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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
