We can see there is a slightly wider sole on the cast model so it looks like you’re going to get a lower centre of gravity and a higher ball flight.
Wilson C300 irons review: The results
We took both Wilson C300 irons out on to the course to test them in proper golfing situations.
Initial impressions were great as the sound and feel of both was very pleasing. Even the cast head had a crisp sound but, as you’d expect, this was even better on the forged model.
It was hard to gauge any discernable differences in the performance out on the course other than the cast model launching a touch higher.
When we put both the Wilson C300 irons on the launch monitor there was quite a difference between the two.
I was actually getting a fair bit more distance and overall better performance with the forged model.
My shots with the cast head were often missing right whereas the forged heads were offering a more penetrating flight with more right to left movement.
The performance of the forged Wilson C300 irons is every bit as good as the best irons I have hit in 2017.
I do have to say that the shaft in the forged head was much better for me – KBS Tour 105 – than in the cast head – KBS Tour 90.
Every time I get fitted for irons I tend to go into a shaft with a little bit more weight and lighter shafts can result in wider dispersion.
Wilson C300 irons review: NCG verdict
Regardless of the shaft issue, I wouldn’t look past the forged model of the Wilson C300 irons as it seemed to me there was no sacrifice from a forgiveness or confidence point of view at all.
They look a bit sleeker, the sound a bit crisper and for me, the numbers were better.
Yes, you are going to pay a bit more for the forged heads but in my opinion, it’s worth the extra cost.
Along with the new C300 driver, this is the best range yet from Wilson in my opinion. There’s definite improvement from previous iterations and the performance it right up there.
The forged Wilson C300 irons can go toe-to-toe with anything else on the market at the moment.
