Wilson Profile SGI Review: We Tested A Mens Complete Set 

For some time the Wilson Profile SGI Complete was on our list of clubs to try since it is advertised as one of the top beginner sets on the market. 

We were glad to see that Wilson created the Wilson Profile SGI Complete for not only men, but also offers sets specifically designed for seniors, teens, kids, and women. All sets are available for both right and left handed golfers.

This video Wilson | Profile Bags from Wilson offers a good overview of the Wilson Profile SGI Complete sets

Before I start my review for the Wilson Profile SGI Complete mens set, I want to mention just some of the design considerations that went into the Wilson Profile SGI sets for seniors, women, teens, and kids.

The Senior Profile SGI Complete Set has been designed specifically for the older player. The entire set features a senior flex graphite shaft and a soft, larger diameter grip. The model is a cart design and includes a driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge, putter, plus three head covers.

The Women’s Profile SGI Complete Set was designed to account for typical differences in body structure and strength between men and women. The design of the shaft flex, club length, grip size and swing weight took these differences into consideration when developing the womens’ Profile SGI clubs. 

Included in the set are Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, stainless steel Irons 6/7/8/9, Pitching Wedge and an Easy Launch™ Sand Wedge, plus a Putter. You have a choice between a cart bag or stand bag.

Beginners have 9 clubs (no sand wedge) and 3 head covers with a bag. Beginner/ intermediate player has 10 clubs which includes a sand wedge along with the pitching wedge.

These clubs are designed to be very forgiving and easy to hit for newer women golfers or those players with slower swing speeds.

The basic Teen Profile Xd Complete Set has a Air Flow shoulder straps carry bag with a driver (1-wood) and a 5-wood, both with graphite shafts, a 5-hybrid with a steel shaft, a set of steel #6,7, 8, 9 irons, a pitching wedge, sand wedge, and a putter. Three head covers are also included.

The Wilson Kids Profile JGI Complete Set with a carry bag, features a number of junior size options. The smallest size set for young golfers (40″ – 50″ in height) comes with just four clubs. More clubs are added as your junior golfers grows. The most number of clubs in the set will reach 9 for junior golfers whose height is between 56” – 63”  There are 5 color options to choose from if you are right handed. For lefties there are fewer colors available

Wilson Profile SGI Complete Features and Benefits

The Wilson Profile SGI is a standard beginner or occasional golfers type golf complete set. It features a total of 10 golf clubs.

The set also features an easy to carry stand bag with adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps to help balance the weight while walking the links and three head covers for the driver, fairway wood, and hybrid. 

Driver

Lightweight performance is key to the Wilson Profile SGI Complete set.

Wilson designed a lightweight set of club to help beginners and less accomplished players hit the ball farther. The large sweet spot face should result in a stronger loft for greater distance.

The forged Titanium composite driver is a 460cc, currently the USGA maximum for a driver. 

A built in super game improvement (SGI) technology helps golfers who slice or struggle to get their shots up in the air. 

Fairway Woods and Hybrid

The set features a 5 wood and a 5 hybrid. Each of these are built with forgiveness in mind. 

The jump off the clubface will not be like that found with a Callaway Rogue or a TaylorMade Stealth woods. However, the fairway woods and hybrids for the mens’ Wilson Profile SGI set are built for consistency and fair performance. 

You should have no trouble using the 5 hybrid from the rough. It is a good set combination for those that find long irons difficult to hit well. 

This is only a 10-club set, so you have room in your bag for more clubs such as an additional fairway wood or hybrid. 

Irons

The irons include 6, 7, 8, 9. These are deep perimeter weighted 431 stainless steel irons. 

This a set of irons is built for ultimate forgiveness with their very low center of gravity which helps to promote improved accuracy and distance. 

In addition, the lower center of gravity increases the total launch. Hitting the ball up higher makes it easier to stop the shot on the green improving overall scoring capability on the course. 

Wedges

There are two wedges in the Wilson Profile SGI. One is a pitching wedge, the other is a sand wedge. 

Many beginner sets offer only one wedge, so this is a a nice perk for the mens set. 

The pitching wedge is relatively standard, built to look a bit more like the irons. The easy launch sand wedge is a clean looking blade style wedge featuring very low weighting with a wide sole for better control and improved shot making on the green.

