Bridgestone j33r vs Tourstage Xdrive405.

I have the XD2 340w/M65 & 405w/axiv and also the Bridgestone J33Rw/NV.

You guys may think I'm bias but the difference is night and day. Looking down at it the XD2 it has a more pear shape hiding its size very well, when looking at the face, the toe side of the J33 is too rounded IMO and just doesn't look as aggressive. It has what I call the Synergy toe. Just overall the club looks less expensive. Hope I offend none.

Turbo Rubber?... anyone ever wonder if this stuff works? It Truly does, Huge difference in grips with Turbo rubber than not. It just feels lighter at impact as if the ball isn't there. In the head it sends what I would call a light feel to well struck shots. If you enjoy the Tourstage F-UT try the ViQ version its pretty much the same except with turbo rubber plugs and tungsten. Turbo rubber has allowed Tourstage to stop foaming their Driver heads and add a mute feel to almost any club even irons. :surprise: Its in the head and in the grip now.

The XD2 is better in every way except forgiveness. The J33R isn't geared toward the same player, I think it was made for the average golfer where as the X-Drive2 is made for IMO a single digit golfer.

Any other X-Drive players who have hit the J33P or R?

I have had the J340, the X390 (and all of the Tour TMs, Pings, Miz, etc...)and now the J33R w/ stiff Pro 95. The J33R IMO is as solid feeling as the fabled J340 but much more forgiving and longer - the head is just drop-dead gorgeous. It compares very well my Cleveland Tour Comp w/ stiff Diamana 83cx - I could play the J33R every day and be quite happy! If the XD2 is better feeling than the J33R then it is quite a stick - gotta get one for comparison!!!
