Swinging my backup set of WSTBFF's the last two times out, still a lovely blade after all these years. Hit some really sweet and consistent shots with the mids and low irons, with no opportunity to swing the 2, 3, or 4 of late.  But the last time I hit 'em on the range they were feeling great too. My Palmer 85's are quite similar. I've yet to figure out where my Hogans fit in. I just keep rotating through those four sets, to see if I ever declare a favorite---whilst en route to hickories.

Just had to mention I got a set of 1987 Wilson Staff Fluid Feel irons from EBay. My goodness…I absolutely love these old birds. Hell I even managed to smoke the 2i which is unheard of for me. Can’t believe how good they feel!70456010730__CF4C8079-DE1C-4FB0-907C-53183E13074A.thumb.jpeg.9c589199ec2b1c2c9b4792d278defb5d.jpeg

This is why clubs with offset "feel" weird to me. I avoid them. Been playing with 85 Palmer Standard's, but am switching to my 84 Hogan PC's next. But the Wilson's are still my favorite. I'd love to snag a 1-iron in that model. Also the Wilson 2i is going to be about like a modern 4i but with a longer shaft -and zero offset. I'm messing with hickories now...🤪

I’m really enjoying this retro stuff. I got the classic Wilson red-white leather bag and have some knitted head covers coming. I’m sticking with a modern driver and hybrids..putter… but looking forward to playing with these irons.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
