Bridgestone Tour B RXS Golf ball compression, specs & review
The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is a 72-compression, 3-piece golf ball with a urethane cover, high spin and a low flight. The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is a 3-piece urethane golf ball with gradational core (a core that gets firmer from center to edge) and REACTIV iQ cover (smart cover that adapts to impact speed), optimized for swing speeds under 105 mph to deliver distance, soft feel, and high greenside spin.

Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is a 3-piece urethane golf ball with gradational core (a core that gets firmer from center to edge) and REACTIV iQ cover (smart cover that adapts to impact speed), optimized for swing speeds under 105 mph to deliver distance, soft feel, and high greenside spin.
Who It’s For
The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, low handicap, greenside control, soft feel. In the Bridgestone lineup, the Tour B RXS sits firmer than the Bridgestone e6 Soft and softer than the Bridgestone Tour B RX.
Feel
With a compression of 72 and a urethane cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Driver spin runs mid-pack, and the flight is low: MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test measured peak height 42nd of 48 at 102 mph and 45th at 116 mph. Around the green, the REACTIV iQ cover did its job in that test: 35-yard pitches flew low (launch 45th of 48) and dispersion was 65% tighter than the group average.
Trajectory & Construction
We rate it mid-trajectory, but the robot saw a low one off the driver and a strong 7-iron: second of 48 for 7-iron carry in the 2026 data. The 3-piece build stacks a gradational core, a mantle, and the REACTIV iQ urethane cover, the same recipe as the RX with a softer core. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $54.99 per dozen, it matches the rest of the Tour B line and costs $3 less than a Pro V1. Its 7-iron numbers justify the price more than its driver numbers: 7-iron total ranked 2nd of 48 in the robot data, driver ball speed at 102 mph 42nd.
Buy it if
- You swing under 105 mph and want a softer urethane ball with more wedge spin than the RX.
- Your 7-iron gapping matters; MyGolfSpy measured it second-longest of 48 for 7-iron carry.
- You play into late fall; the 72 core is the softest in the Tour B line and the catalog flags it for cold weather.
Skip it if
- Your drives already curve too much; at 86 mph its driver dispersion was 58% wider than its group average in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compression of the Bridgestone Tour B RXS golf ball?
The Bridgestone Tour B RXS has a compression of about 72, which puts it in the mid-compression range. At 72 it is 17 points softer than the RX and 28 softer than the Tour B X, so it is the Tour B for players who want a quiet feel off the putter without giving up urethane. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.
Who should play the Bridgestone Tour B RXS?
The Bridgestone Tour B RXS is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, low handicap, greenside control, soft feel.
What swing speed is the Bridgestone Tour B RXS designed for?
Bridgestone builds the RXS for swing speeds under 105 mph, pairing the softest Tour B core with the REACTIV iQ cover. Slower swingers get a soft feel and a low ball flight, and MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test found its 7-iron spin 46th of 48, so approach shots fly long rather than checking.
Does the Bridgestone Tour B RXS have high greenside spin?
Yes. It is the high-spin half of the RX/RXS pair, and the robot data ranked its 35-yard wedge spin 7th of 48.
Is the Bridgestone Tour B RXS good in cold weather?
Yes. Its 72-compression core is the softest in the Tour B family and the catalog flags it cold-weather suitable, so it is the Tour B to reach for when the RX or X feels like a rock in cool air.
How much does the Bridgestone Tour B RXS cost?
MSRP is $54.99 per dozen.
