New Wilson CorTex driver

[rfarrell51]

I’m trying to list one in the classified but it says I’m not authorized. Does anyone know why? Thanks

[ihatecats18]

Hit in the sim today. The blue x stiff at 45" was very very stiff. The 45" tour stiff was like a whip.

 

Overall a good club, but i didn't like the cheap thin lamkin grip.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks exactly like the original M1

Other than the weight track (which has been done of numerous other drivers), how does it look anything like the m1?

[joekelli]

 

 

Exactly the same???????????????

[eaglestan66]

The shape of the Cortex head is different from the M1 lengthwise from face to back.

Exactly the same???????????????

 

These look nothing alike.

If Rick positively reviewed it, no one would believe him because they'd say he's biased. He can't win by reviewing it positively or negatively.

 

He doesn't need to "win"...Wilson does. Shiels isn't selling products...Wilson is.

 

People are going to tune-in and watch his reviews regardless. Have you stopped watching his reviews because your current equipment doesn't work vs. people tune-in looking for the next best thing?

 

Do you or I agree with every review he does...NO...but, might he persuade you try something you otherwise would not have thought about..YES!

 

For me, his review of the Srixon Z785 driver did exactly that. I never would have given a look at their driver or even thought about testing it, but his review intrigued me enough along with Srixon's 60-Day Gaurantee to give it a try. I would agree...it is a sneaky good driver...may not be enough to overtake my current driver, but may be good enough that I want to keep it and have it as a backup.

 

Yes, he DOES need to "win". Everybody does.

 

Nobody needs to agree with any of his reviews so long as they perceive him to be "objective", i.e. NON-aligned with the manufacturer.

 

If he reviews this driver positively and it flops he will be accused of shilling and his videos become irrelevant. FAIL for Rick.

 

If he reviews it negatively he gets no more paid gigs from ANY manufacturer. Who's going to pay someone to "trash" their product(s) ? FAIL for Rick.

These are completely different shapes.

Rick Shiels teased on IG that a review of the Cortex will be coming soon to his YouTube channel, for everyone wondering if he was going to review it

[wilbur.kay]

Did I just see on instagram that Rick is going to do a review??

[ShakeyT]

LOL at the conspiracy theorist who were coming up with all the negativity about why Shiels wouldn’t review it.

[theboypinoy]

Just to show:

[rfarrell51]

And be sure he’s had enough experience hitting it to get the settings where he likes them. Or maybe that will be his excuse if it doesn’t perform.

[Chucksteak77]

Driver is legit, he's not worried that it will fail.

[rfarrell51]

Don’t get me wrong, I think it will perform.

I know it does for me. I ordered one two weeks before we knew the winner. I was hoping it would be the Cortex.

How’d you do that?

[rfarrell51]

Pre order through Wilson rep

[QuigleyDU]

Shiels will be posting one soon.

Agree 100%.....

Given that Wilson had RS on hand during development, I wouldn't be surprised if his personal number were a major factor in the design process. They know they need to get it to where he can show it has equal numbers to all the big boys, and I'm sure it will.

 

What will be more interesting is if he gets a non-stock shaft for his fitting. I'm sure at the end of the day it'll get a standard "I love the look, and it performs" statement in the review. And he'll probably focus a good chunk of time on the excitement of being part of the development. Now if it lands in his bag for more than a month with a stock option shaft... that will be more impressive to me.

Looks like your theory was wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rick doesn't really give negative reviews, he states pretty clearly what he likes about it personally, what he doesn't like about it personally but always leaves it to the viewer to decide if they like it. He doesn't seem to try and convince anyone that a product is terrible or great, at least not usually. Its a very individual experience, what works for him might not for someone else and vice versa. He states something to that effect or alludes to it in many videos.

 

That all leads me to believe that it will be rare a manufacturer doesn't want him to review their product given the way he reviews them. He does it in a way that doesn't hurt either party, the manufacturer or the consumer.

While that is usually true, there are exceptions. TM couldn't have been happy that the title for his P760 review was "ONE HUGE NEGATIVE..........NEW TM P760 REVIEW".

Yeah there are some exceptions for sure.

I think the Mark Crossfield review would be much more interesting.
