The Scottish open win of Chris Gotterup It was impressive. His ball hit was held in four required rounds, and he entrusted a complete set of Bridgetone 220 MB to do it.
For most golf fans, this may have been a surprise. For me? Just brought everything around full.
Back in January and February, I got deep into the test Bridgetone’s newest forged lining of Bridgetone: 220 MB, 221 CB and 222 CB+. I spent everyone on the monitor, on the bar, and I even joined a combination set that lived in my bag for some full rounds over a few months.

New Bridgetone Premium Forged Irons and Wedges: 5 things to know
Here is the truth: if I were to go to the Bridgetone’s full -time Bridgetone games, that would be the configuration. But I’m also honest about my game, and I need a little more help.
However, this test gave me a mirror tone of how good this formation is for the right player. Here’s what I learned:
220 MB: A blade that made me feel better than I am
I entered the test with an open mind but modest expectation. 220 MB is a true muscle return; Compact, clean, forged in the endo and made for elite attackers. But what I didn’t expect was how movable it really is.
– the narrowest distribution by three heads
– the most stable ball speedEven in mild losses
– Predictable launch and rotation numbers all over the face
– Clean the interaction of the ground and precise control of shot
On the monitor, the numbers spoke themselves. 220 MB had no hottest ball speed, which is not its job, but it was the most repetitive. If you are the type of player who evaluates control and consistency on clean speed, this iron makes a strong case.
My Construction: 220 MB 5-Iron in PW, 221 CB 4-Iron
After testing in and out, I built a combined set that I felt could be seriously movable:
-5-PW in 220 MB For control, feedback and consistency
–4-ihea to 221 cb For a little more help to start it when I needed
It didn’t take much time to see the logic. In the bay, I did not notice a massive abandonment in the MB 4-Iz. But in the course of stronger lies, stronger terrain and real world conditions- the change was noticeable. CB gave me that little lump at the departure and apology that made the 4th more reliable opportunity when the pressure was on.
Impressions on the course: an blade that performs when counting
During the course of many rounds, this combined group was shown in a great way.
Flight and trajectory: The ball flight was exactly what I like: the middle high, stable and neutral start. I could work in both ways easily, and even on windy days, I saw no surprise. These cuffs keep the ball in a string.
Distance control: This was probably the best part of 220 MB. The carried distances were not thrown or moved. Numberdo the number felt predictable, especially from the 7-Hekuri down. I could be aggressive knowing that the ball would start and rotate exactly how it needed me.
Feeling and reaction: Forged in the endo, and it shows. 220 MB is as soft and strong as everything I have tested. This gives you accurate reactions without feeling fierce, even at slight losses. This is the type of things that makes you want to continue hitting balls, just to hear and feel again.
INTERPLAY: Quiet. Fresh. Without excavations. No flatulence of swelling. Soles are formed with purpose – camera, width and relief all feel called for real terrain conditions, not just mattresses. This is what separates an iron “feels good” from a “good play”.

Why aren’t they in the bag yet?
Simple: I’m just not so good!
I’m a strong player at a good pace, but I don’t have my best things every day – and when I don’t do it, I need a little more help than it gives 220 MB. During the test rounds I played, I saw what they could do in capable hands, but I also saw how much I supported in my time and contact to keep things tightly.
If you are an achieved player who does not need technology-driven assistance in every blow, this configuration (220 MB 5-PW, 221 CB 4i) is money. But if you are like me, and you want a little more difference when your oscillation appears at 85 napkins, you may need something a little more by forgiving in full time.
The best blade that most players don’t know
Chris Gotterup, winning with these handcuffs, shows what they are capable of in the right hands, and my testing supported it in a great way. For the skilled ball striker, 220 MB is one of the most stable, best blades in the market. And couples 221 CB with it perfectly to round a clean combination set.
I still don’t have them in the bag. But if I had the game for it? That would be my construction. No doubt.
