Bridgestone J38
Golf Monthly Verdict

A compact, shallow head ideal for fairway and rough use. This isn’t designed to be a game improvement model but confident players will love the Bridgestone J38's overall look.

The shallow profile of the stainless steel Bridgestone J38 is designed for a low CG and high launch angle. Fitted with a Fujikura Motore shaft and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip.

The classy head design and colour scheme make this an impressive looker but the shallow head means this is not a driver alternative.
