The Pros:Better, more even weight distribution than previous FG generations. Excellent handling when hitting balls on difficult lies. Experienced players find it easy to control distance with these clubs, as compared to older Wilson models.

The Cons:Headsize is somewhat small and takes some adjustment to learn. Price is fairly high compared to older, similar Wilson models.

Wilson FG59 by PriceGrabber.com

The wide sole of the clubs helps to drop the center of gravity, thereby improving ground interaction. The hardness of the sole prevents skidding on harder fairways, while at the same time preventing dogging on softer fairways. The mild carbon steel thin top-line increases power and provides a comfortable, responsive feel. The minimal offset of the club heads helps you to control trajectory, which improves the clubs' overall workability.
