New driver = more distance! Worth a look.

Bridgestone J40 Driver-worth a try!

Put a new driver in play today and have to say I am really impressed with it. It's a Bridgestone J40 and although not as popular as the 'main' brands I think it is an excellent piece of kit. Not going to say I was hitting monster drives or state any distances but noticeable increase off the tee-for example just enough to clear the 'hump' that usually blocks my view of the 8th green which made the approach easier and hit fairway on every drive which is unheard of!

I have been recently been playing the irons and a 3+ wood and took the plunge on the driver based on this review:http://www.mygolfspy.com/bridgestone-j40-445cc-driver-review/

Makes a nice sound when struck feel, subtle graphics, black head-all round nice looking IMO. Comes with 2 different head sizes too-I have the slightly smaller headed one. Quite a deep face too which I know some people like. Well worth considering for those of you on the lookout for a new driver.

I saw that review awhile back, based on that tried to find one, 7 pro shops later, AG and other online shops, and even Bridgestone direct (who pointed me to the 7 pro shops above, none of which had any clubs, just balls! coincidentally that's exactly how I felt after searching for 2 days!!

Yep availability seems to be the big problem! I just took a chance on it and so far I'm happy! I had to contact bridgestone direct to get a couple of 6 irons to demo. Where are you based Darth?

I would have thought you'd have no problem getting hold of them in Glasgow but to be fair the only place i have seen them in shops is the Lake District....
I have an e-mail for the North of Scotland distributer if you want it?
