SPOTTED! – 2011 Wilson FG-62 Irons, FG Tour Wedge & More


Dear Golfers,

Hello…remember me?  Let me jog your memory.  61 Majors have been won by pros using me…yes that’s right…sixty-one {PRETTY IMPRESSIVE} that’s more then any other golf club manufacturer can say for themselves.  But lately not as many of you think of me when you go to buy clubs.  Don’t worry about it…we understand.  We haven’t been ourselves of late.  But we hope to change that.  By the way my name is Wilson…Wilson Golf.

We don’t have the budget like a Taylormade or Callaway to promote our gear to the masses across the globe.  But we believe…like a good restaurant…if you have good food people will find you.  And that is exactly what we plan to do…provide good food to all the hungry golfer’s games.  We have gone back to our roots with our new menu…we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Talk Real Soon,

What MyGolfSpy Readers Are Saying…

Here is what some of the MyGolfSpy Forum readers are saying about some of the new sticks coming out of Wilson Golf for 2011:

  • Jamo said – “I’m running out of ways to say “that club looks awesome”.
  • Xamilo said – “Those are beautiful irons! Wilson definitely has taken a step ahead in classic elegant design in most of their clubs.”
  • Cartoverlord says – “The FG62’s are beautiful! The topline is gorgeous! Will be on my wish list!”
  • Moecat said – “Handsome looking wedge!”

      Do the FG62 irons have the new conforming grooves

      Been playing these since last August and they are the best blades I have played…better than Nike and Mizuno. Wonderful penetrating, flat ball flight; great lines and a classic look…but please keep in mind that these are “player/striker” irons. Unless you are shooting in the mid/low 70s regularly, forget it. Even I will hit the worm-killer 4-iron on occasion. Wilson Staff has other wonderful products to fit your game.

      Please, please, PLEASE, somebody post back who’s tested out the FG62’s and the FG Tour forged, and let us know the details and differences. I can’t decide if I’m an idiot for wanting to get yet another set of Wilson blades (which I’ve been playing almost exclusively through a fairly decent 25-year competitive career, both amateur and pro–and yes, I can still hit it plenty long and find a sweet spot with some reliability, although of course not every time) or whether I need to concede the fact that by playing the blade instead of the forged head with slight-to-moderate forgiveness, I’m starting down a stroke or two a day to other players who are playing clubs like the FG Tour or other perimeter-weighted forgings. I wonder whether it puts me in a position where I have to be that much better than other good players to have even a chance to contend, and whether that’s just some form of unnecessary self-torture.

      Part of the ambivalence comes from the fact that what we call “blades” today often aren’t quite as punishing to slight mishits as were the blades of a generation ago. Some of the MacGregor forgings of the past few years (the 1025M, for instance, a really good club) have a reputation of surprising people with how much easier they are to hit than older musclebacks. So it’s possible that the FG62s may not be all that different from the FG Tours in terms of playability, I guess.

      For the record, I don’t really like a ton of forgiveness; I want to know when I’ve missed a shot. Having clubs that are “forgiving” is a good way to creep increasingly far away from a good path and good release through the ball, and good contact on the face, because you don’t feel the punishment until you get way, way off, and then it’s harder to find your way back. But on the other hand, if you’re going to compete, you know you may be losing a bit of an edge to guys with slightly more forgiving clubs, and all it takes is a couple of lost shots a day, as when a slight mishit that would’ve found the fringe, or the green 40 feet from the flag, ends up plugged in the face of a bunker or a greenside lake. Just those 15 or 20 feet of difference…I dunno. I hate it, but I keep wondering if I’m hurting myself–not because I can’t play the blades, because I’ve proven that I can, but because other players are not and their mishits are not getting punished as much. Erk.

      Personally, I think all championship-flight players and all pros ought to have to play with forged blades and some form of unforgiving woods, whether persimmon or not. You’d see the chaff blow away in a big hurry then.

      I used to be an incurable snap buyer. This time I decided to do it right. For ten years I have been playing Cleveland TA2 irons. I decided to shop around, determined not to buy a set I didn’t hit much better than mine. I about gave up until I hit the Mizuno MP68s, and then the Wilson FG62s. Wow! I’m not sure how they did it, but both sets are wonderful. Yeah, you have to hit them in the sweet spot, but when you do, nothing feels better. And, even the off center hits turn out okay. Best of all, I hit them both much higher than mine. In the end, the Wilsons won out. My first set of real clubs were some FG17s, which I still have and am about to mount in a shadow box. I therefore have a spot in my heart for Wilson irons. I ordered them with Project X 6.0 shafts. I am 57 and am a 5 handicap, which is steadily going down.

      Sorry I missed this reply all those years ago. Thanks so much.

      I had FG-17s myself and _loved_ them. Won a few bucks with them, in fact.

      Hope you’re still playing and still getting better. ;-)

      These are really sweet. The lines on the FG 62 are very clean.

      Now that’s something worth having sticking out of your golfbag!

