Just wanted to hear your thoughts about the Wilson ci7 clubs.
I don't get to play much - maybe 10 times a year.
Right now I have Tommy Armour Clubs and looking to get some new clubs without spending a lot of money.
I shoot in the mid 90's.

Thanks for any advice on the ci7 clubs or any other recommendations.

I am a horrible golfer, so take this for whatever it's worth. I bought my CI7s as a Christmas present for myself. I like Paddy Harrington and he used these to win a major so I was interested.

I am 6'2 so the 1/2" longer shafts are helpful. They look great (kind of understated) and are forgiving enough. I can still hit bad shots obviously, but the ballflight and dispersion does seem to be improved over my old clubs. They are probably a bit "above my level" but I am hoping to improve a lot this year and wanted a set that would last.

The best part is that I bought them new on ebay from a reputable seller for $210, 4-GW. I picked up the SW for another $35.

I do think the lofts are a little stronger than average so that's something to keep in mind. If I were to change anything about them I would maybe get some higher-launching shafts (my ball flight is mid and I would prefer mid-high, but that might just be my swing), and the grips are not the best. They seem skinny and kind of slippery.

In the blue Colts bag:

Driver - FT-5 10°
Hybrids - 4DX 15.5°, 20°
Irons/Wedges - CI-7 4-GW, SW | "Free" Warrior 60° LWPutter - TiffanyBalls - various

Thanks so much for the insight.
There is someone selling them on ebay for a little less than what you paid so I thought it might be a good deal.
I wish I could find some place close to me that sells the club so I could see what the feel like when I hold them.
I may just pull the trigger and purchase them as they would be a big step up from my current clubs.

In any case, thanks again for posting a response.

    • During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. 
    • My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
    • 6700 treelined course (72 rating). It was a good yardage for my distance, not his. It was an official mid am competition. He finished 2nd with 4 under after 36 holes.    
    • Played Sunday at my home course and shot an 83.....with four 3 putts.   So that is at least promising.   Played Men' Night last night (9 holes) and was Even after 7.....but then had a tough bogey and a terrible double to finish +3.   Either way.....I like the way things are trending.
