Do you see any Wilson Staff in bags where you play?

When I bring these out people act like they're looking at some sort of alien club device Neil Armstrong found on the Moon....

If Neil Armstrong found a W/S iron on the moon, it’d be the one that Alan Shepard hit...

 

Yes, that was a Wilson Staff blade!

WOW! While mine are in decent shape, I'm going to get them reconditioned to as-new. I think the guy I bought them from thought he could "get better playing blades"...LOL! [EDIT] In what scenario did he sign a sock? :taunt:

The economics, alone, make Wilson Staff worth a look. For approximately $250 (including shipping), I’ve been able to pick up my V4 Utility iron (very underrated, by the way), V4 irons and two PMP wedges brand new, in plastic. The funny thing is that if I would have bought used, I would have paid roughly the same price. They’re making pro-line stuff at great prices. It doesn’t hurt that I remember their brand as a premium one, not garbage.

My bag has slowly become Wilson Staff dominated—fg59 irons, pmp wedges, infinite putter. No one else I know plays Wilson staff. The unpopularity has made it way too good a value to pass up.

 

You have great taste in irons Sir!

Driver = Callaway Smoke-Ai Max-D 

3 wood = Callaway Smoke-Ai Max HL

3 Hybrid = Tour Edge Exotics C722
Irons = 4-PW Miura KM 700
Gap Wedge = Miura HB 50*

Sand Wedge = Taylormade MG2 56*

Putter = LAB DF3

Ball = TP5x pix / Bridgestone Tour B-X

I see them from time to time and they are actually fantastic golf clubs, the v6 are ball speed monsters in the players iron category. That said, alot of people still get caught up on the fact that they once saw wilson clubs for sale in walmart and think it is a cheap brand.

 

I am considering putting the v6 in play, they work great but my irons work pretty darn well right now too.

 

Whenever I see someone post that as a reasoning online, I point out this link and ask what they think of Callaway, because by that reasoning, they're a cheap brand too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Callaway-Men-s-Strata-Complete-12-Piece-Golf-Club-Set-with-Bag/42441444

I know of two people that currently play the Wilson Staff FG 59 irons. One of the most gorgeous sets of blades. Ever. One player lives in Western PA outside of PIttsburgh and the other in Western MD.

Hi GR? Yes, even though I’ve gotten him the Tour Fg F5’s, along with the MP-25’s, these still sit in his bag as it sits from his last competitive round, which ironically was our district regional BB tournament together. I don’t think he’s accepted that these blades may be beyond him when he returns. We’ll see. I do believe that these and the iron that they were patterned after, the 1976-1978 Tour Blades(that’s it, that was their name) are the finest irons that Staff has ever produced. I hope that you’re well. Oh yes, I’m a WS Staffer and those are my Fg Tours below his picture :)

There is a small local brick and mortar store that sells a lot of W/S products.

~ I see mostly F5 / V6 irons CB irons, I'll also see c300 or d200 / d300

 

I rarely ever see the MB line outside of my own bag. I used to play the FG62 MB a couple years ago.

I feel I have to rep Staff (bag, irons, hat. May switch to PMP raw wedges next year) for a couple reasons:

 

1) still the winningest irons when it comes to majors. That counts for something.

 

2) you can still get "traditional" lofts without having to go to a super small cavity or blade. (Not a concern for me, but others might not want a small head)

 

3) poor resale value. Sure, the guys on here that can't hold on to anything for more than a day might not like this, but it means you can pick up used, premium clubs in great condition for a great price.
