One of our testers grew up playing Wilson Staff muscleback irons, and he still gets misty-eyed talking about them. So he and other testers were eager to try the Pi7, the latest players’ club from a company with a storied history.

While the Pi7 appeals to low handicaps with a smaller blade and thinner topline, it shouldn’t be compared with its hard-to-hit predecessors. Underlying the clean
cosmetics at address are a perimeter-weighted cavity for forgiveness and a wider sole for playability.

“I can’t believe how high, soft and far I can hit these,” says the tester with Staff memories, an 8. “The forgiveness is a real help. The only drawback is that it is hard to work the ball, especially knockdowns.” 

MSRP: $799 (steel shafts); 4–SW
