Wilson Staff D6

[Gxgolfer]

 

• An oversized 460cc club head designed for golfers seeking maximum driver distance and forgiveness

• ETF frame technology captures and focuses energy toward the face of the club head for increase speed and distance

• L-Pods on the back of the sole re-distributes the center of gravity (CG) low and back, producing a higher initial launch trajectory

i have never liked the products wilson had created but i was pursueded into demoing a DD6 8.5* with a stiff Grafalloy ProLaunch. I absolutly hammered it. I hit one 365 on hole 10. This is amazing for someone who is 5foot 8 with shoes who averages 260-270 off the tee.

This has to be one of the most underated clubs out there at the moment. I have been through so many drivers lately it isn't funny and this thing is as good if not better than all of them. :cheesy: It's a 10 degree with stiff aldila nvs shaft.

i haven't played golf for a few years, only started again, and so my equipment is rather our of date. i've tested a lot of the new drivers recently and still haven't found one that really suits me 100%. however, i came across a wilson Dd6 8.5* demo club with a proforce v2 S with 66g. i tried it and it worked beautifully for me. the reason was the shaft, because i tried other options as well. according to the wilson home page, this club only comes with an aldila nvs shaft in the united states. but in europe you can choose between the aldila and the proforce. on the shaft it says "exclusively for wilson staff" and the specs are little bit different from the ones you'll find on the ust home page. its stiff, 66g, torque 3.8 (which i don't believe), butt stiffness 267, mid stiffness 7.0 tip stiffness 27, and the tip diameter is 350, which again, are a little bit different specs from the v2 that aren't made for wilson. usually the tip is even stiffer and the torque is lower. my swing speed is in the mid 90s, so i could also do with a reg shaft, but this combo is really great for me. it produces the low ball flight i want, because most courses in my area are usually very dry and very windy. and no matter how hard i try to overswing and really crush it, it always produces a controlled shot. i deliberately tried to swing totally out of control with a john daly-like back swing, to jump into the ball, to concsiously just hit at it and not really swing... always the same result... a controlled, low draw down the middle. the worst possible result was a low hook, which really was hard to produce and which i also would prefer to a high slice any time. slice chance with this club: zero, whatever i tried. i also tried the same head with the aldila nvs (even with a s 75), but i couldn't control that at all, it felt too whippy and i hit high pulls and high slices with it. on that demo day i also tried out a lot of the new drivers from other manufacturers and some of them really worked well. i could end up with a nike sq sumo or a callaway ft-i tour, but i really don't know if i want to spend that kind of money. at the end of the demo day, they sold some of the demo clubs really cheap and that wilson Dd6 with the v2 shaft was one of them, so i took it as short term solution. but after the first two rounds with it, it might stay in the bag permanently.

Well I've tried them all, FTI, Sumo, G10, 905R, D1, D2, S/Quad, Burner. None of them would seem to match the performance of my Cobra 400SZ (Unlimited) but come the 01/01/08 my old faithful will be put out to graze. However two weeks ago I spotted a Wilson Dd6 8.5. V2 66g Stiff, for sale on Ebay (UK) Brand new in the wraps. I won the auction, and ended up paying £66.00 + £6.00 P&P. Got to say this Club is absoloutly fantastic ! The combination of the Large 460 Head and the lighter V2 S 66g Shaft I think is perfect. Most stock V2 shafted Drivers have the heavier 76g which for me is to heavy. Anyway I'm over the the moon with this Club and my advice to any one looking for a new Driver is give one a go. I certainly would not swap it for a £220.00 Superquad. Good luck ! S.S. 100 MPH H/Cap 5.

When i started playing golf in early may this year i thought that i had to go out and get a Driver. Now the price wasnt much on issue, but after some concideration and recommandations i went for the Dd6 with the Aldila NVS 65 R.
My swing has developed somewhat i i am now in a position where i find myself consitently make pretty desent drives.
Not more than 2 weeks ago i decided to have a little lesson with my Pro, including a measurment of SS.
After changing the grip to a oversized(whatever that means) with an extra layer of tape on the bottom half of the grip, and cutting down the stock shaft by 1 inch i now find myself making better and better drives. And this driver has now become pretty much the club i have the most confidence with in the whole bag.
My swing speed is on avrg 94 mph and 99 if i swing out of my shoes.. Amazingly it is always producing great results. Good work Wilson.

I just acquired a Wilson Dd6 with an "R" flex Aldila NV and it is a cannon. $98 brand new and it retired my Titleist 905S!

I have golfed for over 40 years and have used the Staff Dd6 for the last 6 years. This is the most consistant, longest hitting driver I have ever swung. The shape and size of the head and striking surface instills confidence when addressing the ball better than any driver out there. The better the swing you put on it, the greater the reward with feel and ball flight. From what I seen for new drivers in the last several years, I will still be using the Staff Dd6, another 6 years from now.
