Soft as hell,sexy looks, great player lines and forgiving grinds make for a perfect first look for these Bridgestone J40 irons. Not many around but if you can find one to demo take the time. They are worth it. I wrote in another thread... Played a round with the forged cb's today and they have the feel I was hoping for. Looks are sick. Very classy and understated badging adds to the purity and stealth look in the bag. Sole design is very forgiving. Big camber front to back and very little heel to toe.
I liked them a lot. I could see them in the bag no problem and now thinking the wedges might look good in the bag to. Honeymoon though. I will put some road time and get back.

J40 Forged Cavity Back
The J40 Forged Cavity Back irons offer the ultimate balance between form and function. The J40 Forged CB's striking good looks and clean traditional design is tailor made for better players who prefer a classy no-frills look and thin topline at address. The J40 Forged Cavity Back irons key design features include:
· compact head with higher face progression for a mid-height launch
· unique v-cut cavity design that places more mass higher on the clubface for a higher center of gravity, resulting in a more controllable, penetrating ball-flight
· tapered sole-design for more versatility in shot making, allowing players to ‘work the ball’ and more easily control trajectory
· enhanced trailing edge relief for better performance from a variety of lies, especially out of the rough
“With the J40s, we now offer even better performance and cleaner aesthetics. The J40 series truly reaffirms that Bridgestone is THE brand of choice for premium iron enthusiasts,” said Consuegra.
Both sets of the J40 irons are premium forged from 1020 mild carbon steel for the ultimate in soft feel and feature conforming grooves for optimum distance and spin control. The new J40 irons come standard with the Tour-proven Project XTM flighted shafts. Both come standard in a set of 5-pw and feature a street price of $699 (MSRP $799). An additional 3-iron and 4-iron will be available upon request ($115 per club).
