Wilson

Why we like it

It sounds exceptional to build a fairway wood with the expanding possibilities of artificial intelligence, but a worthy design needs the best input of machine and human to truly elevate the standard. Wilson’s team used supercomputers and thousands of simulations to uncover the precise levels of varying thicknesses on the face to maximise ball speeds. Engineers also sought the wisdom of tour players. Their input on the flatter profile and shallower face improved the versatility so that more players of all skill levels could take advantage of that high-tech, high-speed face.

Dynapower

• A centred 12-gram weight in the rear perimeter improves stability on off-centre hits and boosts launch.
• Tends to launch higher with slightly above average spin.
• 15, 18, 21 degrees (with a fixed hosel).
