[@Traplordsosa]

just realized I have been watching peter for around 3 years and I am not subscribed LOL.

[@That1Carson]

the real question is whether you subscribed after this revelation...

[@Garbox80]

OR, you DID subscribe at some point, but YT has silently unsubscribed you at some point. I know it happened a lot at some point for no apparent reason. I'm 100% sure that I had it happen too (and a few maybes to add), but this was also seen in the comments on many channels. I haven't seen or faced it anymore though, for a year or so.

[@kermitthefragg]

@@Garbox80 how many times can you say "at some point" lmao

[@chrisveness1892]

I've been watching about the same length of time, I am subscribed, and I forgot to sign before watching, so we're going to hell together. The good news is that golf is most people's idea of hell so we'll actually be in heaven.😁 I'm starting to wonder though if Wilson's lower price point comes at the cost of material strength in their construction. I have a C300 driver which, like Pete and the Dynapower, I absolutely love but after a year a playing 3 times a week on average, it had lost an upper and lower power hole infill which I had to fill with black silicone sealant. For the uninitiated, some models including D7s and D9s have urethane inserts around the perimiter that allow the face to flex more on impact, improving distance and forgiveness. A particularly violent swing also accounted for the Fujikura shaft which has since been swapped for an Aldalite shaft and a GP Tour 360 grip + 5 tapes (it's the hockey player in me!). Don't get me wrong, I'm a Wilson fanboy (Launchpad irons and Infinite L putter) and I'd recommend them to anyone but if Dynapower finally gets them back to the big table, maybe they could still stay a little under the competition's pricing but improve the strength at the critical points. Get that right and Wilson could be world beaters again.

[@willywantoknow2563]

Interestingly enough same here.

[@terrybaker9834]

Peter, can you update everyone on Wilson’s reaction to the driver head problem just as you did with the Taylor Made driver issue. Keep up the good work.

[@ryantaub]

This is the content I signed up for. A thorough, scientific, deep dive of your dog. And golf club comparisons.

[@kurtiskyker5582]

It's really great to see Wilson getting more love. Loved the video by the way. Have been saying for some time now that if wilson was just able to sponsor the right player on tour, more things would happen. I don't think Gary Woodland was a loss at all. Very exited about how dynapower is getting so much attention.

[@darrenviney2370]

Wilson are so under-rated. I bought their D9 irons last year and I love them! Great to see them getting the airtime their clubs now deserve

[@9cgx]

I have the CBs from last year. Loved em so much I bought the 2,3,4 irons afterwards. Great clubs. Switched from my titleist 704cb irons I’ve had for years. Triad and duo optix golf balls have also been great. Excited to try this new driver.

[@KC-cu4qp]

Thanks for that Pete! Appreciate you bringing this out and it’s great to see it head to head against the others all out. #wilson!!!

[@jking2093]

Walked in for stealth irons at a fitting walked out with Willson. Absolutely love and half the price!

[@fluffpuckot]

Great to see Wilson making a comeback! Also, those are some really impressive swings Pete, very well done!

[@Caddrel]

I really liked this comparison video. Would definitely be interested in a follow up about what happened to the face and what Wilson responded

[@golf007sd2]

Wilson has stepped up its game Big Time. So much so that, I have the full Wilson Staff CB now in my bag and their wedges! Will have to test drive this driver soon!

[@paultaylor2997]

Ditto and ditto . . . ⛳️🏌‍♂️

[@escos0410]

I’m literally ordering a set tomorrow! Excellent performance, looks and the price is spot on

[@christianericsson4653]

I bought this driver without a fitting just 10,5 with stiff shaft and I am so happy. Thank you Peter for the last video you did on the Wilson.

[@wessims3412]

Pretty awesome! And to think you almost wouldn’t have even considered this one earlier in the year… It’s definitely a snake in the grass and it’s got a mean bite. Love it 👍

[@peterfinchgolf]

Some description 😂

[@kooijbas]

I wouldn't even call it shocking anymore, every video I've seen of the Wilson had nothing but praise for it. I think 9 out of 10 golfers could save 150 and get this.

