Wilson Staff Launch Pad – Irons

The Wilson Staff Launch Pad 2020 irons are designed to make the game easier, offering high launch, forgiveness, and consistency. They are aimed primarily at players who struggle with long irons or who tend to hit the ground before the ball.

The most striking feature is the unique Launch Pad sole, which is very wide and designed to glide across the turf instead of digging in, helping to keep the clubface in the correct position at impact.

Launch Pad Sole

The Launch Pad Sole technology is at the heart of these irons.

The extra-wide sole, especially in the long irons, increases the surface area in contact with the ground and uses a combination of width, camber, and bounce to reduce the tendency of the head to dig into the turf.

The result is an iron that tends to glide over the grass, making it easier to achieve clean contact even when the strike is slightly behind the ball. Wilson claims a reduction in “fat” shots of up to 75%.

Hollow construction and thin face

The Launch Pads feature a hollow construction, which allows for an extremely thin face.

This structure promotes higher ball speed and helps generate distance and trajectory height without requiring a particularly powerful swing.

Progressive sole

The sole width varies progressively based on the iron.

The long irons have a much wider and more forgiving sole, designed to facilitate launch and improve turf interaction. In the short irons, the sole becomes progressively more traditional, allowing for greater precision on approach shots.

This configuration therefore allows you to have maximum assistance where it is needed most, without making the irons used for shorter shots excessively bulky.

Ease of launch and tolerance

The low center of gravity, hollow construction, and very wide sole work together to facilitate ball launch.

The Launch Pads are classified as Super Game Improvement irons and are particularly interesting for mid-to-high handicap players, beginners, or those simply looking for an extremely easy-to-play set.
