Bridgestone Golf Launches Full-Titanium BX1, BX2 Drivers for Korean Market

Bridgestone Golf is launching its new BX1 and BX2 drivers. While the global models use carbon materials, the Korean-market drivers feature full-titanium construction.

This is the core element of the "Korean-spec driver" requested by Seokgyo Corporation, Bridgestone Golf's exclusive distributor in Korea. Full-titanium materials have higher production costs but offer superior durability. "Driver durability is directly linked not only to golfer safety but also to the time customers spend on after-sales service," Seokgyo Corporation explained. "In terms of performance, the clubs can be used for a long time without degradation and deliver the crisp feel and sound that Korean golfers prefer."

The face incorporates Bridgestone Golf's specialized technology utilizing tire safety innovations. Through Bridgestone Golf's signature "science of contact," the company applied "Slipless Bite Milling" technology that maximizes spin control at the moment of impact between club and ball. This technology uses precision laser processing to carve fine grooves based on impact points, enhancing ball friction. This maintains low spin while generating high ball speed, delivering exceptional distance performance. The off-center area features a tire-inspired tread pattern that creates strong friction to compensate for mis-hits.

The BX1 driver is designed for golfers who prioritize control. It features a strong trajectory, low spin, and workability. The BX2 driver is designed to maximize distance. It features a mid-high trajectory, low spin, and draw-biased design for high forgiveness.
