I don't know how or why Wilson fell off the map for a good long time. They were one of the top brands in golf, maybe even #1.

They diluted their brand by selling mass produced box sets and people stopped looking at them as a top equipment manufacturer back in the early 70s and were just poorly run for decades.

With Wilson Staff FG17s I have to choose 2-3 bigger club than my newer Taylormade M2s. But, the feel with FG17 is so phenomenal that I can deal with it.

FG17 3 iron have the same loft than M2 5 iron and saft lenght is same than M2 6 iron.

I am not a good player (hcp 18). However, FG17 are quite forgiving clubs being as blades. I just love them…

Damn, that’s quite extreme. I get that feel is a nice thing but if you’re pulling a 5i instead of a 7 or 8i, that’s gotta be a score killer. 🧐

Is it just me or does the blade shape change dramatically from 7 to 8?

I just checked my vintage set (Sam Snead blue ridges) and they mimic this. I also game 735.CMs from time to time, and not only does the cavity to blade change happen between 7 and 8, but the shape changes drastically as will.

It is no a big deal. I need my irons shorter distance than 150m
max dist:

i3 140m

i4 130m 

i5 120m

i6 110m

i7 100m

i8 90m

i9 80m

pw 70m

I am not a big hitter but these blades are very consistent and accurate.  I will enjoy a lot to play with these old clubs.

      Day 335 - More putting work, with the focus on setup and hitting the sweet spot.

      Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good.

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
