The 2024 Bridgestone Tour B golf balls continue to lead the industry with fitting options and high-end performance. With four models available, players can find the perfect ball for their game. The Tour B X offers a firm feel and responsive feedback on the greens, while the Tour B XS offers a slightly softer feel with a duller sound. The Tour B RX is designed for slower swing speeds but still offers a responsive feel, while the Tour B RXS is the softest of the four models with a quiet impact sound.
In terms of short game performance, all four models of the 2024 Bridgestone Tour B line up offer high spin capabilities. Players with swing speeds over 105 MPH may prefer the Tour B X or XS for added distance, while those below that mark may opt for the RX or RXS for more spin. Testing showed that there was a modest difference in spin across the line up, with the Tour B RX and RXS providing the most spin for wedge shots. The consistency of spin on poorly struck shots makes the short game more predictable for players.
When it comes to the long game, differences in performance are more noticeable with the 2024 Bridgestone Tour B golf balls. The Tour B RXS showed the most spin with irons, resulting in added height and carry distance for shots. Iron spin varied among the four models, with the Tour B X and RX showing lower spin compared to the XS and RXS. Driver performance was similar for both testers, with the XS and RXS offering higher spin compared to the X and RX. Spin variances were more significant for players with high spin tendencies.
The Mindset markings on the 2024 Bridgestone Tour B golf balls add a unique feature to the line. Designed in collaboration with Jason Day and his mental coach, the three-step Mindset process is highlighted on the ball. Players are reminded to identify their target, visualize the shot path, and focus on the dot with these markings. While the graphics work best on tee shots and putts, they serve as a valuable reminder of the importance of the mental game in golf.
Overall, the 2024 Bridgestone Tour B line offers unmatched choice and performance for players seeking Tour-level golf balls. With options for different swing speeds and spin preferences, players can find the perfect fit for their game. By taking advantage of Bridgestone’s focus on fitting, players can maximize distance and spin for improved performance on the course. The combination of high-end performance and innovative features like the Mindset markings make the 2024 Tour B golf balls a standout option for serious golfers looking to elevate their game.
