WILSON STAFF C300 hybrid
Wilson Staff’s deep red C300 hybrid features “Power Holes”—urethane-filled slots—
strategically positioned on the crown and sole directly adjacent to the clubface, that
expand the sweet spot for more ball speed across the entire face. The purpose of
the holes is to let the face flex in more at impact and then rebound quickly, so that
shots rocket off at a high velocity for plus-size distance. Wilson previously used
the holes in its irons—this is the first time the technology is offered in its woods.
Adjustable sole weights help tune ball flight to draw or neutral—via a pair of 2-gram
weights and one 12-gram weight. Lofts are available in 17, 20 and 23 degrees.

TOUR EDGE
Exotics CBX IS Iron-Woods
Tour Edge has long specialized in making
outstanding, hollow-body iron-woods
that generally look like thick irons but play
more like woods. Now comes its new
complete set of hollow-body Exotics CBX
IS Iron-Woods. Each club has a traditional
forged iron’s look, feel and control yet
produces the distance and forgiveness
of a metalwood. The club construction
allows for the clubface to bend in at
impact and then rebound quickly, which
generates plenty of ball speed for
distance. These set up “like a blade and
deliver power like a metalwood...you can
control these clubs very easily,” says Tour
Edge president and master club designer
David Glod. $1,049-$1,399/7-piece
steel- or graphite-shafted set; $899-
$1,199/6-piece. touredge.com

PXG 0311 X GEN2 driving iron
Driving irons can be ideal alternatives to traditional
woods off the tee. PXG’s new 0311 X GEN2 driving
iron is billed as providing high performance with low
spin, in a confidence-inspiring profile. It’s designed to
deliver a penetrating, low-flying ball flight—something
that’s particularly useful in windy or adverse weather
conditions. A thin top rail, minimal offset and wide
sole also contribute to the cause. COR2 is a vibration-
dampening material that’s injection-molded into
the clubhead to boost ball speed, distance and
accuracy—and create a solid feel and sound at
impact. $400-500, depending on finish. pxg.com
