2018 Official Forum Member Review - Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 Wedges

Recommended Posts

I was able to get nine holes in today and get an idea how the Bridgestone wedge was going to work for me. I'm loving it. I normally play a two piece distance ball, but hit up Wal-Mart for some used urethane balls to check out the spin. I hit two shots from about 40 yards and they stopped no more than two feet from the pitch mark. (Now gotta work on accuracy) I wasn't able to get any to spin back, but they were aerating the greens. I tried a low, spinning pitch shot on the last hole and was pleasantly surprised by how quick it stopped. I only left myself a 35 footer because I didn't get it out far enough. rps20181022_210745.thumb.jpeg.92fea40d59a7bff9395367d0f26706b1.jpeg

Glad you’re liking them! Time and practice, you’ll get the full use of that wand!

I love the 56 that I bought, these are high quality forged wedges. I think you'll be happy with them.

Working on a video, I finally got the launch monitor working. The college coach was in there and got it set up right for me. Perfect timing for an update before the new review hits.

My full 56° was carrying around 94, with spin numbers up in the 11,000’s. Video to follow.

Video attached, hopefully you can read the data.

I’m working on a new swing, second one is a push.


Holy crap! Is there such a thing as too much spin? JK that's pretty sweet though!

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

Nice one shank. I’m probably going to try to head to this golf some with shot tracer tech. Hopefully I’ll get all my numbers figured out for the season. We’ll see. Hopefully the wife lets me out I been real good this winter.
