Tiger Woods Switches to Bridgestone’s Tour B X Ball

In 2022, Tiger Woods made a significant gear change by switching to Bridgestone’s Tour B X ball. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Woods constantly seeks ways to improve his game. The Tour B X ball offers precisely what he’s been looking for – more distance off the tee and enhanced control around the greens. With a softer cover and an added mid-layer, the new 2024 Tour B X ball has provided Woods with the perfect combination of performance and feel.

The Genesis Invitational Marks Tiger Woods’ First Competitive Round with the Tour B X Ball

The upcoming Genesis Invitational holds even greater significance as it will be Woods’ first competitive round with the 2024 Tour B X ball. After extensive testing at home, Woods is eager to showcase the performance of his new gear on Riviera’s grounds. The transition to the Tour B X was driven by the noticeable improvements it offered, including an additional 10 yards of carry and a lower flight. These enhancements have resulted in Woods needing one less club for approach shots, giving him a competitive edge on the course.

Putting Comes Into Focus

Equipment changes aren’t limited to drivers and golf balls; putters play a crucial role in a golfer’s game too. Justin Thomas, for instance, recently switched putters during a round due to unfavorable playing conditions brought on by cold rain and wind. Although Thomas experimented with an updated version of his trusted Scotty Cameron X5 putter, he ultimately returned to his old faithful. His gaming putter provides him with the comfort and confidence he needs, resulting in improved putting performance.

Cameron Champ Finds his Perfect Putter

Searching for a new putter can be a challenging endeavor, but for Cameron Champ, the journey led him to an old Ping Sigma G head. Champ discovered the perfect union between feel and performance when he tested the putter built for fellow Ping staffer Chandler Phillips. The Sigma G head offered Champ the necessary feedback during the stroke, and after careful adjustments to the swing weight and overall head weight, he found his ideal putting weapon.

Quick-hitters: News and Releases

In other gear-related news, Rickie Fowler revealed a clever reason for etching lines on his driver face, while Wyndham Clark found a winning putter with the assistance of Odyssey Tour reps. Gary Woodland recently made a change to his Cobra Darkspeed driver, and Scotty Cameron released the highly anticipated Phantom T-9 putters on Tour. Additionally, Ping, SuperStroke, and several other manufacturers unveiled limited products for the WM Phoenix Open.
