bridgestone tour b x vs xs

WRX Spotlight: Bridgestone Tour B X and XS Golf Balls

What Brigestone tells us: Both the Tour BX and XS models have REACTIV cover technology, which according to Bridgestone:

“REACTIV is a smart Urethane that acts as an ‘impact modifier’ to deliver a shock absorbing cover on slow impact shots for more spin and control (wedge) – and high resilience on high impact shots for more power and distance (drive). The cover reacts differently depending on the force of the impact.”

In a demonstration at the PGA Show, Bridgestone’s Elliot Mellow showed us in simple terms what the REACTIV tech does. When you hit it hard like with a driver, it firms up, and on a softer shot like a wedge it stabilizes adding up to a softer feel. Keep in mind that Tiger Woods himself is their point of reference for R&D, so something good is going on here.

What Each Ball Does

TOUR B X:  For driver swings over 105 MPH. High speed, low spin off the driver and plenty of spin off of the wedges.

TOUR B XS:  For driver swings over 105 MPH. High Speed, lower Spin off the driver, and probably more spin off the short clubs than any ball out there.

Bridgestone V Fitting System: We experienced this at the show, and I must say it’s pretty solid as far as a quick ball testing goes. A Bridgestone rep, authorized fitter or even a friend can record one driver swing on a phone camera, submit the swing and launch data to an offsite Bridgestone ball fitter and based on that one swing will give you the recommendation. Doesn’t seem like an exact science but Bridgestone attests that it’s within a few percentage points vs a full on-site fitting.

Overall Thoughts

I have been in a Titleist Pro V1x for years and am just now truly messing around with other brands to see what’s out there. Both of these balls perform. Even representatives at other companies admit that Bridgestone consistently is one of the best, so my expectations were high.

The Tour BX is the ball I thought would be more my speed, it’s great off the driver and serviceable around the greens (maybe a touch less spin than my Pro V1x), but after getting the XS in my hands, especially from 150 and in, it was a no brainer. Around the greens (60 yards and in) it reminds me of a tick or two above a balata and its very easy to keep down into the wind.

Off the driver, I’m giving up very little. I maybe get 150-200 RPM more spin, which for me, is welcome and it’s also very stable into a crosswind. All in all, if you are looking around for a new golf ball this season, definitely give this one a spin (no pun intended).

Bridgestone's Tour B Mindset golf balls: What you need to know

What you need to know: Drafting off its recent release of its new Tour B golf balls , Bridgestone takes another step by offering its four models (X, XS, RX and RXS) with Mindset. More than a simple golf-ball ornamentation, Mindset was developed with staff player Jason Day and his long-time mental coach, Jason Goldsmith, homing in on Day’s pre-shot routine and visualization to arrive at the final pattern.

Price/Availability: Available in stores Feb. 16, the Mindset balls cost the same as the standard versions at $50 a dozen.

3 Cool Things

1. Commit to the process. Being more than an interesting stamp on a ball, Mindset requires the golfer to put in a little work. That’s not always easy to do with golfers seeking magic elixirs and immediate gratification.

In this instance, it is a commitment to the Mindset process. “Jason Goldsmith and I worked together to develop a pre-shot system that went beyond the simple visualization I did when I was a kid,” said Day. “He understood how critical pre-shot visualization was to my game, but also knew I needed a more structured, complete routine. Now Bridgestone has made the Mindset process available to all golfers, which is going to be a game changer for a lot of people.”

More From Golf Digest

2. Red, yellow, green, go!! That process involves three steps: Identify, visualize and focus, with each associated with one of the colored circles.

The first step has players looking at the outer, red circle of the graphic. This is the identify aspect and requires the player to identify the target and gather information regarding distance, wind conditions, club selection, and shot shape. The next step moves on to the inner yellow circle which is to visualize the shot shape to the target. The final step is the green dot which promotes full focus on execution.

“You kind of hone in and the colors are a little bit like when drag racing,” said Dan Murphy, president of Bridgestone. “With your red, yellow and green, you kind of build up to where you're going with the green which means go and you're executing the shot. It took probably 20 to 25 different iterations to get it right.”

3. Tour tested. Day’s involvement and commitment to Mindset cannot be understated as anytime a former World No. 1 is persuing something, it typically warrants a look. Day started playing the ball in competition at The Sentry in Hawaii in January but the Mindset process is nothing new for him. Day has worked on the process for several years and now simply has a visual clue to assist the process.

ROBOT TEST: Which Golf Ball Is Best For My Game? Our data reveals all about 28 leading models!

Published: 11 August 2023 Last updated: 15 March 2024

Whether you’re a hard-swinging low handicapper or a slow-swinging senior, this robot golf balls test will identify the best model for your game …

The Robot Golf Balls Test is brought to you in association with Ping

JUMP TO: Meet the robot | Meet the experts | How we did it | How do golf balls differ | Ball-by-ball analysis | The top performers | Data Analysis | What we learned

We all want to be playing the best golf balls for our game, whether an elite player, mid-handicapper, or just starting out, but how do you find out which is the right model with so much information out there? You turn to a robot.

Our first robot golf balls test was one of the most popular pieces of content we have ever produced – and we’ve been trying to do one again ever since.

