WILSON FAIRWAY WOODS REVIEW
Wilson D9
We tested: 13.5, 15 and 18 degrees
Our take: Don’t be fooled by the clean look from address on these Wilson D9 fairway woods. They pack a punch, and helped our testers hit balls from the turf that went long, high and straight. Consider these a sleeper selection that keeps up with top performers in the category.

The details: With the help of its Advisory Staff members, Wilson crafted tour-like head shapes that optimize weight for ball speed. They also have thin milled faces made from Carpenter Custom 455 steel that have variable thickness across the face to boost speed and launch on off-center strikes.
Wilson Launch Pad
We tested: 15 and 18 degrees
Our take: Is there anything more frustrating than hitting a low slice with a fairway wood that doesn’t get above head height? The Wilson Launch Pad fairways repeatedly helped our low-speed testers achieve a high-launching draw, even on shots hit off the deck.

The details: Wilson’s slice-busting fairway wood is built with moderate offset, 13 grams in the heel section of the head, and an upright lie angle to make release the club face significantly easier. Also, the faces are made from Carpenter Custom 455 steel faces to boost ball speed, and the lightweight heads are made to create more swing speed.
