Bridgestone Golf
For 2012 Bridgestone basically revamped their entire line of products from clubs to balls. While the j40 club line has been available in limited numbers since late 2011, these really are still new clubs for 2012. I've already reviewed some of the line and must say I was very impressed by the j40 line. In talking with the Bridgestone guys they have been very happy with the success of these clubs.
The big announcement for the PGA show was the introduction of their newly updated B330 series golf balls. These new changes were earlier than I expected since last year the balls were updated. For 2012 Bridgestone now offers dual dimple in every ball. Another new feature is the gradation core which means rather than each layer of the ball being different, the B330 balls have different properties in the core that gradually change to offer improved performance and feel. The last big factor has to be the slightly softened covers of B330 line. In previous versions and reviews the B330 ball, it was very difficult for most players to play; it was just plain too hard. Only the fastest of swing speeds could even consider playing this ball. But with it being 6% softer for 2012 many of the tour staff are switching to this ball. The B330s is now 13% softer and it too will fit even more of the masses of amateur players. While still targeted at the +105mph market, they are now better fitting for the low handicap golfer. The updated B330rx balls too adopted the dual dimple cover. They continue to be popular with slower swingspeed amateurs.
Bridgestone has a solid PGA pro staff and great products for 2012. If you are looking for some real players clubs, check out the j40 line, you will be impressed. If you need to upgrade your golf balls, look into getting fit for the Bridgestone ball for you.
