they are one of the oldest brands that still produces golf equipment on tour level, but they simply missed the train and even if they would grow by 10% each year, it would take them decades to catch up with TM, Callaway etc. What really didn't help was the unfortunate "Prostaff" line of set clubs. I would really like to meet the dumbass who decided to name a set of beginner's cheaply made clubs Prostaff when they have a Wilson Staff brand established. Their Infinity putters are one of the best deals currently on the market, I was a big fan of Cleveland HB putters because I love full milled face without any inserts and have bunch of their models, but the Wilson putters, for the same price, already offer great grips, which Cleveland doesn't (even though the 2019 line got a lot better, yet still not good enough), and much better head cover (well, better velcro, Cleveland uses the cheapest nastiest loudest velcro that is sometimes impossible to undo one-handed). Try finding some Infinity putter review on youtube, besides hald a dozen amateur videos there are 2 o 3 one-minute skits and that is it. I honestly believe if Wilson would charge 250 instead of 100 for the putter, all the top golf youtubers would have made videos with 3 different head sizes.
@@CR-yx5we erm, wasn't he part of the jury or whatnot in the "documentary" Wilson did a while back about creating a new driver? I think Shiels is rather good "friends" with Wilson
If a blade is just a blade, then damn, get me a set of those Wilson staff blades. They truly are the most beautiful pieces of forged steel on the market.
@@gregorvimpany9353 I had to look those up. I almost agree. They're EXTREMELY close. Both beautiful in their own rights. I just wish I was good enough to own either.
Got the wilson fg tour v6 and even after 2 years of playing with them the 4 iron still puts a smile on my face when i take it out of the bag. Feel and looks 10/10
I love Wilson and Wilson Staff products. Definitely the most underrated brand around. People forget that Wilson was bigger than tm and Callaway back in the day. Wilson is Golf. Period. You should definitely put those blades in the bag. Would also like to see you review the Wilson Staff V6 Forged Irons. I have those in the bag.
At 17 years old I had a set of Wilson staff FG49 blades. 1-SW Loved those irons and had lovely ground in sweet spots. Something you rarely see now because of equipment changes so often.
@@CraigalFun I don't think I'd call them hard to hit but you've got to keep your focus on strike. I alternate between a half set of blades and a full set of combo CB/MB Bridgestone irons. When I go back to the full set, I'm a better ball striker.
I actually was fitted for clubs and the D7's and a set of Cobras was what worked best for me. I went with the D7's and they are great! Never been happier.
Thank you for looking at Wilson. I have been playing these new staff blades for several months now. I am an older player and had them built with KBS 105 reg shafts. Oh my, they are so awesome. I have always liked forges irons but these are the best yet. I suspect that little milling on the back of the club head also allows precision weighting for the build.
Watching this video AGAIN... I now own a set of the Wilson blades! They are incredible, although I do tend to spend a lot of time while playing cleaning and polishing them!
I purchased a set of Wilson D7 irons a couple of months back and I'm delighted with them for the forgiveness, distance and feedback from the clubs, not to mention the great value price. I selected them after comparing with all the equivalent irons in the same category from the other brands, which are all more expensive (Ping G410, Mizuno JPX919 hot metal, Taylormade M6 etc. ). For the wedges I went for Cleveland CBX2's which are also cavity back clubs, so are an ideal match, you just have to choose the lofts carefully to avoid a big gap with the D7 PW iron.
Always loved the Wilson Staff clubs. Never believed I was good enough to play forged blades. Picked up some used Callaway forged irons for cheap and I was right, I'm not good enough, but they sure look great in the bag!
Just hit the D7s with a Wilson Rep down at my local range... great feel, good distance and ball flight, especially after the Rep had put me in a 2 degree upright setup, they're now top of my list!
Wilson clubs are so underappreciated. I play the D7's and are really impressed. A great improvement club. I don't think I play well enough to try the blades but they look amazing.
Finally!!!!!! I search and search and search hoping someone reviews wilson staff clubs I love mine. I have the D300 irons, and a Fg Tour F5 3 wood and 4 hybrid and maybe wood is my favorite club in the bag. I would love to get my hands on a set of D7s to try out but no one has them around me. Thanks for the great review.
