As you'd expect from a game-improvement iron of this size, Wilson have made the lofts nice and strong to help give you extra distance by combining with the low centre of gravity for higher, longer ball flights. The new production process generated hundreds of innovative and different D9 prototype head shapes and Power Hole layouts in the ultimate pursuit of game improving performance. The result is a high launching, lower spinning iron that delivers outstanding stopping power and pinpoint accuracy. Strong lofts and low spin give the Wilson Staff D9 irons tons of distance. Easy to launch with ample forgiveness. Premium look at a modest price. The MOI-launch condition tradeoff isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition,” says Pergande. “If you improve launch conditions, even if you hit it slightly off-center, you’ll get greater distance because you’ve reduced spin and because of the launch condition you’ve achieved.” Due to the different techniques used in the printing of balls, different jobs may result in different finishes; this may be in the form of a mat or a gloss finish. Both 'pad printing' and 'digital printing' is used on different jobs resulting in slightly different finishes.

A lower center of gravity provides a higher launch, increased peak trajectory and a steeper descent angle. That means more carry and greater stopping power on the green. If you want great quality golf clubs that don't break the bank, Wilson have been one of the go-to brands over the last few years with products that perform extremely well and are much more reasonably priced than the likes of the 'Big Four'. We want to hit the ball as high as we can so it’s coming down as steeply as possible,” says Pergande. “That way, the ball isn’t getting away from the player. It’s hitting the green and staying there.”

The 7 iron was averaging 167 yards carry with a peak height of around 100ft, and this higher flight is Wilson's way of holding the ball on the green because the spin rate of 5100rpm is low for a 7 iron. Whilst I wouldn't describe them as having a particularly buttery feel off the face - and Wilson would agree that this is not the aim with these irons anyway - I did enjoy the fact that they felt pretty hot, leaving you under no illusion that you can get some serious distance from these irons. What we did here is let the computer give us insight into how to improve performance,” says Jon Pergande, Wilson’s Manger of Golf Club Innovation. “We gave the computer the ability to manipulate CAD models through different designs and then run them through simulations for ball speed and distance.”

The Power Holes have been noticeably toned down on the Wilson Staff D9 irons. There are only two rows and they’re much less obtrusive and, according to Pergande, more effective thanks to the computer.

And when you’re Wilson, getting attention in the hitting bay is maybe the best way to get the consumer’s attention. And if a lot of distance is good, then a little more than a lot is even better. Company number: 1394141; Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, I liked the the contrast between the shiny chrome head and the brushed chrome/matte portion of the face behind the grooves as it made it really easy to frame the ball. Besides, you can't see them down by the ball so unless you're very particular about how these clubs look in the bag then I think it's something that most golfers could learn to live with. On a bladed iron then perhaps not, on a friendly game-improvement iron? A bit of visible tech never hurt anyone. Oddly – or maybe not so oddly – none of the four longest irons in the test finished in the upper half in strokes gained. Of those four, the D7 was the best overall strokes gained performer.

The irons come as standard with a lightweight KBS steel shaft, but there is also an option to add MRC Tensei graphite shafts too if you struggle with generating much club head speed and want to increase launch and distance. Wilson D9 Irons Review Boasting the lowest ever centre of gravity of any Wilson iron, the increased launch angle and enhanced turf interaction deliver a steeper angle of descent at greenside for superior control. Wilson’s lowest-ever centre of gravity in an iron increases launch angles and delivers a steeper angle of descent for increased green-side control.

Low Center Of Gravity: Wilson’s lowest-ever center of gravity in an iron increases launch angles and delivers a steeper angle of descent for increased green-side control. The D9 irons are designed to be friendly and welcoming with their looks - they are all about offering help and inspiring confidence rather than a profile that you may be worried about. Our custom fit specialists, launch monitors FlightScope and GameChanger 2 will give you the ideal combination of clubs to help improve your golf game.

Ball speed/face deflection is a leading character in every game improvement iron release we see. And every release has the same co-star: the lowest center of gravity possible. The Wilson Staff D9 irons are no different.With only two rows of Power Holes instead of the three we had with D7, we’re able to push a lot of material very low.” That’s why it’s a relatively hard act to follow. And that’s why Wilson brought in its supercomputer to help with the heavy lifting. Designed unlike anything to outperform everything - Wilson Staff's new D9 Irons feature a revolutionary new 'Intelligent Design' for the perfect blend of distance, forgiveness and unwavering consistency. Utilising strategically positioned urethane filled Power Holes, face flex is maximised to produce incredible ball speeds, combined with an expanded sweet spot to keep your shots long and accurate. Intelligent Design compared thousands of head shapes and Power Hole arrangements to optimize both distance and ball speed. The result is an iron with higher launch and lower spin with incredible stopping power and pinpoint accuracy.
