Wilson Staff Tour Blade Specs

• Wilson irons have been a popular choice among golfers since the early 20th century, and in the 1980s Wilson introduced a new line of clubs, the Wilson Tour Blade line. While the line has gone through many variations and modernization through the years, the Tours are still produced with their blade heads in the FG Tour set of irons.

Club Range

• A set of Tour irons consists of eight clubs. The lowest iron in the set is the 3-iron, and the set also includes all numbered irons down to the 9-iron, as well as a pitching wedge. If playing the Tour irons, you will wish to augment the set with additional wedges, such as a sand wedge.

Lofts

• The Tour irons cover a range of 26 degrees of loft. The steepest club face is the 3-iron at 21 degrees of loft, while the shallowest is the pitching wedge at 47 degrees of loft. The loft increases by 3 degrees per club from the 3-iron to the 4-iron, and the 4-iron to the 5-iron, then increases by 4 degrees for each additional increment in the clubs' numerical values.

Club Lie Angles

• Club lie angles vary to a smaller degree than loft angles, but they follow a similar pattern, with a higher degree angle as the club's numerical value goes up. The lowest degree of lie angle is the 3-iron, at 59.5 degrees above the ground, while the pitching wedge has a 64 degree lie angle, making it the most upright club in the bag.

Club Lengths

• The shallower the face of a golf club is the longer its shaft will be, and this remains true for the Tour line of clubs. The 3-iron features the longest standard length at 39.25 inches, with each club down the line .5 inches shorter, down to the 35.75-inch pitching wedge shaft. The lengths of the clubs can be altered after purchase to better match the owner, if desired.
