The current Wilson Staff irons are extremely underrated. Both the forged & game improvement irons are high quality & as good as the other “top” club manufacturers. Their fairway woods & drivers are getting better, but still need work.

Totally agree! Their irons look really nice and are pretty much unbeatable in price.

It's amazing how when a logo gets associated with cheap/poor quality, the marketing doesn't think about changing the logo for their premium offerings. The Walmart association kills the consumer's perception of them.

This video is spot-on. When I started in golf, Wilson Staff was a high-end brand. But, like McGregor, it lost its luster. I used to play Staff balls, especially the Titanium Balata. But as they moved away from such high-quality equipment, I turned away. Now, Wilson is making some very intriguing balls and clubs, but I'll never consider them. Again, for the exact reasons described here. That's sad, because I know better, but that's the way it is.

Unfortunately for Wilson, you are not alone in that opinion. And your last few sentences are totally understandable, as Wilson has consistently "disappointed" people with mediocre and uninspired products. The only way I imagine them capturing people back is by consistently bringing out exceptional clubs for the next decade or so (and marketing them properly), which may inspire enough curiosity for us to actually buy them.

Currently playing Wilson Irons. Love them.

I have a set of Wilson woods, as in actual persimmon wood woods: driver, 3-wood, and 5-wood. Really nice looking set, with the finish getting progressively lighter from drive thru 5-wood: dark brown for the driver, medium for the 3-wood, and a blonde finish for the 5-wood. Got them at the time when the switch to metal woods had completely taken over. In fact, they were the last persimmon wood clubs in the store, and I bought them knowing I'd probably never really use them. Played with the 3-wood a few times, and the 5-wood was actually a nice little rescue type club. Also found a Wilson 50-degree gap wedge a few years ago on sale for $39.99 (at a golf store, not a big-box discount retailer). Bought it, and it has proved to be a fantastic little club. Can hit it off almost any surface. Seems utterly indestructible. The story of why Wilson fell from grace is typical of so many companies that fell victim to financial engineering and acquisition by sports conglomerates.

Your last sentence really holds true there. It's a crying shame that it happened, but like we saw with Adams Golf or Lynx - it could have ended much worse for Wilson.

They're definitely on the upswing. When Harrington and Woodland were winning their majors I thought that they had way less brand presence than they do right now. I have multiple friends with their current models of irons and they all love 'em. Wilson is a classic sporting goods brand from my youth (I'll never use a different brand of tennis racket) so I hope they keep on the up. Interesting to learn about the Staff and ProStaff difference between sports!

I still use my dad's 1959 Wilson Staff Top-Flite irons and woods. These are the clubs Arnold Palmer used in the late 1950s. I love them. Small heads and blades. You have to understand the physics of your golf swing to hit every ball perfectly. I don't need to hit 300-yard drives for my ego. My goal is to keep the ball in the fairway and out of the sand and water. I have tried to develop a very simple, repeatable swing by engineering my swing from the point of contact to the point of address as opposed to the opposite. I can't repeat as often as Ben Hogan and Moe Norman but I understand what I did wrong when my ball is not in the middle of the fairway. If I hit as many practice balls as Ben Hogan perhaps I would have been able to train my muscle memory to be more consistent. But, even at my age of 72, I keep trying.

I grew up in the 70s I got a 2nd hand set of Staff‘s . Great irons , my three sons all learned to swing with them . Still have have them

I have played almost ever set of irons on the course, from Adams to Taylormade, and PXG to Nike, and my first set of clubs were Wilson back in the 70's. . I review golf equipment and also the Wilson Dynapower Forged Irons. They look and feel really good too, with the launch, ease, sound and feel. My main golf sets that I mostly play and have current at this time, are the Taylormade 770, and Stealths; Srixon ZX5, Mizuno JPX 923, and the The Wilson Dynapower came in last with all the testing, bottom of the all the irons and last for Forgiveness, but pretty good for Distance, but I will stick to my current clubs. Thanks for the video.

I bought my Wilson club set, been so long since I last played that I am not sure if they are "Staff" or "ProStaff", back in '67 or '68. The woods were a Driver and #3. The Irons were #2, #5, and #7. Not sure who made the putter, straight blade and double-sided, which could be used with either hand. I later picked up an off-brand #9.

​@@myd0gr3x Well, based on majors won, we can definitively agree. Unfortunately, we both know which of the two factors you mentioned is more important for selling golf clubs 🙃

Lol, y'all keep trashing Wilson. You go ahead and spend $500 on a driver and I'll keep buying inexpensive, yet outstanding clubs. Rubes.

Sorry I just can't listen to this guy Reading off of a script in the same monotone boring droning tone for the whole video. Holy hell I about fell asleep

No need to apologize! But I do hope you share this video with any of your insomniac friends - I'm sure it would help them.

I’d guess Wilson went “woke.” …and so it is going broke. And it’s products lack good design. So who’s working for them designing and engineering? DEI hires?

"WILSONNNNNNN!"
