I'd been looking at the Di7's for a while, trying to decide between these and the Ci7's. I was previously using an old set of Wilson Head Speed clubs, which I grew to love. But it was just time for something new. I finally decided on the Di7's based on: 1) price (got them at Golf Galaxy on clearance for $130), and 2) the fact that these are truly game improvement clubs and I will take all the help I can get. Well, I've had them for about a month now, playing 3 or 4 times a week, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

First off, these are a great looking set of clubs. It has a slightly lower vertical profile and thinner topline than your typical GI or SGI club, which is nice. The fat shaft and lower hosel does not detract from the overall look. In fact, you probably wouldn't really notice it at a passing glance unless you knew about it.

The first thing I did was head to the range. When I go, I always start with my wedges and work my way up to driver. Right off the bat, I was hitting the gap wedge just about as far as my old pitching wedge, which I was hitting as far as my old 9-iron, and so on. So yes, I concur with all the reviews that say these sticks hit about a club longer, depending on what you used to play. The other thing I noticed was that it was very easy to hit them straight. Even on miss-hits, you can see the ball trying to hold on to that centerline. But isn't that the essence of a set of GI clubs? LONG and STRAIGHT. The Di7's definitely deliver.

The urethane coating within the cavity is said to reduce vibration. This was very evident to me, as I felt considerably less vibration than with my old set. However, this does not comepletely take away all the feel of the club. It still gives you enough feedback to judge miss-hits. But when you do hit the sweet spot and catch a ball clean, it feels (and sounds) really good.

One other observation I had was that the weight of the clubs were slightly heavier than my old ones. I started to develop some shoulder soreness as a result. But that has since gone away, making it a matter of just getting used to them.

Now for a couple complaints (but keep in mind that complaints are usually a matter of personal preference)...

The grips are Golf Pride Decade II's. In my opinion, these grips are very firm and not very tacky. There were times when I felt the club twist in my hands at impact. The fat shaft is supposed to counter twisting, but that's hard to do when you can't hang on to the club. So, I started to grip the club tighter. That seemed to work, but I wasn't too keen on the method. I prefer to have a nice, relaxed grip throughout my swing. In addition, I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, and having to grip things tighter leads to greater discomfort. The solution? New grips. I had them re-gripped with Winn DSi's, which are much softer and a lot more tacky. So far, so good. I'm very satisfied and a lot more comfortable now.

Lastly, these clubs are not meant for shaping shots. But I can't really complain about that since these are GI clubs. I'm sure the Ci7's have the upper hand in this department. However, I was able to get some amount of draw and fade out of them, but the ball just never got to where I was trying to get it.

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend these clubs to any mid to high handicapper. Before I got them, I was consistently scoring between 90 and 95. Now, thanks in part to these clubs and lots of practice, practice, PRACTICE(!), I am now consistently shooting in the mid 80's, with an 81 thrown in there for good measure.

These clubs are the best bang for the buck. I must say I took a few rounds to get the feel of them, especially the gap wedge. Now I am extemely confident in the clubs. I do agrre with most reviews that you hit a club length longer than you would do with any other club.. This was the main reason it took me a while to get comfortable with them. Would buy them again in a minute

I, like many others bought this set of clubs at Golf Town for 228.00Cdn.
These clubs are incredibly long, i still cant get over it. When my driver is broken (or when i suck) i use my 4 iron and only notice about a 40 yard difference, and i hit on avg 290yds. I hit my 4 iron off the tee as far if not further than all the people i play with that use driver.
At first these clubs took a while to get used to, i used to play a minor slice, and i find with these clubs it either goes dead straight or with a slight draw.
My biggest pet peeve about them, like someone else mentioned, was the finish on the heads. After one round i noticed many scuffs on the face of the irons. But other than that 0 complaints. I recommend these irons for the average golfer, they should improve your game for sure!

I bought these as a first set of clubs. I did tons of research before hand, and frequented all of the local shops to try out everything I could. I kept coming back to these, but I didn't like the price. Eventually, I ran into a good deal and pulled the trigger. They are fairly easy to hit, have good feedback on good and bad shots, and feel good in my hands. I can't say you could find a better club for the money. I definitely recommend them for a new golfer or high handicapper.

Bought these clubs a week ago and have played 3 rounds since then. Also picked them up from Golftown (4-GW) for $228 Canadian on a whim and it is easily the best money I have ever spent on my golf game. For someone who has struggled to break 100 with any consistency, my first 3 rounds with these clubs have been 99, 96 and 88 (all on the same course I play all the time so it's an accurate depiction of play)!!

Quite simply, these clubs are ridiculously straight and just 'feel right' - both in terms of address and in swingweight. The uniflex fat shaft, although somewhat bizarre looking, definitely feels solid during the swing - something that works well with my build (5'11 and muscular). These are definitely game-improvement clubs, but they don't like quite as ridiculous as most game improvement models at set up. They don't have a crazy amount of offset or bounce, but also aren't tiny like a blade - so you get the best of both worlds and they seem to play well out of a variety of lies.

