The Toulon Golf Full CNC Milled Forged Irons (Japan Only)

At the Japan Golf Fair, you can definitely find some gems hidden in the plethora of high-end products on display. One very cool find was the Toulon Japan Full CNC Milled Irons. There were CBs and MBs on display.  

These irons are made by Sasaki Kenma. I have been close with and visiting the Sasaki Factory since 2016, when we collaborated to produce the FULL MILLED SEVEN CB. In fact, I will be visiting them twice more within the next 30 days.

And yes, SEVEN is manufactured at Sasaki Kenma, along with the ultra-rare Callaway X-Prototype (Japan-only irons) and the sleek new Callaway blades you may have recently seen on the PGA tour.

Bridgestone x Mugen: The B-Limited BITING SPIN Full Milled Wedge – A Fusion of Precision Engineering and Golf Innovation

Who is Mugen?

Mugen Motorsports (M-TEC Co., Ltd.) is synonymous with high-performance tuning and engineering in the automotive world. Founded in 1973 by Hirotoshi Honda, the son of Soichiro Honda (the founder of Honda Motor Company), Mugen specializes in tuning Honda vehicles and producing aftermarket parts that push the limits of speed, aerodynamics, and precision. The brand has a decorated history in Formula One, Super GT, and endurance racing, where precision engineering differentiates between victory and defeat.

This obsession with precision and performance makes Mugen an ideal partner for Bridgestone in the development of the BITING SPIN Full Milled Wedge. It ensures that every aspect of its design meets the highest standards in golf club manufacturing.

Full Milled Construction for Unmatched Precision

The Bridgestone B-Limited BITING SPIN Wedge is crafted using a full milling process, meaning that the entire head—including the face, sole, and back—is machine-milled to an extremely tight tolerance. This results in a consistent shape, precise center of gravity (CG) positioning, and a uniform surface that maximizes spin and control. Unlike traditional cast wedges, which may have minor variations due to the manufacturing process, fully milled wedges provide unparalleled consistency in feel and performance.
