The Tour B RX anchors the softer half of Bridgestone's 2024 Tour B redesign, built around a Gradational Compression Core that runs soft in the center and firms up toward the cover, paired with a new firmer XCLRNT mid-layer under a second-generation Reactiv IQ urethane cover. Bridgestone markets the whole four-ball Tour B family by swing speed rather than by tour pedigree, and the RX sits as the distance-oriented option for players under roughly 105 mph. It replaced the prior X-RX naming as part of a full relaunch rather than a minor spec tweak.
Firmer than it looks on paper for a sub-100-compression ball — the XCLRNT layer gives a crisper, more solid strike off the driver than older soft Bridgestones, while the urethane cover still grabs enough on wedges to check up on firm greens.
Built for swing speeds under about 105 mph who want a urethane ball that still carries; faster swingers will find more of the Tour B family's spin and control in the X or RXS.
Common enough in recycled-ball bins given Bridgestone's broad retail distribution, though the 2024 relaunch means older X-RX stock still circulates alongside it at a discount — worth checking the stamped year before buying in bulk.
Reading is one thing — feeling it off the face is another. Book a bay and hit a sleeve before you buy anywhere.
