Long game
Driver spin sits at the high end of the retained cohort, while trajectory and distance are low. The source notes that low apex constrained this tester’s carry despite the ball’s speed potential.
2026 VeloSurge generation
TOUR B XS
Bridgestone positions TOUR B XS as the softer, more spin-focused option beside X. The reviewed human test showed high driver spin but low flight, so spin alone did not deliver extra carry.
