The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is a tour-level, 3-piece urethane golf ball engineered specifically for golfers with swing speeds under 105 mph who demand maximum greenside spin, a soft feel, and genuine distance gains off the tee. For 2026, Bridgestone has completely reworked the internal construction with the new VeloSurge core-mantle integration technology, delivering a breakthrough in ball speed without sacrificing the control and feel that define the Tour B family. Whether you are firing approach shots into firm greens or executing delicate chips and pitches, the Tour B RXS is built to give moderate swing-speed players a true tour-calibre experience.
The headline innovation for 2026 is VeloSurge — an entirely new internal construction that fundamentally changes how the core and mantle layer interact at impact. By using a denser mantle material, Bridgestone has created better energy transfer between the core and the cover, resulting in a measurable increase in ball speed. Bridgestone reports average gains of 2.3 mph in ball speed and approximately 8.7 yards of distance compared to the previous-generation RXS — a significant jump for a ball already renowned for its performance. Critically, these speed gains are achieved in a lower-compression format, meaning the ball remains incredibly easy to load and compress for players swinging under 105 mph, making the RXS more forgiving and rewarding than ever for moderate swing speeds.
The Reactiv iQ cover is Bridgestone's signature smart urethane technology, drawing on expertise developed in tyre research and development. Unlike a conventional urethane cover, Reactiv iQ reads the force of your swing and adjusts its response accordingly. On full tee shots, the cover firms up to reduce driver spin and promote a cleaner, longer ball flight. On slower-speed shots into the green, it softens and grabs the clubface for longer, generating elevated friction and tour-level greenside spin. For the RXS, Bridgestone has tuned the Reactiv iQ cover to provide an even higher level of friction than the standard RX model, making it the ideal choice for players who prioritise workability and control on approach shots and around the green.
Bridgestone's Dual Dimple technology places a smaller dimple inside each larger dimple on the ball's surface, creating a unique aerodynamic profile that reduces drag during flight. This more efficient trajectory allows the ball to carry further with a stable, penetrating flight path — particularly beneficial for moderate swing-speed players who may struggle to keep the ball in the air with slower ball speeds. The result is extra distance that comes not from raw speed alone, but from a smarter aerodynamic design. Combined with the VeloSurge speed gains, the 2026 Tour B RXS delivers meaningful improvements in carry and total distance compared to its predecessor.
Bridgestone's proprietary injection-moulded urethane manufacturing process eliminates the reliance on paint to achieve the white finish, instead creating a seamlessly balanced cover with a perfectly symmetrical dimple pattern for shot-to-shot consistency. At the heart of the ball is a gradational compression core — softer at the centre and progressively firmer towards the edges — which promotes a soft feel at impact while still generating efficient energy transfer on full shots. Together, the seamless cover and gradational core ensure that every Tour B RXS behaves predictably and consistently, round after round. Bridgestone has also refined the injection moulding process for 2026, which translates to improved durability and a longer lifespan compared to the previous generation.
