My grandfather passed away in 1987 and had been a huge golfer for most of his life. He had about 5 sets of clubs in his closet that me and my brothers used to pull out and play with all the time. Persimmon heads, wood shafts, and all sorts of others. He was the Dallas Country Club champion one year that I know of and played to about a 2 handicap. Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan were talked about a LOT! Heck, my grandfather even played in long sleeves, a tie and his fedora hat.
But I digress. While cleaning out my grandfather's warehouse in Dallas I came upon a set of clubs, still in the original box. Wilson Staff Dynapower irons with leather wrap grips. The grips had been eaten off by the rats and some of the irons had rusted a little, but I kept them. I sent them off to be rechromed, regripped them and have played them some. Hitting these old blade style clubs is a little different than my cavity backs, but I have shot my best round of 79 with them. I quit playing golf for abut 12 years and have just recently picked it back up. I've regripped these clubs again and after I get enough practice in will be playing them.
I've asked Wilson Sports for information about the clubs, but they were unable to help at this time. They don't keep records evidently, but I' guessing these irons were made in about 1968 or 1969.
I'd like to find out when they were made, what the lofts are, etc. and I was hoping someone on the green screen might have an idea. I have attached a picture off the internet of what the clubs look like.
Anyone have an idea of when they were made? Loft?
