My only gripe with my 588's was the stick shaft, which I think was a little on the light side, 85g ?
The set I linked has a shaft upgrade ?

It’s nice to see if I’m honest. I can remember thinking to myself “ my shoes are worth more than this guys complete set up yet he’s no doubt forgotten more than I’ll ever learn “
He’s creativity with shots was immense

Yeah that shaft was a bit marmite. I actually had nippons in mine, but did pick up the gap wedge later in the stock and found it fine - maybe because a short shaft.
Sorry OP, drifting off topic ?

Don't do it. I sold my G15's for shiny new clubs and have regretted it ever since. I'm a high handicaper, still am, play for fun (sometimes) and I've realised that my G15's were perfect. Spend your money on playing a few decent course's, new shoes/bag etc.

I added the Wilson Staff D7 iron into the bag in august after being fitted by our pro!
Overall summery - lovely bit of kit. No worse than my mates brand new pings in my opinion, fully fitted, fraction of the cost. Look great in the bag and feel quality. Sweet spot strikes just fly.
I however, am not seeing all the benefits of "strong lofts". Distances seem to have remained similar to with my old irons. Ive read others saying that they've seen 10+ yards additional to their 7 iron but not sure how true that is!

Serious question Doon, did they make anything other than putters and chippers?Bronty........one for the oldies.
I had a Bronty putter in the seventies but I cannot recall ever seeing any irons by them.

Exactly this.
I came back to golf a couple years ago. And got some new irons.
Now I'm playing some old blades from the loft.
But, what was an eye opener, is that last year some old work acquaintance ( late sixties)also came back to the game at my club. I played a round with him.
I had my new clubs. But I couldn't believe what he had. They were ancient, scruffy in an old bag.
His driver was almost persimmon size head. It was metal but really small and he teed it up just a bit.
A year later he is off 7. Still using the same clubs!
Makes you sick, doesn't it??
He was a good golfer in his youth, and with practice, he got it back.

I bought some Cobra Amp (the orange ones). Decent irons but imo not as easy/as good as the G15'S. The G range suits a higher handicapper in my experience. I could be totally wrong. Played a round with a mates G25's and again very easy to play with.

I always liked my Wilson’s. Their mid handicap (c range) were better weighted for me. The key is to get properly fitted for them. My last set were too long from American golf.