In terms of distance, I'm by no means a huge hitter, but today on the 18th I was able to carry a 4 iron from 200 yards out to within 5 yards of the pin - all with a sweet trajectory. I've long been a low-ball hitter but these clubs just give enough help to get the ball up in the air without ballooning on you. I've paired with purchase up with moving to a 3-piece ball (the Callaway Hx One) and I'm loving the results. I think it's safe to say I can change my level of play from 'shoots in the 100s' to 'shoots in the 90s'.

The only thing I don't like about these clubs is they don't provide great feedback on chips - the bounce on the pitching and gap wedge seem a little too much for a tight lie. To solve this little problem I now carry an old Wilson Dynapower 9-iron (an old 1970's model) which chips like a dream. It was an easy inclusion into my bag since the Di7 4-iron can drill it 200 yards down the fairway, it's allowed me to drop a fairway wood from my bag.

For any mid or high handicappers out there looking for an affordable set of irons that flat out performs - you have to give this set a try!

Picked these up at golftown more than 50% off ($228 canadian). I tried a bunch of clubs and lastly these caught my eye, mainly because of the price haha, but I gave them a few swings on the sim and was in awe, its like these clubs were designed for me, they outperformed bigger names and prices, the shot grouping was very tight, and they were crazy long, I hit the 7-iron 220 yards on the sim, bought them and brought them to the range immediately and had the same results, very high, longest clubs ever tried, and very accurate and straight. Cannot be any happier with these clubs especially at the price, I have the steel uniflex shafts. I was hitting the 4 iron as far as others were hitting there drivers on the course. TRY THEM AND BUY THEM!!!

I recently bought these clubs at Golf Galaxy for $133 and change. That was the first reason I bought them. The second reason was the fact that they just looked like the right clubs. Nice fat shaft with no hosel. They dropped my score from the 100's down to 93 at the best. The irons are so smooth and I am getting under every shot since they moved the CG down. Overall these clubs are worth the money and then some, my set was a Gap wedge through 4 iron. So if you have $150 laying around and you need a new set, I would highly recommend picking them up!

I have the steel shaft uniflex version, they are great. WOW!!! I play 75 times per year and currently carry a 6 handicap on my home course. These clubs are awesome! I switched from Wilson Deep Red II Tour Irons (which are great players clubs for the money) and absolutely love these irons. As others have said I am one club longer with these clubs. I have found the short irons to be extremely long and accurate. Length has never been my strength but now at age 52 I hit the pitching wedge about 125, 9 iron 135, 8 iron 145, you get the picture. I have found that nice smooth swings are greatly rewarded. My natural tendency is a slight draw and I have found that I hit these pretty much straight. But they go right where you aim them. Minor off sweet spot hits are still playable. Of course no clubs will help much with your really bad swings!! I was worried about hitting them too high as they do have a low center of gravity but I have found that I hit them only slightly higher and they have excellent trajectory. I highly recommend these clubs to any level of player. Good players are told you need to "work" the ball. Honestly, you are more likely to become a scratch golfer by hitting one shot pattern all the time and spend the time you would work on different shot patterns working on your short game. That is where Pros really are great, they get the ball in the hole with their wedges and putter. Wilson clubs are an absolute STEAL for the money, compared to the larger names! Buy them! I paid $200 for a 4-sw, 9 club set on ebay.

I traded in my 4 yr old forged Mizuno's for the Di7 after reading so many reviews and I am a Sr Player. The difference is an expensive set has a swing wt of D2 w Di7 being D4. The degree of loft on each Di7 is one more club than the tour clubs. Where I was using a 9 iron, I use Di7 Pw, as an example. Or tour 5 iron vs Di7 6 iron for same distance. What I found and looking for was a straight ball which I am getting with the Di7. I bought my set May 2007 and have gotten used to the wide sole and heavier clubs going into year two. I was looking for a club with higher trojectory which I am receiving with the Di7. I was a W/S guy in the 60's and happy I returned. I like these irons at address which conveys confidence. I like the fat shaft with no hosel and solid feel. I have really accepted the wide sole and design of this club. This low cost set of irons will be with me for some time as see no difference in having a $500.00 with my game. Only complaint is the finish on these irons are not the best and mark easily. Perhaps later model has finish that stands up to scuffs.

I have always struggled with my irons. Over the years, I have owned Titlelist 704 OS, Ping G5's, and most recently G10's. Then I read the reviews and "traded down" to the Di7's. Its light night and day...I can swing easier, and the ball travels farther, and more consistanly down the middle. I have only demo them, and play one round with my new set, but let me just say that I can now hit my 7 iron as far as I use to could hit my G10 5-iron. Call it more confidence or just plain better engineering, but something changed when I changed my irons. I think its the UST Proforce graphite shafts. They are lighter and the bend (torque) just suits my swing better. I sincerely recommend this to any mid to high handicap player with a slower swing speed who is looking for an improvement in their iron play. Oh, did I mention the price tag...New Di7's off eBay for $300. Half the price of the big boy irons.(I still use my G10 driver and fairway woods...they are still the best!)
