Wilson Staff Launchpad 2 Golf Irons

The invention of the golf hybrid was a game changer from many amateur golfers. Initially released as long iron replacement, these low profile, easy to launch clubs allowed them to hit towering distance shots from the fairway and semi-rough that had previously been unachievable. Over the past few seasons manufacturers have started to expand the hybrid design into higher and higher lofts and now we have reached the point whereby you can now buy full sets of irons in a hybrid design.

Whilst this may seem like a huge departure from the norm, moving to a complete set of hybrid design irons could well be the solution for thousands of golfers who tend to struggle with their iron strikes. One of the hardest aspects of striking irons properly is hitting the golf ball first and then the ground. Many of us will either hit the ground before the ball resulting in a “fat” shot, or we don’t hit the ground at all and catch the ball half way up, resulting in a “thin” shot. The ability to do this well is the single biggest difference between the best players in the world and the worst. This is where a set of hybrid design irons, like the new Wilson Staff Launchpad 2 irons, can make a massive difference.

The Wilson Staff Launchpad 2 Irons are a feature laden set of hybrid design irons that builds on the success of the original version. They have been specifically designed to help golfers get the ball airborne with increased distance, forgiveness and confidence. The Launchpad sole is much wider than you would find on a standard set of irons and requires far less precision to hit a golf shot with a decent result as it effectively floats above the turf and prevents any digging in should the club impact the turf before the ball. This sole design also results in a much higher launching ball flight which can help achieve greater distance for lower speed players.

The heads themselves are a hollow construction and they support a supremely thin clubface which offers a trampoline effect on the golf ball and increases ball speed and increases distance. The head design is a progressive one which means the longer irons have larger hybrid heads and offer a more confidence inspiring profile at address in the clubs that need it the most. They have also been constructed with extremely lightweight components which allows golfers to swing at greater speeds without the requirement of any extra effort. The Wilson Staff Launchpad 2 Irons also have midsize grips installed as standard which encourages a comfortably strong grip and helps to increase confidence.

Wilson have changed the finishing technique to the paintwork on the Launchpad 2 irons. Due to their larger than normal size, they can be subjected to some knocking whilst being transported in your golf bag around the course. Wilson have combated this issue by applying a stunning anti-scratch finish to them which will see these excellent clubs retain their new look for a much longer period of time.

If you are one of the thousands of golfers who really struggles to hit iron shots properly, then the Wilson Staff Launchpad 2 Golf Irons could well be the solution to all your problems. They are another fantastic addition to our new range of Wilson Golf products.