[@Garbox80]

Maybe not 9/10, if the forgiveness is an issue. All the big brands other than Wilson have been shifting towards forgiveness for a couple of years now (since they weren't going to gain much on ball speed etc. anymore), but obviously Wilson HAD to get it's ball speed and carry on par first. Next revision will probably be more consistent throughout the whole face.

[@patrickdemars852]

I own the C300...absolutely luv them..

[@Huddle_House56]

Most golfers could save money by just not going for the newest driver/clubs. I play a G400 with a HZRDS black smoke. $200 head $50 shaft. If I break it I buy the exact same combo.

[@kooijbas]

@@Huddle_House56 I bought the Epic Speed for 250 in July. Was a store demo. Thing is awesome, incredibly forgiving and I love the sounds. So much better than the Cobra Speedzone Xtreme I had before that. I'm keeping this one for the next years at least.

[@CamillaRTL]

I agree also not many of us average golfers can swing a club that fast 😂

[@russwalters4693]

Been using one since September and I love it! 9 degree head. Canada though so no winter golf. 6-7 rounds plus a few indoors. Glad to hear it exceeded expectations. Great review Pete!

[@simonbishop2006]

When your wife walks in the room & Mr Finch is shouting “that’s massive, that’s massive, get in the hole, GET IN THE HOLE” & you get the stare 😂

[@bluetoughguy]

Man, those were insane numbers! I guessed correct on your Instagram post earlier this week! My wife tried this driver recently and it was pretty hot off the face!

[@michaelknight9230]

Wilson fg tour 100 irons one of the best irons I've ever used and owned and the c300 forged aslo incredible irons glad the drivers are catching up now

[@cameronloveless1751]

C300 Forged are my gamers. Definitely went under the radar that model. Brilliant irons

[@CamMacMastermusic]

You’re cranking that ball out there man !! Kudos !! So sad to see that face cave in though 😮

[@Leftylobber]

LOVE this driver! My buddy bought one and even though I already got my Aerojet LS, I can see myself buying the Carbon Dynapwr

[@cameronloveless1751]

Wow. Big call! (Not having a crack. I’m a massive Wilson fan. Cheers)

[@wayne2069]

I’ve just got into golf and purchased the D9 Forged Irons think I’ve just found the Driver to match, great review Pete

[@matthewshepherd826]

I've had those irons for about 3 months- they are great 👌

[@Coreadrin]

D9 forged are great clubs. I tested them along with some more forgiving mizuno's as I'm debating to stop punishing mysefl wtih MP blades anymore, and they were awesome.

[@Seneale]

Got fitted into D9 forged last week the are the softest clubs I’ve ever hit, the outclassed mizunos when I tried both up against eachother

[@njorgnjorg6057]

Liked the review. Makes me want to try the club. I was wandering why you went with the stealth 2 when your best club was the paradigm. Acc to your data graph that’s was shown in the vid.

[@peterfinchgolf]

Full speed testing and on the course Stealth was huge, pure distance decision

[@jamesprice4640]

The dog being in the video has made my day. More appearances please

[@adblefty]

Glad you did a proper review on this club.

[@Shane55113]

I'll probably give the Wilson a try at the store, thanks Pete

[@evankolar8957]

I’ve been saying this for a few years! Wilson was gonna come back and beat out the top dogs! Hope this goes in the bag! That would be huge for Wilson!

[@Artesia19]

I tried out the Carbon at the PGA store here in Utah, 9 degree head turned down to 8. x-stiff 60g Project-X Black RDX... I fell in love with it. The sound is amazing. I was looking at the Paradym, but I am going to get the Wilson instead.

[@Justin-i1w]

It seems a really good driver and you were hitting it really well, did you find out anymore about the damage to the face ?

[@KaptenInsano]

I have the dynapower titanium, I love it, nowhere near these distances lol but for not touching a club for almost 20 years then getting back into it, I'm happy I bought this driver Forgiving enough and happy with distance while finding my swing again.

