1984 Wilson Staff Golf Club Specifications
- In 1984, Wilson staff released a set of X-31 tour blades that, though they seem dated now, set the standard for their time. They were made from forged steel and were even used by Ben Crenshaw to win the 1984 Masters Championship, which was just one of the over 60 major victories won with Wilson Staff irons, so far.
- The 1984 Wilson irons had extremely thin heads, low weighting distribution and no cavity back. This allowed the club to push through heavy grass while maintaining a square face at impact. They were ideal for working ball flight to the left or right and despite their minimal sweet spots could produce a large amount of force for increased spin and velocity. However, they were very unforgiving to even the smallest mis-hit.
- The standard shaft for all 1984 Wilson irons were True Temper strong flex steel. These allowed for a barrage of shot styles and would flex to respond to a variety of speeds. They could whip through the point of impact to produce velocity or recoil and slide when creating a delicate spinning shot. In fact, they were such a consistent golf shaft that they are still being manufactured today.
- The average grips for all Wilson clubs in the early 1980s were wrapped leather bindings that stretched and retracted with inclement weather. They were built more for comfort than the durability of today's rubber grips. The standard set came with 3-iron through pitching wedge, all lofted and sized to fit the specified iron, and custom wedges along with lower irons could be specially made.
