New to the game, not new to the internet. I found some clubs on craigslist but could not find any information on them, I even searched this website. NOTHING. I am looking to buy some newer clubs and not break the bank, so I found these Wilson Firestick set with Power Chamber technology and the owner claims they are from last year. Obviously the first thing i do is google the make model and i connot find a review. I have attached a picture of the club.

If i could give a solid review and confirm the year made that would make me feel better about my purchase.

Thanks,

Austin

This is a little strange...

There have been several versions of Fire Stick irons over the years, but I've never seen this one and cannot find any info regarding it either except for a PW that had been listed on eBay

It's possible they made these for a particular retailer (like a sporting goods store possibly) for an exclusive offering, or that they were only available in a certain foreign market.  Simply due to lack of information about them, I would think about passing and consider a different set.

Callaway Steelhead Plus 3 wood w/ RCH Pro Series 3.2
Adams Idea Pro hybrids (3 & 4) w/ Aldila VS Proto 
Bridgestone j33 CB (5-PW) w/ original Rifle 5.5
Bridgestone West Coast 52*, j40 satin 56* & 60* w/ DG S-300
Odyssey White Hot XG #9
Bridgestone B330-RX

Sooo I ended up buying them because the seller only wanted $25. That tells me that they were probably not last years model. But again $25 got me a set of clubs with graphite shafts that had been used once, a bag (Cougar Diablo) two packs of brand new balls still in the box, a glove still in the box and a handful of tees. Pretty much everything to walk outside my apartment and start hitting balls (I live on a golf course). I also sent an email to Wilson inquiring about the clubs, but have yet to hear back.

If any one has any information about when the clubs were produced, I still am very interested (I can take better pictures now that they are in my possession). I guess on the plus side no one else has anything like them.

Oh, nice.  Yeah, I didn't realize they were $25, so you're not going to get hurt no matter what.  Sounds like you're ready to go play!

If this doesn't work, call their 800 number ( 1-800-800-9936 ).  I did this last year trying to get more info on a set of irons I bought in the mid-90s.  Their CS rep forwarded it to the Golf Dept., where one of their golf sales specialists called me.  He could not locate precise build specs, but gave me what was common for their clubs from that time period.

    • they’re hoping that someday all the other red chilis will stink so they can win. 😜
    • The family went to a Chili Cook-off this past weekend. I realized something.  Every Chili Cook-off I've ever been to somebody brings a white chili.  That person never wins.  White Chili is fine. But if you are making it for a chili cook-off are you actually just conceding? 
    • Well said.  Er, um... Well typed... 🤷‍♂️ This is what I suspect as well. I also didn't think about your point about impulse buys and the current hoopla. There are definitely a lot of folks talking about these right now. "The revealer" whether it actually proves anything or not, is clearly a great sales technique. I hear even hear the old folks at the range (am I one of those now?) talking about these. Words to the effect of "I really need to get a lie angle balance putter..." etc... 
    • I'm probably preaching to the choir with your background, but I'm sure most retailers worth their business salt will price it for some combination  of: delivered cost + current perceived market value + expected lower revenue for slow moving inventory + expected obsolescence. The 'market value' might be the largest component.  Retailers with low inventory build to order for long lead times have lower obsolescence recover cost added but it really hurts the impulsive buyer market, which is big when there is all this hoopla raging. The impulsive buyer also tends to pay more. I'm guessing that LAB wont make you wait unless you want custom tweaked stuff.    
    • Fair points - one thing I would note, speaking as a consumer, the base model here is already very expensive. There is a (fairly large) part of me that is much more willing to pay additional customization costs if it's going to work better when the underlying product is expensive. If I'm getting a $10 putter out of a bargain bin, I'm comfortable giving it a try and if it doesn't work, then whatever - no big deal. Spend $450 plus tax and it better be good. I'd rather have something for 560 that's spot on rather than something that's 450 and not what I need. I'd also go the extra mile and pick out some of the visual customization as well - different color, different alignment lines etc. I don't necessarily see that $110 as poor value when it's already a high end and expensive piece of equipment. I don't know whether that's me being what the market will bear or that it costs them that much more to make it, but I don't particularly care either way. At the end of the day it really is just about what the market (i.e. me) will bear.  I will also note that I don't have a LAB putter and while I am periodically tempted, I'm not going to get one until I can be sure I'm getting the one that's right for me. Short of going to Oregon, I'm not sure how that can happen either, so I will remain a spectator who occasionally pops to PGA Superstore to have a play around with one.
