I'm currently trying to piece together a good set, keeping in mind my play-style (high handicapper with a rough slice). I need "game improvement" irons which are rather forgiving. Also, for whatever reason, I don't hit hybrid clubs particularly well, and my strong slice seems to be exaggerated when using the hybrid club I currently own. Therefore, rather than purchase a "complete set," which almost seem to have at least one hybrid club, I'd like to purchase a whole set of irons (3 - PW, at a minimum).

Does anyone have any experience with Wilson Pro Staff irons? If so, or if not and based off of your knowledge of the clubs, how would you rate them for novice use?

They meet my criteria, as they're oversized and relatively inexpensive. Here is a link to a new set (3 - PW) on Ebay for $100.00: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilson-Mens-Pro-STAFF-Accuracy-Distance-Golf-Clubs-Set-LH-Left-Hand-NEW-/301738250883?hash=item4641005283%3Ag%3AGLYAAOSwNRdX9Fbf 

Thanks in advance, y'all.

This looks like an older recreational (beginner to bogey) rated set. Should work for your purposes, but a more modern set in the same class would  be Wilson Profile XLS Package Set

Keep in mind that you will likely outgrow either set in your first full year or so.

Also note that NO club GI or SGI will stop your slice, or even reduce it to a controlled fade.

Only improving your swing can cure that!

I have played Wilson Staff and it depends on what you want.  If you are just looking for a starter set a Wilson or Top Flite would work.  For Wilson around 2007 was a turning point for their club development from the cheaper discount store offerings.

If you want a better iron their D series iron sets are nice (D9 - D200).  But, if Wilson was just picked due to the eBay listing above, and not because you really want that brand, there are all sorts of other used clubs that are as good, and maybe better.

For budget clubs, Wilson, Cobra, and Adams are good.  Used Ping is always a good choice, G10, G15...  It depends on what you want to pay.

    • 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.