The pandemic, plus the scarcity of golf robots (and most of those are owned by brands that make balls) has made it a huge challenge to pull off. But we’ve done it, thanks to Loughborough University , and Ping.

Loughborough has a world-renowned reputation for sports research. That’s the reason Ping established their state-of-the-art Performance Centre there, with the aim of advancing cutting-edge technology and innovation in the world of golf.

Ping have done masses of ball testing with their own robots at their Arizona HQ, and when they heard we were keen to set up our own test, they introduced us to Dr Jonathan Roberts, Senior Lecturer at Loughborough’s Sports Technology Institute.

Fast forward four months and it’s done; our second robot balls test is here and it is a super useful package of content for any golfer. So, whether you’re a hard-swinging low handicapper or a slow-swinging senior, this robot test will identify the best ball for your game.

Robot golf balls test: Meet the robot

We ran a robot golf ball test back in 2019, at PXG in Arizona, and it was one of the most popular equipment tests we’ve ever done, gaining millions of views across our website, YouTube and the magazine.

Since that success, we’ve been keen to do it again, but first Covid and then PXG’s own ball launch (we’ll only use a robot without any links to a ball manufacturer) meant we had to find another venue – and expensive golf robots don’t grow on trees!

There are just three in the UK; one at the R&A’s equipment test facility at Kingsbarns GC, and two at the Sports Technology Institute at Loughborough University, the leading sports science university in the world. Loughborough have a close relationship with Ping – it’s the home of the brand’s new Performance Research Centre, and Ping introduced us to the right people to ask: “Can we borrow your robot, please?”

Once they understood what we wanted to achieve, Loughborough said they could help. And thanks to their indoor test lab, we could create a controlled test environment without the interference of weather, which is a huge concern when hitting thousands of shots down a range over five days. It also meant we could easily retrieve any ball that presented abnormal flight behaviors and slice it open to see if there were any deficiencies in its construction.

No ordinary robot

Loughborough’s main research robot is the Miyamae Shot V (they also have an older ex-Dunlop Slazenger model that produces a repeatable, but much cruder swing). The Miyamae was made in Japan and cost $100,000 almost 20 years ago when the university bought it. Unlike the Golf Labs robot we used last time, which is pretty much standard in most major golf R&D labs, the Miyamae works on three axes so it can be set up to better replicate any swing.

Dr Jonathan Roberts, Senior Lecturer at the Sports Technology Institute, was keen to see whether a robot could better replicate golfers’ swings, rather than simply swinging a golf club consistently and repetitively like engineers usually need when comparing clubs. The Miyamae set-up, with some tinkering from his team, is a robot that has three independently controllable axes. It allows the tailoring of club delivery to match/mimic any golfer on the planet.

Robot V swings around a central hub, like the chest of a person, which allows cocking of the wrists and rotation around the shaft axis to replicate how your hands rotate and square the face coming into impact. All three axes can be controlled independently, and Dr Roberts is working with Ping to get the robot to replicate specific swings for a new analysis system.

Setting up the golf robot

With so much adjustability, it takes time to set the robot up to deliver the club in exactly the way you want, and additional time to check the machine is consistently hitting the defined parameters. Obviously for us, to best replicate how human golfers launch shots, we wanted balls to be hit with a neutral path, and neither up nor down onto the ball for driver shots.

For irons and wedges, a typical attack is down onto the back of the ball, all characteristics we dialed in through the robot’s set-up. Though the robot can hit a couple of shots per minute once set up, getting that set-up right can take an hour or more, particularly when switching from drivers to irons, or irons to wedges.

At Loughborough, Dr Roberts has worked on the biomechanical analysis of golfers, using motion capture, for the past four years. It’s next-generation stuff and it’s for a new analysis system Ping are creating to give a better understanding of how different swings are more suited to different types of equipment. This data was used to program the robot for our test, so real swing characteristics have influenced how every shot has been hit.

Dr Roberts told us: “The transition at the top of the backswing feels important, but most R&D robots start swinging from parallel to the ground (so not in the usual address position) and have a pause at the top of the backswing. Our robot can recreate how somebody loads the shaft in a certain way, we get a natural transition from backswing to downswing, and we can look at how the shaft deforms and so on.”

His knowledge isn’t just limited to golf, either; he works as part of a research group designing World Cup footballs for adidas, and is currently studying how real grass playing surfaces compare to 3G Astroturf pitches.

PHD Researcher

More casual than a competitive golfer today, Rory was a Today’s Golfer reader in his youth. Gifted at maths and physics at school, he went on to complete a four-year undergraduate program at Loughborough University.

He’s since spent time working with adidas in Germany and TaylorMade in Basingstoke and is just coming to the end of a PHD where he’s focused on working with the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) on head injury prevention.

Robot golf balls test: How we did it

Experience tells us the only true way to accurately reveal any difference between golf ball performance is via a repeatable swing and a consistently accurate impact location, something no human tester can ever reproduce. The likes of Rory McIlroy might get close, but we wanted to test 28 different balls across different swing speeds and with different clubs; so a robot was our only option.

