I've been wanting to post for a while now but i wanted to wait until I had my irons. Well here it is....

Driver: Wilson Staff FG Tour M3 8.5, Fujikura Rombax Z 7Z08 75X
3 Wood: Wilson Staff FG Tour M3 14.0, Aldila RIP Phenom 65S


Irons: Wilson Staff FG Tour 100 3-PW KBS Tour V Stiff


Wedges: Wilson Staff FG Tour TC 50, 54, 58


Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Golo 5 (Super Stroke 3.0)


Bag: Wilson Staff Nexus Carry Bag


So far I have loved every club that has a Wilson Staff logo on it. The Driver is deep off the sweet spot but definitely not the most forgiving with spin rates on mishits. I wish the new D200 wasn't so game improvement, but i might have to try it just to add forgiveness to by game. I haven't found a 3 wood that I like more than the M3. Usually the first thing I do after getting a new club is swap shafts, cut down, bend ect., but since i usually shank shots all over the course with 3 woods and this one I cut down on my shank numbers, I have left everything stock. I'm flirting with the idea of tipping it but nervous about throwing off the good ju-ju. The Tour 100's are probably above my skill level but I didn't know how long they would be around so I had to jump at the chance to get them. The wedges are good. Definitely a more firm feel than Vokey's and Cleveland's that I have previously used. I said I would never put a super stroke on my putter...and then one day it just happened...jury is still out. If you're looking for a great carry bag, get the nexus.

I couldn't help but share this diamond in the rough I picked up the other day...the best part is I only paid $25 for it!

Where is the 8802?

[The Dansome]

Nice setup and that bag is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

I L-O-V-E those irons!!!

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

Nice, nice bag.  Love those irons!!!   Been gaming the D200 driver this season - it's worth a try. Depending on your swing the stock start might be a little light, but it's definitely a solid club.  Just picked up a 13.5* M3 3 wood off eBay.  Tried it out yesterday for the first time - loved it on the range, but put a fairway in front of me and all of a sudden I got a little shaky.  Experimentation continues...

 

Keep us posted!

Interesting going from a heavy X stiff driver shaft to a lighter, less stiff 3w shaft. How is that working for you?

 

Nice bag, btw.

[Chris O.]

The 8802 is on its way I think. Limited supplies are slowing down making its way into my bag. But I finally got a groove with my putter and might not switch immediately. I have my old 3 wood shaft that I was going to throw into the new head but this has clicked. Weird I know.

[Chris O.]

Oh and by the way. Thanks everyone.

Looking at your signature I see you share my same thoughts on golf clubs...have you hit the Tour 100's? They are by far the best and pure feeling irons I've ever hit. I was nervous at first for mishits...I thought they would just hurt and sting my hands but they don't! Or at least not like I thought they would. I love love love them and hope more people will give Wilson Staff a chance. They make good stuff (the best irons by a long shot in my opinion). I just got my D200 driver in but I also just had a new ACL put in so I'm out of the game for a bit. But I was curious on your thoughts with the Vapor Pro?? I've only hit it on the simulator but it feels soooooo good!

Have hit the Tour 100's and absolutely loved them, but opted for the more forgiving V4's - and haven't regretted it.  V4's have a great feel and just enough forgiveness.  Been stroking the D200 and I like it a ton, but am still feeling warm and fuzzy about the Vapor Pro -- Nike really hit a home run with this one, IMO, even though it didn't fare well in our distance testing.  Love the feel of it and with the right shaft it's a distance machine.

I was surprised to see the Vapor numbers low in that test as well. When I get in the simulator they seem to be good for me. Especially the spin rate. I'm 99% sure I'm going to pull the trigger on the Vapor Pro. Still not sure what shaft I want to get in it. But with Wilson possibly realeasing their new driver this fall or spring I'm torn.

I'm very eager to see what the one's all about, too.  Streelman's been playing it - can't wait to see it!

[mbrodeur86]

I played a tourney today and hit some irons after the tourney. I just cannot find an iron that feels as good as my FG Tour V2's. I agree that Wilson Staff probably if not definitely have the most underrated irons on the market right now and I've swung just about every iron with a big name on it. Awesome set up!!!

[jbil8802]

Awesome bag. I'm a big fan of Wilson Staff now thanks to MGS even though I don't play any of their clubs.

[Kenny B]

Chris,

Welcome to MGS, if I didn't say so earlier. Nice bag! Love the Wilson Staff clubs, but none have made it into my bag yet.

 

I really liked playing in St. George and Mesquite area. Nice courses. Would like to go back sometime, except I won't be playing at Green Spring. The pro and course marshall are asses.

[mizuno_lover]

Lurve those irons mate and it even had me looking online for a cheap second hand set.  Don't think I really have the game for them though but am a believer in the work your way into a set like that and it can improve your ball striking.  Nice bag over all.

[Chris O.]

Yeah for how small of an area it is we have some great golf courses here in the area. I wish we had a little more diversity in courses though. Desert golf is fun but I want some trees!

[Chris O.]

So I have some updated pictures to post...however I am having issues getting them to upload. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some secret to it that I don't know about?

Christopher, my man!

 

There are presently more than one hundred Wilson 8802 putters on E-bay.

At the time I was on staff with them and that is just what the rep told me. Then I found a putter that probably won't be leaving my bag anytime soon and told him not to worry about it. 

[fozcycle]

Nice setup......One of my Golf Buddies games the M3 Driver, 3Wood & 3Hybrid......so i get towatch him shape his shots beautifully.

The M3 series did not get much Love from the press, but I have seen how it performs.......and they have one left in my pro shop at $120!

As for the irons, I really do not think there is a set of irons on the market that are badged as awesome as these.

[Chris O.]

So I'm pumped that the pictures finally uploaded so here is my updated bag...

 

 

I'm not quite done with the paint-fill on my putter and I swear I have OCD and I redo the green and grey like once a week...and I'm not sure what to do with the chrome circles. 

 

[Chris O.]

So I think I finally have my bag figured out for this season, for now....Here are the updated pics.

 

The Kylo Ren headcover was a must purchase when it came out...

 

This putter isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Can't emphasize how much I enjoy this wedge. I don't know if it's just a "new club, honeymoon stage" or it really is that good of a wedge, but I feel like I can get up and down from anywhere with this club right now. 

 

I'm going to be doing a full write up/review of these irons, but in short, they are awesome. A bit bigger than what I have played in the past but I just don't play as much as I have in the past and need the forgiveness.

 

I tried a few different shafts this winter and ended up going back to this one. I hit it yesterday and it just felt like coming home.

 

I haven't found anything that has out performed this head, and then I found this shaft on a good deal and it has only improved the situation.

 

Now that the tools are in place, the only thing that needs to arrive is my game, and I might be waiting a while for that.
