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.
One of the standout features of this wedge is BITING SPIN Hybrid Milling, an advanced face treatment that enhances spin performance in all conditions. This technology combines two essential components:
- Ultra-precise CNC milling creates an optimized groove structure that maximizes friction at impact.
- Picosecond laser processing, a technique that adds micro-textures to the face, further increases friction and enhances spin, even in wet conditions or when hitting out of rough.
This combination ensures maximum spin consistency, allowing golfers to execute shots with greater control and predictability, whether it’s a delicate flop shot or a controlled pitch into the green.
A key addition to the B-Limited BITING SPIN lineup is the full scoreline face option available on the 58-degree model. This design extends the grooves across the entire face, which is particularly useful for toe hits and open-face shots. It ensures optimal spin and control regardless of where the ball makes contact, which is an excellent feature for players who frequently manipulate the clubface for different shot trajectories.
Bridgestone has crafted this wedge using high-grade carbon steel, a material known for its soft feel and ability to provide superior feedback at impact. The result is a responsive wedge, helping players dial in their touch around the greens. Its milled sole design further enhances the club’s soft yet solid feel, ensuring smooth turf interaction and reduced digging.
The B-Limited BITING SPIN Wedge is designed with input from professional players, ensuring a compact, versatile shape that inspires confidence at address. The leading edge sits flush to the turf, promoting clean ball contact, while the optimized sole grind provides versatility for different shot types and lies. Whether playing from tight fairway lies, deep rough, or bunkers, this wedge offers precise turf interaction for maximum shot versatility.
The B-Limited BITING SPIN Wedge isn’t just another wedge—it showcases how advanced milling, laser processing, and materials engineering can transform short-game performance. With Mugen’s motorsports precision and Bridgestone’s golf innovation, this limited-edition release sets a new benchmark in wedge design.
