Wilson Di5 Distance Irons

Wilson Di5 Distance Irons 

DESCRIPTION

Weight in the Di5 is moved from the heel area in the short irons to a lower, deeper position in the long irons where the weight is needed for maximum forgiveness and higher trajectories.With a unique cavity undercut and heel notch, and top-line width progressively increasing from the short irons to the long irons, weight is gradually shifted away from the face, improving perimeter weighting and forgiveness. A sizeable high COR thin face reinforced with a lightweight carbon weave support, as well as an increasing offset.

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....

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.

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!

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!

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.

WOW!
I haven't had this much fun golfing in a long time! It had been about 5 years since my last set of irons (Ping Zing) and I was lookig for something with a bit more pop... boy did I find it! Thse irons are easily one FULL club longer than my old Ping irons - probably closer to a club and a half. And very forgiving. Great looking club as well.
My old 7 iron would travel about 145, while the Di5 clock sin at 160-165 (still getting dialed in). For instance, a 165 yar dpar 3 over water that I normally play a 5 iron into is now a solid 7 iron shot - I AM AMAZED!
Short iron trajectory is medium high and really carries. 4-6 irons are easy to hit as well.
The only slight draw back is that these irons are not very workable. They go straight.. that's about it.

These irons seem to live up to the manufacturer's billing and many of the reviews I've read here. I had Deep Red irons in my bag for a couple of years, which I enjoyed plenty, but found the Staff models for super cheap on eBay and decided to give them a shot. The Di5s are definitely long, easy to hit, and straight, just as Wilson boasts. What's most remarkable about these though is how easy the long irons are to hit. Even with game improvement clubs in my bag, I was always afraid to swing a 3, but the Di5 long irons are ridiculously straight, long and easy to hit. (In fact, I often hit my 3 just a few yards short of driver--a 425cc r7, which is hardly a wimpy club!) In contrast, the short irons actually feel a bit stiff and don't seem to be quite as long as my old Deep Reds, which in fairness are insanely powerful clubs. I'm not complaining though--these are really terrific clubs, and a fantastic bargain at <$200, which seems to be the going price now.

Never had any reason to call on them.

I have just purchased this set for 199 U.S. and I have to say this is the best value set of irons going around, two birdies on two par threes (200m - 3 iron and 176m 4 iron) straight as a arrow and as long as my playing partners taylor made three wood. If your not afraid of using long irons, these are a fantastic set to consider, and you cannot get better value!
