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

Why Wesley Bryan is playing two 4-irons this week
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…Flash forward to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and Bryan is still playing with a mixed Takomo set, except he’s added a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron, and he’s dropping his 5-iron.
That bears repeating: Bryan is switching to an iron setup that consists of two 4-irons and no 5-iron.
On paper, that looks wrong, but when you look at yardage gapping instead of the number on the sole of the iron, things start to make more sense.
As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com on Tuesday in Texas, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards. Then, his new hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which he recently started testing “a couple weeks ago” and bent about 2 degrees weak, goes about 220 yards, and the Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards.
Speaking on his new Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which sells for $119, Bryan had this to say:
“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good,” said Bryan. “If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club…[I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.
“I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

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.
