Wilson Deep Red 305 cc Driver Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2003-04-17, CMT rated this Wilson Deep Red 305 cc Driver a 5...(1130)



Purchase: Purchased used off of ebay after reading quality reviews here and on a few other sites for $109. Got a good deal now that the larger heads are avilable.
Pros: Last year I fell in love with this club the first time I laid eyes on it. It's such a unique looking club and it sets up beautifully. It allows me to stand over the ball with tremendous confidence. The first time I finally got to the range with it, this club blew me away. I've played it several times and taken it for about a dozen range test sessions and the distance is consistantly about 30 yards farther than my typical drive (260 vs 230) and straight. The sweet spot is also very forgiving. Obviously the extra distance helps on long par 4's and par 5's, but there's also been an unexpected side benefit. I'm an 18 handicap, and I now hit 9 out of every 10 drives straight with this club. "Big Red" (as I like to call her) really is a straight hitting club in addition to being a long hitter. This has let me attack more short par 4's and hit wedges into greens where in the past I would have been afraid to pull the driver and settled for 3 or 5 wood then 6-or 7 iron. Finally, strictly for coolness points, the loud, high-pitched ding at impact is very impressive.
Cons: 1. This clubs just looks and sounds so cool, it draws attention to my drives. It does add a bit of pressure though, I don't want to screw up and give such a great club a bad reputation 2. I bought the club used, but I think the OEM grip is a logoed Golf Pride Tour Velvet, I would probably have changed that to a wrap-type grip.
Quality: Wilson has been making quality golf clubs for years. The fit and finish of this unit is impeccable. This is a top quality OEM club comparable to any of the other big names.

Review Summary: Don't be sucked in to thinking that "real" players only play big name drivers. That's a crock. This club hits as far and as straight as any other, even more so. I even noticed that a few of the other big names have moved weight "low and back" in their drivers this year... wonder where they got that idea? Bottom Line, this club is a rocket launcher that wants to keep the ball straight. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new driver, especially the mid handicapper. Now that the larger head sizes are out, it doesn't take much effort to find this gem of a club cheap!
