Wilson had a tv show in America where they had a contest for amateurs designer/engineers to design a driver. They all went through the full development process and the winner got their driver produced. In the second season, a college student finished 2nd but they offered him a job after he graduated.

My grandmother was a cook in cafeteria in Wilson plant just outside Chicago in the '60s and on my 10th birthday I received a Sam Snead junior set. 1 & 3 woods, 3, 5, 7 9 irons and putter. Also have had goose neck, fluid feel and others thru the years. Have D200's now.

I've been a Callaway diehard for no real reason other than I tried them first after my first package set. I recently purchased both a Cleveland 3 Wood (can't remember which) and a Wilson Launchpad (2022) after using a TaylorMade RBZ 3HL for a while. I can't wait to see how I hit it!
@TheDoozie432 жыл бұрын
My driver choices were down to this and the rad speed xb. Went with the latter and love it because it hit a bit further. D9 was great though! I have a set of di7 fat shaft irons as my back up set and they aren’t going anywhere. Sooooo easy to hit.

Great review Al, taken the creativity and kookiness to a whole new level! 😂 👍 I gamed D7 driver for a while and was able to hit a few over 320 yards. Felt amazing out of the middle, but was not very forgiving. Biggest issue for me with Wilson’s recent drivers is the glued hosel and not being able to change the loft & lie setup if you’re working on your swing and things change

I bought a new Wilson Cortex driver a while back about six months after it's launch. Got it for $160, about $300 less than original asking price. After playing around with its settings I found it to be as long and straight as drivers costing hundreds more. It's the archer, not the arrow in most cases.

I used this driver for the last 2 years and its brilliant. No problems finding fairways and long with this club. I loved it but unfortunately the shaft broke. I emailed Wilson and they sent me the Dynapower carbon. That's fantastic customer service. Both of these drivers shoot absolute missiles. I have hit every big name driver this year and do not sleep on wilson they are as good as the rest on the course. Right now the Dynapower carbon is $299. No better deal in golf right now.
