What Comes in the Set?

Driver

“The Wilson Tour RX set comes with a composite titanium driver complete with a graphite shaft.”

This is a 460cc driver so it was built for forgiveness. The thing I liked the most about this driver was that it produced effortlessly straight and high flight which is something you’re going to want if you’re a high handicapper.

The graphite shaft is light which is good for slow swingers. It sounds a little clunky and the feedback could be sharper; but overall this is a very forgiving driver that will suit the needs of most beginners and high handicappers.

3 Wood

“The #3 fairway wood has a noticeably low center of gravity and also comes with a graphite stock shaft.”

Whether you are using the Wilson Tour RX 3-wood off the tee or turf, expect towering apex height. I especially liked using this fairway wood for long approaches because I was able to affect soft landings on the green.

The flight is remarkably straight as well so actually hitting the green from distance was surprisingly easy.

Hybrids

“The Wilson Tour RX set comes with #3 and #4 hybrids.”

I’m not a fan of including a #3 hybrid in sets that already have a very forgiving #3 fairway wood but oh well. At least the 4H bridges the distance gap seamlessly with the 5-iron in this set. The hybrids also have expansive sweet spots so they are incredibly forgiving – even if the turf interaction is a bit clunky.

Irons

“The Wilson Tour RX set includes irons 5-SW”

The irons are perimeter weighting, have deep undercut cavities and wide soles. The launch on these irons is almost dangerous. They produce high-arcing shots that can balloon easily if you’re not  careful. But they are remarkably forgiving and feel smooth through all kinds of lies.

Even my severe toe-side mis-hits were staying on-line and landing within 8 yards (laterally) of the target. I lost some carry yardage to the high flight but the overall distance was pretty good – average carry distance of 148.7 yards with the 7-iron.

The dispersion was tight and the sweet spot can’t be missed. They look very chunky behind the ball; but I’m sure most high handicappers won’t mind that.

Putter

“The mallet putter looks cool but the performance was underwhelming.”

It didn’t feel very well-balanced and the alignment marker was hard to use. The rollout was delayed noticeably so it was hard to stick to my intended path. This is probably the weakest club in the bag.

Set Composition

The woods in this set all come with graphite shafts while the irons, wedges and putter have steel shafts. The driver head is made from composite titanium. The hybrids and the irons are made of stainless steel.

Other Sets to Consider

Wilson Reflex

“The Wilson Reflex golf club set includes a driver, #3 fairway wood, #5 hybrid, irons 6-SW and an Anser-style putter.”

I liked that the woods in this set felt very light and fast through my transition. I think it  would be a good option for high handicappers who want to work on their swing speed. Like the Wilson Tour RX irons, the Reflex irons have an oversized profile.

Pros:

• Forgiving irons
• Good for beginners
• Stand bag included

Cons:

• Heavy irons

Overall Score: 96/100

• Woods play long
• Quality putter
• Forgiving irons

Cons:

• Flimsy bag
