D200 iron
Looks
Wilson maintains its heritage of classic blade shapes in this maximum game-improvement club. Two testers did not appreciate the thickness of the sole and overall chunky looks. Tester's comment: "Good combination of well-hidden technology with an attractive finish."

Feel
Nice, pleasantly soft feel on centre hits. Lightweight shaft and head felt well-balanced and easy to control through impact. Sound at impact felt much more "clicky" than the D100, however, and that affected its score. Tester's comment: "The SL 85 shaft felt like it aided a higher flight than some of the others."
Performance
Solid firepower with the new Speed Sole Technology, particularly up against the D100 of last year, but the added weight pods did little to improve accuracy. A big sweetspot ensured a real ease of launch and good forgiveness for the majority. Tough to work both ways. Tester's comment: "Solid rather than spectacular."
Verdict
If you are not willing to splash the big cash on a new game-improvement iron but want something that provides added distance, good forgiveness and is slightly larger in size to look down on at address, the Wilson Staff D200 is well worth a look at this season, particularly given it is half the price of some of the leading contenders in our 2015 Game Improvement Irons Test.
