The Takeaway
New for 2016 the Bridgestone JGR driver features an Improved Power Milled Face design for the ultimate combination of low-spin distance and added forgiveness on off–center hits. SpeeDARC technology increases the rigidity of the sole providing an incredibly stable base, resulting in fastball speeds. The 460cc F.A.S.T. (Fast Action Speed Technology) Crown Design increases ball velocities and produces the highest launch angles Bridgestone has ever achieved.
Who's It For?
The JGR driver is for players across the whole handicap spectrum who like the feel of a glued-in shaft design.
Final Take
I found the JGR driver head cosmetically very appealing from all angles. The Yellow colorway highlighted the crown and really framed the ball well at address. I struggled mightily with this head mainly due to the higher loft and what felt like a closed face and very upright lie angle compared to what the specs say. However, the feel was excellent, though unfortunately I could not produce a shot that fit my eye properly, both in ball flight and overall dispersion.
