Four Bridgestone models were included in the 2025 MyGolfSpy Golf Ball Test: TOUR B X, TOUR B XS, TOUR B RX and TOUR B RXS. Across driver, 7-iron and wedge testing, each model showed a distinct performance profile.
Instead of ranking the Bridgestone lineup from best to worst, the 2025 data is more useful when viewed by performance needs. If you are looking for a specific outcome from your golf ball, here is how the Bridgestone TOUR B lineup breaks down based on the test results.
If you want maximum greenside spin and short-game control: Bridgestone TOUR B XS
The 2025 test data separates TOUR B XS as the highest-spin option in the Bridgestone lineup.
In the 35-yard wedge test, TOUR B XS produced some of the highest spin rates in the entire field. It was classified as a high-spin top choice for faster swing-speed golfers.
Through the irons, TOUR B XS showed a lower flight profile compared to other urethane options. That combination of lower flight with higher spin can benefit golfers who want predictable launch and reliable stopping power.
If you want distance without giving up spin through the bag: Bridgestone TOUR B X
For high swing-speed golfers, the TOUR B X was among the longest balls off the tee. It was also identified as an option for golfers seeking distance paired with higher spin rates. Many of the other distance-focused models in the test were lower spinning.
The TOUR B X does not rely solely on ultra-low spin to generate distance. Instead, it maintains a spin profile that remains playable on approach shots.
TOUR B X fits golfers who want distance with a flatter flight while maintaining usable spin on approach shots.
If you want a balanced Bridgestone option from tee to green: Bridgestone TOUR B RX
Among the four Bridgestone models tested, TOUR B RX showed the most neutral performance across multiple swing speeds. If you’re new to Bridgestone golf balls and want to try something, this would be the place to start.
At mid swing speed, RX sat closer to the middle of the distance table rather than chasing the firm, low-spin end of the spectrum. In high swing-speed iron testing, it paired solid distance with a higher flight, which can help with carry and stopping power on approach shots.
RX also appeared as a mid-spin top pick for low swing speed.
The TOUR B RX fits golfers who want predictable tee-to-green performance without building their ball choice around extreme spin, flight or feel characteristics.
If you fight a slice or want lower driver spin with a urethane cover: Bridgestone TOUR B RXS
The TOUR B RXS fell into the lower spin group at both mid and low swing speeds with the driver.
In the “Best Golf Balls 2025” results, TOUR B RXS was selected as the best if you slice based on that lower driver spin tendency. It’s still a urethane cover ball so it provides more greenside control than ionomer options that also produce lower driver spin.
Final thoughts
The data shows clear separation within Bridgestone’s TOUR B lineup. If you want more specific details on spin rates, launch, carry, etc., check out the results of the 2025 Golf Ball test.

Bridgestone just announced new versions of the Tour B lineup with what they are calling VeloSurge (core/mantle technology). The net result is improved ball speed, distance, and overall performance across the lineup. Doesn’t that make this article a little dated? We’ll have to wait until the 2026 MGS Ball Test to see how the new balls perform and if there is marked improvement in their performance vs. the prior generation.
