Wilson Fills Out the Golf Bag in 2009

Wilson Golf has added a variety of clubs to fill out the bags of golfers in 2009, with the introductions of the Smooth driver, Di9 distance irons, Fg59 forged irons and Tw9 wedges.

Smooth Driver

Proprietary variable face thickness is used in the new Smooth driver from Wilson to deliver a larger sweet spot, while weight is moved farther back in the head as loft increased to maximize head stability and improve launch conditions.

Meanwhile, Fujikura E-Fit is designed to offer ideal properties for each flex.

The E100 series shaft in the R2-Flex and R-Flex are geared towards a more relaxed swing with increased flexibility designed to offer higher ball launch with slightly more spin.

The E300 series in the S-Flex and X-Flex are geared for a stronger swing and offer a mid-launch trajectory with lower spin.

Di9 Distance Irons

The new Di9 distance irons feature an integrated design with the objective of generating maximum power, stabilizing the power for straighter flight and to reduce impact vibration for better feel.

A low profile and wide sole lowers the centre of gravity to promote a higher and straighter ball flight for more distance.

Wilson’s wide-tip technology is applied to lightweight shafts from UST and True Temper. The tip is designed to control twisting, while the lightweight shafts are in place to generate more clubhead speed for more distance.

Because many shots are hit from the centre to the toe, the Di9s uses a toe-friendly cavity that extends the sweet spot to the area where the shots are usually hit.

Additionally, a low durometer, vibration-dampening urethane medallion covers the entire length of the cavity to expand the sweet spot over a greater area. The urethane insert is thicker on the heel to serve as a shock trap that reduces vibrations that travel to the hands.

The design of the grips uses blister-free zones under the thumbs and the lower part of the fore finger, while the vertical and horizontal grooves are designed to promote torsional traction for rotation.

Fg59 Forged Irons

Wilson has named these forged offering after the number of major championships won with Staff irons.

The Fg59s feature a wider sole and lower muscle to lower centre of gravity and improve ground interaction. They come with minimal offset for trajectory control and workability, with a mild camber on the sole and a sole relief flange to minimize digging on softer fairways.

The clubhead on the Fg59s is forged from mild carbon steel for a softer feel. The stock shaft is a Dynamic Gold steel with high flex and tour weighting for a penetrating ball flight and better control.

Tw9 Wedges

New lower-lofted cavity back options are designed to bridge the gap between pitching wedge and sand wedge as the Tw9s come in 60, 58, 56, 54 and 52-degree lofts.

With their smaller heads, the Tw9s feature tour-milled grooves that are cut as sharp, deep and wide as United States Golf Association standards allow. A 32.5-degree angle and square edges (compared to 42.5 with rounded edges in many wedges) are used for maximum spin and control.

The elastomeric coating in the milled recessed areas is designed to provide softer impact across the entire face.

The new 48 and 50-degree loft options feature a slightly larger cavity back in a player’s blade shape, but the same tour-milled grooves are in place.
