Review:
I am 56 years old and after many years of no golf I took up the game this past spring. I chose the Wilson Deep Red II Distance driver to learn again. The Deep Red 400cc head instills a positive feeling at address. I have been improving all summer and this last weekend I only missed two fairways. The ball comes off straight and stops at 225-260 yards. I have more confidence with this club than any other in my bag. It is highly recommended for 10-plus handicappers and I can see why. If you are a better golfer (below 10), Wilson has The Deep Red Tour II with a 350 cc head for shot shaping. The Deep Red II will be in my bag next year! I have no special love affair with Wilson but this a great club for the average/good golfer!
