Bridgestone J40 Cavity Back Used By Matt Kuchar

Matt Kuchar, the 2012 Players Championship winner loves his Bridgestone J40 irons. With the technology that allows Matt to use the same clubs day in and day out, no wonder he enjoys them. Matt had this to say about the Bridgestone J40 irons,

I have a set of clubs that work week in and week out, there is no need to tinker (with my clubs) for me.

So let's a take a look at what Matt Kuchar gets to take with him on the course. The J40 comes with heads that are forged from 1020 carbon steel for an enhanced feel and features a taller face progression for a more Tour like control. The idea behind the technology is to offer versatility from all lies with relief in the toe, heel and leading edge.

Let's get one thing clear, this club isn't intended for the weekend golfer. This club was created for good to very good golfers who are looking to move the ball but at the same time offers some forgiveness for miss-hits. Also, the J40 is not an iron that is going to give you added distance to your shots. From most of the testing on the market, the J40 hit just about your typical distances that you would expect.

The one thing I noticed just when holding the club was how big the head looked for an iron of this calliber, but the club itselt did not feel too heavy. The J40 has a clean classic shape to it and the game improvement features are hidden pretty well so you can fool some of your friends out on the course.

Price: $699, steel (set of six)
