For 2026, Wilson Golf delivered a top-notch, tour-level ball with its Staff Model and Staff Model X golf balls. In this video, Harry Nodwell, Global Product Line Manager for Wilson, joins our own Brian Knudson for a run-through of the impressive designs.

Below, BK gives you a quick breakdown of the Wilson Staff Model and Staff Model X golf balls.

Wilson’s Staff Model golf balls are tour-level golf balls with high-performance technology. Both the Staff Model and Staff Model X are four-piece golf balls built for golfers with different needs. Each model will give you low driver spin, fast ball speed, and controlled spin around the greens.

Wilson Staff Model

This ball is for the golfer who would like a more penetrating golf ball flight with low spin for long, boring shots off the tee. Spin separation is created with a firmer mantle layer, creating a low-spin driver for maximum distance and then ramping up spin around the greens for precise control. The seamless dimple design offers a stable and consistent ball flight, and the cast urethane cover gives a softer feel at impact.

Wilson Staff Model X

For the player who wants a little higher launch with more spin, the Staff Model X is for you. Just like the Staff Model, this ball is made from 4 pieces, including a mid-compression core for high launch and better control into the green. A mid compression core gives you lower spin on your tee shots, and the Staff Model X will offer the highest spin into the greens of any Wilson golf ball. Like the Staff Model ball, the X is covered with a seamless dimple design for maximum distance and consistency that you can trust.

Club Junkie WITB, week 17: Some underrated irons!

This week in my league, we are going with a rather interesting setup with old and new clubs. The PXG 0317 CB irons are one of the most underrated forged cavity back irons out there. Great soft feel and good perimeter weighting make them pretty darn playable on misses as well. In the bag will be one of my favorite putters that I just don’t seem to use as much as I should, but I have a soft spot for Scotty’s Catalina.
