Every year or two, something new comes along and outshines the previous model. It’s just what happens in golf, or life for that matter. Still, that doesn’t make the 2 year old club obsolete by any means, nor does it make it less valuable. As a Wilson fan, I followed the first season of their hit show, Driver Vs. Driver with a passion. When the winner was finally announced, the Eric Sillies designed “Triton” was crowned champion and Wilson immediately ran it into production and had it up for sale in shops all over the world. Sure there was that conforming issue, but it was fixed almost as fast as it was found. Still, the $450 driver was a customizable monster. The problem for many, it was $450.
Fast forward to today. The Triton still offers the same customizations with the TechX5 deal that it had out of the gate. The Visible Swing Active Technology lets you line up the face straighter than any other model on the market. The changeable sole weights allow you to craft the flight of the ball without any issue. The moveable weights continue to offer more flight adjustment than the average player will ever need and the adjustable hosel allows for even more customization. Finally, you get to the best part of all, the fully customizable shaft options. Now, Budget Golf is selling down quickly on options here, but they still have Aldila’s RIP Phenom 50, Aldila’s Rogue Black 60, an array of the MRC Fubuki Z50 or 60’s, and both the Red and White Tie options from Ozik in stock at the moment. Now flex availability will vary by shaft, but with these options, just about everyone should find a shaft that will give them a good ball flight.
With all of that tech built in to it and the $450 price tag, it’s hard to think how this could be posted in a value blog. That’s where the amazing folks at Budget Golf come in. Right now, and this could change by tomorrow, the Trition with custom shafts is a unbelievable 73% off – or under $120. This isn’t just a good deal, this is one of the best deals you will get for quite some time on a very, very solid performing driver. In fact, when the Triton was release, I gained about 5-10 yards on every shot I was hitting with it with the same shaft I had in my F5. It wasn’t worth it to me to gain half a club at $450, but for 10 yards at $120, that’s worth it. The Triton is available in 3 lofts in right handed models during this sale and a single loft in the left handed model.
This may not be the “best” deal ever on a driver in the history of golf, but it sure is a great one. If you are in the market for a major upgrade to that old driver in your bag, you probably owe it to yourself to check out the Wilson Staff Triton and seriously give it some buying consideration before they are gone – or the price goes up.
