New Wilson Staff Model CB irons for 2021
Can you name the golf equipment company that owns the most major championship victories?
Well, if you are reading this, I imagine if you didn’t know the answer was Wilson you can probably make the connection that, yes, it’s Wilson Staff—and for you trivia buffs, the total is now at an astonishing 62, thanks to 2019 U.S. Open winner Gary Woodland.
Wilson Staff Model CB: Adding to the Wilson iron legacy
To build on the legacy of their forged irons, including the most recent Tour V6, Wilson is introducing the all-new forged Staff Model CB irons featuring multi-material construction to increase MOI and ball striking precision.
They have been designed with input from Wilson staff tour players including Tour V6 users Padraig Harrington, Kevin Streelman, and Kevin Tway to offer the looks and feel golfers expect from a pure forged cavity back.
“The Staff Model CB Irons are aesthetically pleasing to the elite player.
– Jon Pergande Manager of Golf Club Innovation.
The technology
Improving on the previous V6 irons, Wilson engineers have repositioned a tungsten weight to the toe of the mid and longer irons versus the middle of the sole in the V6’s for additional stability while still maintaining a lower center of gravity. This helps make the long irons with less loft easier to elevate without having to go the route of increasing the size of the cavity or reducing the thickness of the face.
Speaking of the face, it is precision milled to ensure flatness and scorelines are also CNC milled to push them to the limits.
The last part of the design puzzle was to further stabilize the head—while never losing sight of the end goal to produce a forged cavity back iron that delivers the ultimate feel—and that’s where the “Tri Brace Stabilizer” comes in. In the cavity of the forged 8620 head is a 3-way cross-section connecting the heel, toe, and topline with thicker “bars.” These bars stiffen the overall cavity while simultaneously making the club feel more solid thanks to the thicker pad. This means less mass to create a better feel, and the remaining grams shaved from the cavity can be repositioned around the head to help with additional forgiveness.
The new Tri-Brace stabilizer providing a structural connection between the topline and the central impact mass we have stabilized the topline enhancing the energy transfer to the ball while also providing improved sound and feel .”

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.
From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored. One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs. They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done. This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did. But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world. I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.
Full set $1,600, or…
…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…
Driver: $70
Fairway: $250
Irons: $1,100
Wedges: $100
Putter: $350″

Those look great! These were definitely not designed on their iron vs. iron tv show!

Another great looking set of Wilson Staff irons and the predictable condescending comments about the company. As along time player who has counted many Wilson clubs in his bag, I really wish which ever conglomerate owns Wilson this week would spend some actual money on advertising and brand building.

These look great. My only criticism is I don’t like the font and location of the sole #s.

Ping has used this placement of tungsten in the toe in the long to mid irons since the i10 or i15. I’ve found this design to be highly effective at stabilizing the club face on off center hits, which the marketing material cites in this article.

The V6’s are some of the best feeling irons I’ve ever hit. Can’t wait to give these a try.
I’ll be looking for new irons this Spring.

So they just took TaylorMade’s SpeedBridge and put it in a smaller iron. Meh, nothing new here.

Where is the speed bridge… And those TM are not forged. Just some gimmick irons for weekenders
Ron

Is the speedbridge in the Taylormade irons forged too?
Usually they are cast so the feel isn’t as good and generally more offset if it’s on the Game Improvement irons.
The minimal offset on the Wilson’s would be more appealing to myself.

Hey Bobby, Wilson had a bridge in the forged FG Tour F5 irons that i still game. It’s nothing new, but it ain’t Taylor Made.
Jason
Nov 23, 2020 at 6:46 am
Taylormade took the idea of the speed pocket from Wilson, just saying. Also, Taylormade pays players to use their bags with no Taylormade clubs in them. Wilson doesn’t.

False. They took it from Adams – then they bought Adams – then they killed Adams.
You’re other part about TM is false, too.

What’s even better about these is that the offset and lofts match up with the Staff blades from what I can tell. Combo set options!?!
