Wilson C300 Irons Review

Key Features

While Wilson has added many new features to its C300 Irons. Here are the features that stand out the most:

• Flex Face Technology
• Power Holes
• KBS Tour 90 Shafts

In a later section, we will discuss each of these features and how they affect playability. But it is important to note what Wilson is attempting to do with this combination of features. By using a patented clubface technology and premium shafts, Wilson is trying to create more distance and forgiveness across the clubface.

Another thing you may notice with these three features is that the Wilson C300 Irons are targeted more towards the higher end. Other clubs that feature KBS Tour Shafts and special clubface architecture include TaylorMade M6 Irons and Callaway Mavrik Irons. So it seems that the C300 Irons should fall within similar performance standards.

Who is suited to these irons?

As we have already established, Wilson has created the C300 Irons to be a higher-end iron set. This means that for the most part, the C300 irons are meant for a more experienced golfer. But because the C300 are cavity back irons, they are intended for golfers who are looking for more forgiveness and distance.

This means that the best-suited golfers for the Wilson C300 Irons are very experienced mid-range handicappers. The reason mid-range handicappers are best suited is because of the need for the forgiveness of cavity back irons while still getting great performance. Put simply, experienced mid handicappers know they don’t need top tier forged clubs but still want quality cavity back irons.

Of course, other groups of golfers can still give the C300 Irons a try. But with a $430 price tag, they aren’t great for beginners. And since they are a cavity back design, they lack the workability and feel that low handicappers want.

Technology & Playability

Now that we have covered the key features of the C300 Irons and who is best suited for them, its time to take deep dive into the technology of this iron set. One of the biggest technological advances in the C300 Irons is Flex Face Technology. This technology utilizes open air pockets behind the clubface for more flex and greater ball speed.

To make Flex Face possible, Wilson had to rethink the way a clubhead could be made. By creating multiple holes behind the clubface, Wilson realized that they could create better face flex while lowering weight. After some refinement, these “Power Holes” were put into production and are the key to the C300 irons great distance. Golfers can see where each of these holes are by the small black caps inserted in each end.

For playability, the Wilson C300 Irons keep true to their cavity back design. So they are very forgiving and produce good distance even on slightly mishit shots. One area that the C300 irons outshine regular cavity back irons is the swing speed. Thanks to a lower clubhead weight and light KBS Tour 90 Shaft, the C300 swings fast. So if you want a little more swing speed the C300 Irons can help you out.

Benefits & Drawbacks

Many of the benefits of C300 Irons revolve around distance and forgiveness. For most golfers, this is exactly what they are looking for. Swing speed is also another great benefit of the C300 and something that other cavity back irons sometimes lack. All of these benefits are the biggest selling points of the Wilson C300 Irons.

But there are some drawbacks. Being cavity back irons, the C300 Irons are lacking in the “feel” department. Of course for those used to cavity back irons, this isn’t a big deal breaker. But if you are a golfer who likes lots of feel, the C300s might not be for you. Another drawback is that there is little workability due to lower weighting. The final drawback is that the C300 Irons are a little pricey, coming in at just shy of $450 for an eight club set.

Bottom Line

Overall, the Wilson C300 Irons are an excellent set of irons that play just as well as they look. They have the all technology that other higher-end iron sets have including a premium third-party shaft. All this comes priced just a bit lower than some of the other larger brands’ comparable irons.

Our recommendation for those looking to purchase the Wilson C300 Irons is to make sure that these irons will fit your game. If you’re not a beginner or someone who is looking to work the ball, then these irons will probably work great. Plus, if you want more swing speed, the C300 Irons definitely have an edge compared to other irons.
