Engineered for players who demand total control over every shot. The Bridgestone TOUR B XS golf balls are designed for golfers with swing speeds over 105 mph who require tour-level spin, control, and greenside feel. Powered by the revolutionary REACTIV iQ Urethane Cover — a smart material that adapts to the force of impact — the TOUR B XS delivers explosive distance off the tee and exceptional spin and soft feel on approach shots and around the green. This is the ball co-developed with Tiger Woods, refined through rigorous R&D collaboration to perfect the transition between the long game and the short game.
Ideal for experienced, low-handicap golfers with higher swing speeds who are looking for a softer tour ball offering maximum spin, outstanding feel, and serious distance — the same ball trusted and played by Tiger Woods in professional competition.
The REACTIV iQ cover is the centrepiece of the TOUR B XS and the technology that makes it truly intelligent. This proprietary smart urethane uses impact modifiers that allow the cover material to behave differently depending on the speed and force of the shot being played. On faster, high-energy impacts — such as driver and long iron shots — REACTIV iQ behaves like a firmer material, snapping back quickly for maximum ball speed, reduced spin, and explosive distance. On slower, more precise impacts — short irons, wedges, and chips around the green — the cover stays in contact with the clubface for longer, generating increased spin, soft feel, and the precision touch that tour players demand. This dual-mode performance in a single cover material is what sets the TOUR B XS apart from conventional tour balls.
At the heart of the TOUR B XS is the Gradational Compression core — a sophisticated multi-layer core design that transitions from a softer centre to a progressively firmer outer zone. This graduation in compression optimises energy transfer from club to ball, producing higher initial ball speeds and significantly reduced side spin off the driver. The result is a ball that launches with authority and holds its line through the air, giving faster swingers the distance and accuracy gains they need. The core works in harmony with the REACTIV iQ cover and the Dual Dimple aerodynamics to create a complete performance package from tee to green.
Bridgestone's 330 Dual Dimple design features a unique two-tier dimple structure: a shallower inner dimple is precision-engineered inside a deeper outer dimple across all 330 dimples on the ball's surface. This combination works by reducing aerodynamic drag during the ball's initial high-speed flight phase, allowing it to travel farther with a more penetrating, efficient trajectory. As the ball slows and begins its descent, the dimple geometry promotes a steeper drop angle for improved stopping power on approach shots. The result is extra distance without sacrificing control — a critical balance for low-handicap players competing at tour level.
Bridgestone's Seamless Cover Technology uses an advanced injection moulding process to eliminate the seam inconsistencies found in traditionally manufactured golf balls. By creating a perfectly symmetrical dimple pattern with no seam interruption, the TOUR B XS achieves a more aerodynamically balanced cover that promotes consistent, straight flight on every shot regardless of ball orientation at address. This precision manufacturing process directly translates into improved shot-to-shot repeatability — a crucial advantage for golfers who depend on reliable, predictable ball flight in competition.
The Bridgestone TOUR B XS is the product of an exceptionally close collaboration between Bridgestone's R&D engineers and brand ambassador Tiger Woods. Tiger played an active role in the development and fine-tuning of the ball, with specific attention paid to optimising the transition between the power of the long game and the precision required for scoring around the green. Following rigorous on-course testing, it was determined that the TOUR B XS provided Tiger with the optimal balance of distance, control, and consistency. The ball is played by Tiger Woods in professional competition and carries his direct input in every layer of its construction.
The three-piece construction of the TOUR B XS is specifically calibrated for the higher-swing-speed player who refuses to compromise between distance and feel. The soft urethane outer cover provides the tactile feedback and spin performance expected of a premium tour ball, while the mid-layer and Gradational Compression core work together to ensure that none of the generated power is lost at impact. Around the green, the softer urethane translates into a buttery, responsive feel through wedge shots, chips, and putts — giving low-handicap players the confidence and control they need when it matters most.