When we did a similar test in 2019, we used the robot at PXG’s R&D facility in Arizona; this time, the robot was a bit closer to home at Loughborough University, one of the world’s leading sports research facilities.

Why different clubs and different speeds?

We’re all about the club golfer here at TG , so it was really important for us to test each golf ball at different swing speeds to reveal how each ball will perform for you. That means no matter what your swing speed, you’ll find plenty of useful information within this test tailored to your own game.

Our driver shots were hit at speeds of 85, 100, and 115mph (moderate, mid, and fast); for irons, we used a mid-80mph speed, with wedges coming in at 74mph.

To ensure our results are relevant to real-world golfers, we also used Ping clubs suited to these speeds; a 9° Ping G430 LST driver (with X flex Tour 2.0 Chrome shaft) at 115mph; a 10.5° Ping G430 Max driver (with S flex Tour 2.0 Chrome shaft) at 100mph; and a 10.5° Ping G430 Max (with R flex Alta CB Black) at 85mph – read our Ping G430 drivers review .

We took the same approach for irons and wedges using the Ping i230 7-iron and pitching wedge (with S flex Dynamic Gold 105 shafts).

Why we used Loughborough’s golf robot 

With the cost of buying an R&D golf robot running to $100,000-plus, there are not too many around. And the brands that have them also make balls, which obviously presents a conflict of interest should we use one to perform a golf ball test against competitor balls.

Loughborough University, though, is often referred to as the best sports science university in the world, and when Ping (who have also invested in an R&D lab on campus) mentioned the Uni has a robot on the site, we enquired about gaining access.

It’s taken months to set up, but with Senior Lecturer Jonathan Roberts being a golfer and understanding our cause, and Loughborough being an hour’s drive from our UK office, the partnership made perfect sense.

How we picked the golf balls 

Time on an R&D robot is costly. Every hour taken up hitting balls for our test means the machine can’t be used for other research. The robot also needs a qualified operator, to ensure the set-up is correct and test conditions don’t change, and people like that are not easy to find, either. With time on the robot being limited, we had to select the balls most relevant to most people, as testing every single ball on the market simply wasn’t an option. 

In order to test a good range of balls, from the most popular tour golf balls to lower-compression club golfer balls and the best budget balls , we drew up a shortlist of 28 models. We knew from our previous robot ball test (which featured 22 models) that this number could just about be tested within a single day from one of the five different situations (three driver speeds, one 7-iron speed, and one pitching wedge speed). That meant the whole test could be wrapped up in five days.

Our first big decision was to eliminate the direct-to-consumer golf balls that have sprung up over the last decade to get the list down to 28. There aren’t too many factories capable of producing golf balls that aren’t owned by the likes of Titleist, Srixon, Callaway or TaylorMade, so a lot of these DTC models are quite similar in terms of R&D, and most barely create a blip on the radar in terms of global ball sales. We will, however, be doing a thorough DTC balls test over the summer.

After that, we needed to include the leading tour balls from the game’s biggest brands (including PXG), along with the popular ‘club golfer’ balls (including Kirkland) and a number of value-for-money options (like Maxfli). Every decision we made was geared to giving you the best, most relevant information to help you establish which ball best suits your game, and pocket.

Why we tested indoors

It wasn’t too long ago the golf industry thought outdoor testing and fitting was the only way to go, as it gave the opportunity to see a shot’s entire flight. Since Foresight and their camera-based launch monitors have arrived on the scene, though, thinking has changed.

Foresight’s GCQuad is now recognized by players and brands as one of the best golf launch monitors , and it now features in many R&D test labs. And because it measures everything you need to know about a golf shot within 18 inches of the ball leaving the clubface, the Quad makes it possible to accurately test indoors.

The added benefit of testing indoors is that it’s possible to create a controlled lab environment, so weather conditions – temperatures, wind, or rain – have no effect on the data, which isn’t the case when testing outdoors. All the data came from a Foresight GCQuad for our last robot test in 2019, so it made sense to use the same system.

Each ball was hit only once

We wanted to create the cleanest, most accurate data possible, so we only hit each golf ball once.

Our thinking means that if there’s ever a ‘rogue’ ball among our samples, it only affects one of the five situations we test from, not all of them. It also means if any ball is damaged during the hitting process, it doesn’t get reused, so it can’t skew our data on subsequent shots.

We asked brands to send us five dozen of each ball selected for testing, which allowed 12 shots to be hit from each of the three driver swing speeds, as well as a dozen of each ball with the 7-iron and pitching wedge.

In total, that’s 1,680 robot shots during the week. Each of the five individual test orders was randomized and split into sets of three balls at a time. That ensured there wasn’t a four to five-hour gap between testing the first dozen and the final dozen, just in case there were any temperature swings inside the lab.

Thousands of pieces of data

By tracking head and ball data through the launch monitor, we created thousands of data points (looking just at basic ball and club data, there are 19 different metrics for every shot!), which gave us a mountain of data to analyze.

It took the best part of two weeks to sift through it, checking, double checking, and coming up with averages for the longest, fastest, and spinniest balls, and deciding on our recommendations within each product category.

Robot golf balls test: How do golf balls differ?

