Summary: These clubs are really hard to describe. They are my first set of forges irons, and i will NEVER use anything but forged from now on. They may be a BIT harder to hit than clunker cavity backs, but i think you're either on, or off that day. They are pure heaven to use. The combo of workability and playability is excellent! They give you a real appreciation for being able to work the ball. when you are swinging decent, You wouldn't trade for anything. What I did to make them a bit more enjoyable for a mid capper, was to pull the 3 and 4 for a couple hybrids, in the long irons. PERFECT COMBO ! The progression from cavity to muscle back is really nice. I have some cleveland cg14's that I really liked, but i had to get the forged wedges to match the feel of the rest of the irons. Again good move, you WILL want that forged feel in the wedges! Thet are really goog wedges too! Well, to top it off, the price was great! a little over $200. GOLF IS SO ENJOYABLE WITH THESE CLUBS 11

Summary: Bought these on e bay for 209.00 9/10 condition wise. Clubs came 3/4 overlength which is good as i am oer 6ft. Immediatley went to range and hit these. First shot was a 8 iron apporx 170yrds. I was sold. Clubs easy to hit, require some concentration, they are blades, but i absolutely love them. I play the Staff Di7's great club but a bit too bulky for me. inotice some guys on here say they lose deistnace with these, that may be fair to say on the shorter irons. My old PW was 44 degrees, these are 47 so expect some distance loss to beefed up cavity backs. Overall, from 7 iron to 3 iron, no distnace change, just better ball flight, and by hte way, did i mention how good these clubs look? I also bought the FW6 wedges, 3 of them for 75.00 o ebay, brand new...my set is complete...I am very happy with these irons, i would give them a 5/5. I was looking at Mizuno but was far more impressed by these.

Summary: I wanted to go back to a more bladed design like my old Henry Hatton's. I found these clubs brand new in the box on Ebay for just $170 all in. I love them to bits a little shorter on distance i would say but the ball stays on line from the moment its struck, which is what a proper golf club should do. The clubs are quite upright and i only had to have them bent by 1* rather than the usual 2* (club fitter analysed me) surely there is not a better kept secret than these clubs for the money.
I have to agree with previous posters also. You catch yourself just staring at them as they are a true thing of beauty!
5***** good job Wilson these irons are perfect.
Hope that helps someone.

Summary: i've had these irons for over a year now but i've still been trying out the latest models of all the manufacturers but i've not found anything as soft and easy to hit. they look amazing at address with almost no offset. the feel is great throughout the swing. i would say that anyone who puts a half decent swing on it would benefit from these, they are just so easy to hit. easy to work the ball. the only problem i had was a struggle to keep the ball down, it wasn't too high but into the wind it was hard to hit the cut down punch shot. overall fantastic irons. enjoy
Summary: First, a confession: I USED to be in the 80s when I last played over 20 years ago. Had to stop due to physical problems.
After a good health turn, I started back up with a friend's Taylormade R7s. Forgiving but had difficulty hitting them directionally. Started trolling the 'net for forged irons (I started with forged blades a thousand years ago). This made me nervous because of the precision blades required. The Wilson Fi5 transition irons seemed like a decent compromise between pure blades and weighted perimeters. I took a flyer and bought them from The Golf Warehouse (3-PW, $345!!!). The clubs (R300 shafts, nice cord grips) arrived in pristine condition on the date they promised.
Let me tell you that I am deliriously happy with them. My buds have had to endure my giggling surprise when I hit my shots where I want them to go. The fear that I had about not being able to hit these decently was unfounded. The feel's there when I miss-hit. When the strike is spot-on, the buttery feel is an amazing reward.
Now, I have not yet wrangled consistent good smacks out of the 3 iron and that's okay. I'll get there. If you've considered these clubs, pull the trigger on this price.
Did I mention how elegant, trim and classic the design is? Sometimes I think I must look like an idiot, staring away at my irons because they are beautiful.
Indulge your obsession. Go 'head.
Thank you for such a great site, folks. The reviews have been invaluable in my decision making process.
