Bridgestone reenters the iron market with three new forged offerings all produced in Japan by the well-known Endo Manufacturing company. Bridgestone had the reputation in the past of high performance irons and though they have not had any at retail for several years the latest appear to follow on the earlier Tour-B model.
Company president Dan Murphy said of the introduction, “We are very excited to be back in the club market with premium Japanese forged offerings that are true to the Bridgestone legacy of Tour-quality equipment. And the new irons and wedges round out our full line of premium products including golf balls and accessories very nicely.”
Murphy continued, “For now, we’re taking a scaled approach to clubs, focusing on premium irons and wedges with a heavy emphasis on fitting and customization. We have always believed strongly in golf ball fitting and the importance of playing optimized equipment. We’re taking the same approach with clubs and encourage anyone interested in our premium forgings to take the time to get fit.”
