Gary Woodland's new Wilson irons


Recommended Posts

Does the lead tape help with getting the lower irons in the air at all?

 

From where its placed, I tend to think he hits down on it a bit and the ball hits higher on the face. If the face is a little thin up high it can feel less solid. I always prefer higher weighted blades just because I have a bit too much downward approach and occasionally hit some balls too high on the face. If its thin, they really feel clunky.

Love seeing those Golf Pride TV BCT midsize. Tour only of course!

Correct. The 1 to 2 grams shown is insignificant. Probably trying to balance SW. Or, as others' stated: It's a "head thing".

 

1 strip is one 1sw, so this is most likely

Swing weight , not enough mass to affect Cg in a meaningful way

I really like Wilson irons, these look 90% great but kinda unfinished in my eyes...

It looks as if they took a finished iron and then decided they needed to change the CG of it, so they sent it off to R&D who then milled a bunch of weight out of the heel area. And then they just left it...

The rest of the club is nice smooth lines, chrome plating... then a big chunk milled out... its like once they found the correct weighting that they didn't go back to clean up the design.

 

I'm also curious about the hole in the heel

Is that going to remain like that? Is it there just for testing, so players can swap shafts?

Will the production model have a plug there? or will there be no hole at all?

Does anyone know what kind of woods he is using? Based on some pics it appears he’s no longer using the M3 driver?

Don't think so.. the shape and color of the driver is not like an M3. Hopefully a better look will be shown, especially with the hole in one today

What's that black iron, training aid or DI?

 

Swing tempo training aid.

 

 

Greg

 

Gabe Golf, Great training aid, awesome teacher and dude!

 

Love seeing that GW has these in play! Almost no offset and love the old school face markings

 

is it just me, or does that look a whole lot like a Maltby DBM head without the stamping?

 

It is a Maltby DBM. That company uses it for their training aid, with their graphics on it. Probably chose it because the DBM finish is so durable and lasts a long time
