Wilson Irons Over the Last 5 Years

Recently, Wilson has made some real technological advancements in the last five years in their game improvement irons, and has held true to their pure players options as well. 2022 saw game improvement options with the D9 and D9 Forged, and a super game improvement with an upgraded Launch Pad set.

Wilson D9 Forged Iron

In 2021 Wilson released new and improved players options with the Staff Model Blades and Cavity Back. Both of which carry improvements for the modern age, and offer tour preferred feel, look, and shot shape. Staff Model Blades are the preferred irons for top tour professional Gary Woodland.

2018 to 2020 showed progressive releases of irons for all types of golfers. The original and revolutionary “super game improvement” Launch Pad irons were released in 2020, with much praise for the target market. Easy to swing, and even easier to make solid contact.

The Staff FG Tour V6, released in 2018, was a highly polished chrome set with a players iron look packed with technology. Tungsten, used for forgiveness and distance, makes it the perfect “players distance” iron.


Are Wilson and Wilson Staff the same thing?

Wilson (Golf) and Wilson Staff operate under the same umbrella of Wilson Sporting Goods; however, they are vastly different in many ways. Wilson Golf/Ultra are beginner box sets that are easy to hit, low cost, and come with everything you need. Which includes everything down to the bag and even headcovers.

Theses sets are actually some of the best women’s starter golf clubs. And they even have complete sets of women’s golf clubs as well.

Wilson Staff is Wilson’s “tour preferred” brand. Customizable irons and woods, premium price point, and performance to back it up. It offers some of the best irons on the market, but is still trying to shake the “Wilson makes cheap box sets” stigma.

Wilson Irons History

Wilson irons have the most storied history in golf. They’ve contributed to more major victories (62) than any other equipment manufacturer. This gives them a very solid argument about being the best of all time. In fact, for the last 100 years, Wilson has won a major in each decade, proving their longevity.

They started making clubs in 1914, but Gene Sarazen really thrust them into the spotlight in the 1930s. Gene remained a Wilson staff member for over 75 years, which is the longest running sports contract in history. Using the Ogg-mented irons, Gene won seven major championships.

Wilson Pinehurst Iron

(1930 Wilson Pinehurst Iron)

Throughout 1940-1980, Wilson irons were in the bag, and often named after, some of the best to ever play the game. Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Patty Berg, Walter Hagen, and Ben Crenshaw helped turn Wilson irons into an icon, and the “Cadillac of golf clubs.”

How Often Does Wilson Release New Irons

Wilson has released irons sporadically over the years; however, these launches typically occurred only when significant improvements were made. Sadly, after suffering a major drop in market share, and being branded as “clubs your grandfather used,” Wilson rebranded in 2006 to get back to their premium roots.

Since 2009, Wilson has released at least one new set of irons each year and sometimes introducing multiple sets. Additionally, with new investments in research and development following their 2006 rebranding, Wilson Staff has made consistent improvements to their irons, ultimately creating some of the purest options available on the market today.

    Hi,
    I’m trying to find information, release date, rarity, value, etc. For a set of Wilson Olympiad Mild Forged irons and woods. They have wooden shafts and old leather wrap grips. The spoon and brassie day ‘Related 4150 Model’ on the sole plate.

      It looks like there is an old set of Wilson Walker Cups that was released in the early 1930’s. But I have seen some newer looking one’s on ebay that don’t have the year. I’d say maybe 1970’s? There’s just not a lot of information available unfortunately.

      That’s actually a hard piece of data to find. They did start in 1966, but it seems they were a starter set sold at hardware stores (that’s where sports equipment was sold back then) and JC Penny throughout the 60’s and 70’s. I researched it for quite a while, but I can’t find an exact date. Sorry man.

    Good day

    I have a set of Wilson Pinehurst blades (not the 1930’s) which is impossible to get info on. I can’t even find a Google image and Wilson USA have no Idea what they are (they think it’s forged or fake blades) but I have seen 2 other sets for sale one on ebay and one on Facebook that looks the same. They look identical to the 1984 Hale Irwin blades but on the blade where Hale Irwin Stands it’s written PINEHURST. Any info or help would be appreciated.

