The new Bridgestone Golf J33 Black Satin Forged Wedges are forged from 1020 mild carbon steel for soft feel on finesse shots, company officials said, and also feature U-grooves for maximizing spin and control on approach shots. To ensure greater workability from the wedges, Bridgestone said it designed the Black Satin wedges like the original J33 Forged Wedges, with an optimum "Tour" head size and shape. In addition, the company uses a double cut sole design to provide golfers with the ability to effectively use the wedges from a variety of sand and turf conditions. One of the most unique features of the Bridgestone J33 Forged Wedges, according to Bridgestone, is the long hosel, which is used to raise the center of gravity and produce a high-spin, low-trajectory shot for optimum control. Like all of the J33 Forged series of products, Bridgestone said, the Black Satin wedges have been designed with a leading edge grind to reducing digging. The softened leading edge, according to Bridgestone, helps to make the irons more playable from various turf conditions. The J33 Black Satin Forged Wedges will be available this fall in a gap wedge (52-degree), sand wedge (56-degree) and lob wedge (60-degree) and will come standard with a True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shaft. The clubs also feature a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and will carry a suggested retail price of $159 each. Copyright 2005 PGA.com. All rights reserved.
