I have been playing golf for about 6 years and recently swapped my Wilson Prostaff graphite irons for a new set of Wilson Fat Shaft Hyper Carbon Irons.
My playing handicap is 17 and being female, struggle to get any distance with my iron shots, however I believe that is all about to change.
The Wilson Fat Shaft technology, I believe has the right idea for these clubs. With club head sizes increasing over the years, it makes sense to increase the shaft diameter producing less torque which means less twisting which means greater accuracy.
A fatter shaft results in significanlty larger tip diameter, depending on the type of clubs.
Iron's tip diameter is, .500", Hyper Carbon Graphites .535" (compared to the standard .370")and with the woods, .480" (compared to standard .335")
Wilson states - "The ultimate Club head stability producing ultimate accuracy, new cavity balanced head extends and expands the sweetspot in a uniform way towards the toe where 85% of all shots are hit, the result being ultimate forgiveness and accuracy"
There are 3 types of irons available on the market just now, Steel Shaft retailing at about £400 for 9 irons, Hyper Carbon Graphite Shafts retailing at about £600 and ladies Fat Shaft Hyper Carbon Irons retailing at about £500.
I was fortunate enough to shop around and purchased a full set of irons, a driver, 3 and 5 wood, bag and copper insert putter from my local pro for a special price of £699, which is about £500 less than the RRP.
Since I sarted palying with them, I can honestly say that I have gained about 25 yards distance with each iron. I am now consistantly hitting a 7 iron about 130 yards when before I would have taken a 5 iron or 7 wood for this distance.
The grips are very nice and the clubs generally have a nice feel about them. They are quite light but perfectly weighted. Each time you connect with the ball, you get a meaty feeling and sound and I find the ball is most certainly ending up where I am aiming it.
As for the driver, I used a Callaway Big bertha before which I could hit about 250 yards, if I connected with it well, but unfortunately, that did not happen very often, and most of the time I would have been better hiting a 5 iron from the tee. Now however, I am consistantly hitting my driver dead straight and consistantly 250 yards.
i have already returned 3 scores below my handicap since starting to use my new clubs and I hope that one I can sort out my putting I might reduce it to single figures - we live in hope!!
I thoroughly recommend that anyone thinking about purchasing a new set of clubs go and visit their local pro shop and demo the new fat shafts - it puts the enjoyment back into the game - for me certainly.
...several years ago now that Wilson developed the new Fat Shaft technology. I thought at first that it made so much sense that the other manufacturers would follow suit but that was not the case, however, I still like the idea and it has helped my game (I keep thinking about that old saying - a bad workman always blames his tools?!)

Advantages: Suberb Accuracy and Huge Distance Disadvantages: Expensive
...was then introduced to the Wilson Fat Shafts and everything has changed. I paid £399 for the set of nine irons which I thought was a good price (I did shop around) the first couple of rounds were an absolute nightmare, all iron shot were very accurate but the distances I was ghitting the ball were awsome. I am a pretty average guy and with my old set of clubs was averaging about 150 yards with a 7 iron. These clubs have put 25 yards on my game, I ... ...three off my handicap, not only that but have have the enthusiasm all over again and it is great. (Just in case you were thinking, I have no connections with Wilson at all, and I cant get you the same price for a set of clubs so please dont ask) ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Wilson Fat Shafts Irons"
The clubs I am talking about are regular steel shafted. The marketing line when I bought these clubs two years ago was that the fatshaft reduced the "twist" of the clubhead on mishit shots and so resulted in a straighter shot. Good marketing line. As I'm sure you all know there is no miracle cure in golf and so you can still hit bad shots with these clubs. Having said that, I would recommend these clubs. The main difference I found with the FS irons against my previous set (Maxfli VHL) was the distance I hit the mid and especially short irons. There was really no difference up to 5 iron, after that I found a considerable increase e.g wedge now flies 140 yards as opposed to 125 yards.
All golf clubs have to suit the individual personally. By this I mean they have to look and feel right to you before you've hit the shot. These irons do ...
Advantages: Reliable and easy to use for a beginner Disadvantages: Not terribly long-hitters
My Wilson Fatshaft Irons were the first set of clubs I ever bought just over 2 years ago. So obviously I haven't been playing golf for long and comparatively could probably still be referred to as a beginner. I was recommended this set of irons by my club pro as they were in my price range and good for beginners. The set I bought also incorprated "hybrid" clubs for extra distance in the 3 and 4 irons.
------The Head----------
The club-heads are on the hole quite non-descript. Simply saying Wilson and the iron number on the club sole and Fatshaft on the back of the head you wouldn't take a second look. The heads do offer a great deal of forgiveness on off centre shots (which I was thankful for) but reward greatly for the sweetly hitten shots as the ball flys high and straight. The cavity back on these irons also helps with distance ...
