Anyone Still Play Wilson FG-17 Blades?

I've been golfing for 27 years, shot some great scores in high school in the early 90's, stopped golfing because of girls for years, picked it back up in late 1990's, used all the modern clubs since then. I for some crazy reason grabbed a set of FG-17's off a used rack last fall because I used an old Wilson pitching wedge in high school and wanted to try some old clubs. Very simply, FG-17's are so crisp, clean and easy to hit. Blades? Who cares!!!! You still have to hit the ball!!!! Eye 2's or blades, doesn't matter! With blades, you focus more and hit a better shot. Lower shaft length, less loft = shorter distance, also = SHOT CONTROL AND MORE GREENS HIT!!!! That is the long version. The short version is that they are really awesome clubs!!!

They are better than any modern clubs.  Modern clubs are too long, lofts are too strong, ball goes too far.  FG's are opposite of that and provide more shot control and more consistency!

I'm about to build a 304SS replica of the 78' FG-17 by Bang Golf called the Tour Tools Classic 1. The brand new chrome on these curves is just stunning. Check them out if anyone is still interested in playing these. Will have to let you know how they hit after the winter and surgeries. Pairing with FST-115s and Pure DTX Mids...and a ferrule that looks like a 1980 red-striper tube sock.

I found a set of fg 17's 2 thru pw in nearly new condition for 7 dollars  per club.I remember them from the early 80's .I love these irons but the problem is I have 3 sets of different hogan models as well as staff fluid feel irons, rac mb as well as at least 5 other sets and I cant decide which to play regularly.
