IN THE NEWS A fter seven riveting episodes and a competition that whittled down a field of 11 individuals and teams competing to design Wilson Golf's newest driver, a winner of the innovative reality TV series "Driver vs. Driver" was chosen Nov. 22 – and golfers can now swing for the fences with the Wilson Staff Triton Driver. Designed by Cincinnati native Eric Sillies – who took home $500,000 as the show's winner – the Triton hit the racks at Worldwide Golf Shops stores and its website the day after the show concluded and retails for $449.99. The Triton is billed as the world's most adjustable multi-piece driver. Changeable sole plates allow players to change launch angle and spin rates, and the driver's moveable weights allow for 18 unique combi- nations, meaning there's an option for every swing and shot shape. Hosel adjustments are fast and easy, including three settings for loft and the same three in a draw configuration. A simple visual alignment aid puts golfers in posi- tion for consistent ball-striking every time off the tee. Sillies's design received plenty of praise from the judges – Wilson Golf President Tim Clarke, former USGA Technical Director Frank Thomas, for- mer Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and two-time PGA Tour win- ner Kevin Streelman. But Streelman's endorsement may have been the most meaningful. "I love the way this driver looks, I love the way this driver sounds, and I love the way this driver feels," Streel- man said. "That's a huge part of mak- ing it into my golf bag." > CLICK HERE to buy the driver.
