I've had these for about 5 years now, and had them custom made (+2* loft, +1/2" shaft). Yes, you get a sting if it's thin or off the toe with these, but you're supposed to. I prefer these to the Deep Reds, because the insert in the Reds takes away the feel. I can also fade them (or slice or hook them) on command. They can be straight, but my preferred flight is a slight draw, and with the offset head, these provide it. Yes, they're long, but they're also consistent-with a consistent swing. These clubs are great, because their consistency lets me know whether the tweak I'm working on is a good or bad one. I am now a 17 hcp, and hit around 90 very consistently on a fairly tough course (127 slope). Everytime I sccessfully tweak another piece, my game gets more consistent. I don't know about you, but my swing is a continual work in progress. I'm not sure Wilson makes a Staff Fat Shaft now, but I have seen the Staff models on Ebay for practically nothing. Look for the Wilson Staff logo on the back of the iron, these are the top of line. I've hit a set of newer irons, 2000 models I think with graphite shafts and those irons did not perform up to the caliber of my 1997-98 model. There are notable differences in those variations. One thing of note is that there are a few different versions of this iron on the used and new market. This was a bit annoying but not a huge matter.Ĭertainly not all irons appeal to everyone, but these are most definitely worth a look for anyone interested in a game improvement club. I did have to have them custom bent, the lie angles were not consistent, nor were the loft angles. I like the narrow topline a great deal, so much nicer than many other irons that have a huge, fat topline - Callaway for example. What I do like the most is that they are consistent and have a fantastic set up. I do not feel that these irons are all that long though, I find them to be pretty standard, and even a bit weak on the long irons. I agree with others that say the regular flex shaft plays about equal to a standard stiff. I have never regretted that choice and even still when I test other irons, I still prefer my now old Fat Shafts. My decision came down to the Top Flite Tour and the Wilson Staff Fat Shafts and I went with the Wilsons. Cobra, Lynx, Top Flite, Callaway, Taylor Made, Ping, etc. I tested clubs extensively in 19, all the big names.
