Designed to give golfers a versatile option in the gap between the fairway woods and long irons, Wilson today announced its new, hybrid-alternative, better-player-focused Staff Model RB utility in three loft offerings (18, 21, and 24 degrees).

Drawing on Wilson Advisory Staff member input (including Padraig Harrington, who is gaming the club), the RB is crafted with a thin topline and sleek look favored by better players. Engineers strategically distributed weight to the toe and sole of the club in this “mid-to-low” CG club for greater resistance to twisting and improved forgiveness.

Additionally, the high-strength C300 maraging steel-face club is hollow-bodied for greater ball speed and aerodynamics. Engineers strategically placed rib structures within the head for better stability, and thus performance, on mishits. Perhaps most interestingly to WRXers, Wilson mentions this improves acoustics on the hollow-bodied (and non-foam-filled) design.

“The professional athletes and elite amateurs with whom we tested all commented on its amazing soft feel at impact and optimized ball flight,” said Bob Thurman, Global General Manager of Golf and Vice President of Research & Development at Wilson. “We feel we created something special for golfers in search of that easy-to-hit distance club.”

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!
