AWARD your little golfer the same golf ball you use isn’t doing them any favors; THEREFORE Bridgestone has come up with a fun solution.
The company, in partnership with junior golf club manufacturer and youth golf organization US Kids Golf, is introducing the new Boom It Junior golf ball. The ball is specially optimized with an extremely low compression and a high release dimple pattern to help juniors with slower swing speeds compress it and get maximum hold.
“We take ball fitment very seriously, and with new Golfs growing more than 50 percent since 2019, it makes perfect sense for us to create a ball to meet their needs,” Bridgestone president Dan Murphy said in a release. “Our R&D team focused on the needs of younger players looking for more speed and an easier release, and they knocked it out of the park. I’m confident that younger players will have more fun playing the Boom It Junior because it’s specifically designed to fit their game.”
Bridgestone says the golf ball works for a range of swing speeds, which makes it perfect for one junior golfer who is developing speed as he progresses through the game and grows physically.
The Boom It Junior also features Bridgestone’s MindSet graphic, which was developed by Jason Day and his performance coach, Jason Goldsmith, to separate analytical thinking from athletic performance. Day, along with Chris Gotterup, Kurt Kitayama, and Boo Weekly, all use visual technology in competition at Bridgestone Tour B golf ball.
“We were proud to work alongside the Bridgestone team to help create the Boom It Junior from the ground up, specifically designed to provide young golfers with the distance, feel and performance they need to enjoy every round,” said US Kids Golf President and Founder Dan Van Horn. “Boom It Junior is a golf ball that fulfills the mission of US Kids Golf by supporting growth and a true love of the game.”
Boom It Junior will be available online and to retailers starting out March 27. Each dozen will cost $22.99.