[@Iamwrongbut]

So this shows that the dynapower is literally the longest driver on the market!? That’s insane and I’m happy for Ol Willy

[@davidakehurst8197]

Love it! I'm a huge Wilson Staff fan, I have irons and love this review!

[@matthewshepherd826]

Ive got the Wilson D9 Forged irons - absolutely brilliant for the money 👌

[@conalsands4748]

I am definitely looking at these after the summer , change from GIs to D9F will have to read up on cavity back v forged'

[@jamesbrown6372]

Seamless transition into the subscribe prompt. We come for the golf but we stay for the professionalism

[@richdarlowgolf]

Bloody hell Pete that was an absolute bomb! This driver has put a cat amongst the pigeons hasn’t it 👍😂

[@davidbarker9068]

Pete, this driver is an absolute beast. This needs to go in the bag, at least for a few months to get used to it

[@markpaterson6024]

@ 6:30 Wow!! If could manage 2/3 of that club and ball speed consistently I would be a happy fella! On a side note, surely the manufacturer did stress tests at higher speeds to make sure no face deformity would occur right? Great video mate, your killing it with content!

[@davidbarker9068]

In the full speed test, the Dynapower destroys the others. Yes, off the toe and heel, your finding the spin to be all over the place but its the better players driver, so its meant to be hit out the middle, more than often. Hence why they have the titanium model, for the not so better players. Hopefully the face issue, is just a one off issue.

[@pensinfocus]

Yes yes. Driver driver. I'm here for the dog.

[@TimBarnesPolygonPerformance]

I used to love Wilsons gear, always went between them and titleist (used to have a big bertha driver when I was young separately). I love my TSi3 too much still at the moment, I just seem to have more control with it when I really chase after drives with ball speed around 195-200mph.

[@ChrisHermitage]

Tried this at a club fitting today and bought it!

[@kmackenzie2643]

Good vid. Would be good to see the ti version compared against the competition 👍

[@pongopies6101]

Got the 13 degree titanium dynapower, the best driver I’ve ever had,always had Callaways and a stealth of late,but this is better than them all.everyone who has a go with it,bombs it long and straight.only paid £200,for an excellent condition one.wouldn’t advise getting the carbon one thou unless your below a 5 handicap.

[@TheTwoFingeredBullFrog]

I play with wilson launchpad irons, I'm a high handicap beginner. Absolutely love them, so easy to hit consistently. I know they are pretty ugly, but who cares when your enjoying every round. Even play with fairly decent players who love having a few shots with them in a round.

[@chrisveness1892]

Careful there son, you're talking about my ladies too!🤣 When you look at them up close, they are an acquired taste (could they be the world's first Butterface clubs?) but you get used to them quickly and, unless you worry about looks over performance, you wont let it bother you anyway. At address it's only really noticeable on the long irons anyway but they are a superb set for a high handicapper (me too) and really give you the confidence to go for it which is why I love them too. Wilson Smartcore golf balls are equally good value and perform well off LP's. Bizarrely though, I don't particularly fancy the Launchpad 2, I guess she just isn't my type.

[@petesarosy594]

Murph is the best guest appearance on this channel and there have been some greats!

[@JonathanBrazil1]

"Murph, woz ere" 😆That driver is set to shake things up for sure. Very interesting numbers.

[@joeweiner7570]

Longest straightest driver I have played. Love my Carbon Wilson!

[@johnrachcoff6928]

Pete you have to put the wilson in the bag . Use the longest you can before as an elite golfer swinging at 127 mph you have to use the rolled back ball. A great test would be to test the wilson with a pinnacle solf (the ball Titleist think is compliant to the new rule) it would great to put some numbers around distance lost.

[@GolfDuff]

Love the dog! Great video Peter!

[@slightlycrookedworkshop]

I'd like to see a couple videos with average everyday golfers hitting Paradym, Ping Max, Stealth 2, AeroJet and the Wilson. Preferably someone who doesn't hit the ball straight most of the time. Start out with their current driver and then have them hit all these. It's one thing to see you or Rick hit them, it's another to see someone who isn't as good as you hit them.

