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?

      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.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