Never hit a wilson club I didnt like. Glad to see them get the respect and shout out they deserve! Perhaps some review on the lesser known brands that would suit a beginner looking to get started but on a budget. Something like benross for example as the highest end of the spectrum?
I play the Wilson Staff . Honestly found they did better than other blades on the market . There just a little longer than other blades and that little extra metal on the back of the club on the end help a little with a "slight " off center shot . Glad to see Wilson getting some overdue love !!! Thanks !!
Love Wilson Staff irons. I've had the DI-9's for over a decade I believe and adore them. Looks like it might just be time for a change. Between my Wilsons and Mizuno T-Zoid Pros..............Wilson is calling my name. Well done Mr. Finch
I have a set of Staff blades from the 70s and another forged cavity back Staff set from the 90s. Neither are forgiving and the traditional lofts will not stoke your ego, but when the ball meets the club face, they are like butter!
Just got D300 irons 5-PW and 4 hybrid and I love them. Had TM R7 before and I gained height and length on every club. Feel great and for 349.00 usd can't be beat.
Thank you for testing the Wilson D7 Forged Irons! I'm considering getting fitted for a set soon!! Those blades our awesome and beautiful. I'd buy a set just to carry them around - Wow! Unfortunately, with an 18 Handicap, they won't fit my current game or skill level! Thanks again!
Hello Peter! I have the Wilson D300 Irons and I just love them! They are very forgiving even on toe hits, the ball just goes there! Yes they are chunky especially when you get into the long irons you can see the back of the iron being more chunky. I will take chunky over forgiveness any time! Great video and those D7'S look awesome! The Staff Model look great also but I'm not a blade player though. Cheers from Montreal Canada!
I am glad you did a review of the Wilson blades. I am honestly tired of seeing the same brands on everyone's channel and they all ignore Wilson, Cobra, Srixon, and Ben Hogan.
After testing quite a few different clubs from various manufacturers I ended up with a set of Wilson D9's. Incredible irons for the price. Love them to bits.
Those staff model irons has to be one of the best looking irons ever made ! Ben Hogan Ptx pro irons, Srixon, New Level golf irons- Love the 1126 and 902 models
Would love to see you do a similar test of the Srixon blades. Srixon is another club manufacturer that doesn't get much love or recognition. I play the blades and love them.
My first set of irons was a mixed set of Wilson Staff irons (blades and cavity backs). I still have them down at my parents house. I keep on meaning to get them regripped and playing a round with them.
I purchased a custom fit set of D7 irons 5-PW back in November as I returned to the game following a 15 year break, a year and a half ago. I got a 17 handicap and haven’t made any progress in that year and a 1/2 so was looking for a confidence boost. My old Wilson Di5 irons were great however, after a club demo day and a custom fit I was told my old irons were 1/2” too short as I’m 6ft 1” and also needed the toe raised by 2 degrees. Well a confidence boost is what I got. I was worried about ball flight, as in height as read a couple of reviews saying that “due to he decreased loft on each club the flight wasn’t great”, load of trap. These clubs are longer but fly beautifully and are so sweet to hit. They don’t look too chunky when looking down on them in fact I think they are stunning. Since the beginning of December I’ve tracked my cards and have on average over 10 rounds been playing to a 15 handicap and I’ve changed nothing but my irons! I haven’t had a gap session yet however, this is on the cards. I paid £359 for a custom fit set including mid size velvet tour grips and I’m so glad I did. If you’re a mid to high handicapper looking for a bit of confidence these clubs might just be the choice for you and probably the lowest price of a premium brand. Great review and a long time coming to be fair.
Love the video. It’s great to see wilson finally get some praise. Would love to see some reviews on the Cleveland launcher irons and also any of the benross series.
