Shortly after its introduction, Bridgestone Golf’s J33R 460 quickly earned the nickname “Spin Killer” from consumers throughout the U.S. for its ability to dramatically reduce spin for explosive distance. At the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, Bridgestone Golf unveiled its new J38 460 Driver with improved construction for added forgiveness, and the same great low spinning performance for which the J33 woods were known.
Watch the video and learn about the features of the updated line of J38 metal woods from Bridgestone Golf.
The new J38 460 Driver boasts Bridgestone’s proprietary Rigid Sole Design (R.S.D.) Technology providing a firmer sole designed to produce higher launch and lower spin off the tee, with enhanced feel and sound. In addition, the J38 460 features a new Extended Crown Profile from its shallow face for an ever lower and deeper center of gravity, resulting in higher launch and lower spin for longer carry and maximum distance.
The J38 460 utilizes a 6-4 titanium head construction with a thin crown wall section, allowing discretionary weight to be moved to the perimeter for additional forgiveness on mis-hits. In addition, the 460cc head size combines with an enhanced face thickness to provide additional forgiveness and create a higher MOI producing more distance.
“The J38 woods will continue with the heritage of low spinning and high launching heads to maximize distance while expanding the forgiveness across the entire face for more distance on mis-hits,” said Danny Le, Golf Club Marketing Manager – Bridgestone Golf, Inc.
The J38 460 Driver is available in 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 degrees of loft and comes standard with a Fujikura® Motore F1 65 graphite shaft and Golf Pride® grips. Custom shaft and grip options will be available. The Bridgestone J38 460 Driver will feature a street price of $399 (MSRP $449) and will be available at golf specialty stores and green grass retailers nationwide in March 2010.
