I used to love Wilson Staff clubs – at least, I love the classic 8813 and 8802 Wilson Staff blade putters (I still have both) and my Fybrid 3 and 5 woods (the first editikon, not Wilson’s recent and considerably inferior remake).

But the Spine driver must surely be the worst golf club ever put on the market by a "name" manufacturer. The shaft’s too long, the head shape is just ridiculous and the tinny sound on contact is embarrassing even if you somehow manage to hit it flush. Very difficult to control and with no distance or directional advantage, the Spine has absolutely nothing going for it.

I was foolish enough to buy this club and realized my mistake within a week. I’m afraid Wilson have gone down the path of "any gimmick to attract attention". Don’t be sucked in by positive reviews – it’s a disaster. You’ll note, by the way, that it disappeared after the initial release – Wilson knew how bad it was.

I traded in my Callaway ’Big Bertha’ for a Taylor-Made R7 and still missed 40%-50% of the fairways. I then closed the car door on the shaft of the R7 (accidently) which damaged it beyond repair.
While browsing around in the local golf shop, I checked out the Spine driver and had a few hits in the nets. I fell in love with it right off. After striking a deal with the salesman, I took possession of the demo stick I was using and headed home.
I’ve played only three competition rounds since the purchase and hit the fairway 90% of the time. The thing that amazed me most was the extra distance I’m getting – 20-30 metres more (depending on roll).
This is definitely the most forgiving driver I’ve ever hit! Why Wilson don’t advertise more is beyond me since they make a top quality product.

hi. just thought id rock the boat a little. i play off a 7. im no hack, and im a technology junkie. and i am psychotic when it comes to the big dogs. longstoryshort. i cannot hit this thing. its a slice or a hook. the odd occasion i middle it, it only goes 230-250, majority of this is a roll. i have snapped the original UST stock shaft.(UST worst shaft quality of all, unless ur on the payroll). i have used aldila nvs stiff with no improvement, got it reshafted to a aldila nvs 65-reg but cut off an extra inch to allow for subtle rigidity. anyways, not sure why i cant hit it, but i seem to leave it in the bag…im playing with my trustie cobra ld….go cobra, offset all the way

Just purchase this driver and what a joy to hit. I had been playing a taylor made burner and this club is 20 yards longer and much forgiving. Great shaft in this club and have not hit the ball as long for many years. very happy with the club.Goes very straight and long long long.

This is the longest driver out and I have hit almost everything. The ball flys straight and this may be the best looking driver as well. I will miss my Cobra F Speed LD but with this Wilson I am gaining 20 yrds.

Only played one round with it, but the indications are there that I have found a gem of a club. While I didn’t hit every fairway, when I missed it wasn’t by much. This is a vast improvement for me.

this driver is great, i have used a ping g2 for the last 4 years and have not found a driver that came c lose to it for me in regards to accuracy and distance , seeing i twas getting a little old istarted looking around for a replacement , i tried the taylormades and i tried the new pings and callaways and seemed to like the FT-I from callaway but did not fancy paying 700 odd dollars , then i read a review on this driver , i had liked the way the cleaveland hi-bores sat at address and this club seems to be half FT-I and half HI-BORE , i found the shallower face a little different to begin with but i got used to it really quick , it has put at least 20-25 metres on my drives and i was by no means short in the first place and i am still hitting plenty of fairways , i used it on the launch monitor and the spin rate was miles lower than any other driver i tried which is why i got extra distance , my normal shot is a power fade so back in to the wind with the low spin rate i am actually out driving the guys who draw the ball who used to get me by heaps back into the wind and at below 400 bucks it has to be one of the best value drivers around , at worst give it a demo i am sure you will like it , and btw i play off 8 if that helps anyone