[@topgunbass]

The outcome would be the same. If a hack slices a callaway he'll slice any other brand. It's cheaper than the rest and it's probably all a hack really needs.

[@TheDeuceMcGoose]

ordered mine 2 months ago. should be here today. best driver ive ever hit.

[@mikeperks1175]

Great looking product from Wilson

[@MrKingdonuts]

HEY Peter can you review the PXG Gen 6 driver's next !!??

[@voice_of_reason5604]

Alternatively, do your research, try before you buy and you'll get a big name, very good condition, fully adjustable 2nd hand driver for under £250. There's plenty to choose from. The pricing of these new clubs is now way beyond totally ridiculous, and the difference between them and what was the latest thing say 3 years ago (or more) is marginal and for me doesn't even begin to justify the cost difference.

[@steveferriday]

I got fitted for the Wilson d7 range 3 years ago I love them the new drivers look great as well

[@scottbutler2761]

Pete at your normal swing speed how accurate was the Wilson . That is more important . Even if few yards shorter but you are hitting it straight is the goal

[@scottsmith8546]

I've had misc. Wilson golf clubs off on for years, but never really considered the Driver????? Till now! Thanks Peter! BTW - Kyle Berkshire has been doing this for Cobra for a few years now.....and Cobra signed him on to destroy their drivers in order to make them better. Maybe Wilson with Peter Finch???

[@iankoch956]

Serious question tho Peter is how a 90-100mph swing works with all the clubs you have tested, I would like to see if the Wilson V Rest still stacks up as most of us don’t swing at 120mph, btw do love your swing (envious to the max)🎉

[@KevDoesStuff]

I am still using the Wilson D7 with no complaints!

[@Vnam72]

Love it. Go on, put it in the bag. You know you want to.....

[@richhannah78]

I know distance is your bag but how do they all compare on dispersion? Great video, really surprising results.

[@midlifebiker7424]

Had Wilson V6 forged irons but they pitted unlike Srixons. I guess you get what you pay for and add in poor residual value not such a good investment.

[@mikedeane7277]

Yes Wilson! Get in my bag!

[@hi-tech55]

Subscribed. Thanks for the vids

[@888Longball]

This club changed my game. I'm so confident off the tee now! So easy to hit. 13.5 degree launch 2200 back spin.

[@terrymccusker7779]

I still play a few rounds with my Deep Red Fat Shaft irons &. Few rounds with my Di9 irons every year… these were great clubs can7 seem to part with them

[@2bNIKEt1]

I have a really hard time with the lack of symmetry in the topline. I also prefer when companies ad a bit of transition between paint and carbon. Mizuno historically has done it the best with the old mp-001 forged driver paint fading into the subtle carbon section, and the newer ST-230 with some thin black lines between the black leading edge of the crown and the carbon. Little thing i know. But i just think it could look better

[@matty4natty]

Wilson’s come thru for sure

[@phinn242]

I love that you went back to this club for a proper comparison, Im kinda getting sick of hearing stealth 2 this and that and after hitting one found it long but VERY unforgiving, definitely going to check this club out tho Im worried about that caving face being a defect and will it be honored for replacement in that circumstance ???

[@lbhunter6341]

I've run through all the new drivers quite thoroughly and the Dynapower arrives next week...it's going in the bag. The Paradym I got too early will likely be donated to a charitable cause. None of the drivers compare to the Wilson...period.

[@cameronloveless1751]

Wow! 😮

[@conalsands4748]

​@@cameronloveless1751I can't find any Ti. Reviews that get as much praise as the carbon , doesnt seem as popular and it's for the average player too

[@lbhunter6341]

Update: I've had the Wilson DP Carbon for four months now...I'm 60 years old...I've driven seven greens on par four holes over 300 yards...the longest was 346...all I can say is, "get one!"

