  1. I just managed to snag a set of the legendary and long-coveted 1958-59 Wilson Staff Dyna-Powered irons, with original leather grips and shaft bands. It seems that COVID is prompting some of the hoarders to let go. First, I admire the set's stunning quality. These would cost $2,500 today. After two rounds with them in the bag (4-9 irons), I shot my best 9-hole score in 8-10 years -- a one-under 35. Deadly on the Par 3s. Pretty good score for a older guy. I will never bag another set of irons -- so intuitive. (Except in bad winter conditions will go back to my Ping s59s.) I like the 1958-59 blades most likely because I grew up playing a set of 1969-70 W/S Bullet Backs, another fine model year for blades. Distance is not great, even accounting for the number-creep of the last 30 years, but I don't need distance as my fairway woods My favorite wedge at the moment is a 1956 Wilson Triple-Duty wedge. Very heavy club, surely a swing weight of E-something. In my irons, I want accuracy both in terms of distance and direction. Having said that, my woods are Ping G30, TM Aeroburner Mini-Driver, TM R580 3W, and TM 19* Raylor; two of those four are 20 years old or older. All are great woods, reliable and long.