My first set of irons were the Wison Fat Shaft irons and loved them. When I changed them I was wowed by the advertising and hype of the major brands. How fickle we can be. Great video Peter
Wilson have always made beautiful looking irons, especially the blades. "Back in the day" they were the club all other manufacturers copied. "Back in the day" I played a blended set that had a number of Wilsons in it. I even played Wilson wood (yes wooden ones) and they were as good as anything else. I have no idea why they fell out of favour. I'm loving they design nods to the classic Wilsons of "back in the day" :)
My grandpa gave me a set of dyna-power blades from '52, so I put new grips on them, and they feel like butter, if you can find the sweet spot, which is the size of a pin. Look great, and I agree, those blades look pretty close to the dyna-power blades I own
The Wilson Staff Model Forged Blades start at $1050 US on their website here in the states (lots of custom options available). That is for a 7 club set 4i through PW. The Wilson D7 Forged are $900 4i through PW. Good prices compared to the market but not the value or consistency you would get from the Ben Hogan Ft Worth White blades at $700 for 7 club set or the PTX Pro irons for $800. Hogan does provide limited customization options for their irons as well. No manufacturer makes a better product for the price than Hogan in my opinion. My only knock on Hogan is the inability to order a combo set. The thing I do like the most regarding the Wilson Staff Model Blades is all of the customization options they offer. This will raise the price based on shaft, grip, paintfill etc. but getting your new set of irons exactly as you want them and how you were fitted is great and they have loads of options! Great video
Wilson makes such great and underrated irons its a shame not more people are using their clubs. Been playing a combo set with the FG 100 tours and the V6s for about two years now and absolutly love them. Looking forward to test the new wedges but will probably just end up with the sm8s and keep that tradition going. AND their new driving iron looks tasty as well.
Great to see this video Pete I've played wilson staff for years just sold my c300 forged for the new d7 forged and there amazing. Got the cobra forged tec last month but didn't get on with them as they didn't feel as soft as the d7 forged. Wanted to game them staff irons they look unbelievable but I'm just not good enough to game the blades. I've always said wilson staff and cobra are the most underrated brands in golf today but both make some of the best gear on the market today.
WIlson Staff blades - THE BEST LOOKING IRONS OF ALL TIME! Don’t quite suit my game - yet - but since getting WIlson C300 Forged irons handicap has come down from 20 to 14. Literally transformed my mindset, cos I can’t wait to hit them, whereas previously all negative thoughts. Such an underrated brand for irons means great performance at cheap prices. And now the D7 drivers are great too.
My first set of irons was an old Wilson Staff CI9 set that I bought used from a used sports shop. Were excellent learners clubs. Irons felt solid and had wonderful forgiveness, although the sweet spot may have been a touch small for a "game improvement" iron. But honestly, those clubs made me feel Wilson doesn't get the love it should. I agree with you on their wedges. I had a set of Wilson wedges as well and I'll be the first to admit I'm not the highest-spinning player, but I really struggled to get them off the face with any significant spin numbers. Switching to SM7s upped my spin significantly from almost the first hit and I haven't looked back.
My first set of irons back in 1984 were Wilson dynapower blades 1971 series.. later i played Wilson fluid feel and FG17 blades... man I miss the feel and look of those irons. Specially when you played a (balata ball) Nice to see a review on wilson blades.
When I first saw the new blades....WOW! As nice as anything out there. Sadly, I can't play blades anymore. Like the other comment, glad to see Wilson love out there.
Playing Wilson, very happy to see a review on this brand. Certainly underrated and 100% blades are amazing. Other brand I found great: Cleveland. Nice vlog 👍
“Not a very fast moving plane, like a flying mobility scooter.” 😂 🤣 That was brilliant! Damn do those blades look sleek and sexy. Props to Wilson on that. Finchie, Tour Edge just announced that they were releasing a “Tour Van” model blade set that was for preorder through June. I love their woods and I wanted to get your take on their blades too. I’d love to test them out before possibly purchasing them but that doesn’t look like it’s possible
i've got a set of these for over year 2 years now, bought them when i was hcp 6.8 and now i'm 2,5 and just had my first round under 70, so they r really really good irons. and same thing that Pete said in that video, irons are really good, but the wedge i played 1 round and took my old vokey back :) not very important part about them, but everyone who you playing with, they notice these irons in your bag and they wanna touch them :))
Ok I have several different iron sets from Mizunos to Callaways BUT my go-to set is Wilson D7s, so maneuverable, predictable and accurate that it shaves 6 points from my handicap rating. They’re true hidden craftsmanship at a great price
Wilson has some good looking irons now. I remember their Staff blades from the mid-80’s which were beautiful. I was just getting into golf but tried them out anyway. They felt amazing except when I toed one.
