*JOIN THE **#1KCLUB* (First 1k comments & likes will be entered into a exclusive prize draw) Q: HAVE YOU EVER TRIED A WILSON DRIVER? If you are NEW to my channel *SMASH that subscribe button* to stay connected!
Tried the d300 driver. Was a good driver and went the distance. Wilson staff are well over looked. Would love the fg tour v6 irons you have too. If you ever decide to change I'm ur man for the old ones. Keep up the great videos. New format is top drawer as well.
Yes - when Strata Bloc was the bee's knees! Things have moved on since then, obviously, but the dubious claims continue and golfers continue to pay over the odds for product which performs no better than just about anything else. This looks like a good driver at a lower (over) price.
Best driver i ever had, been playing it for 3 years, most forgiving driver and workable too. Who cares about the sound or color, i care about finding the fairway, and this driver is doing just that. Tried many drivers and they all go the same distance for me but this one is like i said long and accurate anywhere on the face. It is going to stay in my bag for ever.
You know it’s a good club when all you can really pick on is the look and sound which is purely personal preference, I think it looks great, and it clearly performs really well. I’d love one.
Awesome. I was waiting for this video. What I saw on Wilson's website is that the power holes are marketed as not necessarily increasing speed off the face, but instead they are said to widen the sweet spot as the face is able to flex more (more forgiveness). I used to have a Taylormade RBZ driver that I was able to hit a bit further, but it had a half inch longer shaft, so that might have been the difference. I was lucky enough to win this driver in Rick's Christmas giveaway and have liked it so far. I haven't done anything to it, just used it as it came/stock.
Rick!!!! I have been waiting for this review since I got fit for this driver a few months ago. Went to my local PGA Superstore and got set up on the monitors and tried every new driver out there. After an hour smashing drives and having the PGA professional look at all my number, the Wilson C300 out performed every other driver I hit. For me of course. I hit the new Rogue, M3 and M4, Ping G400, etc etc. I was amazed at this outcome. I swing around 105-108MPH. I think I need a different shaft over the 58g stock stiff shaft, but so far on performance this thing has been delivering. I play Mizuno irons, and don't really care what driver I have as long as it works. And I proved that by trusting the numbers I saw and how the driver felt when I hit it, by buying this Wilson C300. I spent $400 on a Wilson Driver...... let that sink in....... LOL. Worth every penny so far. I too am not a fan of the higher pitch sound off the club, but hey, I can't argue with the results, so it's in the bag! Thanks for all the great work Rick, you're a true pro.
Poké Ballsack that’s actually my current driver that I’ve been sticking with, it plays so well for me that I just can’t take it out my bag. The sound is definitely a plus for me.
AGMiddY I played the aeroburner two seasons. I recently switched to the m1. The sound is a downgrade but as for performance and adjustability it was definitely worth it for me. But the aeroburner is a great driver for sure.
I used to call my 3 wood the fairway finder until I bought the C300 Driver. Being a mid handicapped golfer I dont always find the middle, but this club is so forgiving and the distance is decent from heal or toe strikes. Saves me a fortune on balls as well
I just bought a used Wilson c300 for $35 and it’s the best $35 I have spent in golf! I was truly surprised of the performance of this club. Wilson is a hidden gem.
Always been a Wilson fan because of my dad, telling me all the stories about Sam Sneed playing at The Greenbriar. Glad to see them offering more variety of clubs.
It's great that you're testing clubs over three separate days inside, and then taking it to the course. You get a more comprehensive review that way. Thanks Rick.
Sound.... Color..... Really??? Can I hit it long and straight consistently??? If yes I would not care if the damn thing was yellow and sounded like Peewee Herman.
The old fat shafts were amazing. Woods and irons were long straight and sooooo accurate. Now these are a set if clubs i would like you to test. They still stick out in my mind.