Two-piece golf balls

Two-piece balls are the least expensive. Typically they have a big core under a thick ionomer or surlyn cover. For many club golfers two-piece models represent an excellent blend of reasonable performance and value, particularly if they’re prone to losing a few.

Even though these are the least expensive balls on the market, it’s not uncommon to find a choice of a softer feel, longer distance, or a blend of both in a single ball. We’ll highlight the difference between this category and others so you can weigh up if it’s really worth paying for tour-level performance or urethane-cover club golfer balls.

Three-piece golf balls

More than half the balls in this test are three-piece, which means this is a very popular construction method for tour and club golfer balls. The core size is shrunk to allow a mantle layer to sit between the core and outer cover, which allows engineers to dial in different characteristics based on the wants of the target player.

Tour-level three-piece balls have urethane covers to maximize wedge spin and greenside control. Gone are the days when three-piece tour balls were just softer, higher spinning versions of firmer four-piece ‘X’ style balls; today, Srixon and Bridgestone only make three-piece tour balls. So, each model is dialed up or down to a swing speed the ball is aimed at, and/or the feel, distance, and wedge spin that particular golfer is likely to desire.

Four-piece golf balls

Traditionally, four-piece golf balls were firmer ‘X’ style, lower spin, higher flying models; but things have changed.

The most recent Pro V1x (four-piece) is said to have higher long-game spin than the Pro V1 (three-piece) and a higher ball flight. Callaway’s Chrome Soft X and X LS are both four-piece, with the X being more workable, and the X LS generating lower long-game spin.

Common thinking is firmer balls are faster and longer, irrespective of swing speed. We’ve also seen they don’t always spin lower with a wedge than their softer siblings. Use our test data to identify the models that are fast and long with the driver/iron and spin with a wedge.

Five-piece golf balls

TaylorMade are the only major brand to make five-piece balls, and the TP5 and TP5x are played by Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Brooke Henderson, Tommy Fleetwood, and Rickie Fowler.

With three layers between the core and cover, the brand have more knobs and levers to tweak to dial down driver spin, up launch or maximize wedge spin. The firmer feeling TP5x is faster, longer and launches higher, whereas the TP5 offers a little extra wedge spin and shot-shaping potential.

Robot golf balls test data and verdict – Bridgestone Tour B XS

Robot golf balls test verdict: Bridgestone say the Tour B XS ups spin over the Tour B X. Our data supports their thinking, but we’re talking very small amounts. An additional 39rpm backspin compared to the Tour B X with driver (at 115mph) means giving up 2.7 yards of carry.

With a 7-iron the backspin difference drops to 11rpm (with just 0.1 yards carry distance between the two), and 111rpm with a PW, so club golfers are likely to struggle to see any real difference between the pair. Interestingly, both balls were inside our test average for shot area, with the higher spinning Tour B XS, which racked up the smallest area at our 115mph driver speed, boasting 26.2yds sq compared to the Tour B X at 30.4.

Bridgestone Tour B RX golf ball

Struggled to keep pace with Callaway's ERC Soft

The Bridgestone Tour B XS ball was originally designed for Tiger Woods and it delivers the kind of performance you would expect. It’s fast off the face and low spinning in the long game so you get excellent distance and accuracy with a fast swing. It’s soft, spinny and consistent in the short game and feels controlled with the putter. At this price, it offers excellent value given the all-round performance.

Very long and straight for golfers with faster swing speeds. Superb feel and exceptional spin control around the greens.

Performance off the tee might be sub optimal for slower swingers.

Durability of the cover could be improved.

The Tour B XS was originally produced at the request of Tiger Woods so that tells you a bit about what kind of golfer it’s aimed at. Whilst Woods has subsequently switched into to Tour B X model in an attempt to gain more distance following his multitude of health issues, the Tour B XS remains one of the best premium golf balls .

It’s designed for golfers who swing the driver at speeds in excess of 105mph and require tour-level spin control and feel around the greens. It's also aimed at the more feel-orientated player, versus the Tour B X (used by Bryson DeChambeau ) which is geared slightly more for distance.

I took this ball out for a number of rounds to see if it sits amongst the best golf balls on the market.

A lot of golfers will, rightly or wrongly, look at that driver swing speed recommendation and think it’s not for them and while that will be the case for many handicap golfers, I swing the driver between 100mph and 105mph and play off mid single figures and really enjoyed using the ball.

It's not like it was completely unplayable off the tee so it’s definitely an option for better players, even if you’re not quite at the swing speed level suggested to be optimum for this ball.

The speed recommendations from Bridgestone are very much a guideline to provide a starting point for selection, but we have definitely seen success outside those parameters so don't be afraid to experiment. 

I was able to generate enough speed to take advantage of the Gradational Compression core, so it launched with high speed and the low spin ensured distance was more than competitive against the premium ball I usually play.

The Dual Dimple pattern certainly seemed to live up to the promise of delivering enhanced aerodynamics and extra distance. The good shots flew very long and very straight, holding their line impressively well.

Particularly slow swing speed players might find the ball dropping out of the sky a little too quickly on long-game shots, so really think about which area of the game you prioritise.

That said, any golfer will enjoy this ball’s performance around the greens. The 'Reactiv' urethane cover is designed to absorb shock on slow impact shots for more spin and control and the ability to consistently hit all the finesse shots you require was evident throughout testing.

