Why We Like It
Short of a whiff, few things are more distressing than laying the sod over the ball. How to avoid that? Wilson starts with the sole. A thicker, wider bottom on the all-hybrid-style design features more bounce than its Launch Pad predecessor. This sole allows the club to enter and exit the turf more easily. Slicing also can be an issue for this player type, so the Wilson team added weight to the heel area for a little draw bias.

Reviews
Lives up to the Launch Pad name—flies high and far. Has playable mis-hits. Clean, muted sound. Even with the bigger back end, this gets through the ground really well.
Daniel, 32, Handicap: 12This thing is an excavator. It digs through the turf and launches the ball high. Workable on every type of shot.
Peter, 56, Handicap: 7Wilson cleverly camouflages the technology. The look is reasonable at address, yet it has a lot of help in the back that produces consistent, straight shots. Delivers on its game-improvement mission.
Matt, 51, Handicap: 11Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