This Spring, I tested the C300 & had great results. It was nearly on par with the Callaway Rogue Zero & Mizuno I also tested, but was hundreds (Canadian) cheaper. As I kept browsing, I saw the Triton in the Clearance bin. It was $175 Canadian & had the 125 shaft in it. I tered that, & while it did not quite perform as well as the C300, Rogue & Mizuno, it was only a few yards shorter, but had tighter dispersion (for me). I decided to save 400$ & buy the Triton. Having watched your review, I was worried, but I did not have the same launch angle issues & I tend to fade, so it sitting just a bit closed works well for me. Either way, dollar for dollar, all of Wilson Staff's offerings are competitive & should be considered & tested.
I have never tried a Wilson driver, but I do play the Wilson D200 irons which also have power holes (now replaced by the D300 with MORE power holes). Good review, thanks.
First I want to say I got The driver, 3 and 5 woods BRAND NEW for $370 ebay. Now to keep it short this driver is 15yds longer than my Taylormade SLDR. I'm hitting fairways like clock work. The club is SO forgiving. Miss hits only move 3-5 yards fade or draw.... Yes the sound is crazy.... CRAZY LONG!!!! :)
Thank you for this review. I was looking at getting the Callaway Rogue. Seeing this review and seeing the review you made for the Rogue, I compared your numbers yes the Rogue is better in some aspects but your Carry and overall yardage were better with the C300! So I bought the Wilson and saved $250.00 Dollars Canadian!!! For the Color I love it and the sound ..It can't be worse than my Talormade R11 lol
Loved the Review. When I saw this club for the first time I loved the color. I’m surprised Rick didn’t mention how the color fades and changes when you see it from different angles. I think it’s pretty neat. Wilson makes some outstanding stuff. Waiting patiently for the review of the C300 forged Irons! Get on it Rick!
I play the C300 and love it. Love the sound, love the red, love paying $200 less than a Rogue. I also play the c200 irons and they are LONG! I love that most players don't want to buy W/S equipment so the price point remains low.
I absolutely loved the feel of the driver at demo day but the sleeper of the line is the hybrid. An absolute laser off the tee and a pin seeker from the fairway.
I got to test this club at my local demo days this year, it was the first Wilson driver that actually felt very nice and performed just as well like you said the thing I did like was the color
I love Wilson Staff clubs. I have them from hybrids to putter. I was always disappointed with their woods and bag Cobra's instead. Great to see that they are improving their woods and I'll definitely give them a swing this summer. I might be going back to having a 100% Wilson Staff bag.
Great job, Rick! Keep your great videos coming. You have the best reviews of anyone on You Tube, with the great detail you go into, with the testing you do!
Wilson was out for our demo day, I absolutely loved the c300 irons and hybrids. I could not quite get the feel for the driver, however he was very limited in shaft options. I like the mat red it’s good on the eyes with no glare or reflection. The brand, looks and price put it on my short list
Great in-depth review, I have the Triton driver and really like it, for me a fader of the golf ball, the Triton is excellent. Your results with the C 300 are completely believable.
Great video Rick. I couldn't hit a driver straight to save my life until now. Thanks for the advice and yes I own a D200 but up till now big slice even on the draw setting. The complete stop your slice guide was very helpful. Cheers..
Great video, you made a good point about the high pitched sound. I immediately noticed that when you first hit it. It sounds like a baseball hitting a metal bat...…
We did a review too, I personally like the red color but you are spot on for the sound. You don’t have to be a top notch player to be put off by the sound. The performance is stands up to the rest of the recently released drivers. Try the hybrid it is Something else
Really like the 'sciencey' chart. Makes some kind of benchmarking across different reviews a lot easier - and you can easily show key differentiator stats (good or bad).
