Deep Red II Irons.

[colourblindchameleon]

Has anyone used/owned a set of Wilson Deep Red II irons? Recently I invested in a used set having previously owned a set of standard Wilson Fatshafts. The Fatshafts were good, but they would sometimes jar on impact even off well struck shots.

The newer (2004) Deep Red II`s were/are supposed to have a softer strike. Having recently used them, they do indeed definitely feel softer and even allowing for the `jacked` lofts they do hit the ball a long way, and accurately too!

The only complaint I have is that by jacking the lofts the distance between the PW and S`Wedge is quite large. I didn`t realise they made a gap wedge for the set to counter this problem, and the local stockist laughed when I enquired about buying the missing club. He said they no longer make the matching gap wedge despite the fact that the irons are only 3 years old! Whereas I never had trouble ordering individual Ping irons before.

So if anyone knows where I could source a Wilson Deep Red II gap wedge (regular steel shaft) then I`d be grateful. Because despite their modest price, I think I might be happy with these irons for some time to come, and I`m curious as to anyone else`s experience of using these irons!

I used the Fat Shaft II set for a while and liked them quite a bit. I haven't played anything else by Wilson though as of then. Just like my current set too much to bother!

As for the gap wedge... check ebay. You'll have a very good chance at finding something. I'd check for you but I'm in the middle of something

(so why am I on a golf message board in the first place!)

If they work, stick with them. Good luck!
