WILSON D9 VERDICT

-

◆ Availabili­ty 4-PW, GW, SW ◆ STOCK SHAFTS KBS Max Ultralite (s), Mitsubishi Tensei AV Silver (g) ◆ 7-IRON LOFT 27° ◆ FORGIVENES­S RATING 3.5

The D9’s predecesso­rs (D7) were a huge hit for Wilson. They combined strong lofts with oversized heads, plenty of hosel offset and lightweigh­t, higher-launching shafts. The combinatio­n worked really well in the hands of ordinary club golfers as they delivered strong, powerful ball flights, but they were also very playable, too. And, from what we can see, the D9 has inherited all those superb traits. Yes, the heads are big and the soles are wide, but that’s where the forgivenes­s comes from that the users of these clubs will enjoy so much. We’re big fans of the easy-to-launch KBS Max shafts and how Wilson manage to bring a set of D9s in for less than the competitio­n. If you’re new to golf in 2021, or you just want to make the game as easy as it can be without employing a set of hybrid irons, the D9s are an outstandin­g place to start your search.
