So who’s going home with new equipment…

 

I assume they’re taking orders from participants?

Yeah they’re going to build and then ship to us. The AI experience was super cool. 3 swings and it fit me basically exactly into what I expected.

that thing looks AMAZING. I couldn’t game it.  I miss enough 4 footers with a huge mallet. 

same. But I figured I am such a crap putter, might as well putt crappy with something awesome.

[QuigleyDU]

so are you all playing golf now? Or is that tomorrow?

Exactly…the new Ai fitting tool is legit.  First answer a few questions and then there is a fitting iron that measures everything.  It’s almost scary how easy, and accurate, it is. Started me with a shaft that was too light but based on contact it changed to 115g DG. About as expected. I was fit into the CB with the Dynapower forged as the 5 and 6 iron.  The utility iron is sweet as well.  I am absolutely NOT going to show my driver numbers.  I might have to give up my WRX card after watching @TLUBulldogGolfand @Olson12 .

 

The wedges are fantastic.  Great finish and a bit more heel relief making them easy to open up.  Balls and putters are solid as well.

 

We all definitely need to add Wilson golf to our must play equipment.  You’re definitely doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least try them out and with the new AI fitting tool every fitter out there can be a Wilson expert fitter.

[Orchardist]

Any surprises in the shaft recommendations vs. your expectations or what you currently play? 

[Orchardist]

Sorry Shilgy, my bad, I see the shaft reference in your post.  Great stuff.  Hard not to be excited with Wilson in recent years!

This is awesome! The UDI is beautiful. I’d put it in the bag based on looks alone. I also love that they have the DI as an upgrade to shaft option to test. Are the Ventus the TR Velcore line or is it the stock offering that comes with Wilson?

 

I'm sure they are also doing ball testing too.

Velocore….ADDI….Mitsu Kai’li (which is I was fit into)….a couple others.

 

UDI is beautiful and surprisingly easy to hit.

[QuigleyDU]

Wilson playing hard in the paint.. lol

[BraxtonFullerton]

Absolutely 100% jealous I was not selected to go...

Though it's probably for the best. I'd be taking out staffers and photographers all over the short-game area.

 

You guys are probably the reason why my DPF/CB combo set is delayed being built!!!

I was happy to not take anyone out around the greens. I think they got me holing a chip on video, but they also got me chunking one during an interview to even it out.

Absolutely hope they have footage of you trying to tuck a partial beaver tail back in and sheepishly looking back at the camera.

I was selected by GolfWRX for the Bridgestone MindSet ball testing.  I went out and played today with the balls I got and, it turns out, following this thread and being jealous of all the stuff you all are getting to test out is too much for the MindSet ball to handle.

I had brought a camera to try and capture some footage but Wilson and GolfWRX really invested in the production value.  I’m not sure how long it’s going to take for the video to come out but you won’t be disappointed.

I didn’t deviate from my iron shaft of choice, but if you are less certain the AI tool had some really cool data it can use to make recommendations. It had curves of different wrist angles through the swing as well as tempo and force on the club.

That's really cool!  It sounds like Wilson and GolfWRX might have more collaborations in the future.  Perhaps this will be a regular thing each season like it was with TM.  One can hope!

I've also kept my camera in the bag. No sense competing with a professional marketing team. I'm definitely going to capture some on course snaps tomorrow.

[TLUBulldogGolf]

The low bounce 60* would do basically anything I asked it to, including out of the sand. I’d put it right up next to the T grind for versatility. I’m planning on putting the Tour Model X ball through its paces tomorrow.

I came in with a request to try out the steelfibers. The AI tool put me in that shaft right away and I didn't even bother hitting anything else.  We'll have some screen shots to share with you all at some point but we're waiting for the Wilson team to send those over showing what is all captured.

I really don't know anything regarding the AI.  Does the shaft database cover recommendations beyond the online custom selection or is it limited to that offering?

It defaults to things they'll have in the fitting cart with the idea being that the fitter can recommend something else based on their experience, or that of the person being fit. The AI isn't meant to replace the fitter, it is meant to enhance their knowledge and give them more data. It was pretty neat to see things like G-Forces generated instead of club head speed.

I enjoyed all the conent and reviews from the day so much so that I couldn't help but go to the range and put a video together about my Wilson bag. While I know that Wilson Fitters didn’t fit me, I feel like my setup currently performs very well.

To those who think the music is a bit loud, I apologize as I tried to make it quieter in post edit and it didn’t take.

Very nice!   Wilson is on great refresh for lack of a better term and I love the energy because the product is currently so Good.

I don’t have pics but once we got the right loft and shaft combo is was pretty point and shoot. Low 170s, 12ish launch, 2300-2500 spin coming out of a great window. I want to see how it looks with the X ball which should be a touch faster. The 9* head in the carbon is a knuckle ball launcher if you tend to spin it.

Edited June 4 by TLUBulldogGolf

[Orchardist]

Luvs me a good knuckle ball...unless it's flyer from the rough.

 

Thanks to all you participants for the updates as your day progresses.  Juice guys getting me no work done 😂

[Red4282]

Man, what an experience for you guys and the Wilson product looks great! Definitely digging the satin irons and raw wedges. The putter lineup and balls are great too. Wilson taking a big step up here in my opinion!

[Carolina Golfer 2]

What a great experience Wilson and WRX are putting on.   Appreciate all the updates. 
 

i’m sure tonights dinner will be full of great memories from the day. 
 

Can’t wait to see some pics of No.10 Tomorrow

Yeah. When I have tried it, it may be the lowest spin driver ever..
