Masters season is always full of fun golf gear releases and announcements. Even more special this year is the Tigers Back 22 limited edition golf ball, celebrating the return of Tiger Woods to golf after his horrific auto accident. Thanks to Bridgestone for sending me a sleeve. They’re sweet.
The ball is a special edition of the Bridgestone Tour B XS ball. The Tour B XS is a professional ball, designed for swing speeds of 105mph and over, and for those players who require “tour” spin.
In for review from Bridgestone Golf is the new Tour B XS Tiger Woods Edition. I really dig the packaging and presentation in the box and sleeves. Each ball is marked with the word TIGER.
The Tour B XS is designed for golfers with a driver swing speed over 105 miles per hour. Probably right on the edge of my range at this point in my golf career, with age and a major shoulder surgery in play.
Distance
According to Bridgestone the ball delivers even “more distance.” I have yet to see a new golf ball come out that claims, “less distance.” 🙂
Tour Spin
The cover of the ball features REACTiViQ technology; a smart cover that reacts to the force of impact. The ball stays in contact with the club longer, allowing the player to impart more control in the short game and work the ball with the irons and metal-woods.
The Masters Tournament never disappoints. Never. What an incredible week. Congratulations to Tiger Woods on the historic win, his 15th major. Please people, don’t ask if Tiger will break Jack’s major championship record.
The golf media world is about to go all in on Tiger again. Be ready for it.
