Key Features

• 3-Piece Construction: A three-layer build balancing a soft gradational core, Active Acceleration Mantle, and a durable ionomer cover for an ideal blend of distance and feel.
• Active Acceleration Mantle: High-performance polymer mantle layer creates increased thrust and higher initial ball velocity at every impact for longer drives.
• Contact Force Dimple Technology: Unique raised-center dimple design delivers up to 38% more contact with the clubface than traditional dimples, improving energy transfer and straightening ball flight.
• Reduced Side Spin: Engineered to minimise hooks and slices, keeping your ball on a straighter, more predictable trajectory even on off-centre strikes.
• Low Compression Soft Core: A softer, low-compression core provides a comfortable feel, added forgiveness, and reduced driver spin for golfers across a wide range of swing speeds.
• MindSet™ Technology: Proprietary alignment graphics — dot, circles, and line — developed with sports psychologists and tour professionals to reinforce a consistent, focused pre-shot routine.
• Matte Green Finish: High-visibility matte green colour makes tracking your ball in the air and finding it in the rough significantly easier.
• Durable Ionomer Cover: Surlyn-based cover resists scuffs and cuts round after round while delivering a consistent, soft feel on and around the greens.

Technology in Detail

MindSet™ — The Mental Game Advantage

MindSet™ is not a physical component of the ball — it is a mental performance tool integrated directly into the ball's visual design. Bridgestone developed MindSet™ in collaboration with sports psychologists and tour professionals to help golfers of every level build a reliable, repeatable pre-shot routine. The ball features a specially designed graphic system — a dot (Focus Point), concentric circles, and a line (Execution Line) — each of which guides the player through a distinct mental step before every shot. According to Bridgestone's own consumer research, over 80% of golfers who use MindSet see improved scoring by an average of nearly three strokes per round.

MindSet™ has proven especially beneficial for golfers who typically score above 90 — a group representing roughly 75% of all recreational players. By giving players a simple, visual pre-shot routine, MindSet effectively separates analytical thought from athletic performance, allowing the golfer to commit fully to the shot.

How MindSet™ Works — The 4-Step Pre-Shot Routine

1. 1. Define Your Target — The first step is information gathering. Identify your target, assess the distance, evaluate wind conditions, and select the right club. Giving your mind clear, concrete information eliminates guesswork and grounds your decision-making.
2. 2. Visualise Your Shot Shape — Once you have your data, connect mentally with the target. Visualise the exact ball flight, shot shape, or putting line you want to execute. This step bridges the gap between thinking and doing, priming your body for the movement to come.
3. 3. The Dot — Focus Point — The dot on the ball represents the moment of pure concentration. The player pauses, takes a slow deep breath, and directs their full attention to the ball and the upcoming strike. All distractions are released; only the shot exists.
4. 4. The Line — Execution Line — The line represents the direction of the shot. Once target and trajectory are committed, the player focuses on the line and simply executes the swing or putt — without thinking about outcome or mechanics. Trust takes over from analysis.
