I played investment cast for 15 years and recently bought a set 1977 staff blades for $76. I work the ball with better feel and have been shooting in the 70's since I switched. I love them.

I saw this set of blades on e-bay and couldn't resist. Sweet handling, great feedback, I'm playing a lot more precise than I used to when using cavity clubs. My HcP came down from 27 to 14 this season - go figure. Oh, and by the way I'm using a MacGregor Tourney Persimmon driver from the early 80s and - I kid you not - hit it 220 yds carry. Not bad for a woman, is it? Forget the new doodads, they only cost you a fortune - stick with the old stuff. Your game will benefit greatly and besides you'll be the coolest cat on the course ;-)

I first learned to play golf with my dads hand me down forged irons. I went to casted clubs in the late 80's. I recently got my hands on a Wilson Staff Tour Blade 6 iron, and I love it! I loved it so much I searched day and night for them on ebay. I found a set 2-pw for $82.00. These clubs feel awesome, and if your the kind of golfer who plays on touch and feel, then these are the sticks to get. I going to put the Gunmetal TA5's on the back burner for these.

I purchased the fg-17's a year ago, and had them rechromed, regrooved, and reshafted with flighted rifle shafts. Total set price 600 dollars. There is no comparison to the feel of the wilson's. I have demo'd the nike and titleist muscle backs, and they are not as forgiving nor as soft feeling. Anyone who can consistently shoot under 85 can definately benefit from these clubs.

After playing blades for over 22 years I thought I needed to go to a primeter weighted club. I had won a set of Titliest 981 (custome fitted) in 1998 that had been in my closet. I have tried to play the Titliest but could not "work" the ball like I can with the Wilson's. The Titliest are back in the closet, waiting for me to get old. the Tour

I got these on ebay they were reshafted with S-300 dynamic gold shafts. Feels great, silky smooth, and seems to go right where I aim it. Was worried about playing blades since everyone says only low handicapers should use blades but I hit these more solidy then with my old cavity backs. If you can hit irons pretty consistently and you are looking for blades for a steal in price consider these. Lofts are traditional(less loft then modern irons) so if saying you hit a pitching wedge 130+ yards makes you feel like a bigger man get different clubs. I have been clubbing up to account for the difference. Nice thing about traditional loft is that pitching wedge acts more like a lob wedge.

Mizuno Mp-14, did a direct comparison of my friends mp-14 and FG-17 felt better to me. Only major difference is the price (mizuno $400+) and lofts (mp's pitching wedge looks like fg's 7-8 iron)

The most incredible blade I have ever played!!! As long as you change the original shaft... Since changing original shaft to s-300 sensicores,they have become phenominal irons. If you're considering playing with blades, take a look @ the FG-17's

What a find. These babies were re-shafted in stiff graphite, tour velvet, a couple degrees upright (just right) and juiced a few degrees. Somebody loved them and took care of them. Now I love the length and control. The fact that I can swing easy and hit the 8 iron 150 and work it either way helps keep my swing smooth. Great sticks for me.

Beautiful clubs similar in design to latest Titleist blades. Thin top line, no off-set, small heads. Mine have sensicores which soften mis-hits a bit. Very workable left, right, high, low. The feel of these on solid hits is nothing short of sensual. Traditional lofts make them a bit shorter than modern clubs. Only negative is the groove design does not 'bite' with the shorter irons as much as modern clubs. Overall highly recommend to any above average players.

These clubs are incredible. They look amazing and hit even better. With these clubs I have complete control of the ball and can work it as I choose. Great clubs at a great price.
