GolfWRX “The Shop”: Wilson FG Tour V6 Raw irons, and how to make clubs rust quicker
In the first episode of our new series called “The Shop,” equipment expert Brian Knudson explains the technology in the Wilson FG Tour V6 irons and how the new Raw versions are different. Also, Knudson shows you how to make raw golf clubs rust quicker using a simple solution. Enjoy the video below!
Let us know what you want Knudson to cover next in “The Shop.”
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

i just sold my v6 irons….loved look and feel. as a high ball hitter they simply spun too much for my needs. Although i just played erin hills with them after some rain the extra spin not necessary. also i delofted to a more aggresive loft and still too spinny for me. basically 7000 spin with 7-iron. most newer irons are 5500-6300. i just played wilson forged c300 and the spin on those were a tad low side 5200 so i had a ton of fliers. sucks cause i loved both irons….

Your ‘love’ of your iron club is admirable… so romantic… so sick…

If you hit a “cut” with a rusty iron, will you need to get a tetanus shot?

Is there anyway to prevent rust on raw clubs?

It really isn’t a very good idea to apply any type of mixture containing salt or sodium chloride to steel. The combination of moisture, oxygen, and salt eats away and corrodes steel much faster than most people would want. Depends on how long you want to keep those irons I suppose…

If you want rust, wrap in a wet paper towel.
For me, I hate oxidation. It looks like an uncared-for club to me, but I’m weird.

Do Wilson engineers compensate groove dimension to take into account the changes from rust buildup and shedding? The USGA and R&A will investigate any violations, infringements, contraventions and felonies to the Rules of Golf !!!

Just use Vinegar

… unpasteurized apple cider vinegar works best …. balsamic vinegarette is also good… 😉

OK..
LH V6 irons available-“choose the custom option”- but no LH FG Tour 100 Forged irons?
None?
Who at Wilson decided to skip making a LH version of the “Centennial Model” forged iron?

Checked them out on their site. They are great looking irons and I dig the raw option. Whats kinda crazy is that they are $99 more. Seems like removing the chrome plating process should reduce the cost to build, so I assume the up-charge is for the cool factor?

Put some hydrochloric acid into a plastic bottle
Dissolve a little copper in the hydrochloric acid
Dilute the copper and acid solution with a bit of water
Clean your Iron heads thoroughly
Apply the acid solution
Allow the metal to rust
Done!

… soaking them in morning fresh ur!ne also works albeit a tad slower than the high PH acid formulation you recommend…. 😎

ooopa… that should read “low pH”… my bad… 😮
