The Bridgestone Tour B XS was originally designed for Tiger Woods so that alone should tell you the quality of this ball. It features what Bridgestone calls a Reactiv iQ smart cover, designed to react to the force of impact and deliver explosive velocity and increased distance. Bridgestone says Reactiv iQ stays on the club face longer on approach shots, providing more spin and a soft feel around the green.

Bridgestone says the Tour B XS is designed for players who swing at speeds over 105mph and require tour-level spin, control and feel around the greens. However, as we noted in testing, this swing speed is only a recommendation from Bridgestone and very much a guideline to provide a starting point for selection. We've had success outside those parameters, and at this price point it's a ball we think is worth trying.

Joe noted of the tee and for long iron shots, the ball speeds were consistent albeit a little bit slower than the Tour B X version, averaging around 1.5 mph slower throughout the bag, saying, "Spin numbers were definitely on the higher side for me throughout my long game testing, with the driver coming in at around 2400 rpm, 7 iron producing approximately 6800 rpm and pitching wedge spinning around 9650 rpm. This predictably produced a significantly greater peak height."

It was around the greens that the Tour B XS shone and Joe said, "I don't know if I have tried a spinnier ball around the greens since the balata days, and I seriously enjoyed my short game session with this ball. Feeling the cover grip on to the club face was a real throwback and the reactions on the greens were exceptional." he added, "The Tour B XS would dig into the green like it was pitching into Velcro, and I felt my technique improving as I could freely and aggressively attack the ball knowing that it wouldn’t get away from me on the first bounce, allowing me to throw the ball further up the green and it check it up obediently."

Summing up his testing, Joe said, "The Tour B XS is sensibly priced and is a ball certainly worth testing for players looking for maximum control around the greens."
