I REPLACED my FAVOURITE Golf Club FOR THIS?!!

[@mikehoffman7131]

I have to admit, I much prefer the on course / outside vlogs rather than the simulators. Keep up the great content Al. Hope the family is well

[@alexetchesgolf]

Thanks mate! Enjoying it out here too

[@VonTwinzig]

+1 on this. Already fully engaged. Keep up this new vibe, Alex, it’s refreshing.

[@nickhaslam3253]

And another. Really enjoying you being out and about

[@rufussthoo4083]

The Staff Model is hard to beat from a looks, sound and feel perspective. And the more predictable ball flight has to be a winner. You should try bending it to 15 degrees Al. Best of both worlds.

[@jasonmoran834]

I play the same 2 iron and honestly hitting the back of it swinging left handed, performs and even more so feels way better. The face feels junk. I play the staff CB Wilson irons too, they're amazing ..the two iron isnt

[@AnthonyDavid59]

I loved how you framed your "Intriguing" segment with trees. Intreeging.

[@boydgrandy5769]

If the advantage of the Wilson is the head and shaft setup, which makes it easier to get the desired and predictable results you want, then you can always tweak it to bend a little loft out of it and get back most of the yardage you lose from going to 18 degrees from (hack, cough...) 13 degrees, and still keep the high launch and forgiveness lacking in the Mizuno unguided missile launcher. My 5 wood is 18 degrees, fer jebus' sake. My driver is adjustable to 13 degrees. Your old utility iron is within range of my driver... We don't play the same game, do we?

[@pltyes21]

I play the wilson in 18 degrees and a stiff kbs shaft. My wife got it for me for christmas and i absolutely love it off the tee. Beautiful club👍

[@Hola4aMarshl]

The Wilson utility irons are absolute cheat sticks! Have the 18, 21 & 24. So easy to hit, great KBS stock shaft & super long - get 250 yards roll out with tbe 24 degree/4 iron!

[@craigsummerville8823]

What I like about my Cobra King Utility is that it’s adjustable from 18-21 degrees. It has the UST Mamiya SMACWrap Recoil ES 780 F4 Stiff shaft and is very comfortable to hit. As my game has evolved I’ve been able to change the angle to keep it in my bag. They are fairly easy to find used and aren’t expensive.

[@brianhenry5758]

I’ll through this in there. I bought a d9 forged 3 iron as a driving iron to go along with my staff cbs. It’s 19 degrees stock and since a single club is a custom purchase from Wilson you can bend it and pick shafts. Oh ya it was $150. Hard to beat.

[@oliver69cork46]

Have the wilson staff utility 15 degree-low stingers with roll out,250 yards. The 18 and 21 degree models too,more height and love them,no driver or hybrids used.

[@Pimento_Cheese]

Loving the new content Al, great to see. Enjoying the Euro stuff as much or more than the Aussie stuff.

[@alexetchesgolf]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it

[@jonnymcdowell662]

Al, love the video and actually have an HMB in the bag myself (also steel shaft) and was choosing between both these irons. Question though, can we buy that cap you're wearing?

[@Neocram666]

Have you tried the Cobra utilities there great plus adjustable

[@LADcoronary180]

It’s my 15th club in the bag😮

[@mikeb1149]

Wondering how you would get on with a 2 hybrid? Shaft choice could turn it into a mad bomber. Penetrating ball flight and decent roll out? 100g shaft maybe. Recall the boys at TXG testing one.

[@golf007sd2]

The Wilson Staff is all class. Glad you are putting it in the bag and moving on. Case close...fairways hit.

[@amalfi460]

Keep up the on course content…..I believe it will take your channel to the next level

[@GrumpyTy34er]

I used to nail my 3 wood shots but I just took it out and now have a 4ish wood. Next club is then a Heavenwood so 7ish so it all works out. Got an Apex Hybrid after that which hits like a dream (that I paid too much for given the condition).

[@brendababbage2252]

2:08 😆 I feel your pain Al... all too well lol Loving the videos!

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

I know the feeling i use an old mizuno tp19 bladed 1 iron as my fairway finder ive used a 1 iron since i was a junior but like you its very risk reward its a true butter knife but when hit it goes like its been shot out of a desert eagle ,arrow straight awesome ball flight im convinced it has a vapour trail behind it it goes that fast 😂 but by heck if im just a tad off it bites me in the nutsack pretty quick.

[@raginasianinvasion]

I’ve had a Staff Model Utility 2 iron in my bag for almost 2 years now and it’s my go to club, outperforms every new 2023 utility too. Just too darn good.

[@tolkas42]

Put a rogue st pro 3i in my bag to replace a hybrid and never looked back. about 240yds with a smooth swing, 260yds if i really step on it. all i ever need in that slot.

[@cameronloveless1751]

A bit scary to say considering how beautiful and wonderful Mizuno irons are, but I actually like the look of the Wilson more. An absolutely gorgeous design 😍

[@banditbaker1675]

Must admit that you had me as soon as I saw the Wilson Staff Badge, I've always been a sucker for a sexy number and Wilson Staff have always done it for me Big time❤❤ You might want to have a word with our mate Mr Fraser about a shaft that might lower that flight just a tad

[@leehopkins1258]

Course looks lovely fair play

[@chriskibby7846]

I’ve just noticed an old callaway in your bag. Is it the old Big Bertha 3 Wood and if it is I have the matching 5 Wood if you want me to send it to you? 👍🏻

[@vincentharper6761]

Could you adjust the loft of the Wilson, to maybe grab a little more distance?

[@DavidSwanson6576]

I have the KBS tour hybrid 105 x shaft in my P790 2 iron, I love it, but was very tempted by the Wilson Staff Model also as it looks better in my opinion! 👍🏻

[@jeremylonsdale3350]

The fact the u can yell "Wilsonnnn" like Tom Hanks after u hit it makes it the winner.

