure about that.

 

Freddy at the 08 Players...

Couldn't have said it better myself. I LOVED my J33's (I started with a 420, then had 2 460's), and it's a superb driver when your swing is on. But the forgivness factor finally convinced me to sell them. I wanted to love this driver, but my swing just isn't consistent enough for it.

[pingman1]

I have the 12* j33r 460. it is very forgiving for me, but probably because of the higher loft. i really love this driver.

[willia64]

I picked up the 460 last week. I am surprised that it is as easy to hit as it is. It will punish a bad swing, but it is very easy to hit a variety of shots. I carry 2 drivers, the BS generally to hit low piercing shots and a Nickent to hit high, so at least one of them will be working most days. What surprised me is that the BS is as long as the Nickent and I don't have to wear earplugs.

According to http://www.earthgolf.com/fred/news-info/whats-in-the-bag/

 

Fred Couples isn't using hte J33R 460, he had a 440cc j33 at the wachovia.

 

I have been using the J33R 460 for a few years now. I don't see it leaving my bag anytime soon.

[okiegolf]

that is a adamsn driver for sure, the xtd pro. also it is wierd he is not using a tm driver becasue he has a contract to use 3 clubs with them.

 

 

Not true. He has no contract with Taylormade.

Apples still plays the old J33 P - pear shaped, 375cc - high launching high spinning.
