Our take: The black carbon fiber crown glistens in the sun like a sports car.

50 Words or Less

The Wilson Staff D9 driver uses its huge sweet spot to provide the typical golfer what they need – distance and forgiveness. It also delivers what they want – an attractive price.

Introduction

Visiting the Wilson Golf website to research tech on the new D9 driver, I scrolled into the reviews and couldn’t help but notice how loyal Wilson golfers are. So many posts referred to replacing their old – and I’m talking several models old – Wilson driver with the D9.

Looks

In the address position, the Wilson D9 driver looks large and powerful with a well balanced, elongated, round shape. The glossy black crown is highlighted by pinstriping on the trailing edge and carbon fiber weave reveal in the middle section.

Sound & Feel

Perfectly aligned with the strong adjectives used to describe the looks, the Wilson D9 driver delivered a loud, percussive ‘tank.’ The sound was consistent across the face, inspiring me to think that I just couldn’t miss.

Performance

Reviewing my launch monitor data, I wasn’t surprised to find consistent results after experiencing what felt like a huge sweet spot. Ball speeds were high and landing groupings were tight. Spin was low, which when combined with the low launch of the 9° loft significantly impacted my carry.

Conclusion

Besides the good looks and strong performance, the other noteworthy feature of the Wilson Staff D9 driver is the price – $349.99. That’s still a lot of money for a single club, but a relative value when you compare it to the new drivers of most other brands.
