Genesis W1 Plus (2023)
2023 legacy model. The Genesis W1 Plus remains a valid Mercian choice where the player's fit, Standard shape and preference for a softer response match. It is previous-generation stock: price and remaining availability are purchase trade-offs, not reasons for suitability.
How it fits the Mercian choice system
- Fit: 34-inch, 35-inch and 36.5-inch lengths.
- Bend: Standard shape.
- Response: Softer — a controlled, forgiving feel rather than maximum stiffness.
Construction and feel
Wood-led construction with composite reinforcement to support durability and response. Construction describes feel and behaviour; it is not an age or player-level prescription.
Trade-off: choose it for fit and feel first, then compare legacy price and remaining stock.
