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

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.

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • 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.
