Description Each iron in the Pi5 series is designed to move a precise amount of mass to the club's periphery, creating maximum forgiveness during off-center hits.The unique back weighting of the Pi5 design goes f...
Summary: Firstly, I must comment on the irons' looks - stunning! Probably the nicest looking set I've owned (and I've owned many!)
Prior to these, I played with Mizuno MX-17's which were very good irons, but I wanted a set that would turn me into a better ball striker, and I think I've found that set.
If you want forgiving irons, these aren't the ones for you. The thin top line doesn't inspire you with confidence and if you hit them thin, you'll know about it.
Having said that, hit them well and you'll be rewarded with a very satisfying feel. I had to make some minor adjustments but 9 times out of 10 I now get a crisp strike. Accuracy has also improved since using these.
When I first got these irons I was a worried man. I went to the range and started hitting the 7 iron (usually 150 yards). I was struggling to reach 130 yards. I started to feel that I had made a terrible mistake and feared the missus would kill me if I changed my irons yet again!! But now that I've got used to them, I would say that I have added about 5 yards extra on every club. Trajectory is slightly lower than the Mizuno's but I like that because I play a links course that can be very windy.
Wilson Staff have been making irons for as long as I can remember and are often overlooked in favour of better known brands. If you can find a set of these, I would recommend giving them a try. I got mine (left handed) brand new for £150 on ebay - bargain!
Summary: I just spent the summer with a golf Pro working on a consistent inside to inside swing. After he had taken about 8 shots off my game (using Nike SS's) He said you have a beautiful swing but your clubs are holding you back. He went to his car and brought back a set of Pi5's and I hit two buckets with them. I added a club and a half to every shot plus found accuracy I only dreamed of.. I bought them from him on the spot. Never thought I would be hitting a blade like this.. Shot my first 80 with them and I will break 80 this year.. Tremendous value.
Summary: Outstanding irons. Got mine for $30 plus shipping for a 3-PW set on Ebay... unbelievable! And is 7.5/10 condition...
I have the S flex DG S300 shafts.
These irons remind me of the great Titleist DCI series, especially the 762's, but better balanced and better feel and better distance. Solid as a rock, almost no offset, nice heavier swing weight.
These are very accurate irons.. they have some forgiveness, but probably better for those with a pretty consistent swing... 90's shooters can find better forgiveness with sticks like the RAC ht's or the Slingshot 4D irons.
I was playing the Ping i5 irons, great but too light in the head. My Taylor original CGB's were fabulous, but the graphite R flex was too soft.
I can see why Paddy played these, they are a no nonsense iron that is consistent and performs as well as you do. The trajectory is lower than the game improvement clubs by a good margin, but is great. The feel is great, not too soft, not too hard... solid, and some good blast effect on the pured shots.
I didn't pay much attention to Wilson stuff, but these are a BIG winner. $30 for the set was insane, but really, they are worth the $150 or so if you can find a clean set and have a pretty good game.
Great sticks!!
Customer Service: NA
Similar Products Used: Way too many, but I am a club junkie and love trying all of the sticks. The Pi5's are in the bag.
Summary: i got these recently at a local golf shop, i am not a real good golfer but i can manage a good round. i tried many clubs in the shop in the simulator room,i found that i hit these about 5-7 yds farther than the rest and remarkably straight for me it was a surprise as i usually dont hit irons the best in the world but with these im thinking i will hopefully see scores in the 80s very soon !!!!!!!!!
Customer Service: never used it !!
