It's great so see Wilson dedicating themselves to improving their woods. It's no secret that their irons are great, but the woods have been lacking until recently. Since their efforts with Driver vs Driver, you can tell they're trying to up their game, and it's great to see. I love brands like Wilson and Cobra offer the same/better performance for less money.

I get why Wilson came out with this driver a lot of new players or high handicappers aren’t worried about driving a ball 300 yards plus, there worried about the severe hooks & all that fun stuff that comes with a driver and I think Wilson knocked it out of the park with this. Not to many adjustments to get confused with it’s a buy this club and go hit the local driving range up and smash some balls and get used to using a driver. When I first got into golf I absolutely hated my driver or any driver for that mattter, if I hit a ball straight 200 yards I marked it down on my calendar that’s how rare it was. On long par 5’s I would not even touch the thing I’d go hybrid 3 drill the ball 250 yards then do it again. If you’re just getting into golf don’t go buy the most expensive club thinking it will be the be all end all or think it will make you as good as rick because sadly it won’t.

It’s good to see some brands reviewed that aren’t so expensive. I love my new Tour Edge EXS 220 and paid just $250 for it! It doesn’t make sense for me as an amateur golfer who is not wealthy to spend $500+ on the bing name brands that will offer little by way of improved performance. A fitter recently tried to sell me a titleist driver with a fujikura shaft for $1,000 which is ridiculous to me. If I want to spend more on golf I’ll spend it on greens fees, lessons, or apparel.

The grip that came on it only weighs about 25 grams. Never thought I’d feel the difference in the weight of a grip. I’m just not looking to spend 500-600 on a driver. For literally same results.

It feels as if the clubface wants to hit the ball straight, so not the driver for massive shaping and I am more than happy with that 😊. It feels rock solid and seems to have a high MOI, so not a lot of twisting on bad hits. Tested it against my Cobra Ltd. X LS and the Wilson D9 is much more consistent and not shorter than the Cobra driver. Well done Wilson 🤩👍🏻

I think we buy the big brands not only due to tons of advertising, but because they are tried and true not only professionally but by amateurs. Big brands put tons of money into their design and technology. Wilson has the $$ for top tech and design, to pay for tons of advertisement and to pay more pro players but they don't. Why? It's a legit question Wilson should ask themselves. There are tons of pros that can play ANY driver they want, (not most, but many) but they do not ever choose Wilson. Why? I think I know the answer, but I am curious as to what others think why. Wilson holds themselves behind. The name is there, but the tech, design, etc has NOT been there for decades. Since Palmer, Nicklaus, Sneed, etc. That is waaaaay too long.

Even though I play fitted Callaway irons and Mizuno hybrid/woods/driver nowadays, my very first set of irons was from Wilson and they were amazing! I still have them, and loan them to friends when they come to visit and want to play a round with me. (I don't live in my native country, so this happened very regularly prior to Covid). Wilson was part of my journey of starting and falling in love with golf, and I can only recommend people to test them out themselves, once public testing-days start again. Whenever someone asks me what beginners-set of irons to go for, I don't hesitate to mention Wilson. I'd really like to test this driver now, so if anyone asks for a great valued-driver, I can point them to this one. For that I will have to have tested it myself though, so i am really looking forward to this.

I spent £300 on my Callaway driver in 2016 and even at the time I thought that was quite a bit to be spending. It's crazy how much golf clubs have increased in price since then and I'm not convinced that it's anything more than the major brands testing the limits of what people are willing to pay, so brands like Wilson and Cobra who are offering clubs at a slightly lower price are definitely appreciated.

Good review, thanks. I’ve just bought the same driver as tested, brand new for £199 and the 3 wood for £129. At that price point it’s a very compelling option vs a top 4 brand.

Remember when drivers were "NOT" adjustable at all. I think we need to get back to that. Companies need to spend less money in R&D on how to fix golfers. Golfers who lets just say "suck" should put money into lessons instead of companies forcing us to shell out more for a club that has more moving parts than a transformer. Kudos to wilson for making a classic driver that works just fine. Ill be sticking with my Cobra for now though. Good video.

All of the pro fitters push the big names as well. Wilson Staff has always made quality clubs. At one time many tour pros played Wilson Staff Irons. They don't pay for sponsorships, (at least I don't think so) so nobody plays them now.

I’m firmly in the “don’t want adjustment” on my driver camp. I currently play with a Mizuno MP650 10.5 deg and prior to that TM ones none of which were adjustable, I just like to know with a mishit/bad shot that it’s my fault rather than a set up or failing play to the set up. to A weight I could put up with. The price too of most new drivers currently available on the market is without a doubt a reason this Staff model will be a great option for most.

I worked for a massive golfer retailer in Canada. And I can tell you, the Wilson products performed incredibly well. They were tough to sell, even if people hit them further and straighter, they’d opt for a way more expensive option. Always confused me as to why such an iconic golfing brand is scoffed at these days.

Wilson has been stepping up their game with some great products lately. Their Launchpads compete with Cleveland Launchers, and their putters have been amazing the last few years. They are quickly becoming a good beginner option to make an affordable, forgiving set of clubs.
