Wilson Staff Smooth Driver - Golf Club Review

GOLFALOT.COM Equipment News Male: Hello and welcome to Golf A Lot Equipment News where we review the Wilson Staff Smooth Driver. Wilson says the smooth driver’s classic cleaning loops have been inspired by the sleek uninterrupted lines of today’s high performance sports cars and it’s easy to see where they’re coming from. Wilson has combined the classy exterior of the 460 cc head with their own performance technology on the inside. The smooth driver uses Wilson’s own variable thickness design in the club face to deliver a sweet spot that is twice as large as normal. The smooth also features a unique internal weight positioning design. The moves the weight back as the loft of the driver increases. This means that each of the available lofts 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees offer the maximum stability to optimize the launch conditions that best suite your swing. The Wilson Staff Smooth also offers the Fujikura E-Fit Shaft System allowing you to match your swing to the correct shaft. Here’s Bob Thurman Global Head of Research and Development at Wilson to explain. Bob: To make sure that this driver works for every player, we match specific lofts and specific shaft designs. Lower lofts were matched with a stiffer, heavier Fujikura shaft for more boring trajectory. Male: Oh it’s a very nice flight. It doesn’t balloon at all. This is nice. Male: The ball is coming off with low spin, which obviously is good. I mean that means the shaft is good. Bob: In a higher loft of club heads we move away further back and combine this with a more lighter flexible shaft to help get the ball airborne faster. Male: There is no doubt that the smooth is a modern looking driver that combines a feeling of power with a more traditional understated design but it was maybe a little too rounded for us looks of course aren’t everything and in our test we felt that the smooth driver performed very well and delivered in all the imports in areas of distance, consistency and forgiveness. Make sure you get the right shaft loft combination from the Fujikura E-Fit Shaft System because that will have a significant effect on the height of your trajectory. Given how forgiving how the driver was, we wondered if it would be as workable as some of the rival drivers end at the better players but again the Wilson Staff Smooth performed very well and all the options for moving the ball right or left off the tee are available. We couldn’t really fault the performance of the smooth and most golfers would find that this club rarely let’s them down. It is however up against some stiff competition in the center and is maybe missing a little of the wow factor to make it stand out. However the Wilson Staff Smooth is a quality driver for all levels of player with a reasonable price tag. And if you like a more traditional shape driver then you will go far wrong with this club. Well that’s all for now, so for more information on the Wilson Staff smooth and to compare prices from all the major retailers please visit our website at golfalot.com.
