Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 Irons Review

The Tech:

Designed for the Crossover player wanting forged feel and pure distance. Speed Sole technology creates a thin face-to-sole transition that expands the sweet spot lower in the face for faster ball speeds and distance in the long and mid irons.

Our verdict:

Where some better player irons have really clean, straight and simple edges the Wilson is much more curvy in appearance. There’s a decent sized cavity back so forgiveness and drop off in ball speed and carry distance were very consistent. We really liked the satin finish which gives a different appearance and eliminates glare and we felt pretty confident of hitting a good number of greens with the F5. Loft wise it’s 3-4deg weaker (which is a club different) than some on test so it put in solid performance to keep up on distance.     

Bottom line:

A blend of what both decent players and mid-handicappers really want in an iron. For us it sits right in the middle between a better player iron and a game improvement cavity back, which was just what Wilson had promised.
