The Bridgestone TOUR B RX is a premium, tour-level golf ball engineered for players with lower to moderate swing speeds — specifically those swinging under 105 mph — who demand maximum distance off the tee without sacrificing feel, control, or stopping power in the short game. For 2026, Bridgestone has introduced the groundbreaking VeloSurge Core-Mantle integration technology, which pushes the Moment of Inertia (MOI) of the ball to levels never before seen, delivering measurable gains in ball speed and carry distance. Combined with the intelligent REACTIV iQ Smart Urethane cover, the TOUR B RX adapts dynamically to every shot — releasing energy faster on full drives while gripping the clubface longer on wedge and pitch shots for tour-calibre spin and precision. The result is a ball that truly performs from the first tee to the final putt.
The defining innovation of the 2026 TOUR B RX is the VeloSurge technology — a new internal construction developed through an intensive VS Proto project that tested over 240 prototype variations before arriving at the final design. VeloSurge fundamentally redefines the relationship between the core and the mantle layer by using a denser mantle material that bonds more effectively to the core, creating a unified energy-transfer system that acts as a single cohesive unit at the moment of impact. This tighter integration pushes the Moment of Inertia (MOI) of the golf ball to levels never before achieved, unlocking explosive ball speed and unbound distance. In testing with Tour staff and amateur players, the 2026 TOUR B lineup produced average gains of 2.3 mph in ball speed and 8.7 yards in overall distance — numbers that translate into real, measurable improvement on the course for players swinging under 105 mph.
The REACTIV iQ Smart Urethane cover is the short-game engine of the TOUR B RX, and its defining characteristic is its ability to respond intelligently to the type of shot being played. On full drives and long approach shots, the cover releases from the clubface efficiently, minimising energy loss and prioritising ball speed. On wedge and pitch shots, however, the same cover adheres to the clubface for a longer duration, increasing friction and generating tour-level spin for maximum precision and stopping power around the green. This dual behaviour is not the result of two different materials, but rather the inherent smart properties of the urethane formulation itself. The cover is manufactured using a proprietary injection-moulded process that eliminates the need for paint, resulting in a perfectly consistent surface and a brilliant white finish that is integral to the ball structure.
Sitting between the REACTIV iQ cover and the central core, the XCLRMT mid layer plays a critical role in the overall performance system of the TOUR B RX. This innovative dense intermediate layer works in tandem with both the core and the cover, amplifying rebound on tee shots for explosive velocity while simultaneously improving control on approach shots by moderating the spin interaction. The Gradational Compression core beneath it is specifically engineered for players with swing speeds under 105 mph: its progressive compression profile means the ball loads and compresses efficiently at moderate impact forces, delivering maximum energy return without requiring a high-speed swing to activate it. Together, these two internal layers create a responsive, layered energy system that makes the TOUR B RX feel both powerful and controllable across all clubs in the bag.
The aerodynamic exterior of the 2026 TOUR B RX has been updated with a new 320-dimple pattern designed to promote a more penetrating, assertive ball flight with reduced drag at impact and through carry. The Dual Dimple technology creates a more efficient trajectory that holds its line even in challenging conditions such as wind or cold temperatures, ensuring consistent distance and accuracy from the tee on every round. The dimple pattern is made possible by Bridgestone's proprietary Seamless Cover Technology, a manufacturing process that produces a perfectly balanced dimple distribution across the entire surface of the ball. Because the white finish is achieved through the urethane formulation itself rather than a painted coating, the surface is both more durable and more aerodynamically consistent — giving the TOUR B RX a reliable, stable flight and a professional appearance that lasts throughout extended play.
