New Wilson Staff Forged Wedges for 2020

Published

on

Wilson Staff could be considered the originators of the first mass-marketed sand wedge with the R-90, developed by Gene Sarazen. Taking from that proven formula, Wilson Staff engineers collaborated with their tour staff to seek out short-game solutions and confidence-inspiring reliability.

The result is the new line of Wilson Staff Forged Wedges for 2020 including a high-toe option.

2020 Wilson Staff Model Forged Wedges

Building on the success of the PMPs, the all-new Staff Model Forged wedges offer everything you would expect in a premium forged short game weapon, including

  • CNC machined face and grooves to maximize volume for pushing moisture and debris away from the strike point and to increase surface roughness.
  • Soft feel, thanks to a forged 8620 Carbon Steel construction, along with a Wilson Staple: a Fluid Feel insert at the base of the head.

As for technology, the Wilson Staff Forged have an all-new weight muscle positioned high in the toe to move the center of gravity higher in the higher-lofted wedges to take advantage of gear effect and increase spin on both full and partial shots.

Compared to other forged wedges on the market, the Wilson is priced at a lower $129.99, which should make it a great contender for a lot of golfers compared to some other options in the category.

The Staff Model Wedges feature the highly trusted True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 steel shaft, and the staple Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip as stock options, with other shafts and grips available through Wilson custom.

Lofts options are 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees in right-handed, with 52, 56, and 60-degree options available for left-handed players.

Wilson Staff Model High-Toe

Like others OEMs, Wilson is now attacking the popular high-toe category…just like you can attack short sided pins.

The Wilson Staff Model High-Toe Wedges combine a high toe profile with a wide versatile sole to offer the most playability to the most players.

“The new Staff Model and Staff Model High-Toe Wedges deliver a clean design, and precision milled club faces to give golfers a boost in confidence in their short game,” said Jon Pergande, Global Manager of Innovation.

“Designed with the feedback from our Wilson Staff PGA Tour players , the new line of wedges gives golfers more control, consistency and shot-making capabilities..”

The Staff Model High-Toe Wedges come in 56, 60, and 64-degree loft options and are priced in line with the forged model at $129.99 per wedge. Like the Staff Forged models, the High-Toe wedges will also feature True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 steel shaft and a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip.

Both Wilson Staff Model Wedges will be available for purchase February 3, 2020.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

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.”
