Wilson Deep Red woods have a distinctive and elegant appearance. The large club head mean that Wilson woods are very forgiving to hit and generate exceptional distance.
To decide which Wilson wood is best for you, look for the right combination of loft, shaft material and shaft flex.
Wilson woods - loft
The loft on Wilson drivers range from 7-12 degrees. High lofts hit higher shots and low lofts hit lower shots. Wilson drivers (1 wood) with 9-11 degrees loft are suitable for most golfer. Wilson woods with less loft than 9 degrees are more suitable for low handicap golfers. Golfers with a slower swing will usually hit the ball further using a Wilson driver with a higher loft. The same is true with Wilson fairway woods. The higher the loft the easier to hit the ball but the less distance it goes.
Wilson woods – shaft.
Most tour professionals use graphite shafts in drivers. Wilson woods with graphite shafts hit the ball a little further than woods with steel shafts and dampen the vibration caused when striking the ball. Wilson woods with steel shafts are generally only offered as a special option. Some golfers think Wilson woods with steel shafts offer better feel.
Wilson woods - flex
Wilson woods with regular flex shafts are suitable for most golfers. Wilson woods with a stiff flex provide more accuracy for those with strong or quick swings. Wilson woods with light flex are aimed at golfers with slower swing speeds. The extra whip in a Wilson light flex shaft can be a great help to those who do not hit the ball very far, but will be less accurate for stronger players.
Wilson woods - steel or titanium head?
Titanium is half the weight of steel and more expensive. Its light weight allows Wilson to make bigger heads which have bigger sweet spots. Big headed Wilson drivers are much more forgiving. Even tour players benefit from using titanium headed drivers. Large titanium heads on fairway woods are not as popular. They can be less easy to control when you are playing the ball from the fairway rather than teeing it up
