New irons for 2011
Wilson Golf announces its 2011 lineup
from Wilson Staff, Wilson Golf’s premium
line of professional golf equipment.
Among the new products are new game
improving Di11 irons and classic style
FG62 forged irons.
Wilson Staff Di irons have pushed the
distance and accuracy envelope since the
original Di5 first launched in 2005. In its
fifth generation in the Di iron franchise,
the new Di11 iron features modifications
and updates in virtually every performance
area, all designed to deliver added
power and greater accuracy for players
looking for more distance and more
forgiveness.
At the other end of the player spectrum,
Wilson Golf launches FG62 blades,
the latest in its historic line of classic
forged irons. The muscleback FG62 is
a companion model to the cavity-back
FG Tour model, winner of a Golf Digest
Hot List award in 2010. The ‘62s are

Daniel Albrecht, who suffered serious
injuries at the Kitzbühel downhill eighteen
months ago, confirmed in June that he
would be competing in this season’s
World Cup.
“I’m in good physical condition. Now
I’m also convinced I will participate in
the World Cup opening in Sölden,” said
Albrecht at the end of June.
After the accident, Albrecht underwent
a long and tough period of rehabilitation.
He was able to train normally in the sum-
molded from Precision Forged soft 8620
Mild Carbon Steel that delivers buttery
soft feedback at impact shot after shot.
The delicate balance of top-line thickness,
offset, blade length and blade shape
are in harmony to suit the eyes of the
blade player.
Based on the FG Tour irons that have
been used on the PGA TOUR by Ricky
Barnes and Padraig Harrington, the FG
Tour wedges pick up where our FG irons
leave off. The new FG Tour wedges are a
high-performance option for all-handicap
players looking to score from tight fairway
lies, deep rough and sand while
controlling spin throughout the course.
In addition to these offerings, Wilson
Staff is introducing a full line of technology-driven
equipment for the 2011 golf
season, including Wilson Staff DXi Driver
and Fairway Utilities, Wilson Staff D-FY
combo set for Women and Wilson Staff
Vizor putter.
Daniel Albrecht returns to the slopes
mer and began his snow training on the
familiar Swiss slopes of Saas Fee and
Zermatt. In August, Albrecht flew to a
snow camp in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Physical condition has not been the
sole focus of attention, however. Albrecht
says he has also made progress on the
emotional side.
“Had you told me six months ago I had
won the lottery, I wouldn’t have felt a
thing. Now I once again feel joy before,
during and after my training sessions.”

q For the benefit of the
poles. Eric Larsen, an
explorer and adventurer,
plans to reach the summit of
Mt. Everest, as well as the
North and South Poles in one
year. The purpose of his Save
the Poles expedition is to tell
the world about the impact
of global warming and to
increase awareness of sustainable
development. Larsen
uses Suunto compasses on
his expeditions.

q DIY bicycle. One of the
latest trends among bicycle
enthusiasts is building a bike
from parts. Instead of settling
for ready solutions found at
stores why not try putting
together your own two-wheeler.
Bike-building also solves
any problems with excess
spare time: it can easily take
several weeks to assemble
a bicycle.