      Sorry, but they seem like counterfeits to me. Obviously they aren’t the original Pinehursts. If they look identical to the Hale Irwin blades, they likely are copies someone made several sets of, and then just slapped “Wilson” or “Pinehurst” to fool potential buyers… that’s my 2 cents haha

      So I did find that they released the Staff Goose Neck in 1988, and I added that to the list. BUT, the Top-Notch Goose Neck 4135 seems like a much older set. I found some on ebay and from the look and shape of the club heads, I would guess it’s probably from the 1950’s or 1960’s. The shape seems pretty old school, but newer than the Pinehurst, but not as new as modern shapes from the 70’s and up.

      I’m assuming they are the Pi5 Performance irons from 2005. My honest opinion is that newer clubs have SO MUCH more forgiveness than anything from 15-20 years ago. I think you should go with a newer starter set like the Profile SGi (it’s in my list in 2019 on this page). Hope that helps man!

    As a dyed in the wool Wilson Staff aficionado, it was fun going thru all the different models of irons down thru the years. Got my first set of Dynapowers in HS in 1965. Still have them. I used them today. As someone who has enjoyed the game for 65 years, I’m 77, I have surrendered to the fact that I’m not going to get back to the level I played at 50 years ago. I am at peace with this. Along with this understanding I’ve gotten the desire to go back to where it all began for me. Hence the 65 Staffs. I play no worse with those small heads (7 hndcp) than I do with the game improvement irons I have. Plus I love the chrome! Anyway my question concerns the difference between the FG17, the FG51, the FG59 and the FG62. Are they all basically the same model? Cosmetically they appear to be. I know that this is asking a lot. Thanks for letting me reminisce.

      Wow, you’ve almost been with Wilson since the very beginning haha! Being in my 60’s now, I can definitely relate to the “I’ll never be as good as I once was (sigh)” statement… but you’re right, you just have to accept it and enjoy the game and enjoy still being able to get out there! To answer your question, honestly you would probably know better than me for those specifics. Unfortunately there just isn’t well kept information on the exact intricacies of all the models it seems. I would assume the newer models improve on forgiveness slightly by each year, as that tends to be the trend. Hope that helps! Cheers!

    Hi, Ned. I purchased a set of 1967-68 Dynapower irons 2 thru 9 new in 1967. I believe they are very rare because they are left handed. I have never seen even a photograph of another set. A Wilson rep told me about forty years ago that they didn’t make any. But I still have mine. It took over six months for them to arrive when I ordered them. Is there any way of determining how many left handed sets were produced in 1967? Thank you.

      Jul 27, 2023

      Wow, I doubt they have records of that… and if they did, they probably wouldn’t release that information. You could email Wilson and ask, you never know. As far as them being rare, it sounds like maybe they custom made them for you? That’s why it took 6 months. SO, they probably didn’t make very many. You might have the only ones haha.

      Hey Blue… honestly, I would say the clubs are probably only worth $15 or $20 each. That’s what they are going for on ebay currently. IF they are in pristine condition, and you found the right buyer (like a collector), you may get more.

        Thanks Erik! Now that I’m cleaning them up, I see there’s a set of cane-shaft TruShot Wilson’s plus some miscellaneous others. One is a Pinehurst just like the one pictured on your site from 1930, with a dark wood shaft (persimmon?). Another has LW in script plus “Hagen Triangle” and “Stabrite” on it. One says “Spade Mashie” on it. I’ll try to send pix. These seem older than the TruShots. Anything interesting about these?
        Also, what’s the best rust cleaner for clubs? Was gonna use naval jelly but it says not to use on chrome so…..?
        And… I see you’re in Scottsdale. I’m in Sedona. If you know a collector who might be interested, I can bring ‘em down!

          Blue, I saw the pictures you sent, interesting find! Yeah I’d say they are all in the 1930’s line up for sure. For the rust, I’d recommend warm water and soap (maybe soak for 5 mins) and a soft brush like a toothbrush. Wipe them down with a rag as well. Beyond that, WD40 can help, but be careful since they are almost 100 years old! And sorry, I don’t know anyone who would be that interested in them, I’ll let you know if I come across someone. Thanks!

Since I cannot find any info about them. I’ve bought the whole set for 125 euros, including bag and cart. You can see a few pictures here (and I’ve got more pictures, just don’t see a way how to upload those here).

      Hi Jordy, you bagged some classics there. The Wilson CG1200s were pretty popular back in the day and a lot of golfers learned off this style of technology. They are known for their forgiveness, with the cavity back that they have, and should work just fine for you if you’re relatively new to the game. Certainly not a new technology, but a style that has stuck around for quite some time. Let me know if you have more specific questions or let me know how you like them once you get the chance!
