Wilson Staff

[Davie81]

Loving the look of the Wilson staff v6 and c300 forged irons. Has anyone got an opinion on these and is it true that Wilson’s as good as major brands?

I’ve never played either of the irons that you listed but love the look of them. I currently play Wilson staff D100 irons and the triton driver. I like the irons pretty well and the driver other than the sound of it when you hit the ball.

My friend plays the V4 irons and loves them.  Wilson makes good stuff.  I wish I had the game for the V6's.

It 's funny for old timers to hear that question, "Is Wilson as good as the major brands?" There was a time in the 60's, 70's, and very early 80's where they were THE major brand, as was Macgregor.

The wandered in the wilderness for many years; I don't know the whole story, but the latest owners seem to be putting them back on the true path.

The V6's look great and I also wish I had the game for them. I honestly don't know about their game improvement lines.

Yes. They're just not as heavy into marketing and player endorsements as some other companies are.

I thought the exact same thing. Some of their classic blades are well regarded by vintage club aficionados. I almost bought a set myself.