[@xXcharliegoonerXx]

I lovveeeee the Wilson Staff Model driving irons! I’d still be playing Wilson D7 Forged irons but they had a warranty issue and their customer service is doo doo in the UK 💔

[@goblenator9688]

When do we get the video on that old school Big Bertha that's in your bag?

[@Davidhunter-wb7tw]

I love mine, true fairway finder club thats staighter than the model blade 4 iron. Problem is that it almost makes my 3 wood obsolete!

[@metalheads-golf]

Ahhh, ... at least one uncontrollable club in the bag for the round surprises is always fun. For my that's my Hybrid 3, ... it has a will of it's own. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@jsmecky4257]

Great vlog. Did I hear Ryan little in the background. 👍🏼

[@ericjung4991]

Al in all his glory at 3:57 to 4:08 the duality of man and 2 iron 🤣🤣

[@kyshapka]

Isn't the X100 shaft on that HMB like 50g heavier?! That's going to make them feel quite different! Seems like you talked the HMB out of the bag from the beginning, but hey, I say go with it. Whatever helps the bombs!

[@samchisholm2088]

Would be interested to see how that Wilson compares to a Dynapower 4 iron.

[@kierangibbs39]

Try the 15° wilson staff model utility

[@oliver69cork46]

A great club but only limited sales-have one and when on the sweet spot,that ball moves long

[@adsy6819]

WILLLLSSSSOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! Great video mate, how’s it going not having a buggy?

[@jeremylewis1281]

But what's to say that putting the hmb back to specs,maybe even making it a degree strong wouldn't perform the way you want it to as well? The Wilson is a sexy iron though.

[@greyteo]

17 degree apex uw????

[@turbonerd3075]

Do you think the mizuno would perform better with a shaft change? It’s a mizuno, that’s the only reason it might be worth it but I really don’t know.

[@sydn53]

Definitely Wilson, & get a trolley (MGI?) 😊

[@chrisbee3557]

If you do you decide to swap the mizuno out please may I try it?

[@tatianamaria1]

Welcoming Wilson to the family of 14 ❤!

[@curtchaffee]

You hit that Wilson so well, Al. And your swing looked like you were using 4 iron. The Mizuno swing looked more like you were using a fairway wood. Could have been my imagination, or the drugs.

[@nigelcooke8590]

That Wilson iron is just filth… so much so I may go and try one myself.. 😂😂

[@styxiron]

you can bend the MP to 17 or 18, get rid of any offset and easier to play my 2cts

[@cdarrinford]

Is that a 1990's Callaway Warbird 3 wood in your bag????

[@keithfinley2939]

When driver carries 300+, you need a high launching 2nd shotter for the par 5s

[@CoryLancasterYT]

A Mizuno Fli Hi 2i would be the ticket!

[@billconnor7577]

Finding the fairway is never a bad thing....wish I could find a few more myself.....

[@Al_daygo]

Would love to see the Mizuno in a graphite shaft TBH, then make the call...

[@GNPit]

Why not the Callaway UW at 17 degrees or any 2 hybrid and loft it down to 15 degrees. Absolute weapons!

[@IAM_Reedy]

Hmm. I have a 2 and 3 driving iron and honestly I prefer the stability of my 3 wood. I’m not consistent with the driving irons. When hit it pure it’s an awesome feeling… like pretzels and mustard. However, 30% of the time it’s off and doesn’t appeal… like pretzels and mayonnaise. 🤮 At least my 3 wood gets me in the fairways… like pretzels and vanilla ice cream. 😊😂

[@jeffreylondongolf3448]

Uhmmm 7:57 loft makes a massive difference. Need HMB in same loft

[@IAM_Reedy]

As far as your current dilemma… that butter knife is just that. One trick pony that likes to bite and kick. The Staff on the other hand gets you in play, more often, with an achievable approach shot. Risk vs reward… I’ll take reward 99% of the time. The one shot I absolutely hate and try to avoid is the 60 yard approach from the trees with Brenda watching. I’d rather have the 100 yard gimme from the center.

[@mikewilliams1479]

That’s Wilson looks like pure goodness. Well it’s more reliable so why not put it in the bag??

[@michaelevans7611]

I guess Brenda’s going to miss you😂😂

[@alexetchesgolf]

She’ll still get it…I mean 😂

[@michaelevans7611]

@@alexetchesgolf 😂😂

[@jakes8475]

Why not bend the Mizuno back to a 2 iron

[@alexetchesgolf]

Offset would be awful

[@cwugrad396]

no brainer. wilson worthy of a spot in the bag

[@shaneducholke364]

Staff 💯

[@elijahbuffington]

Of all the stunning driving irons to come out the past year…….. you pick that one? Nothing against Wilson I’m sure it performs fine. But you already play cobra irons why not try the utility?

[@jeffreymiller2822]

So I would say the comparison is not a good one. If you wanted direct comparison, you would use Mizuno 2 iron (std loft) and WS 2 iron. Your Mizuno was built for something different than a standard 2.

[@alexetchesgolf]

But that’s literally what I just said 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@quadrapayunir]

Wilson!!!!!

[@uwrossl]

Srixon Utility iron...accept no substitutes

[@devastatn]

I'm sure you use to hit that Mizuno down the middle most of the time when you first got it. And I know it feels a hundred times better out of the middle than that, Wilson. But hey, change ain't always bad. It's almost time for those butt whoppins at the gym ain't it? Lol. ❤ 💯 👍

[@coegj]

Put the Wilson Staff in the bag, do as you are told young man.

[@BirdiesandBitcoin]

You have a kid now Alex. Your going to have tired eyes for the rest of your life 😂