I really liked this driver, so much so I ordered one! But because it took almost 3 weeks to arrive I cancelled and got a Ping G400 Max. I still love this one though and would happily have it in my bag 👍🏻
my first set of irons were Wilson.. while i don't use them often anymore (i have been custom fitted to other clubs), i still have them and they were fantastic :) If this driver is only half as good as these irons, it'll be amazing .. Wilson makes great equipment
I’m with you Rick. Sound & looks are huge. I played a Mizuno JPX900 and it performed amazing but hated the blue and high pitch sound. Switched to the all black Cobra F8 +
I think for many people performance can outweigh the negatives if you are looking for just max numbers. The launch and spin numbers for the club were awesome. I look at this as a practical matter in attacking a course. Does my driver get me to or past the 150 marker on a hole? Am I having 7I or 8I approach shots? On Par 5's does the driver get me to a place where my second shot can get me to the 100 yard marker, and I can go for pins with a wedge? I think a driver that arguably comes from a second tier brand, and produces consistent 300 yard bombs has got to be one you are willing to suffer a little discomfort with if it's lowering your scores.
Never been a massive Wilson fan.. this may of changed my mind. Been running my mind looking for a new driver! Nice review rick, made me think yet again!!
Nice review. Need to compare this to what it is replacing (is it better than old model?), who is the target market, and how it fits in the Wilson lineup.
I like this, 8 always felt that Wilson were a second rate brand, but the last club I bought was a putter, and after testing loads of brands in the shop i ended up walking out with a Wilson. I'll definitely test this when trading up my driver.
As long as I'm smashing it down the middle, I really couldn't care what it sounds like. I know where you coming from though Rick, especially when testing so many drivers. Top review 👍
Good review. Cant decide if i like that colour or not! Definitely performs well though. I think the "power holes" writing and seeing those two slots on the crown let the look down. Especially when yet again they dont do anything.
I think this driver would go in my bag, I’m still currently swinging the Taylormade Aeroburner which I love to pieces... I do actually like the sound of the driver and the look of it. Great review Rick! 👍
I've used Deep Red and Smooth drivers but the best was the Wilson spine with a proforce V2 shaft. Hit my longest drives ever with it. Longer than my Razr Fit though less consistent. Only trouble was it ounces like someone hitting a cast iron bath with a hammer. Soooo loud everyone within a 100 yards would look round to see what the sound was 😎
Should try the c300 forged... absolutely love mine, more traditional loft for a crossover iron. Feel and sound amazing but with a little extra security for the miss hits
Crazy to think I've been subbed since you had just over 100k subs! you will be the top RUclips golfer and very deserving so. Cheers from the US! I agree about the sound, but could also sacrifice an iffy sound for the performance.
I have the 3 wood and I love it!!! I got the triton drive and I wanna replace it with this some time soon I am hoping. Wilson makes great products and I don’t see my self using anything else!
Sound.. I still hit 2006 ft3. It sounds and feels as if im hitting a wooden bat. But i love it. More than say some clubs sound like a hollow trash can. Good vid
Great review Rick. I would have to agree with you, the red looks very non offensive, however would prefer black. I feel the power holes are just another “visible technology” that really does nothing more than compete with other on the shelf products.
Well this had me running for my old Wilson deep red maxx ii driver, which is the same colour but had fat shaft technology.428 in diameter, which is a non conforming driver now as it exceeds the .830 cor spec ( trampoline effect ) was a nice driver 17 years ago. i suspect that the urethane insert slots would bring the ball speed down as the material would have a dampening effect not a spring effect like my old wilson deep red has , would probably be a better driver without the urethane inserts.
have tested and used Wilson Staff drivers. infact, I have a Wilson Staff driver in the bag, which I interchange with a Titleist Driver. The W/S driver I have is the Dd6+. the sound of which I always thought good. But most importantly, it worked for me. giving distance and consistency. Now, the reason I have another driver, is for when I play coastal/links golf. As, just as you got a very high launch, so did I. and although the W/S driver seems to work okay in all conditions, I like a lower flight for driving into Wind, hence the lower lofted Titleist. On the issue of adjustable weights, I remember having issues with a Taylor-Made Driver, I think the R7, which had for a little while. and which sold on. it had a very metallic sound. so this could be the issue here. though will say, my W/S Dd6+ does have a louder sound than would have preferred initially, though certainly not tinny. it's a satisfying crack, or bang. Of the review driver do I like the looks.? Yes, do like the metallic Claret/Burgundy colour.? Yes. And the shape is pleasing to the eye. I would consider it. though the adjustable weights do put me off. I would be tempted to just leave it in neutral.