Great video Peter and those Wilson's look beautiful and classic. I'd like to see you have a go at the Hogan irons and see if they are as good as they look too.
I would love to see you look at some Srixon irons. I really feel like they have quietly been making great clubs. They're just not as shouty as the big boys.
I loved Wilson Staff irons when I was a junior. Considering they don't have a massive list of tour players they still win their fair share of majors. Like you said Woodland last year, Paddy Harrington won his 3 majors in two years with Wilson irons... great brand with a great history (most majors?). Put the blades in your bag and who knows the bonus maybe a spot on the driver v driver judging panel 😉😂
Wish i had the abilities to play the Wilson Staff model. The look just fantastic but my limited talent ia telling me to try the D7. Thanks for reviewing theese clubs. From a french Canadian Fan
I have started playing in August 2019 and owned a set of Wilson D7 Irons 5-PW , Wilson PMP Wedges with 51,56,60 degrees ,a Wilson D7 Driver , and a Cobra F8 3W and Cobra F8 5W... the Wilson Clubs are good looking , nice sounding and aviable for a good Price .. and for my First Season i am absolutely glad with my Setup.. from starting with HCP -54 i am now at HCP -32.. and i love my F8 Cobra Fairways Woods and i will replace the Wilson D7 Driver with a Cobra Speedzone Driver soon ... cheers from Cologne - Germany UPDATE: didn’t knew that, but the Blade Design was invented by Wilson .. they presented their first Blades back in 1954 ..
I currently use yonex irons, got them for a bargain second hand. I never hear anything about them but they’re awesome for me. I’ve used Nike pro combo and mizuno mp irons in the past too
I still play my set of v4 irons. My favorite irons I've ever had. Just put on new grips, ready for another few seasons. Also, although the Cortex driver was made for TV, it It is awesome and performs as well as anything else for me, once I got the blue and white shaft. And you can get them for peanuts.
The D7 Forged irons are going to be a huge hit for many golfers. Even combo-ing the set is amazing at that the price point. So much more affordable than all of the other"big name" brands. Hope you give them a shot when you finally decide!
When i started playing golf wilson clubs were the pinnacle, the clubs as a 11 year old you dreamed of owning, played by some of the best golfers in the world, including nick faldo, the golfer at the time every junior idolised, think its time i got my hands on a set of these
It makes me happy when Wilson Staff gets some love. Such an underappreciated brand.
dudefood yeah man for sure! Sub to me and sub to you!!!
Most pga champs
they are one of the oldest brands that still produces golf equipment on tour level, but they simply missed the train and even if they would grow by 10% each year, it would take them decades to catch up with TM, Callaway etc. What really didn't help was the unfortunate "Prostaff" line of set clubs. I would really like to meet the dumbass who decided to name a set of beginner's cheaply made clubs Prostaff when they have a Wilson Staff brand established. Their Infinity putters are one of the best deals currently on the market, I was a big fan of Cleveland HB putters because I love full milled face without any inserts and have bunch of their models, but the Wilson putters, for the same price, already offer great grips, which Cleveland doesn't (even though the 2019 line got a lot better, yet still not good enough), and much better head cover (well, better velcro, Cleveland uses the cheapest nastiest loudest velcro that is sometimes impossible to undo one-handed). Try finding some Infinity putter review on youtube, besides hald a dozen amateur videos there are 2 o 3 one-minute skits and that is it. I honestly believe if Wilson would charge 250 instead of 100 for the putter, all the top golf youtubers would have made videos with 3 different head sizes.
Love my V6 irons, my favorite I’ve ever had
Finally. A Wilson review. Seems that the major channels avoid Wilson.
its funny how mr shiels for example has played with wilson irons but still never really review their stuff
@@butonline rick did the blades and driver last year
Wilson probably refuse to pay him to give "favourable reviews" of their products.
C R yeah ngl his wilson pmp wedge testing was horrid. ive got a full set and ive never seen so much spin on a wedge in my life.
@@CR-yx5we erm, wasn't he part of the jury or whatnot in the "documentary" Wilson did a while back about creating a new driver? I think Shiels is rather good "friends" with Wilson
If a blade is just a blade, then damn, get me a set of those Wilson staff blades. They truly are the most beautiful pieces of forged steel on the market.
