they signed yet another famous name, when Gene Sarazon became the first golfer to be employed directly by the company in what has now become their famous “Wilson Staff Advisory” section. Sarazen turned out to be an inspired choice, as he went on to win three PGA titles, a British Open, and the US Masters title, eventually ending up in the USPGA “Hall of Fame”, and he really put Wilson on the map in the golfing world. ~ ~ Wilson have always been a forward thinking company, and in 1933 one of their golf advisors, Willie Ogg, came up with a revolutionary new design of club called the “Ogg-mented Irons”, that are now considered to be the forerunner of today’s perimeter weighted irons. ~ ~ In the late 1930’s yet another famous name joined the Wilson stable, Sam Snead, and in 1938 a set ...

Review of Wilson Staff Progressive Irons

The Best of Performance Irons

Advantages: Fantastic looks, great forgiveness, good distance
Disadvantages: Not suitable for beginners or the very low handicaps?

and I must admit I find many of their clubs fantastic to look at and the Pi5 are no exception! In the Wilson Staff series there are various degrees of golf club in terms of the standard of player the clubs are aimed at. This begins with the new Di7 model (Distance irons with a larger sole to reduce the effects of off-centre hits) which is the most forgiving. Next is another new model, the Ci6 which is aimed at mid-handicappers; feeling more like a precision players club but incorperating some of the more essential "forgiving" features.

Fat Shaft irons for distance

Advantages: Distance
Disadvantages: None

The clubs I am talking about are regular steel shafted. The marketing line when I bought these clubs two years ago was that the fat shaft 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 ...
