Di11s Are Next Generation In Wilson’s Distance Quest

Wilson Staff is introducing the newest edition of its “Di” family of distance irons, with modifications and updates in the Di11 iron.

The modified exoskeleton in the Di11 irons pulls weight low to promote a higher ball flight and back from the club face for better head stability and straighter ball flight. The ultra-wide sole is designed to improve turf interaction, allowing it to glide over tight lies and get through heavy rough.

Weight is also removed from the perimeter of the face and inside the cavity towards the heel to create a large, unsupported face. The urethane medallion from the Di9 was removed to pick up weight and replaced by a coating of lightweight elastomer used on the underside of bridges to dampen vibration from traffic.

A wider sweet spot and perimeter weighting, combined with the torsional stability of its wide tip shaft combine in the objective of more forgiveness and greater accuracy. Meanwhile, lightweight shaft options combine with the low, wide head design with the goal of more faster clubhead speed.

Wilson’s patented wide-tip shaft technology is offered on the stock set of Di11 irons to negate the twisting on off-centre hits for straighter, longer ball flight.

Also, the patent-pending Half-and-Half Shaft Technology that is also available was pioneered in baseball bats and features graphite under the grip through the mid-section to remove weight from under the hands and dampen vibration.

Steel is used from the mid-section through the tip to provide low torque and consistency for straighter shots in a 76-gram HNH shaft.

The Di11 irons also has a thinner top line.

“We classify the largest segment of the golfing population as D or distance players, who are looking to hit the ball further and straighter,” said Bob Thurman, global director of research and development for Wilson Golf.

“The Di11 not only meets these needs, it exceeds them. As we like to say: once you hit it, you get it.”
