    Got my Cortex yesterday as I was leaving to play. So, I unwrapped it, set the weights to 8gr in the heel and off I went. The thing is great. I was a bit weak from the flu but still got it our there, but the impressive thing was I played Nine holes and hit every Fairway down the middle. Run out was good and it is in the bag until the Cows come home.

    Left Handed, heavy weight in the heel, sliding weight 3/4 back, set to 12 degrees, Std reg shaft in R flex. Great club.

    Ah Wilson. In reading some of the comments I have to laugh, they make a great product. 500 Bucks is actually less than some of the “designer” Clubs by Callaway, TM, and other “great” Clubs. From what I hear it is as good as most of them. Actually mine is on order and from what I hear it is great.. I also have the Triton DVD which to anyone that knows anything about Clubs is not junk. Sure it is loud, it has a Silver strip on the top, but it does perform quite well, and it is long. When you a BONK, you know you got the sweet spot and it will be out there, and it is the longest and straightest in my Arsenal of Drivers.

    I am now waiting for the Cortex and if it is better it will be a real gamer. So, we shall see. But don’t put down the Triton just yet.

    What are the specs on the driver (length, swing-weight, lie) and shaft options (torque, weight, etc.)? For some reason Wilson doesn’t give club specs on their website and I don’t understand why.

    Hey, Brian… what about a “FADE” adjustment weight… or is “fade” too close to banana slice which 95% of all golfers worldwide hit?

    Wilson should offer to buy back the “Triton” or at least offer a fair amount in trade for the new DVD driver. As it stands the “Triton” is worth less then $50 in trade, which shows the value of Wilson Products…