It feels exceptionally soft, up there with any of the best soft golf balls , and comes of the clubface slowly (which is what you want for short pitches and chip shots) and grabbed up quickly on the second bounce. The feel was also very nice to putt with, especially on faster greens.

The durability was acceptable for a urethane-covered ball, although the cover did show some signs of scuffing up after a round or two of use.

Overall, the Tour B XS delivers everything it promises and I was very impressed. The high levels of spin, control and the exceptionally soft feel were my highlights of a very impressive premium golf ball.

Bridgestone TOUR B XS Golf Ball Review

Tour B(2020)

Tour B XS-TW

Dimples: 330 featuring a dual dimple within each dimple design

Compression: Mid

Category Comparison: Tour

Spec: (Three) 3 Piece / Layers

Cover: Urethane Cover, SlipRes technology, Seamless Cover

Core: Gradational Compression core

Price: $44.99

Go with Bridgestone TOUR B XS for much improved feel and also gain more control, with distance. The better feel of the Bridgestone TOUR B XS is based on a softer cover.

Tour B XS is also for better scoring players that have a need for better feel, along with long distance. The softer urethane cover has a mid compression rating of (75), providing a soft feel.

The bottom line is that the Bridgestone TOUR B XS Golf Ball is a very good choice for a low handy cap player and a number of pro's are now playing the B XS golf ball.

The Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball retails for $44.99 a dozen (MSRP) and just like its B X sibling, it’s built and designed with the company’s proprietary Dual Dimple Design and SlipRes technology, for promoting better accuracy and improved control on every shot (including more birdies). The better feel of the Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball is due to the SlipRes technology, which makes for a softer cover compared to the previous gen. The gradation core construction of the Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball translates into enhanced ball speed, and provided you hit it on the face properly, you’ll be able to perfectly control the spin and the trajectory with every shot. Moreover, the proprietary SlipRes cover also increases friction, thus providing for additional control on wedge shots, while the gradational core design promotes less spin and improved energy control.

As the Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball offers a larger standard deviation of conditions, it is suited for better golfers, as per Bridgestone’s director of ball fitting statement. The Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball also comes with the company’s proprietary and field-proven dual-dimple pattern, but this time with a twist: the 330-dimple pattern is present in all 330 dimples, a brand new feature that dramatically improves the aerodynamics of the ball, thus promoting distance, and also benefits roll on tee shots and initial launch and speed. Needless to say, the Bridgestone Tour B XS Golf Ball offers more control on the greens than the generation it replaces, being designed for low-handicap golfers seeking for more feel and distance, while the regular Tour B X is feel/accuracy driven. To get an idea about what this baby is all about, the Tour B XS is likely to have the highest spin rate of the Tour B lineup, so keep that in mind when you go shopping for golf balls.

Bridgestone Tour B Golf Ball 2020 Edition is Here

2020 seems to be the year of the golf ball, and to prove this point, Bridgestone unveiled its latest Tour B series, which, according to the Japanese company (and rather unusual), has a totally revolutionary design and the whole nine yards. Speaking of revolutionary design in a golf ball is a bold claim, to say the least, since basically all golf balls look and play the same, more or less, so what is Bridgestone Golf trying to tell us?

Well, since we live in the current year, with smart technology and smart appliances, it’s the golf ball’s turn to “turn smart” (pun intended), i.e. the new Tour B golf ball has a smart cover, which took Bridegstone years to develop and put into practice. Yes, you got that right, smart golf balls are here to stay. Here’s the deal: when it comes to golf ball design, and generally speaking product design, the engineers must make compromises in certain areas, as they’re basically forced to sacrifice one thing to gain another. For example, since we’re in the golf ball department, there’s always a trade-off between increased distance and, let’s say greenside spin.

The Tour B series is claimed to be free of such sacrifices, as in these balls are all about high performance and nothing else. There were no corners cut, no trade-off, just a pact signed in blood with the technological devil. Basically, the new golf ball Made in Japan boasts a revolutionary Reactiv urethane cover, that was developed by the combined know-how of over nine hundred rubber and polymer engineers. The Reactiv cover is said to offer quicker rebound at greater speeds, but in the same time, it offers excellent greenside control when it comes to lower speed shots, i.e. it’s the best of both worlds, just like Nissan GTR was back in the day, and needless to say, this new cover material is not available in any other golf ball on the market, since it’s proprietary to Bridgestone.

And yes, Bridgestone calls this urethane-thing to be the world's first smart cover. Here’s Dan Murphy, President & CEO Bridgestone Golf:

The REACTIV cover technology is the most dramatic step change to cover construction since 1999 when we led the industry from Balata to Urethane covered Tour balls.Combining Tiger Woods with 900 polymer engineers from Bridgestone Tire has proven an unstoppable formula. This new technology will redefine what pros and amateurs expect from a golf ball.

Yes folks, the Tour B is Tiger Woods approved, and somehow that speaks more to us than fancy words and “900 engineers” working on a golf ball. We know that sometimes it takes a small army of scientists to develop a golf ball, since there are tons of strict rules enforced by the PGA in regard to equipment conformity, but 900 engineers working at a ball cover seems a little bit too much. However, Bridgestone is a huge company with multi-decades of experience when it comes to rubber compounds and polymers, hence we bet that the new Tour B is absolutely phenomenal.

