Last week i went out a a single to a local course—not where i work. 2 young gus in their 20’s and a other guy about my age in a single cart. As i pulled up last it wasnt obvious to me he was with them. The young guys went ro tbe blues (6600) and teed off, and hit great driives if about 270. After they were done i asked Ken—if he was going to play the whites (6300) or Golds (5900) that were about 30 yards ahead. Be said “ah they make me play back here with them. I respect for their elders”. The. Proceeded to hit the prettiest draw down the right center and lamded 5 yards in front of both of them in the fairway. I felt embarrassed for my question. And said. “Hell, Id make you play thr blacks”. Lol. i hit from the gold on that hole and was 2 yards in front of Ken All three if them broke 40 for the front, they were very good players but more importantly very fun to play with All three very kind snd complimented my good shots...as few ss they were Ha HardcoreLooper, MattF, revkev and 6 others 9 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edingc Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Just getting up to speed on this thread. A great group of testers, for sure. I gamed the Wilson C300s last year, and besides a few QC issues with the medallions falling off, I really liked the clubs. I couldn't tell from the pictures on the Wilson site, do the longer irons have power holes on the top or is the forged all "normal" topline with just the power holes on the bottom? Absolutely love the brand recognition and history with Wilson, and they make some fabulous, but underrated clubs. Hope they have another winner on their hands here.

Will be able to give you a more definitive answer in a couple days but it doesn't appear to have 'power holes' on the topline, just on the sole.

Popular Post GregGarner Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 Alright! Let the games begin! Somehow, I managed to finish the workday without absconding to the driving range. But I did unbox these just as soon as they made it through the door. When I found out I was selected for this review, of course I then spent days reading every review, watching every YouTube video, and closely examining the specs. Unboxing them, however, revealed a profile more compact, more solid-looking than the images I had seen to date. I snapped a few side-by-sides with my Ping i210s, which I've always thought were a fairly compact Players Cavity. My Pings are not blades, of course, but my previous set of irons were Ping i5s and the i210s are much cleaner. But the Wilson's? Aesthetically they are definitely holding their own. Without seeing them side-by-side, I expected a wider sole and the shiny chrome exacerbates this effect, but they're not as wide as I thought they would be. Oh, and while this is probably not news to anyone else, I wasn't sure if the 'power holes' on the sole was actually a hole or not. (Really, my concern was whether or not I was going to have to dig dirt out of there... Spoiler: they're not holes.) However, as you can tell, the D7 soles are really comparable to my i210s. I think the i210s hide the sole width by having a thinner body where the D7 looks quite a bit beefier coming up the back of the iron. The hosel of the i210 is also a little longer, which I think makes it look thinner. I don't want to over-generalize, but the Ping looks like a Ping (especially in the pointier toe shape) and the D7 looks like a classic iron with some nods and winks to just how much tech is back there. I spent the most time this evening looking at the 3-irons side-by-side. I knew the D7s had just a little less offset than the Pings but I think the Pings' 'notch' in the slightly-longer hosel plus the shaping of the heel as it comes into the neck makes it look significantly different than the D7. The toplines are very similar, though I can see a little more of the backside on the D7 whereas the i210 has done a little better job with the 'butter knife' look. Side-by-side, I immediately think the D7 is a great extension of the shorter irons while still maintaining its own identity while the i210 is sorta like a stretched-out version of the shorter irons. And I can't place it, but the aesthetics alone make me think the D7 just has more punch. So now I've downloaded some baseline data from Arccos, swapped out my sensors, and hope to make it out to the course here in the next few days, weather and work permitting.

Unboxing them, however, revealed a profile more compact, more solid-looking than the images I had seen to date. I snapped a few side-by-sides with my Ping i210s, which I've always thought were a fairly compact Players Cavity. My Pings are not blades, of course, but my previous set of irons were Ping i5s and the i210s are much cleaner. But the Wilson's? Aesthetically they are definitely holding their own. Without seeing them side-by-side, I expected a wider sole and the shiny chrome exacerbates this effect, but they're not as wide as I thought they would be. Oh, and while this is probably not news to anyone else, I wasn't sure if the 'power holes' on the sole was actually a hole or not. (Really, my concern was whether or not I was going to have to dig dirt out of there... Spoiler: they're not holes.) However, as you can tell, the D7 soles are really comparable to my i210s. I think the i210s hide the sole width by having a thinner body where the D7 looks quite a bit beefier coming up the back of the iron. The hosel of the i210 is also a little longer, which I think makes it look thinner. I don't want to over-generalize, but the Ping looks like a Ping (especially in the pointier toe shape) and the D7 looks like a classic iron with some nods and winks to just how much tech is back there. I spent the most time this evening looking at the 3-irons side-by-side. I knew the D7s had just a little less offset than the Pings but I think the Pings' 'notch' in the slightly-longer hosel plus the shaping of the heel as it comes into the neck makes it look significantly different than the D7. The toplines are very similar, though I can see a little more of the backside on the D7 whereas the i210 has done a little better job with the 'butter knife' look. Side-by-side, I immediately think the D7 is a great extension of the shorter irons while still maintaining its own identity while the i210 is sorta like a stretched-out version of the shorter irons. And I can't place it, but the aesthetics alone make me think the D7 just has more punch. So now I've downloaded some baseline data from Arccos, swapped out my sensors, and hope to make it out to the course here in the next few days, weather and work permitting. Great call on the early comparison! This just settled the thought in my mind that chrome/mirror finish is one of the things that just belongs on irons MattF, fixyurdivot, GregGarner and 2 others 5 Quote Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer Dynapwr Carbon | Hzrdus Smoke Black Mavrik 3w | Evenflow Riptide FG Tour F5 Hybrid(20,23) | MCA Fubuki Staff Model CB 5-PW | DG 120 Vokey SM7 (50, 54, 58) | DG 120 Studio Stock 15 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HardcoreLooper Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 I could hardly sleep last night when I saw the tracking notification in my email and it told me that the Wilsons would be arriving today. Kudos to Wilson for shipping Next Day Air to us. They didn't have to do that, but they did. The room I use as my office is right next to the front door. I can lean back in my chair and watch UPS leave items on my porch. I don't know how I managed to get through the day, but I did. Full disclosure: I turned my camera off, muted my phone and tore into the box as soon as I could. The clubs were really packed nicely. It's the little things that make a big difference, and Wilson is getting the little things right. I don't know why, but I always appreciate it when the manufacturer sends you your specs back, especially when they do it so nicely. Many thanks to Ed and all the folks at Wilson for doing such great work and doing it so quickly. Sexy? You tell me. Arccos is installed and ready to go. The F8's are unpaired and the D7's are paired. Pretty sexy in the bag as well. I didn't know if I'd be bothered by the POWER HOLES, but they're easy to overlook. A post-work trip to the range was thwarted; I had to play 7th grade math teacher. But we're all set now and I should be able to take today's last call from the car, so I'm hoping to be on the first tee by 5pm tomorrow.

(I mean, I don't know why you'd need more power on a gap wedge, but I would've thought the same for the PW, which does have them.) Yeah, I was planning on digging into that a little. I believe that the power holes are there to allow the face to flex a bit more, and I'm wondering why Wilson decided that the gap wedge didn't need the extra face flex.

Popular Post Thin2win Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 After watching the UPS truck drive circles around my house for 4 hours yesterday my new set of Wilson D7 Forged irons arrived! Sadly, they didn't get in until the rain came and the light faded. But it gave me time to inspect them and get ShotScope tags installed and ready for today.
