Wilson Staff Smooth
$349, graphite

It's for: All skill levels
Key feature: Lower lofts designed for better players, higher lofts for high handicappers
More mass farther rearward in higher lofts (such as 12°) means higher MOI and
more built-in forgiveness than in lower lofts.
Translation: Lower lofts are more workable,
higher lofts more forgiving. Shifting a club's
center of gravity back also increases [dynamic] loft as you swing. The face has varying
thicknesses to pump up ball speed on offcenter
hits. Fujikura's E-Fit 100 shaft (for slower
swingers) has a flexible tip to increase launch
and add spin. Fujikura's E-Fit 300 is for stronger,
faster swingers who benefit from less spin and
mid launch conditions.
