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

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.

Review of Wilson Staff Fat Shaft Irons

Wilson Hyper ProStaff 5.0

Advantages: Good pucnh and good control for an hyper carbon racket
Disadvantages: needs more control

This is a pretty good racket. Coming into the hyper carbon era in tennis from graphite this racket has a lot of punch to it, and also has a lot of control to it. The control may not be has good as the original ProStaff graphite racket which was used by former no. 1 Pete Sampras.

The punch in this racket makes it easier to play shots witm more power and little effort, however the draw back with this racket for me has been when trying to attack an approach ball. When you try to put a little more effort in the attack the racket usually ends up giving to much of a punch making the ball out of control. ...
