Wilson Staff launches D200 club range
Wilson Staff launches its biggest distance technology advance with SuperLight set
Wilson Staff has launched a new D200 family of clubs that are even lighter and longer than its former D100 range.
The D200 driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons comprise an original Speed Sole concept but offer a "powerful, balanced, solid feel and sound experience" thanks to precise positioning of weight in each club.

“Product testing has shown that golfers of all standards can benefit from lighter clubs, as they are easier to swing faster with the same effort to achieve increased clubhead and ball speeds,” said Michael Vrska, Wilson Staff's global director of innovation.
“But it’s not just about being lightweight, because the challenge is optimising the limited mass available for distribution within the head, shaft and grip to achieve the best performance for each club."
