I got the Wilson Fatshaft irons (3-PW)as a raffle prize at a charity golf outing. I smiled and thought hmmm? how much will these bring on e-bay. The answer was not much so I decided to hit them. With out a doubt they are the hottest (longest) clubs I have played. And I kept taking them to the range but not to the coures. I didn't want the homies to know I was hitting "entry level clubs". I love the feel of these clubs and I have gotten over that stigma (cheap *** Wilson clubs)and I now keep the 4-9 in the bag. And anyone who tells you these clubs can't be steered is wrong. I can draw or fade them at will. The distance from these clubs can not be overstated. I use 2 clubs less than EYE did with the mass produced "custom clubs" that I now keep in the garage. The set I play has stiff shafts which is a first for me and I'm hitting the 9 from 150 up to 165. The 160ish shot would be a from a tee. I do agree with other reviews that your wedges should be custom selected to fit your game inside of 150 yds. Pin point accuracy with the fatshaft P-wedge is just not possible. It's not the line, it's the distance. And controlling the sping is also difficult with the fatshaft P-wedge. Btw, I did buy a used Deep Red fat shaft driver to see if the distance advantage carried thru and unfortunatly it did not. The fat shafts did not lower my score. I still score 80-86 depending on the course and conditions. I keep them in the bag for feel and distance.

I'm an 8 handicap and I LOVE these irons. I'm not a big guy (5'9" 150) and I get a lot of distance out of these (9 iron 150; 5 iron 200). For me the key is that these shafts are very light compared to most others. I feel I am in complete control of the club and can just focus on hitting the ball. The fat shaft reduces torque on toe hits which translates into a loss of distance but they still go straight. I'm not a fan of the hybrid 3 & 4 irons, but Gap - 5i are amazing.

No club I've ever hit could hit as consistently long or higher. Distances are unbelievable and honestly intimidating to other players. Solid, easy hitting, forgiving head, that can hit long even after digging a trench. I played these till I made 7 Hcp with rounds ranging from scratch to 12 over. However, I could not get below 7 Hcp with these clubs. Principle reason, at fullswing Fatshaft SW to the green ranged 117 - 127 metres, not yards (means its probably outside texas wedge distance). Limitation of the standard Fatshaft set, the distance between SW and PW are great. SW see above PW 145 - 155 mtrs (average). GW 130 - 142 mtrs for me anyway. I needed a GW to full the hole. Wilson provide a good GW too. If I was to give the club a number, I'd say about 13 metres difference between clubs. Yup 7 iron out to 200 metres.
WEakness in the club? If a club breaks its in shaft around the bottom third inside the grip. Happened to me with my 7 and 4 irons. Overall the FS is a great build and suitable to mid to high Hcp golfers. I changed to something else to get to 4 hcp.

These clubs are absolutely fantastic for the cash.

the clubs feel nice at address and you get a nice sound at impact. they ae very forgiven and the ball gets up pretty well.
the only thing i would say is that sometimes you cactch them fat and the club gets stuck in the ground but the ball will still go a fair distance.

the grips are very nice

I'm just a beginner at golf, but the VERY FIRST TIME i used these clubs, it honestly decided my irons for the next five or so years. The club is so level, with the head weight to shaft ratio PERFECT, they are so stable. These irons are also the most solid iron i've ever hit. Don't dislike them until you have tried them out for you self, because you might just fall in love with them.

Have used set for a golf season now. Purchased irons on ebay for $65 and found the 2 woods also on ebay for $10 a piece. Irons are very straight and forgiving but very inconsistent in yardage. I'm a short hitter: pw goes 90 yds., but the 5 iron goes 190. I got Lite flex and glad I did. These shafts are on the stiff side so go one flex down than your normal iron flex. i.e. Lite flex is a Regular. Grips are not good. The 3/4 hybrids are offsett and hard to get use to;want to slice on me. This set needs a smooth swing to produce good results. They instill confidence behind the ball if you like a fatter top-line. Good clubs for mid-high hdcp. Need a gap wedge with these as pw loft is 44 degrees. Need another wedge for around the green. Clubs are half-inch over standard. i.e.5-iron is 38.5 inches. This set came out in 2004;so may be hard to come by. But if you can find them now;probably real cheap;they are a solid club. Not much feel;but straight,long,and forgiving. Strong lofts;5-iron is 25 degrees. Hope this review helps. Another quality product from Wilson.

Took them out yester day and they're pretty good. No vibration, and they go straight. good looking club too.

Great playing club until the shaft breaks, my last one cost with shipping $58, Wilson plays the game buy the club but no after market shafts that reasonable cost. That alot of money for a shaft and grip with I bought a sand wedge last year or $65

Great irons.... very forgiving. shaft may be fat but it stops it from moving around in the back swing. i have had them for about 4 years. i hit them great. i shoot in the low 90s high 80s. good feel.
