When I first bought these clubs i didnt know what to think they looked easy to hit and easy to control. When i go out to the driving range i take out the three iron and hit a perfect flighted shot right at the 250 yard marker. Since i could hit the three iron i knew i could hit the rest of the clubs. These clubs look great a adress and great in the bag

These are some seriously impressive irons...In looking for a new set of irons, I wanted something that would allow me to work the ball both up and down and side to side, but would also have some modern game improvement features. After doing some research, I decided to give these irons a try (at $175 on eBay, I had nothing to lose). First time out with these irons, I played 9 holes at my local club. Final score: 2 under par 34. The front nine at this course is about 3450 yards, and requires you to play every shot there is and use every club in your bag. These clubs can do it all (draw, cut, fly high, stay down, etc.) and have a great feel to them. They also set up beautifully at address. The long irons are really easy to hit, and the short irons really allow you to control spin and manipulate the ball the way you need to. The best example of this came on the par 3 third hole. 156 to the pin, into a Florida afternoon wind. A hard 8 would probably have spun too much and come up short, so I chose a knockdown 7 and almost threw it in on the fly. But even with the knockdown swing, the spin was sufficient to hold the green about 2 feet from the ball mark. With all of this in mind, what was most impressive to me was their consistency. When miss-hit, these clubs let you know you did something wrong, but they keep both their distance and trajectory pretty well, and are not very penal at all. That being said, a miss-hit by a 70's or 80's shooter and a miss-hit by a high handicap golfer or beginner are two different things. These are not irons for the high handicapper or novice. While they are not blades, they have only a slight offset and are designed more for workability than forgiveness. For these players, the Cleveland TA7 and CG4 are GREAT irons and offer added forgiveness while having the ability to learn how to work the ball. And I don't say this to be arrogant; I couldn't break 110 when I first started playing, so I know what it's like to need the extra forgiveness. However, if you are looking for an iron that offers superb shot-making ability without getting killed for not hitting the ball perfectly, then I highly recommend at the very least looking into these.

Saw Parnevik playing these and bought them for that reason. eBay $175. An exceptional iron and an improvement over the irons I played over the summer and fearly fall, the Titleist 704CB, itself a good club. The profile of the Wilson clubs is thin, setup is very comfortable. Ball flight is slightly lower than with the Titleist but these have a little stiffer shaft, whuch may explain that. I practice a lot, and these irons clearly are more accurate for the 7-PW, which I tend to really focus on at the range. Dispercement around the practice pins is noticeably tighter which added a lot of confidence to my approach shots. The longer and mid irons (I only use up to a 4 iron) also fly well. Off center hits are not that punished. To wit, I recently finsihed an afternoon on a shorter par 4 by playing my ball plus 5 others to the pin which was 145 out. I used the 9-iron,and with darkness setting in, fired away. The first shot was clearly struck off center towards the toe, and I didn;t see it's flight. THe following five shots felt pretty well centered. Due to darkness, balls on the green were not visible from this distance. As I wlaked to the green, I was looking for maybe three balls on, two close, and the first ball likely pretty well off the target. To my surpirse, as I approached, I saw one ball off the green by about ten yards short and maybe 5 yards left of target line. Ends up there were five balls on the green, two very close to the pin. This summarizes my experience with these clubs. They are consistent with distance and pretty forgiving while also giving reasonable feedback. I sussequently got current year (2005) Titleist 690 forged clubs and do not use them; the Wilson's are more enjoyable. Got really close to harrington at the range at East Lake CC in ATL, and he was clearly bagging these irons. They're real solid clubs, good enough for Parnevik, hence more than good enough for me. The profile is thin and therefore blade-like, however, the level of forgiveness

Titleist 704CB. Both excellent clubs, I prefer the Wilson's by a considerable margin.

