Players Distance Driver

Wilson doesn't chase attention the way some driver brands do, and the Staff FG Tour M5 from 2015 is a good example of that quiet approach. It runs a full 460cc head with no adjustable hosel, so what you tee up is what you get. For plenty of golfers, that simplicity is the whole appeal.

The high-launch design is the headline. If you fight a low ball flight, or you've lost a little clubhead speed and your drives drop out of the sky early, a head built to get the ball up can hand you back real distance. Wilson tuned this one to launch rather than to spin down for the fastest swingers, and it's honest about that.

Coming out of 2015, the M5 lands in a stretch when Wilson leaned on its tour credibility while keeping prices well under the marquee names. You won't find sliding weights or a stack of loft settings. You get one setup Wilson decided works, at a price that usually beats the big brands by a comfortable margin.

• Moderate and slower swing speeds that need help getting the ball airborne and keeping it up.
• Players who'd rather buy the correct loft once than fuss with an adjustable hosel.
• Anyone shopping Wilson's tour line for a driver that undercuts the big brands on price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Wilson Staff FG Tour M5 driver adjustable?

No. The hosel is fixed, so you choose your loft and shaft when you buy and that becomes your setup. Get fit before you commit, because you can't dial it in later.

What swing speed does the FG Tour M5 suit best?

It's built to launch, so it fits moderate and slower speeds best. If you already hit it high and spin it a lot, the high-launch bias can balloon your flight and cost you carry.

How does a 2015 driver like this hold up against newer models?

Driver faces have gotten faster and heads lighter since 2015, so a current model might give you a few more yards. The M5 still gets the ball up well, and used pricing makes it a strong value if you're not chasing every last yard.

Why is the FG Tour M5 cheaper than comparable drivers?

Wilson has always priced below the biggest brands, and leaving out the adjustable hosel and moving weights keeps this one simpler and cheaper to build. You're paying for the head, not the gadgets.

What loft should I get in the FG Tour M5?

Since it launches high on its own, most players don't need to reach for extra loft. Match the loft to your speed and angle of attack, and lean lower if you tend to hit it high.
