Through Bridgestone Golf’s proprietary C.A.D. process, the J38 Black Oxide Wedges offer unrivaled precision shaping, replicating that of many hand-ground TOUR-level wedges. Using this C.A.D. process Bridgestone Golf has created Variable Bounce Technology (VBT). The VBT sole is created with less bounce on the heel and toe of the wedges, providing more versatility for opened and closed face shots, and additional relief from difficult lies.

The J38 Black Oxide Wedges will feature conforming U-Grooves to meet the Condition of Competition with a CNC milled face for consistency in distance control and additional spin on shorter shots around the green. They are constructed of 8620 mild carbon steel and heat-treated for a softer, yet more solid feel at impact. The J38 wedges are coated with a unique black oxide finish that will further enhance the feel and provide greater feedback.

“Within the constraints of the new groove regulation for Professional play, our engineers have been able to push the limit and provide a product that our PGA Staff have been able to switch over to immediately” said Danny Le, Golf Club Marketing Manager, Bridgestone Golf, Inc.

The J38 Black Oxide Wedges are available in 52°, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60° of loft and come standard with True Temper® Dynamic Gold® shafts. The clubs also feature Golf Pride® Tour Velvet grips. Custom options for grips and shafts are available.
