About this product
The Bridgestone 242 CB+ iron set is a right-handed, 6-club set (5-PW) featuring Nippon Modus 105 S stiff steel shafts. This model is a cavity back iron designed for a blend of forgiveness and workability. The set is made in Japan and includes clubs from 5-iron to pitching wedge.
Our take
The 242 CB+ aims to offer more forgiveness than a pure blade while retaining shot-shaping ability. The Nippon Modus 105 shafts are lighter than typical stiff steel, potentially aiding swing speed and launch. This set could benefit mid-handicap players who want a player's iron with a bit more help. The 5-PW setup is standard, but the lack of a gap wedge means you'll need to add one separately. The price point is mid-range, reflecting the Japanese craftsmanship. If you're a consistent ball striker seeking a balance of control and playability, this set warrants consideration.
