43 is basically a size too big. I'm like a 42.

Keeping the Wilson streak alive. Picked these up for $1 each.

 

 

ANNOUNCEMENT------- All Wilson gurus--- I think we have the makings of another Wilsoneastner on our hands---- Which is cool by me at least you saved them from destruction

 

LoL, well. Look what I just picked up this morning. FG-17 with Regular shafts 3-9, Tour Blade 7 Iron, Hogan Directors Legend 4 shafts (4,5,7,8,9,E). The streak is real...

 

 

 

What shaft is in that WS Tour Blade 7 iron?

I am pretty sure it’s stiff because of what I found it with. I just realized it’s missing the band though so I can’t be sure. How can I tell?

If it's a bore through, look at the color of the plug in the bottom of the shaft.

 

You can also compare the step pattern to shafts you know.

It must be a TT Dynamic Stiff. The step pattern is exactly the same.

Cleaned up those Z101s

 

 

 

 

 

 

[oldschoolrocker]

Very nice indeed. They make a very nice feeling club for sure.

[Fellaheen51]

Those Tour Stage Z101 irons should be fabulous players. An absolutely stellar score. JDM, Endo forged. A worthy set to seek out and find a matching 7 iron to complete the set. A 'classic' example of a high quality CB iron.

[doctordwaynewilliams]

Anyone know about these?

[TimV]

I believe the irons are cast but very playable. Those Citation laminates are good playing clubs.

1980-84

[doctordwaynewilliams]

Anyone play with them? I haven't used them yet.

My main driver this year for Vintage is a PB Citation very similar to yours. It has been straight and long for me. So far so good. I try out other ones, but it finds it's way back into the bag. So I like them a lot!

[Joe85]

Pro Combo 18*. Preferred driving iron of only God and Brooks Koepka. $4.99. Looks like it was hit 3 times.

 

[dcopp7]

I think that looks like frequent use.

[Joe85]

In hand it looks like it hasn't been used more than a round.

A steal at that price. Very Nice!

The second one I got out of Goodwill. I got another one years ago - can't recall if it was an 18* or 20* but I did at one point have another one.

Wilson didn't use different color Fluid Feel plugs for different shaft flexes.

 

They had a colored band beneath the last step. Black for regular. Red for stiff. But after 1961 the plugs were always red unless it was a special order item.

 

The Limited Edition remake of the 1965 Staff irons that Edwin Watts sold in the mid 1980s used a black plug.

 

The Walter Hagen irons usually had the black plugs.

True this. My '61 Dyna-Powereds have black plugs.

Learn something new every day, I thought they continued the trend longer.

Of course, the current FG100s use a black plug. To me, those are a new set of irons with an old name on them. The look of them at address doesn't remind me of a Wilson Staff iron in any way. The Staff irons, through all their many versions, had a similar look at address from model to model even if the back design or sole width changed. That look was completely abandoned with the FG100s.

Thanks for the info!

 

Those woods are great! I played them for years. I can honestly say I've never hit a better wooden golf club, regardless of brand, regardless of laminated or persimmon.

 

One thing that I believe made them playable was that the fairways had one degree more loft than what was standard at the time. 17/20/23 for the 3/4/5 respectively. I rarely carried the 3 wood because the 4 wood was such a high percentage performer.

 

Sometime back in the mid 1980s, a chain in the area in which I was living at the time made a large "special purchase" of Citation laminated woods. Taylor Made and the like had gone through their first run or two of metal woods and a lot of guys were looking to make the switch back to wood. That chain quickly sold every set of those they had and those woods stayed in players' bags for years.

I would echo that. Nothing looks as good as a nice persimmon block, but 2 laminated clubs, a Hogan Radial driver and a Wilson Tour Block 4 wood, are amongst the standout clubs in terms of feel and performance, that I remember hitting. The Hogan driver was I think 11.5*, and I carried the 4 wood instead of a 3 and it was a totally reliable safety club off the tee and off the deck.

I have a laminate PB Citation 7 wood that hits nicely

[doctordwaynewilliams]

I keep hearing that about the woods. No one has really commented about the irons though.
