The new Ci7 iron draws its inspiration from the award-winning Ci6, and improves upon it. It combines a tour-driven, mid-size shape with a greater level of forgiveness for maximum playability. A great iron for the player that requires slightly more forgiveness.
Features:
Undercut cavity for greater head stability
Elastomeric coating in the back cavity reduces vibration
Central notch accentuates heel-toe perimeter weighting for increased MOI
Soft, durable stainless steel heads
Thin face delivers maximum power
Advanced weight distribution creates high MOI and maximum forgiveness

Great underated irons!

Pros: Good feel, forgiving, affordable, workable and not to clunky. Actually not bad to look at.
Cons: None!
Rating: I bought these irons to replace my forged Bridgestone J33 CB. I needed a little more forgiveness, but was worried to go from forged to cast. I don't regret switching at all!! The feel is actually quite good, I can tell where on the face I hit the ball. It's not the softness of Bridgestone forged, but once you get over it, these irons are very rewarding.
I bought them for a backup set, they won top spot in the main bag.

Pros: Price. Looks. Feel. Performance.
Did I mention price?
Cons: People say "You kicked my butt with Wilsons??" (Maybe that should be a pro, not acon
Rating: I bought these slightly used off Ebay for $130.
Wait did he say $130?
Yes. $130. I've paid more for meals.
They were supposed to be my guest set for when out of towners come and want to play a round without lugging clubs.
I took these clubs out to demo them and couldn't believe the performance of the Ci7's. Long story short, my Callaway X20 tours are now the backup set.
Pros: Strong and solid. Forgiving but workable. Beats the best.
Cons: None.
Rating: Head to head with the major brands, Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, the Wilson Ci7 irons perform as well or better as their 'game improvement' counterparts from the other OEMs. At address, the thin topline and minimal offset give the look and feel of a player's iron, while the deep cavity and perimeter weighting offer forgiveness and power. They are some of the easiest to hit long irons, especially off the tee. Great, mid/high trajectory through the set, thanks to the flighted TX-105 shafts. The GW is added to cover the strong lofts, but the GW is one of the best clubs in the set - it's my goto club to attack flags at 110-120 yards. The whole set has a unique balance and feel. You can sense the clubhead easily through out the swing. Off center hits are generally straight enough and playable. You get a noticeable amount of feedback from the clubs on mishits as well, letting you know where you struck it.
For the price, easily had around 300$ new - these are complete winners. I would recommend them for handicaps 7-18 easy, and perhaps more than that.
Great Price, Good Looks, Love the Ball Flight, Good Shafts
Cons:
None that really matter

I'm about a 4-5 handicap, not scratch but pretty decent, and after 12 years with my Ping Eye 2 irons, it was time to get them replaced (grooves were pretty worn down). Anyway, when I started looking at the various new models and the prices, I just about died. Now, I'm kinda frugal, but I don't mind spending a little on my golf equipment, so I thought I would bite the bullet and shell out the 500-600 bucks for a good set. So, I online-researched and then played 27 to 36 holes each with AP1, X-22, R-9, Adams A-7, and of course Ping G-15. If I was gonna spend the money I wanted this test to be thorough.
After this extensive tryout, and all sets were very close in overall performance, I thought I liked and had settled on the Titleist AP1's. But before I could buy them, a golfing friend told me to do myself a favor and try out his Wilson CI-7's. So I gave them an 18 hole tryout and was absolutely won over by these clubs. They performed every bit as good and in some respects better than the bigger money clubs.
To start with I really like the look of these clubs, and I'm really not a big aesthetics guy. Secondly, the clubheads and shafts are really consistant with the yardages, each and every club from 5 iron to gap wedge is right at 8-10 yards apart from club to club. But my favorite trait to these clubs is the ball flight. It's a little lower, a more boring trajectory. The lofts are a bit stronger than my old Pings and the other sets I tried, and because of this the trajectories are naturally a bit lower, but the spin on the ball and bite on the greens is fantastic. If I hit it square, the ball rarely goes more than 8 feet or so from the ball mark, and the pitching and gap wedges, I can spin back just a little. Once I got used to the yardages (they're about 5 yrds longer than my Pings) it was like throwing darts at the greens. Another aspect I like, with the lower, boring ball flight, a stiff breeze has almost no effect on the ball. These clubs are also pretty well workable for a game improving club too. While I don't try to curve the ball very often, if I need to I can make it curl in either direction. This was rather hard to do with my old Pings.
The one little drawback, and it's a common trait to the cast clubs, is the slightly hard feel on off center hits, but I really don't mind as it lets me know right where I caught the ball on the club face.
So after looking around for the best price, I ended up buying my set on ebay. Got the 4 thru SW shipped for $219. Less than half of what I would have paid for the Titleist's or other sets, and they play every bit as good as any of the other sets I tried.
Sorry to be long winded on this review, I guess the moral of this story is not to overlook the less popular name, or less expensive brand of golf equipment. I'm happy to be playing a bit better and paying less to do it.
He hits them great, loves them. Price was unbeatable
Cons:
Couldn't find a steel left handed so I didn't get a set for me
Rating:
I paid 175.00 for them brand new on Rock Bottom and he loves them. After watching him play with them for 3 weeks, I went out and bought the Pi7s. Wilson may be best kept secret in golf. No need to spend big money.
Pros: Great feel, consistent even on off center hits
Cons: Brand image, if that matters to you

These are wonderful irons. I tried TM R9s, Pings, and Bridgestone Tourstage, and had to go with these due to the feel and appearance. They have a slightly heavier swing weight than some clubs, which I like, and a great feeling on good hits. Off center hits are easily felt, but not overly harsh. Some folks have commented that the wedges are bulky, but honestly I'm having a great time with the PW, GW, and SW. Cosmetically, these clubs are just what I was looking for- not too gaudy like other new designs, classy looking in my opinion. Anyone looking for a nice feeling, good looking, confidence building set of irons, you can't go wrong with these. Best golf investment I've made yet.