There are 4 models to choose from, each of them being targeted to appeal to players at different swing speeds, and each of the four models offers distinct differences. There’s the Tour B X and the B XS, for golfers with driver swing speeds of 105 mph and above, featuring the Reactiv urethane cover, plus Bridgestone’s patented Gradational Compression Core technology and Active Acceleration Mantle.

Then, we have the Tour B RX and Tour B RXS, which are best for golfers with swing speeds below 105 mph, i.e. using these you’ll get a softer feel and more distance. Just like the others, the B RX and B RXS boast the Reactiv urethane cover, with the core powered by the Gradational Compression Core and Active Acceleration Mantle layer.

And here’s Tiger Woods himself praising the new Tour B golf balls:

“I’ve worked with Bridgestone’s R&D team for nearly 20 years now, so I know they are the market leader in golf ball innovation, but the last couple of years have been different. Working closely with the R&D team, I’ve been able to take ownership of this design more than any other ball spec in my career. We have taken it to the next level with the new REACTIV cover. It gives me the right feel and has short game spin that exceeds my previous urethane ball. Off the tee, ball speed is up and this new TOUR B XS is definitely longer while still being in my window.”

The new golf balls will become available to the general public starting with February 14th and they’ll be priced at $44,99/dozen, in classic whit and optic yellow (the RX and RXS only).

Tiger Woods Tour B XS-TW Golf Ball Released by Bridgestone to Consumers Worldwide

If you're a Tiger Woods fan, boy, do we have good news for you today, but let's begin with a downer: you already know that Tiger failed to enter the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, but take a load of this: the 15-time major winner who is famous for using Bridgestone golf balls will have his name on a ball.

Yes, you got that right: the Japanese company who makes Tiger Woods' golf balls just made a lot of fans happy as it announced last Monday their latest Tour B XS-TW. Speaking of “my name on a golf ball”, it becomes pretty obvious that the TW particle stands for Tiger Woods, and here's Bridgestone's golf ball marketing manager Elliot Mellow in a press release on the new Tour B XS-TW:

"Tiger Woods has proudly stated that he has never been more involved with the design of a golf ball from the birth of concept to final model, than he has with the new 2020 Tour B XS golf ball, so it is only fitting that we offer a version to consumers with the same TIGER sidestamp that Woods himself uses.”

Truth be told, you'll have to pay a little extra for playing with the exact same golf ball as the legend, but you'll also get a special side stamp and 12 of this high-performance balls for $44.99. However, for the sake of "full disclosure", it's worth mentioning that these special golf balls are nothing more than glorified and customized 2020 Tour B XS's, i.e. there's nothing new really about these golf balls, just a bit of smart marketing on Bridgestone's part. Obviously, since we're talking high performance here, the new Tour B XS-TW is aimed at tour-level swing speeds, i.e. highly-skilled golfers looking for something cool in their golf-bag. To be more precise, the TW golf balls are ideal for golfers with a driver swing speed of 105 miles per hour and more but compared to the Tour B X, they have a softer feel, which is great, and also spin more around the greens. Also, these babies feature the usual Reactive urethane cover, just like all Brigestone's 2020 Tour B golf balls. The Reactive urethane cover is said to rebound quicker than other “vanilla” urethanes, thus it helps with generating more speed and distance off the tee.

Bridgestone 2022 Tour B RXS Golf Ball Review

Bridgestone 2022 tour b rxs golf ball.

The Bridgestone 2022 Tour B RXS ball is designed for players with swing speeds under 105 mph looking for softer feel and maximized spin around the greens. Featuring the new REACTIV iQ urethane cover that reacts based on the force of impact, the RXS delivers increased ball speed for maximum distance off the tee with a soft feel and increased spin for control on approach shots. Previously a huge fan of the E12 Contact , I gave the RXS a try after using Bridgestone’s ball selector tool .

How Does it Feel?

The Bridgestone 2022 Tour B RXS has an incredibly dynamic range of feel depending on the shot at hand. When faced with shots requiring faster swing speeds, the RXS felt firm and explosive. On the flip side, touchy shots around the green requiring whatever finesse I could muster, the RXS felt responsive and soft. Both thanks to the REACTIV iQ cover that responds and compresses differently depending on speed.

Personally, I am not necessarily what you would call long off the tee and you will definitely not see me throwing balls behind the pin and spinning them back. However, after getting virtually fit for the RXS, I noticed benefits to my game that I haven’t seen from the likes of other big name brand balls that you’ll see (or find in the woods).

Off the Tee

When it comes to the first tee box, I am looking for control and accuracy. When putting a smooth swing on the Bridgestone 2022 Tour B RXS, the ball exploded off of the face, yet still felt soft enough to give that “sweet spot” feeling and really control my natural fade tendency. The RXS and others in the lineup feature Gradational compression, which produces fast ball speeds and reduces side spin. Couple that with Dual Dimple technology, I found this ball to be consistent and long off the tee – a hard combination to come by.

