 But yes. There are a few clubs that they need to redo because of grip or shaft availability on such a quick turnaround but they’ve assured us all will be corrected ASAP.

That's so cool!

Looks like an incredible experience, can't wait to see the "in the bag" pics of what everyone ended up with.

Imagine driving up to #10 at Pinehurst and seeing four of these lined up.

 Wilson went way above and beyond on this trip.

Oh that's amazing!  Waiting for the layover photo dumps while you boys are on your way home 🙂

Let us know how you like those bags. I wanted to get one but then that color was sold out! So I ended up getting a Jones Rover Stand.

Are you going to change your user name now?

I’ve had this one for almost 20 years now. I haven’t played TM clubs in years. I made it back when everyone was chasing tour TM gear.

Here’s one I snapped on the range. The folks at Wilson are going to send a couple of the new utilities for me to see what fits right for gapping. 

[mikes919]

Nice, the CB's are super sharp looking! I see you went with the "plastic wrapped" option to knock the spin down a bit. 😄

[molecularman]

What a sweet set-up.    That is so awesome they were able to get the sets mostly built out so you can use them on the round.

Now the question -  how do you get those and your current sets both home!?

Outstanding write-up @Olson12!  I’ve been on Wilson’s site the last 30 minutes shopping for wedges 😬

 

Hope yall have a blast on #10!

Well?!!  Did you order them?

how did you play?

I was forced against my will to tip it out 😜.  No. 10 is 7040 yards from the Tips & a par 70. 
 

I’ll have full write up at some point in the next day but I shot 41-43. Only one birdie and 4 doubles on the back I think.  The back 9 was SOOOOO LONG.

 

Harry from Wilson Golf shot an effortless 69 and missed 2 putts inside 6 ft.

Unbelievable effort by Wilson and the participants, did they happen to discuss their current market share of the club/ball industry and how it might be building?

[craz-e]

really love popping back into this thread and seeing the new comments. What a great experience for the lucky participants, hit them well boys and kudos to the team at W/S

They packed up our old gear and shipped them to our houses.

Quigley drops the bomb and pops the question😅

 

Anyone play the round with the either version of the new model Staff Ball?

I used the model X, very good off the irons and wedges, I need more testing off the driver but I had a couple really good ones there too. Performs and feels a lot like a ProV1x. No. 10 is an incredible golf course, fair, plenty of room off the tee, but with some really sloping and varied green complexes.

 

Wilson teased a surprise but I wasn’t expecting this, they really went above and beyond for us. I ended up with ZM wedges, MBs, and the Carbon driver. The irons feel and look great and they managed to keep the swing weight manageable for me despite being 3/4” long with 6.5s 😬.

Very good, going to give the ball a try.  Hope you have an update on the irons after you play them a bit.  The 2023 staff muscle back is an incredibly enjoyable iron for me, I claim it as the best iron I've ever owned since starting in 1975.  I stopped short of the 2i but dammit how many sets even offer it at this point.  Have em throw one in....

Thank you the input, really so happy for all of you there! 

 

Thanks Wilson for making it a better week here.

I don’t see any reason they won’t go straight in the bag. Felt a bit easier to flight in the wind for me.

Looked like an awesome experience. Congrats!

No, but the standard finish on the ZMs is really nice, no issues with glare today.

So… about these irons. Any word from the Wilson team on these coming out?

Negative.  These are a 1 of 1 bead blasted set for the man, the myth, the legend Harry Nodwell.

In addition to the finish, no diamonds on the face along the grooves of the blades

Not yet - I’m going to go try them out at a local PGASS. I’ve got my ideal setup built - just want to hit them before I pull the trigger.

This and the ZM thread have been super informative- glad I found this community (although im not sure the wife or wallet would agree) 😂
