Design and Technology
The Wilson Triton Driver comes with two interchangeable sole plates. The 22-gram titanium soleplate is designed to lower the club’s center of gravity, this helps in creating a higher launch angle with less backspin.

In addition to the soleplates, the Wilson Triton Driver also offers fine-tuning through 4 movable weights (two 2 grams, and two 6 grams) that are placed in the three weight ports located on the heel, back and toe of the club. These weights can be placed in 18 different combinations and are designed to help golfers fine-tune their club to create a perfect ball flight. By moving the weight placement in the three slots ports, players can either adjust the shot trajectory (higher or lower) or create fades and draws.
The Wilson Triton Driver also comes with 1:1 Swing Active Technology. This revolutionary crown feature makes set up and addressing the ball consistent and easy. The idea behind this technology is to place a 1 to 1 alignment aid across the top of the driver because alignment is something that many golfers struggle with. The Swing Active Technology was purposefully designed to only be a slightly narrower than that of a golf ball, this help players to align the club face to the ball, and the club face to the target. The 1:1 Swing Active Technology aid helps to improve ball striking, accuracy, distance, and consistency. Additionally, the Wilson Triton Driver also comes with a 6 setting adjustable hosel that allows for players to increase or decrease the loft and draw setting of the club of the club 1 degree.

How Does the Wilson Triton Driver Compare?
Rogue Sub Zero Driver
The Rogue Sub Zero Driver is getting a lot of excitement as the follow up tour-level driver for the hugely successful Epic Sub-Zero. The Rogue Sub-Zero builds on the proven successes of the Epic to provide faster ball speeds, faster swings, and adjustability in a slightly smaller form factor from the rest of the Rogue family. The Rogue Sub-Zero includes advanced Jailbreak technology with carefully engineered X-Face VFT to increase ball speed and forgiveness. The aerodynamic design of the Rogue Sub-Zero driver also improves head speeds by optimizing air flow and reducing drag. The adjustable weights further allow golfers to tailor the spin and launch to their individual game. The Rogue Sub-Zero improves upon what made the Epic Sub-Zero driver so good and rather than attempt a complete redesign of the highly acclaimed driver, Callaway was able to make advances in proven technologies. The Rogue Sub-Zero is likely best for lower handicap consistent amateurs and pros, but even average golfers looking for lower spin and longer drives are already hot for the Sub-Zero.
Cobra Max Driver

That is why the pros are the pros, and we are amateurs.

Well this is the exact theory behind the GX7 Golf Club. A golf club made for amateurs that provides the hitting consistency of a pro. So if you can get over the fact that the GX7 is a “As Seen on TV” Golf Club, you might be amazed by what this little club can do.