When it came to the occasional short par fours where I may pull a long iron on the tee, the RXS continued to impress. The ball really did seem to spring off the face. Even on slight mishits off the toe, I was finding forgiveness and additional yardage compared to balls I’ve used in the past.

On the Approach

Similar to off the tee, I was finding my irons and wedges to be going farther with the Bridgestone Tour B RXS, which was a welcomed sight. After some adjustment to my numbers, the control was very apparent. The RXS felt responsive off the face and softer than off the tee. With the softness came a high ball flight which helped me hit and hold more greens. SCT, Seamless Cover technology, delivers a perfectly balanced dimple pattern to achieve more consistent accuracy, distance and trajectory which definitely helped here.

Around the Green

Around the green is where the 2022 Tour B RXS really shines. Bridgestone says REACTIV iQ stays on the face longer on approach shots, providing more spin and soft feel around the green, and let me tell you they are not lying. The Tour B RXS feels fantastic on chips and from the sand. On chips out of the rough or off tight lies I was able to get spin and stop the ball I normally struggle to find. Additionally the RXS felt soft and rolled true with the putter.

I really wanted to put the durability of Bridgestone’s “smart” REACTIV iQ cover to the test. I took one ball and hit ten consecutive bunker shots, enough to scuff up and damage other balls I’ve seen and tested . The Tour B RXS came out almost unscathed with minimal damage. I’m impressed by not only the feel, but the durability of the cover.

Final Thoughts – 2022 Bridgestone Tour B RXS

Bridgestone really has something for everyone. Whether you want distance or spin, or have a variety of swing speeds, there is a great option. With the help of Bridgestone’s online VFIT system, you can find a ball that is perfect for your game. In the case of the Brisgestone 2022 Tour B RXS, it is an extremely dynamic ball, explosive off the tee yet soft and responsive off wedges and short irons. Spin where you want it, and less spin where you do not. The RXS is a fantastic option for a player with a moderate swing speed looking for a ball that spins and responds with ease from around the green and feels even better on the green with the flatstick.

I had high hopes for this ball, but unfortunately for me this ball does NOT shine around the greens. I have been a fan of the Tour B X ball for a while now, but my swing speed says I should be using the RX or RXS. The RXS does have a softer feel, but it doesn’t have the ability to check up like the X ball. I maybe get a bit more pop off the irons, but that’s about it. It reminds me a bit of the original Titleist AVX which was also a superball around the greens. It’s probably not a big deal for those that usually play non-urethane covered golf balls, but I don’t think this ball belongs in the Tour B family.

I found this ball perfect for my game and age at 59 years. Seems so much better off the tee and fairways than other balls.

July 27 2023 I started playing with this golfball a year ago , it’s been a great game changer for me.i dont think I will go back to using the pro v 1. The Bridgestone tour B RXS has been an amazing short game ball, this ball checks up quick, with spin and control this ball has been the best ball from the bunker …enough said have a great game

This is one of the best all around balls out there. This ball does everything and then some. This ball spins a great deal and it backs up on a well struck wedge. The distance is outstanding and extremely good stable ball flight. Easy to control around the greens from 100yds in. Whomever cannot get this ball to work around the greens, it is not the ball, it is your swing.

I liked the ball off the tee or from the fairway, low spun and good distance from my driver and good feel and spin from my irons short greenside shots felt great and stopping the ball was no problem, I like the Tour B RXS and will play it this season.

Bridgestone 2024 Tour B XS Golf Ball Review

B ridgestone Golf has released a new range of Tour B golf balls for 2024 including the RX, RXS, X and XS. In this review we will be assessing the Tour B XS and seeing if it sits amongst the best golf balls of 2024.

The previous iteration of the Tour B XS was a very popular ball, so I was interested to see how the 2024 version had moved on. 

Bridgestone says that the new Reactiv X system creates more rebound on tee shots to increase distance and stays on the face longer on approach shots which provides more spin and a softer feel on shorter, more precision shots.

Bridgestone also says that this ball is designed for players who produce more than 105 mph of driver speed and as someone who fits into that category, I was keen to explore the performance. 

On my long shots, I found the ball speeds to be consistent albeit a little bit slower than the Tour B X version, averaging around 1.5 mph slower throughout the bag.

Spin numbers were most definitely on the higher side for me throughout my long game testing, with the driver coming in at around 2400 rpm, 7 iron producing approximately 6800 rpm and pitching wedge spinning around 9650 rpm. This predictably produced a significantly greater peak height, and as such a sharper descent angle which would be ideal for those playing on generally firm greens. The downside I found was a good 8-10 yards of distance loss on my driver which for me nullifies the benefit. I may be able to hit my approach slightly higher and spin it a touch more, but I would likely be hitting one more club from where my tee shot ends up so the additional spin would be canceled out by the significant less loft in my hand.

Around the green is where the Tour B XS really shines. I don't know if I have tried a spinnier ball around the greens since the balata days, and I seriously enjoyed my short game session with this ball. Feeling the cover grip on to the club face was a real throwback and the reactions on the greens were exceptional. Off well struck pitch and bunker shots, the Tour B XS would dig into the green like it was pitching into Velcro! I actually felt my technique improving as I could freely and aggressively attack the ball knowing that it wouldn’t get away from me on the first bounce, allowing me to throw the ball further up the green and check it up obediently.

