Trying Wilson Golf’s new 2026 Staff Model irons
For 2026, Wilson Golf released a new iron line that is packed with new technology and refinement. In this video, Harry Nodwell, Global Product Line Manager for Wilson, joins our own Brian Knudson for a run-through on the new Staff Model irons.
Starting with the Staff Model XB, Harry dives deep into everything that goes into the new hollow body, players distance iron. The Staff Model XB combines a thin, fast face for distance with internal urethane for great sound and feel. Internal weighting and a forged body ensure the iron performs as good as it looks.
Harry breaks down the new Staff Model CB and MB irons for the skilled player as well. While not as groundbreaking as the XB, the new CB and MB offer refinement over the previous models, with new muscle-back designs to get the center of gravity closer to the head. Moving that weight helps with a more consistent trajectory and spin for precise shots into the green.
Check out the video to see what a full fitting experience looks like and what ultimately works best for BK!
