Wilson C300 Forged Gun Metal: Same speed, new look!

Published

on

Black never goes out style — black suits, little black dresses, black dress shoes — you get the idea.

With club finish options some also come and go, but black continues to be one of the most popular finishes, second only to chrome…and with that Wilson Staff in unveiling the C300 Forged in Gun Metal.

When it comes to irons, the C series from Wilson is the “Control” players category — designed for speed but with a look that many better players prefer. The C300s get their speed from what they call Power Holes located around the outside of the face and sole.

Much like the popular Cortex driver, a fast frame is built into the carbon steel body to get as much power from what is generally considered standard-lofted clubs (anything less than 28 degrees in the 6 iron now could be considered traditional).

Like with the standard chrome model, the Gun Metal C300s with come standard with KBS Tour 105s and Lamkin Crossline Grips, but with Wilson you do get access to a huge selection of shafts from True Temper, KBS, and Nippon in steel.

Retail is set for 999.99 USD. More info on Wilson’s website.

    Not gunmetal. Glossy black with gunmetal face. Lies.

    Thank goodness. I was afraid the new finish would slow this baby down.

    Many people would spend a thousand on a set of Wilson
    irons. They are testing better than many other big name brands. Your behind the times.

    They all look cool when new, but give them 20 rounds and they will look a mess. These shiny black finishes wear terribly

    Once again the most important picture at address is missing. Not sure why that view is the most missed when pics of clubs are posted?

    Like em, but who’s going to drop a grand on a set of Wilson irons these days? Seriously…

      That is simple JP, people who want a quality club as good if not better than most all of the brands with all their unfounded but highly touted marketing hype. Before commenting you should hit them. Wilson is back.

        Back? What’s their market share in irons? Drivers? Fairway woods? Wedges? Putters? Balls?

        Better yet, what is your definition of “back”?

          Just try it and maybe you will find out. You seem to be one who buys the hype and marketing the so called big ones are spending Millions on. Whatever.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
