Wilson DI7 - anyone play them?

[Fat Slice]

I am wanting to try out new irons (why not?) - from what I have read, these sound pretty good for a high handicapper. Currently I have some R7 draw, but the draw favoring I think is giving me some problems.

i've never tried them but this Padraig Harrington fellow does quite well with them,lol. (actually, i think he uses a combination of CI7 and DI7.)

Try Pi5's.. They are good, cheap and forgiving.

Last reports I read in Golf Digest & Golfweek stated he's still using PI5s with a CI7 4 iron.

Here's the link . The DIx line is a mid to OS iron that would seem to me to be a little on the big side for the pros. I picked up some DI5s for real cheap on Ebay and haven't warmed up to them one bit, even the long irons. I second the PI5s (if you can find them).

I play the DI7s steel.. I like them.. I just got them 2 months ago. They are easy to hit right away and has a nice feel. I have reduced my handicap a lot since I got them and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I recently changed to the Ci 7's and I've never had a shorter learning curve. They just felt great and easy to hit. By my 2nd round I was really striking the ball well. Now I have to work on my putting...........

I play the Di7's and I like them. I haven't played any other new irons to compare them too so I really can't say anything about how they compare to other sets out there today. Mine have the UST graphite shafts. One thing to remember/realize about these irons is that Wilson's "D" line signifies distance (C=control, P=players). In actuality that means that these clubs are less lofted than standard irons, so you get more distance from them. They are cavity backs with perimeter weighting, low CG, fat shafts (steel and graphite), so you can expect a fair amount of forgiveness from all those characteristics, but the loft is something you'll notice right away. You'll probably find you hit these about one club more than you're used to, but once you get your distasnces dialed in you'll be good to go.

I just ordered a set of Di7 irons. I read some positive reviews on them, and the price seemed pretty good (around $200).