The design of the sand wedge has better looks and overall workability compared to the pitching wedge. However, it is good to have both wedges in the bag. 

Golfers can always add an additional lob wedge to the set for some added performance in their short game. 

Putter

The putter is a heel toe weighted blade style putter with a soft alignment grip. Wilson describes it as providing superior feedback, feel and accuracy.

But this is a typical standard blade putter with a soft grip and an accurate overall design. It may be one of the first clubs you decide to replace in the set. 

Carrying Bag 

In addition to all of the golf clubs included in the set, Wilson provides a lightweight carry bag with Airflow adjustable shoulder straps has a self-activating stand.

The unique ergonomic design with double Airflow adjustable shoulder straps increases on-course comfort and lessens fatigue while allowing you to carry the bag on your back without becoming terribly sweaty. Although the carry bag is lightweight, it has enough room for your golf gear to be properly organized with its numerous pockets. 

Wilson Profile SGI Complete – Review and test

Now that we have some of the details out of the way let’s look at how this golf club set performs on the course. 

Distance

Most people talk about how forgiveness is so crucial for the beginner golfer, and it is. 

However, distance is just as important. Who really wants to stick with the game of golf jf you can’t get the hit the ball a decent distance? 

Overall the distance capabilities of the Wilson Profile SGI are good. They won’t be the best on the market, but for the price of the set these clubs can send your ball a good distance. 

The driver is a 460cc club head making it easier to hit in the center of the clubface and get some good length on you ball. Since most of the clubs are lightweight, they help players to increase clubhead speed. 

When compared to other premium golf clubs is the material that is used in the Wilson Profile SGI Complete club head.

The Wilson Profile SGI lacks the premium materials with thin club faces that act almost like a trampoline found in more expensive clubs. 

Forgiveness

The Wilson Profile SGI Complete is a forgiving set of golf clubs. These are not designed for better players who are looking for premium performance and feel.

Instead, expect this to be a forgiving set that allows for higher launch and a golf ball that can stop around the greens. 

Wilson did a good job putting this set together, as they didn’t include too many long irons. 

The 5 wood was a better choice over the 3 wood as it has a little extra loft and an increased ability to hit great shots from the fairway or the rough. 

For those seeking forgiveness, the 5 hybrids will likely become one of your favorite clubs in the bag. 

Customization

Customization helps the Wilson Profile SGI stand out from other options on the market. The set has 13 total options that you can choose from with various lengths, lofts, flexes, and grip sizes to better fit beginner golfers..

Of course, this does not include actual customization of each of the clubs to the preferred lie angle or individual grip selection. However, it does include shaft or length selection. 

Many of the individual sets are available in a tall version with height: 73 to 77 inches / 6’1” to 6’5” / 185 to 196 cm and fingertip to ground measurement: 30.5 to 32.25 inches / 77 to 82 cm or standard version with height: 65 to 73 inches / 5’5” to 6’1” / 165 to 185 cm, and Fingertip to ground measurement: 26.5 to 30.5 inches / 67 to 77 cm.

The key here is that you can pay for an inexpensive beginner golf set price, but end up with a set of golf clubs that is more customized for your game than many other inexpensive golf sets.  

Feel 

Feel is where you notice the difference between a premium set of golf clubs and a much less expensive beginner set.  Feel in golf clubs comes down to premium technology and materials that help to improve the overall experience at the ball. 

The Wilson Profile SGI does not have a feel that is bad, but it’s certainly not what you would get with a more expensive set of clubs. 

Nevertheless, expect to be rewarded for good shots with this club set.

Price

The price of a Wilson Profile SGI complete set is very reasonable, particularly, this set stand out when you look at the tall, senior, or teen options. 

These types of golfers often need to purchase a complete custom set. However, with the impressive options available from Wilson, you will have all the gear you need for a very fair price. 

Final Thoughts 

The Wilson SGI Complete Set is a worthy purchase for a beginner golfer looking for an affordable way to start playing golf.

Wilson SGI Complete set offers a good mix of distance, forgiveness, and customization. 

The SGI Complete gives golfers a few years of solid performance before they switch to a set of clubs designed with more advanced technology.
