New Wilson Staff Model utility iron launching for 2020
It’s hard to argue with a major winner, and Wilson Golf is introducing the all-new Wilson Staff Model utility iron for 2020 on the heels of Gary Woodland’s U.S. Open win with the 18-degree model in the bag (for 36 holes…he switched to a set-matching 3-iron for rounds three and four).
Like many designs starting out, the Staff Model utility was strictly a prototype for Wilson Advisory Staff members, including PGA Tour players and other PGA Professionals. These iron-like utilities are designed to deliver the best possible performance and are built to replace harder-to-hit long irons; they combine a multi-material design with a classic muscleback profile.
The 2020 Wilson Staff Model utility irons featured a hollow clubhead design to push mass lower and away from the face to increase launch angle and boost MOI beyond anything you would find with a traditional iron. The clubface is made from a high-strength C300 maraging steel—a material generally found in fairway woods to produce faster ball speeds across the clubface. By using the stronger, faster rebounding maraging steel, engineers can save mass in the clubface and move it around the head—including the seven-gram external weight positioned on the sole.
Wilson has been extensively testing the prototype utility iron since the beginning of 2019, and it has found it way into multiple PGA Tour player’s bags including Gary Woodland—who used one during his US Open win at Pebble Beach this year. Designers at Wilson are excited to get these new Staff Utilities into golfer’s hands to see the benefit from this new offering
“The Staff Model Utility Irons will give golfers confidence on every shot and in every condition,” said Jon Pergande, Manager of Golf Club Innovation.
“Originally created for our professional staff members, we are excited to bring the utility irons to golfers and believe the strong mix of distance and forgiveness will enable players to attack the course with more confidence.”
Wilson Staff utility iron: Specs & availability
The Wilson Staff utility irons come stock with graphite KBS Tour hybrid shaft along with Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet grip. Additional shafts and grips are available through Wilson Golf’s custom program with some potential up-charges applying.
The club is offered in 18-degree, 21-degree, and 24-degree loft options, and will be available for purchase on Wilson.com and at retail for $229.99 per iron, beginning Wednesday, December 11.