[@spudbuchanan9584]

Being a older player this might be the one. Thanks for your content.

[@spudbuchanan9584]

Just got a scammer text saying I won the Wilson driver you where testing.

[@cottontop99]

Still got Wilson Staff Pi5 irons and love them!!!

[@davidrobbins1936]

Put it in the bag Pete!!!

[@andyphillips4759]

Sheesh.. beast mose activated.. Peter Finch, breaker of clubs!

[@frenchfrench4514]

Your dog is a legend

[@Tenorsaurus]

Keep praising the cheaper clubs each year and force the big brands to release a sister club to the premier drivers at the cheaper price that competes. Prices are out of control and it's great to see so many videos on YT praising the cheaper club. Brilliant ❤

[@denniscai6895]

Nice video... Hopefully it's only manufactured error. Please trybthe pxg gen 6 too. Cheers

[@deanyeomans2505]

The Paradym is the best of 2023 but Stealth is a close second. The Wilson Dynapower is definitely a amazing option tho since it’s half the price with very little performance drop off

[@carl3831]

Out of curiousity when you have an issue like this with the head does the brand reach out to you and ask for the club / head back so they can investigate?

[@cameronloveless1751]

Great question! Hope we get an answer from Pete on that

[@tonypapas9854]

0:53 Poor Murph!!!

[@ryanschultz4119]

You're just an animal, Pete!💪🏼 Dented this Wilslon Dynapower Carbon. Then cracked your TaylorMade Stealth 2.0!?!🤷‍♂️😲 Lol.

[@afoojaprutati6510]

Nice masonry in the background.

[@kevintee7437]

Hi wow what a transformation to their previous drivers. l do hope Wilson send another head so that the faces can be compared. l would buy this driver for sure if the face dose not cave in. Plz up date us Pete.

Would stealth 2 be more forgiving? Or another option?

[@hunterk5565]

Pete, I think I speak for the whole wide world: we want more doggy cameos

[@McLovin1759]

I was looking to see if the tech in my Callaway Rogue was outdated. Reading the Hot List, I thought maybe. So I hit a local store and took my old driver into the simulator. Got some numbers. Hit Titleist (I play their irons), Callaway, TaylorMade, etc, etc. Nothing was much different. A little less spin here, a little more distance there but all in all.. not worth the cash. The tech handed me a Driver and said don’t look at the manufacturer. Just hit it. Wow. 18 yards more distance. Better launch, speed, dispersion… well, everything. I bought it. It’s been in the bag for a couple of rounds and couldn’t be happier. The numbers in the sim are reflected on the course.

[@chase_hanna]

I really wanted to test one of these when the face of my M1 cracked but bought the M4. The price was just too good and can't go wrong with TaylorMade. I've only owned 4 brand new drivers in my life so kinda of a big deal.

[@chrishogan8287]

Hey Peter,, Did you get a response from WILSON after you damaged the face during the origional test

[@toddkobylarz4758]

Wilson never put any money into serious advertising hype like the others. They've been making clubs as good as any other forever. If its good enough for Paddy Harrington, its good enough for anyone, including me. I've been playing FG Tour V2 Irons forever. Wore em out and im gonna get me a set of the D9 forged and one of these drivers for the end stage of my golfing days!

[@kevinparrish4791]

Who are you kidding, TM not going anywhere. 😆

[@wds1127]

would love to see a video on the Srixon Mk II drivers!

[@bobpetit2370]

Peter absolutely loves the driver, but I guarantee it won’t go in the bag. That’s the golfers ego, everybody does it

[@bendagley5402]

Ive got the wilson staff CB model irons, feel just as good as my callaway TCBs did but for half the price! Only thing is they will never hold their value compared to other big brands

[@allenmollitor9188]

Fact the COR has a limit factor of 0.80 of deflection for all drivers. It is the shaft and the ball that make the largest difference

[@giuseppesavaglio8136]

Well, i'm glad to see Wilson is finally getting as much love shown to it as Tom Hanks showed to his pseudo wife.