I first fell in love with these beautiful irons in March 2005 at the Toronto Golf Show. At the time however, there was no way that I could afford them. I won an auction on eBay last night for these and picked them up this morning. I've already played a round with them (Feb 4th, 2006 in Southern Ontario, Canada)and went through a large and small bucket. I shot +1 first time out with my new irons with less than ideal conditions. Here goes my early assessment. First of all the looks. These irons in a word are beautiful, from their smaller head to the classic thinner top line. They look great in the bag and at address. Truly a classic looking iron. Performance wise I shanked a couple initially at the range (it was all me). Afterall I went from a real game-improvent iron (Jazz Fat Cat Flow Weighted) to the Pi5. I made a quick adjustment and strike after strike was pure. These irons offer great feedback. I was hitting into a stiff east wind at the range and I really can't comment on the distance but the ball flight was penetrating. The Pi5 iron will do what you want it to do on command. Draw, fade, high or low the Pi5 does it all. I know the distance is longer than my old irons but it is hard to truly guage at this time. I know the 8 iron in the cold and rain today was a solid 150 yds. I really feel that anyone that wants the pleasure of hitting a blade style iron would enjoy these alot. They are forgiving and there is no doubt in my mind why Paddy and Jesper play these on Tour. Did I mention I won the 3-PW and Wilson Staff Tw5 wedges Gap thru Lob for $380 CDN.

I really, really like this. I have them with Dyn Gold S300. I have been alternating this with Cleveland TA2's. The head size and profile is similar (Staff's are a little larger). Straight, workable and rock solid. Nice ball flight. I picked up a mint set on Ebay for $165.....a steal. Tour used by Harrington and Parnevick, you need not be a pro to enjoy these, just an adequate ball striker.

solid hitting clubs. distance is really long. control is awesome shaping shots working ball is so easy with these irons, had played the fi5's which is also a great club however seem to enjoy these quite a bit more. guess I see why Harrington plays these babies.

I finally got to try these tonight. I have been looking at them for a couple weeks, but there were only right models in store...they got the lefties today. I must agree with the previous post on pretty much everything. These are a very nice looking club both in the bag and at set-up. They have minimal offset, a fairly thin top-line, and fairly small heads. Unfortunately the left model cannot be had in forged, so cast it is, but I found the cast to have very good feedback. They are in the same stream as the RAC LT's, but they are a much less chunky looking club at address, and they offer a bit more feedback. I hit 10 balls with them and can't comment on off-center shots because I nutted it with all 10...I'm already in love. Who is it for...well, at $890 CD they are definitely not for me not matter how much I like them. If you have the cash, then they will suit anyone who can hit a blade and anyone who makes good contact with cavities, but wants to get away from the chunky, offset sticks. I persnaly prefer them to the RAC LT's, but even those are quite expensive.

I just got these and took them out for the first time yesterday for 9. I will most likely post again once they get some use, but I chose to now because these irons deserve it. First off. These irons look amazing and set up beautifully. They have minimal offset, and are very similar to blades when looked down upon. I wouldn't say the topline is exactly thin, but like I said, these definitely resemble a blade. The 3-7 have the undercut cavity. 8-PW are cavity backs, however the backs are small, similar to Cleveland TA3s. The dynamic gold shafts are the perfect combination for these irons. Best ball flight ever. I wish these came stock with cord grips. The standard velvet gave me a blister on my thumb after only about 7 holes. I only have one complaint about these irons: The heads are cast. They feel very solid esp. in conjunction with the DG shafts but are not quite as soft as forged. You still get feedback on any off-center hits though. I was already hitting a club down even on my first time out with these (8i rather than 7i at 150). Whether that is due to the somewhat strong lofts I don't know. Overall, these are excellent clubs. Worth $600? Maybe not exactly but definitely close and cheaper than its counterparts. These can be had for pretty cheap online though if you look in the right places. The Pi's are NOT for you if you need an oversize head or any offset at all. I'm not sure of you can get these with regular shafts either. If you ask me, these will probably compete more with the RAC LT's rather than other forgings, though these are more of a players club than the TMs. Give these a try if you've had any thought about them at all, you won't be disappointed.
