The company that boasts more Major championship wins with its irons
than any other manufacturer in history rolls out revolutionary new
equipment for all skill levels
CHICAGO, Oct. 12, 2009 - Building on nearly a century of designing,
engineering and developing state-of-the-art golf equipment for every
skill set, Wilson Golf proudly announces its 2010 lineup from Wilson
Staff, Wilson Golf's premium line of professional golf equipment.
Wilson Golf remains the most prolific manufacturer of irons in the
world, with 61 Major championships won with Wilson irons, more than any
other golf company in history.
Player Profiling Simplifies Product Offerings
To help with trade positioning and consumer understanding, Wilson
categorizes its Staff product lines into three player types: F Player,
C Player and D Player.
The F (Feel) Player is a skilled golfer looking for Tour-caliber
performance. The new Wilson Staff FG Tour family delivers on these
attributes and includes:
• the FG Tour iron, a cavity-back forged iron played on the PGA TOUR
• the FG Tour golf ball, a multilayer urethane golf ball that is the
softest urethane ball on the market
• the FG Tour glove featuring ultra-thin, premium cabretta leather
The C (Control) Player is an improving player looking for tour-inspired
designs coupled with game improvement technology. The C family
includes:
• the mid-size Ci9 iron, the third-generation Ci iron that follows in
the footsteps of Ci6 and Ci7, both winners of the prestigious GOLF
Magazine ClubTest award, a ratings guide featuring the year's latest
and greatest golf equipment
• the C:25 golf ball, a low-compression multilayer golf ball featuring
excellent distance and optimized spin from inside 150 yards
• the Conform glove, a premium cabretta leather glove offering
breathable mesh for improved comfort and an innovative i-Pure wristband
with negative ions for improved body performance
The D (Distance) Player is the largest player grouping. This player is
looking to hit the ball longer and straighter and relies on game
improvement technology to address swing flaws. The D family includes:
• the powerful Di9 iron, a Hot List winner featuring low and deep
weighting and patented wide-tip shaft technology that prevents twisting
on off-center hits
• the breakthrough D-FY combo iron set, a fully integrated fusion of
irons and hybrids optimized with proprietary Half-and-Half shaft
technology that combines the best attributes of steel and graphite in a
single shaft
• the D:25 golf ball, a low-compression 2-piece golf ball that delivers
maximum distance and total performance in a low 60-compression design
Wilson Golf also announces the new FYbrid HS, a re-engineering of its
revolutionary FYbrid series introduced in 2008. The FYbrid HS, or heavy
sole, series combines fairway woods and hybrids to eliminate redundant
clubs and support long-range distances. Improvements include a new
heavy sole that lowers the center of gravity by seven percent and moves
it 11 percent deeper into the head of the club, resulting in higher
launch and stronger ball flight.
The innovative lineup of Wilson Staff's 2010 equipment will be
available in fall 2009 and consists of the following products:
- Wilson Staff FG Tour forged irons
- Wilson Staff Ci9 midsize playing irons
- Wilson Staff D-FY iron and hybrid combo set
- Wilson Staff Di9 game-improvement irons (now available in women's
options)
- Wilson Staff FYbrid HS (heavy sole) fairway utility clubs (also
available in women's options)
- Three new golf balls: FG Tour golf balls, C:25 golf balls and D:25
golf balls,
- All-new 888 series putters in five distinct and classically styled
shapes
All new Wilson Staff equipment introduced for 2010 will meet the USGA
and R&A's new groove standards which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2010,
for Conditions of Competition for Elite (Tour) Play.
