Bridgestone Golf launches new Driver, Woods & Hybrids

Bridgestone Golf club launch of the new J715 & J815 Drivers, J15F Fairway Woods and J15H Hybrids
 

The brand has produced premium clubs designed to be custom-fitted and adjusted to meet the needs of each individual player. 

The new clubs feature key technologies and modifications are designed to increase ball velocity, produce higher launch angles and aim to improve versatility.

The J715 460 Driver is the first driver to be introduced by Bridgestone since 2010, and incorporates four new technologies designed to maximise distance and accuracy off the tee, including the ability to adjust the crucial loft and lie settings.

The J815 Driver is another adjustable model ideally suited to golfers looking for more solid ball-striking off the tee. 

The J815 Driver includes Power Slit Technology for greater ball velocity and a strong trajectory, but it has a more rigid sole design to gain higher ball flights by generating a 10% lower spin rate that gets the ball airborne and flying further. 

The larger head shape of the J815 is designed to boost confidence at address, while extra volume in the heel improves ball strikes.

Featured technology:

  • The Fast Action Speed Technology (FAST) crown is extremely thin near the clubface and thickens progressively towards the back of the club head to enable the crown to flex slightly at impact – thereby creating a higher launch trajectory and increased velocity.
  • A Power Milled Face featuring a patented pattern addresses the issue of ‘ball slippage’ found on some drivers and maintains the ball’s position of impact to enhance the quality of compression time, therefore reducing the spin for straighter and longer drives.
  • Spin Flight Control Technology involves moveable weights on multiple axes in the heel and middle of the club head, so the golfer can customise the centre of gravity for the desired degree of spin and trajectory.
  • A Variable Adjust System enables the golfer to change both the loft and lie angles on the driver – the loft up to 1° (closed & open) and lie settings of standard, 1° upright or 2° upright. 

The new J15F Fairway Woods and J15 HY Hybrids benefit from design innovations that optimise ball flight and add greater distance from various lies. 

Featured technology:

  • The FAST Crown technology composed of high strength steel is exceptionally thin near the clubface and thickens progressively towards the back of the club head. The resulting flex at impact creates a higher launch angle and a spring-like effect to deliver impressive ball velocities.
  • The Hyper Stainless Steel Face used to manufacture the clubfaces of both the fairway woods and the hybrids is the thinnest face ever produced by Bridgestone Golf at 1.8mm for maximum velocity within the rules.
  • An adjustable Weight Port Technology in the sole of both clubs allows the golfer to influence the level of spin and trajectory for maximum distance and control.
  • A reduced heel profile is delivered by removing material from the heel ensuring less drag in all lies for greater versatility, while the back sole of the club has been lowered to streamline the design and create a sweeping action when coming into contact with the turf and enhancing playability from any lie.
