What we say...
Wilson Staff’s C300 Hybrid has been engineered for the crossover player who wants greater forgiveness and distance
The new C300 woods have been engineered for the Crossover player, identified as a mid-to-low handicapper seeking greater distance, workability and forgiveness.
The brand’s Feel, Crossover and Distance (F-C-D) system is designed to meet the scoring needs of every type of golfer. Wilson Staff defines players under these three categories so that club features and benefits can be matched with individual playing styles and abilities.
Wilson Golf’s C300 Hybrid including the same pioneering Power Holes around the clubhead as the fairway wood, and features sole weight adjustability with two weights positioned to create a neutral or draw setting.
The silver (12gram) weight in the toe combined with the black (2gram) weight in the heel creates the standard setting with the reverse set-up for the draw. Each Fast Fit Technology 3.0 setting features three loft options (17°, 20° & 23°) to help golfers find the perfect set-up.
The C300 hybrid is available with a Fujikura Speeder Pro 78h shaft (78 grams) and a Wilson Staff classic Lamkin Crossline pattern grip. Left hand available in 20° and 23° loft options.
Wilson Golf’s C300 Hybrid Review: You need to know
A progressive head design means the higher lofts have smaller heads so you get maximum forgiveness in the longer shafted lower lofts. Micro vortex generators on the crown reduce drag and improve aerodynamics so you generate maximum carry on every shot.
Wilson Golf’s C300 Hybrid Review: We say
The D300 is a book you really shouldn’t judge by its cover. It’s tiny but wide head looks more like a little fairway wood than hybrid. And initially we thought the size could zap confidence from the very golfers its designed to help. Yet the results it produced were remarkable. Simon was caught off guard by its ability to launch shots higher than other hybrid he tested without robbing valuable yards.
The D300’s shaft weighs in at just 54g. It’s 28g lighter than some of the competition and much closer to the weight of a standard driver shaft. We felt it gave a really positive responsive feel and meant the D300 racked up a carry distance 3 yards further than the test average.
When and how to replace your 5-iron
Wilson Golf’s C300 Hybrid Review: Verdict
Unlike drivers, golfers are much less likely to buy a hybrid because it generates a few more yards. So your criteria for buying hybrids should be different. If your criteria shortlist includes easy to launch, forgiveness, good distance and ball speed protection then the D300 is a great option.
