Summary: This is a great set of clubs. To be honest the looks got me and the reviews. I hit the 3 longer and farther that I have ever hit a 3. I am going 205 to 210 plus. I cannot wait to try the new models. I am a Wilson Staff guy for life. Congrats to Patty....

Shoots in the 80s
Summary: I played my second game with the Di5's yesterday and am extatic with the results. My previous clubs were clone Ping semi-blades which I could no longer control, so I looked for something with a little more forgiveness. After losing a number of auctions on eBay, I was finally able to pick up the Di5's for $AUD 250.00. The set had been used once by the previous owner (which was obvious when I received them in the post - excellent condition). The larger head and sweet spot reminded me of Ping Eye 2's which served me well a number of years ago. They came with Royal V-sand grips which are fantastic. I would re-grip the rest of my clubs with these if I could find a supplier.
Overall these clubs are 1/2 to a full club longer than my previous set - about 155m to 160m with a 5 iron. The wedges are also longer, even with a nice high trajectory which lands the ball softly with less roll. Mis-hits still go in the general direction that they are aimed with not that much loss of distance, and when you hit them in the middle of the club the feedback lets you know that you've hit a good shot.
I shot 8 over par and scored 46 Stableford points yesterday, winning the club comp. 3 birdies on the back 9 (two of them par 3's) with one of the shots hitting the flag pole. For the same money I could have had 50 points with 3 lip-outs and one putt grazing the hole. I attribute this score mostly to the new clubs, although I will admit to putting better than usual. Two strokes off my handicap now have me on 15.
Wilson have just bought out the Di6 clubs, which are exactly the same as the Di5's, just with a different badge. Don't pay through the nose for expensive brand clubs, these are just as good.

Summary: i decided to add a second set of irons to my equipment and came across this set brand new at a great price. i wasn't expecting much due to the low price i got these at but wow! the first time i hit them into my net at home i noticed how fast the ball came off the face. needless to say i couldn't wait to hit them on the range and i was not dissapointed great ball flight easy to hit very forgiving. i have played blades for years now but i think these baby's just made it to the starting lineup!

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Wilson Staff Di5
Summary: After taking a 12 year break from golf I have found that I had lost 20 metres on each of my 20 year old irons. The Di5s have instantly put that back. These are good solid quality irons and I am expecting my scores to improve very soon. It is possible to hit very bad shots; they are not magic clubs; but fat or thin often still go straight. I got the regular shaft. Being a superceded model I was able to get them online for A$369 which is just under 33% of most other 'game improvement' irons. Very happy.
Addendum on my review: I just won the annual club championship - B Grade Nett - with these fantastic irons. I love em!

Summary: I've been playing 1992 Wilson Staff system 45 irons for years, love'em. Came across an exceptional buy on the di5's and thought I'd give them a try.There is no way to describe how excited I am about these irons. Long, solid,straight.