The Wilson staff model blade is the best looking blade I've ever seen
Agreed.
Correct
I second that
The 100 year anniversary irons Wilson done steal it for me 👏🏼
@@gregorvimpany9353 I had to look those up. I almost agree. They're EXTREMELY close. Both beautiful in their own rights. I just wish I was good enough to own either.
Got the wilson fg tour v6 and even after 2 years of playing with them the 4 iron still puts a smile on my face when i take it out of the bag. Feel and looks 10/10
Cedric Bichsel could not agree more
I still have the Pi7 irons that came out like 12 years ago and I feel the same way about my 4 iron lol
Cedric Bichsel we are all going to jump in the lake at 100 subscribers

Wilson is Golf. Period.
You should definitely put those blades in the bag.

Tough to hit? U still got them?

Played Wilson irons forever and now using D7 forged...love them and like the fact they cost way less than so called big brands...more majors won 🏆
I actually was fitted for clubs and the D7's and a set of Cobras was what worked best for me. I went with the D7's and they are great! Never been happier.

Just purchased and got fitted for D7 forged. Beautiful and performs well for me

I've always said wilson staff and cobra are the most underrated brands in golf today but both make some of the best gear on the market today.
Just bought the D7 forged irons today! 4-PW for 550 quid brand new, can't wait to use them
WIlson Staff blades - THE BEST LOOKING IRONS OF ALL TIME! Don’t quite suit my game - yet - but since getting WIlson C300 Forged irons handicap has come down from 20 to 14. Literally transformed my mindset, cos I can’t wait to hit them, whereas previously all negative thoughts. Such an underrated brand for irons means great performance at cheap prices. And now the D7 drivers are great too.
My first set of irons was an old Wilson Staff CI9 set that I bought used from a used sports shop. Were excellent learners clubs. Irons felt solid and had wonderful forgiveness, although the sweet spot may have been a touch small for a "game improvement" iron. But honestly, those clubs made me feel Wilson doesn't get the love it should.
I agree with you on their wedges. I had a set of Wilson wedges as well and I'll be the first to admit I'm not the highest-spinning player, but I really struggled to get them off the face with any significant spin numbers. Switching to SM7s upped my spin significantly from almost the first hit and I haven't looked back.
Got myself a new set Wilson blades this year (2021) And I think they are great, and good value also.
I'm a Wilson fanboy. I play the F5 driver, F5 irons and PMP wedges. I think they make a great product regardless of the price.
A mate let me use his d300 irons for a round one day, I was very impressed by them, very good price too
I have the D7 irons and they do fly. I am 63 w/ a 90+mph swing speed and hit the 6 iron 185. They are great feeling clubs.
I purchased these clubs after this video and absolutely love them "D7 " thanks for the review!
My first set of irons back in 1984 were Wilson dynapower blades 1971 series.. later i played Wilson fluid feel and FG17 blades... man I miss the feel and look of those irons. Specially when you played a (balata ball) Nice to see a review on wilson blades.
When I first saw the new blades....WOW! As nice as anything out there. Sadly, I can't play blades anymore.
Like the other comment, glad to see Wilson love out there.
Found it way too funny when your electric cart started running away from you at 2:20
Playing Wilson, very happy to see a review on this brand. Certainly underrated and 100% blades are amazing. Other brand I found great: Cleveland. Nice vlog 👍
Such a classic look, those Wilson Staff Model Forged Irons.
You’re like William Wallace in Braveheart without that club deal. “Freedom!!”
Kimchicracker hahah comment something banterous on my video! Love this
Definitely would love to see what you think on the Hogan brand irons. Especially the PTx Pro in the black finish!
Your friend Rick played Wilson iron's for a long time
“Not a very fast moving plane, like a flying mobility scooter.” 😂 🤣 That was brilliant! Damn do those blades look sleek and sexy. Props to Wilson on that. Finchie, Tour Edge just announced that they were releasing a “Tour Van” model blade set that was for preorder through June. I love their woods and I wanted to get your take on their blades too. I’d love to test them out before possibly purchasing them but that doesn’t look like it’s possible
i've got a set of these for over year 2 years now, bought them when i was hcp 6.8 and now i'm 2,5 and just had my first round under 70, so they r really really good irons. and same thing that Pete said in that video, irons are really good, but the wedge i played 1 round and took my old vokey back :)
not very important part about them, but everyone who you playing with, they notice these irons in your bag and they wanna touch them :))
Another great review! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Maltby TS-1 irons as well.