As my short game session was so much fun, it went on for quite a while so I did put these balls through quite a lot of punishment during testing and they stood up really well from a durability point of view. Just some tiny blemishes to the cover were apparent after a few mid-range bunker shots but nothing that you wouldn’t see on any of the other best premium golf balls .

Bridgestone has also introduced a new concept which it refers to as MindSet. Essentially this is a new logo that has been printed on the side of the ball, scientifically designed to help you separate analytical thoughts from athletic performance. It is designed to provide a visual cue to remind you of a three step process to get your mind ready to perform the shot at hand. These steps are; identifying your target, visualizing the shot path and finally focussing on the dot to clear your mind and help you execute. 

It may sound a bit complex when reading this, but in practice it is actually very straightforward, and although I was initially skeptical I actually found it quite an effective way of adding a bit of structure to my pre-shot routine.

At $49.99 a dozen, the Tour B XS is sensibly priced and is a ball certainly worth testing for the higher swing speed player looking for maximum control around the greens.

Titleist Pro V1 Vs Bridgestone Tour B XS

Finding the Pro V1 a little too expensive or just looking for some alternatives? Could the Bridgestone B XS be the right fit for you? Lets take a look at these two premium quality golf balls.

Affiliate Disclosure:  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Titleist Pro V1

The Titleist Pro V1 golf ball is the ultimate choice for serious golfers looking for unparalleled performance on the course. With its soft feel and exceptional distance, the Pro V1 will help you achieve your best game yet. Its advanced three-piece construction provides a perfect balance of distance and control, and its durable cover ensures that it will stand up to even the most demanding rounds. Whether you’re a pro or an amateur, the Titleist Pro V1 is the perfect ball for those who demand the best.

Bridgestone Tour B XS Vs Titleist Pro V1

In terms of performance the closest ball to the Pro V1 in the Bridgestone range is the Tour B XS. The 2022 Bridgestone Tour B generation shows only modest changes to the 2020 models.

The Bridgestone Tour range feature a seamless cover that is meant to give better performance and aerodynamic balance. There was a period a few years ago where lining up the Pro V1 with the seam in the direction you were going gained you a few extra yards!

Ball Flight

I found the Tour B XS flew a little higher for me so the Pro V1 tended to have a more penetrating ball flight.

Short Game Spin

There was slightly more spin from the Tour B XS compared with the Pro V1 but I could only really tell using a launch monitor. The results on the ground appeared pretty similar.

For me the balls performed about the same but to be fair my swing speed is probably not high enough to get the best from these balls.

How To Choose The Right Bridgestone Golf Ball For You

If you’re looking to buy a Bridgestone golf ball, there are a few things you’ll need to consider. First, think about your swing speed. Bridgestone split their balls into ones designed for swing speeds below or above 105 mph. The X and XS are for playesr with swings above 105 mph while the RX and RXS are for players with swings below 105 mph.

Do Premium Golf Balls Make A Difference?

There is a lot of debate surrounding the use of premium golf balls, with some players believing that they make a significant difference to their game and others feeling that they are not worth the extra expense . It really comes down to the state of your golf game. If you don’t generate much ball speed and you aren’t striking the ball that well then you probably need to look at some of the balls in other market segments.

In the right hands a premium ball can give a player that extra edge to improve their game.

Professional golfers such as those on the PGA Tour do use premium golf balls as a rule, so it is definitely worth considering if you are looking to take your game to the next level.

Does The Type Of Golf Ball Really Matter?

It is often debated whether the type of golf ball really matters. While some golfers swear by a certain brand or type of golf ball, others claim that any type of golf ball will do. Ultimately, it is up to the individual golfer to experiment with different types of golf balls to see which one works best for their game.

Realistically, if you have a high handicap, say above 18 then the type of ball you pick is going to make less difference to the quality of golf that you play. As your golf improves the quality of ball is likely to have a greater impact on your game.

What Other Golf Balls Are Similar To Pro V1?

Most golf ball manufacturers produce a ball to compete with the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. This is

They are really designed for high swing speeds and mostly have a high compression rating. Below is a table of some of the main competitors to the Titleist Pro V1. Balls in this category tend to generate little spin in the long game but provide great spin around the greens.

• TaylorMade TP5
• Wilson Staff Model R
• Mizuno RB Tour
• Piper Black
• Oncore Vero X1
• Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot
• Srixon Z-Star
• Callaway Chrome Soft
• Bridgestone Tour B RX

Alternatives to The Bridgestone Tour B XS

As an alternative to the Bridgestone Tour B XS, the Callaway Chrome Soft is a great choice for golfers. It has a softer feel and produces plenty of spin around the greens. The TaylorMade TP5 is a popular choice too and the only 5-piece golf ball on the market.

Titleist Pro V1 Vs Bridgestone Tour B XS: Conclusion

The Tour B XS is a decent challenger to the Pro V1 but given it’s only $5 cheaper you won’t be changing to save money. If a cheaper option is required you should probably investigate the Snell. If you don’t have the swing speed then you might want to investigate some lower compression balls .
