The RXS is the softest of Bridgestone's four 2024 Tour B models, sharing the Gradational Compression Core and Reactiv X cover system with the RX but tuned to an even lower compression for players who want maximum greenside spin without needing extra swing speed to compress the ball. It's aimed squarely at the same sub-105-mph player as the RX, but prioritizes feel and short-game spin over the RX's flatter, more distance-leaning flight.
The softest-feeling ball in the Tour B line off the putter and wedges, with a noticeably cushioned strike; the SlipRes cover adds bite on chips and pitches without feeling mushy off the driver.
Best for moderate-to-slow swing speeds and higher handicaps who want real urethane spin around the greens rather than the flatter distance bias of the RX or the firmer feel of the X models.
Widely stocked at retail so it turns up regularly in used and lake-ball bins at a meaningful discount to Pro V1-tier balls; condition varies since the softer cover scuffs a bit more readily than firmer urethane covers.
Reading is one thing — feeling it off the face is another. Book a bay and hit a sleeve before you buy anywhere.
