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.

      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.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