That graphic was awesome to compare everything, and it really makes you wonder if Wilson was onto something with that new design. It would not be very good on a windy day with that high launch however...
Enjoy every review. Any club I'm interested in I always check here first. Rick does great reviews with all the data and visual especially the look at address which is the most important. Thanks again.
They aren't so easy to find at a good price now but team the C300 driver with a Wilson Smartcore or 50 Elite ball and watch 'em fly. Rick, I bought this club following your review along with a fairway 5 and a hybrid 5 and all I can say is "thank you, I love them". But..., When are you going to review their Infinite Putters, as they are awesome. You can borrow mine if you like.

Q: HAVE YOU EVER TRIED A WILSON DRIVER?
If you are NEW to my channel *SMASH that subscribe button* to stay connected!
Rick Shiels Golf I have hit it and sound is terrible !!
Tried the d300 driver. Was a good driver and went the distance. Wilson staff are well over looked. Would love the fg tour v6 irons you have too. If you ever decide to change I'm ur man for the old ones. Keep up the great videos. New format is top drawer as well.
My first driver was a Wilson before I went with a Taylormade Burner 2.0
Yes - when Strata Bloc was the bee's knees! Things have moved on since then, obviously, but the dubious claims continue and golfers continue to pay over the odds for product which performs no better than just about anything else. This looks like a good driver at a lower (over) price.
Nope, but if you send one my way I might be tempted to try one!
If I was averaging 306 off the tee, the club could sound like a Whoopie cushion and I’d be fine. 😂
Best driver i ever had, been playing it for 3 years, most forgiving driver and workable too. Who cares about the sound or color, i care about finding the fairway, and this driver is doing just that. Tried many drivers and they all go the same distance for me but this one is like i said long and accurate anywhere on the face. It is going to stay in my bag for ever.
Wilson Staff is one of the best kept secrets in golf equipment. Thanks for the review!
Agreed! I bought all C300 Irons and LOVE THEM
You know it’s a good club when all you can really pick on is the look and sound which is purely personal preference, I think it looks great, and it clearly performs really well. I’d love one.

As an ex baseball player I love the high pitch ping sound.
Fred Williams yeah I’m with you on that, like I love the sound of this driver lol.
PING Sound?!?!? ;)
It sounds like the Taylor Made Aeroburner. I quite like it aswell.
Poké Ballsack that’s actually my current driver that I’ve been sticking with, it plays so well for me that I just can’t take it out my bag. The sound is definitely a plus for me.
AGMiddY I played the aeroburner two seasons. I recently switched to the m1. The sound is a downgrade but as for performance and adjustability it was definitely worth it for me. But the aeroburner is a great driver for sure.

Just Purchased this driver and am really impressed with it.Very forgiving when not struck in the middle.The sound is fine
adam flegg do you know how to play the club more upright, I can’t find anything? And what loft do I change it to, thanks,
Worst driver ever. It's a joke.
I just bought a used Wilson c300 for $35 and it’s the best $35 I have spent in golf! I was truly surprised of the performance of this club. Wilson is a hidden gem.
Great video. Love the driver very much. Love the color and the distance . Play it all the time thanks for the review.
Always been a Wilson fan because of my dad, telling me all the stories about Sam Sneed playing at The Greenbriar. Glad to see them offering more variety of clubs.
