Bridgestone Driver Promotion, buy a driver get a free black satin wedge

Tempting

I've been looking at the J33r 460 for awhile, demoed it with the NV, I'm not sure about it that head/combo for me. But I see that they just started a promotion where you get a free black satin wedge when you buy any Brdigestone driver.

With a golfsmith labor day sale, I could order one with an NV for about $255 and get a free wedge. I'm playing the irons and the GW, anybody with feedback on their 60 degree wedge? Any suggestions for a different shaft in the j33r 460 for somebody who is not a real high ball hitter?

I used to like um'

BUT THERE WEDGES SUCK.

The driver is nice. So are the Woods. My 2 cents.

Oh come on now. If you're going to give non-specific opinions in all caps, at least use the correct spelling (it's "their").

Mike, if you're thinking about getting the Bridgestone driver, do it because you like the driver and not because of the free wedge promotion. That said, call the wedge a $75 bonus (good price on a new wedge, though they retail higher). That leaves you with the driver costing $180. Add to that the cost of a shaft install, and you're looking a bit higher.

Now, Joe Kwok can definitely help fit you into a shaft that might better fit your swing profile than the NV (though you'll probably have to give him more than "not a real high ball hitter" :stop: ). I'll put money on Fujikura having a shaft that will fit you to a tee. However, Accuflex has some VERY nice products that are extremely well priced. PM Jody (accuflex1 ? i think) if you should decide to go that route.

My personal advice though . . . boycott Bridgestone until they bring out some lefty clubs. ;)

That's why those in "the know" play Tourstage. Like Toyota & Lexus, Nissan & Infinity. Honda & Acura, Buick & Cadillac....there is a difference. ;)

Awww come on beruo..that's why I got the "ai-spec" 58-08 2006 limited editions too. ;)

Thanks for the input.

I've been playing an NV in my driver for over 3 years, and have it in my 3 wood and utility club. So I like it. But I demoed a J33r 460 with the same shaft I have in my driver and it just felt very soft and loose. I don't really know why, maybe a differnce in the bore length.

And I really do like my J33 gap wedge. I've had the X-tour wedges for about 6 weeks, I really like my SW, but the LW, I just haven't gotten real comfortable with it.

Wow...that is some impressive artwork! It would take me years to figure out how to do that...no worries about retaliation, I know it's all in good fun....for us righties! :stop: ;)

On the bright side, you do have the Titleist 731PM's which were a swcheet set of sticks.

I'm jumping into this late, but the j33 460 is a very low spin low launch driver. Take this into consideration when chosing loft and shaft. You might want a shaft with a lower kick?! If you can find the right combination, you will definitely not be disappointed with the head feel and performance... Very solid, and hides the 460cc well!
