Fister Golf Model I
Wilson Staff D-100 One of the best drivers for 2013 and thats why we have it on our Golf Central Preferred list. The Wilson Staff D-100 driver is the brand’s lightest yet, the Right Light™ technology delivering faster clubhead speeds which result in greater distances. Wilson’s enhanced cup face design and variable face thickness technology helps fire the ball off the face quicker and works in combination with the variable thickness in the clubface, giving the driver a larger sweet spot for plenty of forgiveness on off-centre drives. All none-essential weight has been moved lower in the clubhead, helping the driver attain a deeper centre of gravity and heighten the launch angle, which increases the MOI to aid forgiveness.

The Model I incorporates 3-time RE/ MAX World Long Drive Champ Sean “The Beast” Fister’s knowledge of long-driving into technology that can benefit golfers of all skill levels. The Model I features: 1. Billet Fire Forged SP700 Beta Ti Face that provides superior strength and a more consistent CT in and around the impact zone. 2. Accordion Compression Chamber which incorporates a series of three cavities designed to absorb and redistribute the stress forces, typically encountered at impact, away from the face of the clubhead. 3. Variable Crown Thickness which removes discretionary weight from areas where it is not needed to offer lightweight performance. 4. Precision Tongue-and-Groove Body Construction joining the body to the face that ensures a more consistent body shape and dimension. Available through www.fistergolf.com
