    WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID Review

    The WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID is basically an iron replacement which is designed to be fairly easy to hit and promotes greater distance. Wilson Staff created a cool hybrid, with awesome looks, basic adjustability options and, oh boy, a hot face, making the WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID a convincing candidate if you're looking for a long iron replacement. In terms of design, for all intents and purposes, the FG Tour 5 looks pretty generic, like a regular hybrid, relatively small and featuring a glossy black crown. But looks aren't everything, as the WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID sounds very nice upon ball impact, having the characteristics of a (small) fairway wood.

    Actually, this baby sounds just like your regular mid size hybrid, a sound I'm accustomed with, and I mean that in a good way. Don't expect this hybrid to sound and feel like a solid iron, no way, but that's not a bad thing in my book. The head of the club feels rock solid upon ball impact and offers good feedback for your hands. I bet that if you're that kind of golf player with a smooth and slow swing, you'll really like the feel of this club. If you're into more violent swings, you may feel the urge to swap the shaft for achieving better feel results. Performance wise, the WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID launches the ball relatively high in the air, and if you're looking for a long iron replacement that offers you soft landings on the green, this hybrid may prove to be the ideal candidate for your golf paraphernalia. In conclusion, I find the WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 HYBRID to be a solid option for players looking for a classic looking hybrid that launches the ball nicely and holds the green better, especially at 210 yards.
