Bridgestone J38

Golf Monthly Verdict

A classy looking club that came into its own when it came to opening the face for lob shots and bunker play. Feel off the Bridgestone J38 Black Oxide face is also impressive.

Made with conforming U-grooves, the Bridgestone J38 Black Oxide wedge is made from mild carbon steel and the face is CNC milled.

The unusual finish catches the eye but there is only one bounce option in each loft.