Ok I have several different iron sets from Mizunos to Callaways BUT my go-to set is Wilson D7s, so maneuverable, predictable and accurate that it shaves 6 points from my handicap rating. They’re true hidden craftsmanship at a great price
Wilson has some good looking irons now. I remember their Staff blades from the mid-80’s which were beautiful. I was just getting into golf but tried them out anyway. They felt amazing except when I toed one.
Great video Peter and those Wilson's look beautiful and classic. I'd like to see you have a go at the Hogan irons and see if they are as good as they look too.
Seriously considering the Wilson V6 or Bro Hogan Ptx pro irons. Great vid!
I play the V6 from 4-PW
Adore them... cheap too :)
I would love to see you look at some Srixon irons. I really feel like they have quietly been making great clubs. They're just not as shouty as the big boys.
You can get into Open qualifying with these blades, Pete.
THE SANT JORDI GOLF SOCIETY Adrian Cox lol you’re funny
Wilson is very underrated. I have a set of D300 and Wilson Staff Fg V4 and they're amazing to hit.
I’ve always loved the look of Wilson clubs, but definitely into Lynx golf, and I’m in the USA
Great video Pete 👏 🎥! Shot tracer definitely not required in those conditions, great camera angles 🏌️⛳️🔥
I loved Wilson Staff irons when I was a junior. Considering they don't have a massive list of tour players they still win their fair share of majors. Like you said Woodland last year, Paddy Harrington won his 3 majors in two years with Wilson irons... great brand with a great history (most majors?). Put the blades in your bag and who knows the bonus maybe a spot on the driver v driver judging panel 😉😂
Wish i had the abilities to play the Wilson Staff model. The look just fantastic but my limited talent ia telling me to try the D7.
Thanks for reviewing theese clubs.
From a french Canadian Fan
Glad you took my advice from the comment I left in your video about building your bag.
I actually use the Wilson staff 100th anniversary model and I love them ;)
Me too, THEY are the best looking irons ever, these new ones are close
@@jussipollari955 yes they don't look bad either, have become a fan of wilson iron over time
Those Wilson Staff blades are on my future used club buy list. 👍
“A flying mobility scooter” rofl 😂😂👌🏻
I have started playing in August 2019 and owned a set of Wilson D7 Irons 5-PW , Wilson PMP Wedges with 51,56,60 degrees ,a Wilson D7 Driver , and a Cobra F8 3W and Cobra F8 5W... the Wilson Clubs are good looking , nice sounding and aviable for a good Price .. and for my First Season i am absolutely glad with my Setup.. from starting with HCP -54 i am now at HCP -32.. and i love my F8 Cobra Fairways Woods and i will replace the Wilson D7 Driver with a Cobra Speedzone Driver soon ... cheers from Cologne - Germany
UPDATE: didn’t knew that, but the Blade Design was invented by Wilson .. they presented their first Blades back in 1954 ..
Both D7 and the Staff model looks great. The blade is actually formidable !
I currently use yonex irons, got them for a bargain second hand. I never hear anything about them but they’re awesome for me. I’ve used Nike pro combo and mizuno mp irons in the past too
Just go with the FG Tour V6 irons. Same lofts as the tiger irons but they are cavity backed. Best irons I've ever hit
I still play my set of v4 irons. My favorite irons I've ever had. Just put on new grips, ready for another few seasons. Also, although the Cortex driver was made for TV, it It is awesome and performs as well as anything else for me, once I got the blue and white shaft. And you can get them for peanuts.
The D7 Forged irons are going to be a huge hit for many golfers. Even combo-ing the set is amazing at that the price point. So much more affordable than all of the other"big name" brands. Hope you give them a shot when you finally decide!
When i started playing golf wilson clubs were the pinnacle, the clubs as a 11 year old you dreamed of owning, played by some of the best golfers in the world, including nick faldo, the golfer at the time every junior idolised, think its time i got my hands on a set of these
First set of irons where Wilson Ultra Light.
Awesome clubs.
Blades look amazing
