Wilson Staff Di7 Irons

Wilson Staff Di7 Irons 

DESCRIPTION

Simply stated, the new Wilson Staff Di7 irons are not like other clubs. A lower profile moves the center of gravity down for higher ball flight. A wide sole moves the CG back for greater stability and straighter ball flight. A wider tip shaft prevents twisting on off-center hits. If you want to hit it longer and straighter, try the new Di7.

Started last season at around 20 in hcp. Went to the local shop and bought the Di7 after I´ve read some good reviews of it. What can I say, in the distance department they are just great. Straight, high, long and they are also easy to hit. Went down rapidly in hcp and ended my season at 11,2. Now I´m looking for some more workable clubs especially in the shorter game, though I will probably keep some of the longer Di7 irons in my bag, there´s no point doing it more difficult than it has to be.

I love these clubs! Yes, they hit about a club further, and people attribute this to the decreased loft, but that's not it...in fact, they still have a fairly high trajectory... These clubs are just plain easy to hit, and the ball lands softly. I have even spun the ball back a few times, which I could not do with my old irons. The ball tends to fly straight, but I have faded the long irons once or twice; unfortunately this wasn't when I wanted the fade.

Customer Service

Good. I bought a wedge from them, and the guy was helpful

Love these clubs, definitely very forgiving. They definitely hit a club further but that's because the lofts are almost a club lower than they should be. But I'm not complaining, they're great and easy to hit. Hardly any vibration up through the shaft

These clubs look good and give me confidence. The distance is pretty much the same as other clubs I have used however they seem to be more accurate.

After many years of struggling with a second hand set of blades, I chose the Di7's to improve my consistency.

I agree with others, in that the grips are not the best, but I won't be racing out to change them immediately.

My natural shot shape is a slight draw and penetrating, but I found that while the Di7's let me keep this shape, the landing was a lot softer.

The distance is phenomonal - easily a club length longer, maybe two! Long irons are significantly easier to hit, never going too far off course even with the poorest of contacts, however I did struggle with the 9 iron and pitching wedge somewhat. The lay of the club face is a bit too chunky to easily get under the ball and generate that nice short lop shot onto the green, forcing me to go the chip and run route; sometimes when I really didn't want to.

In summary:

i) Easy to hit
ii) Unbelievable distance
iii) Will improve your long/mid game
iv) Not enough feel in the short irons
v) I paid £199 for these-superb VFM.

I am 16 and started playing golf at 14. As part of my incentive, my Dad said I could get my “first” proper set when I broke 80 which I did two weeks ago on the local muni. Since then I have been really trying everything the pro has stocked at my Dad’s club.

Last week I read ball striker’s review and I thought it sounded great especially it was one of the demo sets they were trying to shift. I must have read every review in the Di7 after that and saw the “battle of the words” between ballstriker and drjacko on this site. (I called my Dad over to read and he asked me to tell you guys to both get a room)

So I take the set out to the range: everything flies out the middle and I hit a 9 iron flush 135. It sprang off the club face! Dad’s laughing, Pro tries to get me interested in the Di9s. He’s still trying when he agrees to let me take the set out to the course. The first 9 is pretty straight and long with bunkers defending. Driver behaves. 6 fairways, 8 greens. Advantage ballstriker! The second nine goes woodland and wet with doglegs and tighter fairways. I fall out of love very quickly. To hit a fade, I had to set up for what would have been a sure slice. A bogey on the 10th was a sign of the stupidity to come. My driver swing was intact for one more hole before a par three just screwed with my head and my day. It was very ready to hook when I wanted to draw. My Dad was still laughing. The worst bit? There was no feel with the chips and bump and runs for me to even recover.

I was never going to post any of the ones I wasn’t going to settle on but the debate below made me want to review.

BTW my Dad who is on 3 hit the Di7 6 iron 170 but after he pottered about with it and said it was too hard to work the ball right consistently. He told me I was a better player for realising it.

Don't get me wrong, these are good game improvement clubs, especially at the price they are now. They are really good build too! But drjacko was right.

With the comments that ballstriker are zinging each other... I think drjacko:
1)is a real doctor,
2)a real potty mouth
He might not have the better handicap but the review is dead right. Drjacko's comments are way funnier as well. Looking forward to your other reviews.

Customer Service

The staff at Brown Trout GC are fantastic. The pro is as good as they come. He let me take the set out on the course!

These are premium irons. I read some of your reviews, went to the sports authourity and they had a sale on these for $249.99 so for me it was a no-brainer. I have always liked the feel of Wilson cavity backs. I was having a hard time with distance and feel on my Nike Slingshots so I decide to pick these sticks up and man am I glad I did. The ball just seems to pop at impact and spring toward the target. I had to club down a fews times as I was getting more distance than I figured. I usually shoot in the mid 80's or so and I do reccomend these sticks for anyone from a scratch golfer to a 20 hdcp. I'm a little dissapointed in the paper thin golf pride slick grips but that was it. Just had em re gripped and they are bar none the best set of Irons I have ever owned..And I dont know what people are talking about in regards to shaping shots..I am able to cut my ball naturally on shots from 150 yds and in and Im having no trouble at all turning over the longer irons...Screw the 3 iron anyways I went to a hybrid 18 degree and havent looked back since..These irons are amazing and Wilson golf is a major name brand just like calloway, nike and mizuno...give em a try if you guys are looking for a premium set of irons.

This is one sweet set of irons. I am a beginner who has played for about 15 months. My previous irons were a set of cheap knock-offs that felt like tire irons and were about as accurate. However, I bought the Wilson Staff Di7's at a sale where I got to try out several brands and use a ball flight monitor for comparison. The first thing I noticed was that I barely felt the impact of hitting the ball; there is very little vibration in the shaft. I chose the Wilson's over several other options because of the feel and they had the best combination of distance and accuracy. My first time out with them I was rewarded with some very accurate shots, these clubs hit dead straight. As others have pointed out, you can't shape the ball with them. It will always roll forward after impact, no side spin at all. But, I figure that is better for a beginner since I never knew where the ball was going with my other irons. Hence the 4 rating since someday I may grow out of these clubs and want more control.

It is true they hit one club more than your average set without any effort. I hit a pitching wedge 120 yards and overshot the green with the 5-iron from 150 yards out, so add 10 yards to whatever you are used to hitting. Overall, I'm very glad I bought these clubs, I am able to focus on my strategy and not be all anxious that I'm going to blow my second shot and ruin a good drive.