      I loved my old Fluid Feel Tour Blades, until I found my Fi5’s. I tried the FG59’s last year at a demo and really liked them, but the $900 price tag has kept me from buying them. Now that Staff has the FG62’s, the ebay price on the FG59’s should drop. If it wasn’t for ebay, Wison Staff wouldn’t have any presense in North Carolina at all, other than one rep. I guess that’s because North Carolina isn’t much of a golfing state… (that’s sarcasm by the way)

      I’ve three different sets and one very old but great set of Wilson Tours. Very good clubs. Look forward to trying the new models.

      I recently got a great deal on a set of Ping G10 irons. After hitting them for a few weeks I didn’t like them as much as my old Di7 irons. I decided to purchase the Wilson Di9’s and really like the feel of the clubs.

      As a Cdn. soldier in Germany in 1971, my first Wilson’s were the X-31’s from an American PX….Over the years I have used their Tour Blades, RM Blades,(with fatshaft), Deep Red Tour blades and I am presently using the Fi-5’s…(reshafted to DynaLite Gold S-300)..Just a beautiful iron…I will seek out these irons too…and the guys say, “Why hit blades at your age, get the forgiving ones”….”Because they are Wilson’s”, I reply….Enough said….

      Love the look–update of my 1968 vintage Wilson Staff tour blades that I bring out once per season for 18 holes of humility. If they play as good as they look, I’ll snap up a set!

      Have been supporting Wilson’s return to tour quality clubs the last few years and they just keep getting better. Love the new irons (I love my FG Tour irons and won’t be switching anytime soon). I WILL be bagging that new FG Tour Wedge. I’ve been happy with my TW9 wedge for the last couple years. Although the head is a tad large for my tastes and feels a little clunky from tight lies in the fairway, it works great from the rough. I was knocking down pins all day with it last week so it’s more about aesthetics than performance. But the FG Wedge has great lines, looks to have the right amount of bounce for using off fairways and rough and will have legal grooves. Sold…
      I love my Odyssey putter and won’t be switching that either, but for a big head putter, the Vizor is much more my tastes than most of the ones I’ve seen. I will at least take it out for a spin. Now all I want from Wilson is a deeper face driver with a large sweet spot. The Smooth is handsome and good hits are fine, but it’s too low profile for me. If I go after it I occasionally pop it up a bit where as my deep face driver still rewards a less than perfect swing. It’s more forgiving.. Keep’em coming Wilson…You are definitely on the right track.

      I like the look of these clubs, I currently play the WilsonDi7 which are pretty good to hit. What is the story re the new irons in terms of their performance?

      this is a great looking iron I’m sure they will play as well or better than the older models.

      Love the look for the FG-62 irons and FG wedge. Not so sure about the Visor putter… Wish Wilson would have reissued a forged and milled version of the classic 8802. I think the 8802 would blend nicely with the styling of the FG-62 irons and FG Wedge. If you can hang around long enough, everything comes full circle.

      Having played mostly Wilson for most of my competitive career, such as it was (some low-level proing and a regained amateur status, plus-2 handicap, that kinda thing), I think you’ve really striped this one right by the flag. The irons and wedge make me weak in the knees–their last couple of forgings weren’t so bad either (Fi5, FG59, and even FG Tour), but these are just drool-worthy.

      But where your post really gets good is re the putter. I cannot for the life of me figure out how in the world 1) any decent player, especially a tour player or high-level amateur, would ever need a Jetsons Astroputter because they can’t find the sweet spot on a PUTTER, for Chrissakes, and 2) even if they’re not buying the Astroputter because they can’t find the sweet spot on a real putter, I can’t understand who would ever prefer one of these monstrosities–some of them even with a dampened insert, to remove even MORE of the feel!–over something like the 8802. I’ve spent the past 25 years or so switching occasionally between a really great George Low 600 replica that MacGregor put out under the Nicklaus signature back around ’91-’92 and an 8802 replica that Old Master (remember them?) put out back in the mid-’80s, with occasional forays (in the mid-to-late ’80s) into a Spalding TPM II (centershafted, but small flanged blade and almost no offset, a really good putter and the only centershafted putter I ever liked even a little bit). I really worry for the state of the world when people go out and buy $250 putters with all the geegaws, as if that really makes any difference–and then they still don’t go out and really practice putting, figure out ways to simulate pressure, etc. I bought that Old Master for about $35 or so back around ’84, and the 600 (it doesn’t have the double aiming marks, btw–just a great-looking unmarked top line) was around $55 or so (I won it in a tournament along with some other stuff, so I can’t really remember what the selling price was). The TPM, I think I got for about 12 bucks. That’s a quarter-century worth of winning and placing high in tournaments, hundreds of under-par rounds. I am still waiting for somebody to explain to me how a Jetsons putter actually helps anybody’s game, and why anybody with reasonable coordination cannot find the sweet spot on a simple forged putter. Gack.

      “We don’t have the budget like a Taylormade or Callaway to promote our gear to the masses across the globe. But we believe…like a good restaurant…if you have good food people will find you”.

      How true. I also like that they’re at least one of the oldest brands still in the “big show”. They could’ve easily gone the way of the Tommy Armours, Rams and Ben Hogans… getting lost in the shuffle because the “it” brands were/are busy putting their names anywhere they can find space- which, as we all know, means they HAVE to be the best! Fortunately, they didn’t and can still produce great-looking, high-performing equipment.
