Bridgestone 2026 Tour B RXS Golf Balls (Dozen)

The 2026 Bridgestone Tour B RXS is a $54.99 three piece urethane ball for swings under 105 mph, the softest and highest spinning ball in the Tour B line.

Why it made the list

Bridgestone splits its Tour B line by swing speed: the X and XS are for drivers over 105 mph, and the RX and RXS are for under 105. The RXS is the softer, higher spinning one of the pair, made for players who want their wedges to stop fast. In MyGolfSpy’s 2026 test of 48 balls, as reported by BallCaddie, it had the 7th highest spin on a 35 yard wedge, 5,848 rpm. For a skilled golfer whose speed has dropped but whose short game is still sharp, that is the reason to pay tour ball money.

What it does well

• The REACTIV iQ urethane cover grips the clubface on short shots for tour level spin and precision around the green.
• VeloSurge core and mantle integration is Bridgestone’s 2026 design for more ball speed off the tee.
• A new 320 dimple pattern is built for a more penetrating flight and more distance, according to Bridgestone’s retail copy.
• Low compression makes it easy to load at moderate swing speeds, with a soft feel through the bag.

Who it’s for

It suits low handicap seniors, women and men who swing under 105 mph and still play a spinning pitch shot, and golfers who want a premium ball fitted to their speed rather than a faster player’s.

Who should skip it

Golfers chasing distance should look elsewhere. The RXS ranked 42nd of 48 for driver distance at 86 mph in MyGolfSpy’s test, about 226 yards. You pay for spin and feel, not yards. Players who lose several balls a round will also find $4.58 a ball hard to justify, and they get most of the distance from a $25 ionomer ball.

Key specs, explained

Compression figures vary by source: Stymie’s catalog lists 60 and BallCaddie about 72, both low for a tour ball. Three piece urethane construction is the classic tour build, with a mantle that keeps long game spin in check and a soft cover that adds spin on short shots. Bridgestone sets the under 105 mph line from its own ball fitting data.

How it compares

The Srixon 2026 Q-Star Tour Golf Balls (Dozen) costs $39.99 and is a cheaper urethane ball for similar speeds. The Callaway 2026 Chrome Soft Golf Balls (Dozen) costs $57.99 and launches higher with a soft feel. The RXS is the spin pick of the three.

Good to know

Bridgestone also sells the RXS with MindSet alignment graphics, and Golf Galaxy offers personalization. In early November Golf Galaxy was running a two dozen for $94.99 offer on Tour B balls. The white 2026 ball is linked here.

Questions about the Tour B RXS

What is the difference between the Tour B RX and RXS?

Both are for swings under 105 mph. The RXS is softer and spins more around the green, and the RX leans toward distance.

What compression is the Tour B RXS?

Bridgestone calls it low compression. Stymie lists 60 and BallCaddie about 72.

Is the Tour B RXS good for seniors?

Yes, for skilled seniors who still score with their wedges. It isn’t a distance ball, so others do better with a cheaper ionomer ball.