I started golfing with a set of Wilson Staff golf clubs, they might of been old but they sure did the trick :)
It's great that you're testing clubs over three separate days inside, and then taking it to the course. You get a more comprehensive review that way. Thanks Rick.
Sound.... Color..... Really??? Can I hit it long and straight consistently??? If yes I would not care if the damn thing was yellow and sounded like Peewee Herman.
I'd buy a driver that sounds like Pewee just for fun.
Yep.
Officially looking past color and sound, just bought it on eBay.
Easily the most thorough reviews on RUclips. Can’t miss a video Rick!
I use the D300 Wilson Staff driver and I love it. Performs brilliantly and for £130 which is all I paid new its a bargain. Love Wilson staff golf.
I like the color, and it look pretty cool.
The old fat shafts were amazing. Woods and irons were long straight and sooooo accurate. Now these are a set if clubs i would like you to test. They still stick out in my mind.
Thanks so much Rick. Good to get a proper unbiased opinion on the C300. Roll on next week. Cannot wait to start testing it
This Spring, I tested the C300 & had great results. It was nearly on par with the Callaway Rogue Zero & Mizuno I also tested, but was hundreds (Canadian) cheaper. As I kept browsing, I saw the Triton in the Clearance bin. It was $175 Canadian & had the 125 shaft in it.

I have yes, I tried their superlight driver from around 8 years ago...smashing club.
Great review format by the way.
I love wilson...I play the triton driver and the soutside putter...plus I love the sound of a Wilson Drivers.
Currently using the Triton and loving it. Big fan of Wilson clubs.
Loved the Review. When I saw this club for the first time I loved the color. I’m surprised Rick didn’t mention how the color fades and changes when you see it from different angles. I think it’s pretty neat. Wilson makes some outstanding stuff. Waiting patiently for the review of the C300 forged Irons! Get on it Rick!

I absolutely loved the feel of the driver at demo day but the sleeper of the line is the hybrid. An absolute laser off the tee and a pin seeker from the fairway.

I actually have the Wilson driver Finch used in the second hand series, and once I dialed it in I absolutely loved it, the sound is very high though
Great job, Rick! Keep your great videos coming. You have the best reviews of anyone on You Tube, with the great detail you go into, with the testing you do!
Wilson was out for our demo day, I absolutely loved the c300 irons and hybrids. I could not quite get the feel for the driver, however he was very limited in shaft options. I like the mat red it’s good on the eyes with no glare or reflection. The brand, looks and price put it on my short list
Great in-depth review, I have the Triton driver and really like it, for me a fader of the golf ball, the Triton is excellent. Your results with the C 300 are completely believable.
Great review. Club looks great (I like that they went with the red). It stands out from the rest of the pack.
Great video Rick. I couldn't hit a driver straight to save my life until now. Thanks for the advice and yes I own a D200 but up till now big slice even on the draw setting. The complete stop your slice guide was very helpful. Cheers..
Yes, used to have a Wilson persimmon driver. Looooved it!!!
Never tested a Wilson Driver. I have no problem with the color as I currently play an all white club head TM R11. Love the Wilson Staff comeback.
A really professional review. Nice format too.
So glad you finally Did this. I've had mine for 4+ months and love it. Next up c300 forged irons review.
Great video, you made a good point about the high pitched sound. I immediately noticed that when you first hit it.
It sounds like a baseball hitting a metal bat...…
Own this driver....love it....love the D7 as well...
We did a review too, I personally like the red color but you are spot on for the sound. You don’t have to be a top notch player to be put off by the sound. The performance is stands up to the rest of the recently released drivers. Try the hybrid it is Something else
McGolf Custom Clubs. I've tried the hybrid and it's legit. A nice ball flight and it just takes off.
Did it have the fuji shaft?
I'm not sure what shaft was in it.
Really like the 'sciencey' chart. Makes some kind of benchmarking across different reviews a lot easier - and you can easily show key differentiator stats (good or bad).
