Bridgestone Golf has today announced a lineup of forged irons and wedges. Each model is forged from ultra-premium materials in Japan and is aimed at players who appreciate the look, feel, and performance of traditional designs, according to the company.

To ensure the highest possible quality and consistency from iron to iron, Bridgestone Golf partnered with legendary Endo Manufacturing in Japan’s metalworking capital.

“Historically the Bridgestone brand has been synonymous with best in class forged irons that are built to exacting standards, and this product continues that tradition. This family of irons can fit the best players in the world as well as amateurs and has already been in play at the tour level. Each one of the sets delivers the perfect balance of launch and spin for maximum performance for various player profiles.” – Elliot Mellow, Marketing Manager, Bridgestone Golf

Bridgestone’s family of irons is comprised of the 220 MB, the 221 CB, and the 222 CB+.

2024 Bridgestone irons

Bridgestone 220 MB

A traditional muscleback iron with aprecise Tour Groove Design in design for consistent spin rates, this iron is aimed at professionals and competitive amateurs looking for the most exacting performance possible.

Bridgestone 221 CB

Like the 220 MB, the 221 CB also features a one-piece, premium forged construction but with the addition of a small cavity for a slightly higher MOI, a widened heel thickness in design for enhanced stability, and sharp leading and trailing edges for smoother turf interaction.

The 221 CB also features a dual pocket cavity design in the 4- and 5-irons, creating a lower center of gravity in design for improved trajectory and a steeper angle of descent on approach shots. The 6-PW in the CB set are constructed with varying CG locations for optimal spin rates due to a Gravity Control design that places more mass in critical locations in the clubhead.

Bridgestone 222 CB+

The 222 CB+, the most forgiving of the three models, features a dual pocket cavity design throughout the set that lowers the CG in design for easier launch, added forgiveness, and higher trajectory shots.

A slightly thicker area in the center of the clubhead helps dampen vibration for improved feel at impact, while a wider sole allows the clubhead to slide through the turf with less digging. Like the CB, the CB+ also features a Gravity Control design to promote optimal spin rates throughout the set for improved control and stopping power on the greens.

Bridgestone BRM2 wedges

In addition to the irons, Bridgestone is offering new BRM2 wedges that are also forged from premium materials in Japan.

Available in 52-, 56-, and 58-degree lofts, the new wedges feature an innovative milled groove design with an aggressive pattern inspired by Bridgestone Tire’s tread technology.

The new BRM2 wedges also offer a choice of two sole designs, the M, which is aimed at players who play a wide variety of shots around the greens that require an open clubface, and the A, which has slightly more bounce and is best for players who play both square and open face shots.

2024 Bridgestone irons, wedges: Price & availability

The 220 MB and 221 CB are available in 4-PW ($1,050) with Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 steel shafts while the 222 CB+ is available in 5-PW ($900) with Nippon PN.S. Pro 950 GH steel shafts.

BRM2 wedges come standard with Nippon N.S. Pro Modus3 Tour 120 steel shafts in 52-, 56-, and 58-degree lofts in the M-Grind and only 58-degree loft in the A-Grind.

Owing to Bridgestone’s belief in the importance of fitting, new 220, 221 CB, and 222 CB+ irons and BRM2 wedges will initially only be available at Club Champion.
