Hello. I am a sophomore in high school and I play on my school's golf team. I am an average golfer, and my ball striking ability would probably be above average on some days, but I was wondering, do you think it would be worthwhile buying these clubs and trying to play them? Or should I go for a more forgiving iron? My thought on it was to keep my current clubs until this school year is over, and then order these and see if I can get a feel for them over the summer. I read into them, and it seems like they are half blade, half cavity. I haven't played blades in my life, so I have no experience in the area, but if someone could guide me in the right direction, that'd be great.

Have the Wison Staff Di7 and want to get rid of them. This is the first season with them and have hit around 15 buckets and played 4 rounds with them and can't stand them. I don't like the feel through the shaft on impact feels very clunky and with these clubs I am hitting the ball either to high or taking a acre with me.

Don't know about the Ci7' though.

When I started playing in the 1950's, they were all "Blades"

My suggestion is to find a used set of quality blades, regrip them and try them out.

There are many choices for used or pre-owned irons at Golfsmith, Edwin Watts, Golf Galaxy.

If you can shoot in the 90s and strike the ball reasonably well most of the time, then the Ci7s will be fine. While not an SGI club, they are solidly GI sticks and the have plenty of forgiveness for toe hits.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