Rick, I like the new testing format you’re using of both launch monitors and on course trials, with a great deal more shots being taken.
I really liked this driver, so much so I ordered one! But because it took almost 3 weeks to arrive I cancelled and got a Ping G400 Max. I still love this one though and would happily have it in my bag 👍🏻
my first set of irons were Wilson.. while i don't use them often anymore (i have been custom fitted to other clubs), i still have them and they were fantastic :)
If this driver is only half as good as these irons, it'll be amazing .. Wilson makes great equipment
I’m with you Rick. Sound & looks are huge. I played a Mizuno JPX900 and it performed amazing but hated the blue and high pitch sound. Switched to the all black Cobra F8 +
im looking at this driver for 120 quid at the min i think i will go for it i like the colour to be honest
I think for many people performance can outweigh the negatives if you are looking for just max numbers. The launch and spin numbers for the club were awesome. I look at this as a practical matter in attacking a course. Does my driver get me to or past the 150 marker on a hole? Am I having 7I or 8I approach shots? On Par 5's does the driver get me to a place where my second shot can get me to the 100 yard marker, and I can go for pins with a wedge?
I think a driver that arguably comes from a second tier brand, and produces consistent 300 yard bombs has got to be one you are willing to suffer a little discomfort with if it's lowering your scores.
Never been a massive Wilson fan.. this may of changed my mind. Been running my mind looking for a new driver! Nice review rick, made me think yet again!!
I've used wilson staff clubs for 30 years always been underrated once used by a lot of the top pros
Nice review. Need to compare this to what it is replacing (is it better than old model?), who is the target market, and how it fits in the Wilson lineup.
Good job! Another educational video in the books.
Nice review vid. I used to play a Wilson Fat Shaft driver. Loved it. Played consistently to around 6 handicap with it, until the fat shaft snapped.
Great review. Glad to see Wilson making drivers which can compete with their competition
The matte red looks nice, but I still like my double black diamond. Thanks for the review.
I like this, 8 always felt that Wilson were a second rate brand, but the last club I bought was a putter, and after testing loads of brands in the shop i ended up walking out with a Wilson. I'll definitely test this when trading up my driver.
I love the comparison chart!
As long as I'm smashing it down the middle, I really couldn't care what it sounds like. I know where you coming from though Rick, especially when testing so many drivers. Top review 👍
Always love the vids. Can’t wait to see more of the crew playing holes again. Pete carter ect.. great reviews as always. Helps a lot. Cheers.
Good review. Cant decide if i like that colour or not! Definitely performs well though. I think the "power holes" writing and seeing those two slots on the crown let the look down. Especially when yet again they dont do anything.
Great review,,your new format is outstanding
I think this driver would go in my bag, I’m still currently swinging the Taylormade Aeroburner which I love to pieces... I do actually like the sound of the driver and the look of it. Great review Rick! 👍
I like the color and sound as well. Plus I recently purchased the d-300 irons, And simply love em
Hi J
Did you wind up getting the c300 driver and if so what loft and shaft flex did you pick and your overall impressions hitting it? DeX
Throwback to the Wilson Deep Red for sure
I've used Deep Red and Smooth drivers but the best was the Wilson spine with a proforce V2 shaft. Hit my longest drives ever with it. Longer than my Razr Fit though less consistent. Only trouble was it ounces like someone hitting a cast iron bath with a hammer. Soooo loud everyone within a 100 yards would look round to see what the sound was 😎
I love the club test videos. It really makes me think what my next club should be. I’m caught between this the new cobra and taylormade
I have one in my bag I love the sound its kind of like a softball bat
I love the color! And the sound I can get past to gain yardage. And now that they are a year old I can get one for $189! I think I'm buying one!
Should try the c300 forged... absolutely love mine, more traditional loft for a crossover iron. Feel and sound amazing but with a little extra security for the miss hits
lol I heard power holes and all I thought of was homer simpson putting speed holes in the hood of his car lol
Josh Charlebois lol me too!
