Wilson is clearly aiming for a premium look and feel with the new Aurora 10-piece set. It’s been built from the ground up specifically for women, with a focus on boosting clubhead speed and achieving a higher launch.
While many brands stick to more traditional aesthetics, this feels like a genuine step forward. The combination of high-quality materials and a refined, modern look is clearly designed to give women more confidence on the course. It’s been a while since I’ve put any Wilson clubs to the test, so I was keen to see how they’d stack up against the other best women’s golf sets currently on the market.

My first impression of the Aurora driver was its striking aesthetic. Even though this set is designed specifically for women, there’s no sign of typically feminine colors. Instead, you get a very sophisticated, polished look. The crown is a sleek, glossy black, complemented by gold accents on the face pattern and sole, with a predominantly black shaft to match.
The head cover deserves a mention as well, as the two-tone cream and light brown colorway is striking (officially called Sand, and the material feels like it’ll be easy to keep clean. As for the grip, it’s quite textured. It doesn’t have that same tacky, soft feel you get with the XXIO 14 or PING G Le4 driver, but it still felt secure and solid in my hands.

Of course, feel is entirely subjective, and different women will naturally gravitate toward different weight distributions.
Despite that initial weightiness, which I definitely felt during my takeaway and backswing, its loft made it impressively easy to get the ball airborne. Over a couple of rounds, I did find a decent rhythm off the tee with consistent results. Plus, the sound at impact is lovely, it’s best described as comforting, giving you that stable, solid feedback that lets you know you’ve caught it well.
