The technology behind the woods includes a high-strength and super thin Carpenter Custom face delivers great feel and higher ball speeds.

Many aspects of the club design are aimed at promoting a draw bias, including face angle and geometry, a moderate offset, the head shape and a center of gravity positioned forward and heelward.

The one concern would be the offset design which at times can be too pronounced and make the club seem a bit closed at address.

There are only two Launch Pad Fairways, a 3-wood and 5-wood with both non-adjustable.

The reason for this is due to the inclusion of an FY Hybrid, or Fybrid, in Wilson’s range which is a cross between a fairway wood and a hybrid. This will fill the gap of a more lofted fairway wood.