I have a Trackman fitting scheduled for next Tuesday, need to move on from my worn MP-69s, so I will see if this is available to test
Hmm, I have always seemed to like that higher pitch sound more than muted ones. May have to give this one a try.
Crazy to think I've been subbed since you had just over 100k subs! you will be the top RUclips golfer and very deserving so. Cheers from the US! I agree about the sound, but could also sacrifice an iffy sound for the performance.
Another great review rick. Question is....what is the best performing driver for value.... Pound for pound..???
I love the colour of this driver 👍🏻
I have the 3 wood and I love it!!! I got the triton drive and I wanna replace it with this some time soon I am hoping. Wilson makes great products and I don’t see my self using anything else!
I love the color. Nice to see something besides black. Love to hit one.
Sound.. I still hit 2006 ft3. It sounds and feels as if im hitting a wooden bat. But i love it. More than say some clubs sound like a hollow trash can. Good vid
Very interresting since we don't hear a lot about Wilson clubs. Is Padraig Harrington using it???
Amazing Rick, best driver
Love the reviews this year!
Great review Rick. I would have to agree with you, the red looks very non offensive, however would prefer black. I feel the power holes are just another “visible technology” that really does nothing more than compete with other on the shelf products.
Good review, thanks. For the price it's tough to beat.
Gorgeous driver, love the colour!
Sounds like I ay need to give this a hit. I have hit the C300 3 wood and it was excellent off the tee & ground.
Love that Red as well as club head design
Well this had me running for my old Wilson deep red maxx ii driver, which is the same colour but had fat shaft technology.428 in diameter, which is a non conforming driver now as it exceeds the .830 cor spec ( trampoline effect ) was a nice driver 17 years ago.
i suspect that the urethane insert slots would bring the ball speed down as the material would have a dampening effect not a spring effect like my old wilson deep red has , would probably be a better driver without the urethane inserts.
have tested and used Wilson Staff drivers. infact, I have a Wilson Staff driver in the bag, which I interchange with a Titleist Driver.
The W/S driver I have is the Dd6+. the sound of which I always thought good. But most importantly, it worked for me. giving distance and consistency. Now, the reason I have another driver, is for when I play coastal/links golf. As, just as you got a very high launch, so did I. and although the W/S driver seems to work okay in all conditions, I like a lower flight for driving into Wind, hence the lower lofted Titleist.
On the issue of adjustable weights, I remember having issues with a Taylor-Made Driver, I think the R7, which had for a little while. and which sold on. it had a very metallic sound. so this could be the issue here. though will say, my W/S Dd6+ does have a louder sound than would have preferred initially, though certainly not tinny. it's a satisfying crack, or bang.
Of the review driver do I like the looks.? Yes, do like the metallic Claret/Burgundy colour.? Yes. And the shape is pleasing to the eye. I would consider it. though the adjustable weights do put me off. I would be tempted to just leave it in neutral.
Yeah looks and sound is big for me also. I hate a tiny sound off a driver. Another excellent video Rick.
That graphic was awesome to compare everything, and it really makes you wonder if Wilson was onto something with that new design. It would not be very good on a windy day with that high launch however...
Enjoy every review. Any club I'm interested in I always check here first. Rick does great reviews with all the data and visual especially the look at address which is the most important. Thanks again.
They aren't so easy to find at a good price now but team the C300 driver with a Wilson Smartcore or 50 Elite ball and watch 'em fly.
Rick, I bought this club following your review along with a fairway 5 and a hybrid 5 and all I can say is "thank you, I love them". But..., When are you going to review their Infinite Putters, as they are awesome. You can borrow mine if you like.
I would love to try this driver. Wilson is often overlooked these days but they make some nice stuff.
Don Dasher Yeah nice irons. Their drivers are always crap.
madskrillz2 agree on the irons some of them look great and feel nice! I have never used any of their drivers...
