Wilson Golf introduces new Staff Model and Staff Model X golf balls
Wilson Golf has advanced its Staff Model golf ball family with the introduction of two new offerings: Staff Model and Staff Model X.

The latest four-piece urethane constructions are designed to deliver enhanced speed, control, durability, and feel for elite players. In addition, both models are also available in the popular TRK360 alignment-focused design, which is designed to provide golfers with improved visual feedback on the greens.
“The new Staff Model and Staff Model X golf balls are engineered with distinct performance attributes to meet the needs of different elite players. We wanted to build on the momentum we’ve had over the last few years, which is our premium balls stack up to anything else on the market and it’s good to see so many golfers are putting them in play. – Frank Simonutti, Global Director of Golf Ball Innovation
Both balls are engineered using advanced V-COR performance technology, which utilizes a unique core composition to magnify energy and generate maximum velocity off the club face.
Staff Model

The Staff Model ball features a compression of 90, which is 10 points softer than the Staff Model X. This ball is designed for the elite golfer who wants the performance of a Tour-caliber golf ball but prefers a lower spin rate than a harder urethane ball.

The 2026 Staff Model iteration produces ball velocity, distance, and a lower spin rate (~3.5 to 4 percent) than “harder” premium urethane balls on both driver and irons.
The ball utilizes a soft-compression rubber core, a softer inner mantle layer to control driver spin, a hard ionomer outer mantle layer for velocity and distance, and a thin, soft cast urethane cover layer designed to allow for exceptional spin on approach shots.

The dimple pattern of the Staff Model ball comprises 362 dimples arranged in a modified hexahedral pattern. The dimple pattern is designed to produce the optimum flight trajectory to maximize distance performance.
Staff Model X

The world’s fastest urethane golf ball now offers a softer feel and sound following feedback from Wilson Tour professionals.
This construction was achieved by combining a small, mid-compression core, a soft, fatty-acid-modified terpolymer inner mantle layer, an extra-stiff ionomer outer cover layer, and an ultra-thin cast urethane cover.

The softer compression core, compared to the previous Staff Model X, is designed to reduce driver spin rate, while the soft inner mantle layer is designed to provide a combination of velocity and feel/sound.
The stiff outer mantle layer seeks to provide ball velocity, and a thin, soft cast urethane cover combines with the outer mantle layer in design to provide maximum spin on approach shots.

The dimple pattern of the Staff Model X is a 362 hexagonal dimple pattern designed to produce the optimum flight trajectory to maximize distance performance.
The Staff Model is now available in a Graphite Box design alongside the Staff Model X in its Champagne Bronze colorway.
TRK360

Both the Staff Model X and Staff Model balls are also available with the popular TRK360 design. The 360-degree visual alignment lines are offered in a muted black and silver stripe in order to help golfers aim more accurately at their target but not become a loud, visual distraction.
The side seam stamp doubles as a training aid during putting practice, with a smooth, end-over-end roll, while any wobble reveals an off-center strike.
Price & Availability
The Staff Model and Staff Model X are available now in white and yellow colorways at $49.99 per dozen (TRK360 is the same price).

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

If the staff model is 90 compression and it’s 10 points less than the x model, that would make the x model 100 compression.
