Bridgestone unveils new lineup of classic forged irons and wedges
Bridgestone Golf has today announced a lineup of forged irons and wedges. Each model is forged from ultra-premium materials in Japan and is aimed at players who appreciate the look, feel, and performance of traditional designs, according to the company.
To ensure the highest possible quality and consistency from iron to iron, Bridgestone Golf partnered with legendary Endo Manufacturing in Japan’s metalworking capital.
“Historically the Bridgestone brand has been synonymous with best in class forged irons that are built to exacting standards, and this product continues that tradition. This family of irons can fit the best players in the world as well as amateurs and has already been in play at the tour level. Each one of the sets delivers the perfect balance of launch and spin for maximum performance for various player profiles.” – Elliot Mellow, Marketing Manager, Bridgestone Golf
Bridgestone’s family of irons is comprised of the 220 MB, the 221 CB, and the 222 CB+.
2024 Bridgestone irons
Bridgestone 220 MB

A traditional muscleback iron with aprecise Tour Groove Design in design for consistent spin rates, this iron is aimed at professionals and competitive amateurs looking for the most exacting performance possible.

Bridgestone 221 CB

Like the 220 MB, the 221 CB also features a one-piece, premium forged construction but with the addition of a small cavity for a slightly higher MOI, a widened heel thickness in design for enhanced stability, and sharp leading and trailing edges for smoother turf interaction.

The 221 CB also features a dual pocket cavity design in the 4- and 5-irons, creating a lower center of gravity in design for improved trajectory and a steeper angle of descent on approach shots. The 6-PW in the CB set are constructed with varying CG locations for optimal spin rates due to a Gravity Control design that places more mass in critical locations in the clubhead.
Bridgestone 222 CB+

The 222 CB+, the most forgiving of the three models, features a dual pocket cavity design throughout the set that lowers the CG in design for easier launch, added forgiveness, and higher trajectory shots.

A slightly thicker area in the center of the clubhead helps dampen vibration for improved feel at impact, while a wider sole allows the clubhead to slide through the turf with less digging. Like the CB, the CB+ also features a Gravity Control design to promote optimal spin rates throughout the set for improved control and stopping power on the greens.
Bridgestone BRM2 wedges

In addition to the irons, Bridgestone is offering new BRM2 wedges that are also forged from premium materials in Japan.
Available in 52-, 56-, and 58-degree lofts, the new wedges feature an innovative milled groove design with an aggressive pattern inspired by Bridgestone Tire’s tread technology.
The new BRM2 wedges also offer a choice of two sole designs, the M, which is aimed at players who play a wide variety of shots around the greens that require an open clubface, and the A, which has slightly more bounce and is best for players who play both square and open face shots.
2024 Bridgestone irons, wedges: Price & availability
The 220 MB and 221 CB are available in 4-PW ($1,050) with Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 steel shafts while the 222 CB+ is available in 5-PW ($900) with Nippon PN.S. Pro 950 GH steel shafts.
BRM2 wedges come standard with Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 steel shafts in 52-, 56-, and 58-degree lofts in the M-Grind and only 58-degree loft in the A-Grind.
Owing to Bridgestone’s belief in the importance of fitting, new 220, 221 CB, and 222 CB+ irons and BRM2 wedges will initially only be available at Club Champion.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

I was able to snag a used set of the 222 CB+ and they are awesome.
Feel, look, sounds, all premium. I just do not get along with Modus 120s.
Otherwise amazing BStone irons like we remember in decades past.

Don’t expect to pay MSRP at Club Champion! They will figure out a way to upgrade something…

I live in Canada and in my 24 years of playing the game I’ve never seen Bridgestone clubs sold retail here. Balls aren’t a problem though.
