Wilson Staff FG-17 Forged Irons
Made in the early 1980s, the Wilson Staff FG-17 Forged Irons are still considered one of the best sets of forged irons ever to hit the market for low handicap golfers. They’re forged from mild carbon steel so they give the soft, solid, “buttery” feel that better golfers look for in a forged iron, and while they have a relatively small sweet spot — roughly the size of a dime — many people who have used these clubs describe the feeling of hitting the sweet spot as “a sensation unlike any other.”
The FG-17 irons aren’t fitted with the latest in technology, but they’re incredibly accurate and they give great workability and control. However, they are one of the most unforgiving clubs available, even more so than the Titleist 690.MBs, but their feel and feedback are superb. Players who are used to the FG-17 irons say that even if blindfolded, they could tell roughly how and where they hit the ball based just off the incredible feedback these clubs give.
And in addition to their performance, the FG-17s have all the traditional style that a person could wish for. They feature a semi-square toe design, a thin sole, and minimal offset. These, combined with the striking chrome finish, make the FG-17 forged irons quite handsome indeed.
To sum it all up, despite being an older set of irons, the Wilson Staff FG-17 Forged Irons are a superior set of irons for the experienced player. They’re unforgiving, but they make up for it by performing excellently in the hands of a skilled player.
