New redefined Wilson Staff Model irons launch
Wilson has unveiled all-new Wilson Staff Model Irons, the company’s Next Generation of Staff Model Blades.
Wilson Advisory Staff Member and three-time winner on the PGA Tour, Brendan Steele collaborated with the Wilson Labs team to assist in the development of the new Staff Model irons, and speaking on the blades, Steele said
“To be able to genuinely provide my insight on the next generation on FG Tour 100 irons was an experience I’ll never forget. By design, we crafted the new Staff Model irons to have a similar look as the FG Tour 100, which was critical as I continue to evaluate changes to my equipment.”
The Staff Model Irons from Wilson contain a shape similar to the FG Tour 100 while retaining the Fluid Feel Hosel construction which helps to re-distribute weight with the aim of providing maximum feel, while the milled face on Wilson’s new additions aims to provide improved control and greater feel.
Speaking on the latest irons from Wilson, Global Innovation Manager at the company, Jon Pergande stated
“Through precise performance and visually pleasing aesthetics, the Staff Model irons combine the look and feel demanded by today’s players. Brendan’s influence on these irons was impactful, and with the phenomenal expertise of the Wilson LABS team, we knew these irons were going to be an extremely polished product.”
The forged 8620 carbon steel is combined with a high polish mirror finish to complete the blades look, while the new additions from Wilson maintain a thinner top line at address, a detail which Steele made a priority. The all-new Staff Model Irons feature True Temper Dynamic Gold Shafts, and each one possesses a Golf Pride Tour Velvet Grip.
Specs:
The Staff Model Irons are available to buy for $1199.99.

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

It would be nice if they could make mid-handicap cavity backs look like this. For example, I’m playing the Bridgestone J40 DPC’s. If you have seen those, you’ll know what I am talking about. Simple and clean.

For a player’s iron from a OEM whose blades have won more majors than any other brand, their lofts are about 2 degrees stronger than other OEMs. My 845s are supposed to be GI irons when they first came out but its PW is 48 deg, not 46 like this one.

…………”The forged 8620 carbon steel is combined…..”
It is not forged, it is cast then pressed for stampings. It has 20% carbon steel in it, and the other 80% is an alloy with added compounds. Not a true forge. But that is like everything else in life. All BS and no substance. PR people are like lawyers, full of it.
Having said that, if you like them, by them.

Why don’t they forge using 1025? Adams did the 8620 forged and I personally didn’t like them
