Wilson Staff Dd5 Distance Driver
This item has been discontinued.
Manufacturer Description
With Dd5, we've developed the most forgiving club in the history of Wilson Staff. The Nano Ti construction allows almost 15% of the head weight to be redistributed, creating high COR, a deep CG, and optimal launch. Add a USGA maximum head size of 460cc, an ample .428 wide tip Nano Tech shaft, and a deep face design, and the clubs can even make off-center hits look solid.
- Optimal Launch - Strategically placed weight pads in the rear driver move the CG downward for a better launch angle
- Plasma Weld - The plasma weld on the blubface allows weight to be redistributed into more beneficial areas
- Nano Tech Shaft - Our Grafalloy and Wilson Staff proprietary manufacturing process has given rise to a Nano Tech shaft design
- This shaft design increases overall torsion stability, defying head twists during off center hits

After P.Harringion won the Open I thought I'd give Wilson another try. Wow, this puppy is true. Proudly playing the dd5.

Picked this up used. I'd buy it full new price without hestitation. Straight, long, forgiving. Don't be fooled...this is the real deal. Even sounds right. I put down my Ping G2 for this, enough said. 10 out 10.

for my whole life i hit a straight, long drive of over 280 yards consistantly. That goes without saying that i am 36, so that is a lot of golf. I picked up this club for the first time and sliced it right into a pond. Never will i play with this club again.

Frequently asked questions about
Hello,
I understand most drivers come in a 10.5 and 9.5 degree loft. I use a 10.5. When teeing off, my ball usually has a lot of loft and goes really high in the air, should I switch to a 9.5 degree

Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.
Play Well,
Johnny

The higher loft will also be more controllable of the tee..

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //

In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.

Thank you for your question.
You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

You're definitely a regular flex
Senior flex starts from 70-80
Regular is from 80 to about 100
Stiff 100 to 115ish
X-stiff 115+

My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft. With the regular I do not have the same control as with the stiff shaft and distance is almost identical. Try one out on a range or on a monitor. Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.

I have used the YS-6 shaft in the 905T and the FT-i with pretty good success. Can you name me a couple other shafts that you think would give me the same "feel" and control? Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few other brands that have similar weight and launch profiles of the Graphite Design YS series. You should notice that the Aldila NVS 65, the Graphalloy ProLaunch 65, the UST V2 67, and the Fujikura E360 are all very comparable.

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous

That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.

which shaft is better between regular and stiff

Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
