Wilson Staff DXi Fairway Wood Review

Today’s Golfer Fairway Wood Test 2011

Tested: August 2011
Testing panel:
Stuart Priestley (Belfry Pro)
Michael Gow (HCP 7)
David Connor (HCP 10)
Alan Doodson (HCP 17)

David and pro Stuart liked the compact head but Stuart felt the face was a little deep to be consistent off the fairway. He enjoyed the performance off the tee though. Alan found it easy to get airborne and enjoyed excellent dispersion. Michael wasn’t keen on the more compact head though.

Distance: 4
Dispersion: 4.3
Looks: 4
Feel: 3.9
Forgiveness: 4.1
Tee: 4.3
Fairway: 3.9

Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington has had a hand in designing Wilson's latest fairway offering and he is so confident in the performance that he has put both the 3 and 5-woods in his bag – praise indeed. The design sees a large radius sole that allows the head to sit well on all lies to give confidence at address, while the centre of gravity has been placed low for a high ball flight. Wilson have also incorporated a three-zone variable thickness face which expands the sweetspot right across the face so is very forgiving.
