Wilson introduces new family of Staff irons — with an interesting addition
Wilson Golf has unveiled its 2026 Staff Model iron family, featuring the Staff Model Blade, the redefined Staff Model CB, and the all-new Staff Model XB.
Crafted from forged 8620 carbon steel, the new Staff Model irons have been designed to provide workability and instant feedback at impact.
The precision-milled face and scoreline pattern bid to ensure longer ball-to-face contact to provide golfers with more consistent spin and increased stopping power, whilst the Fluid Feel Technology redistributes mass towards the centre of the face. Additionally, the centre of gravity is precisely located in design to elevate the overall performance.
“Wilson has a long history of great performing irons, and we’ve taken part of that heritage and combined it with modern craftsmanship to produce what I believe to be the best iron family the brand has ever produced. Adding a Players Performance iron in the XB to the Staff Model family allows more people to fit into the range. When you sit the irons side-by-side, you’ll notice the consistent design across all models, whilst each model has individual nuances to differentiate between each iron.” – Ben Hanser, CAD Engineer at Wilson Golf
Staff Model XB

The all-new players performance iron features a forged hollow-body construction that enhances face flexion in design for increased ball speed, while also delivering higher MOI and precise centre of gravity placement. With minimal offset and a thin top line, the XB aims to provide modern power without compromising its sharp, tour-inspired appearance at address.

The clubhead’s hollow body is filled with urethane in design to dampen vibrations and create a crisp, clean sound at impact, while maintaining a seamless look across both the back and toe. Also, a unique design allows the vent port to be hidden beneath the shield medallion, providing a clean look.

Central to the development process were advanced simulations and topology optimisation. Using computer-based simulation, Wilson engineers analysed both the body and the face to produce a hollow-body player’s iron that delivers a triple threat of excellent feel, sound, and performance.

The optimised body construction enhances sound and feel by strategically placing internal mass to fine-tune acoustics, dampen vibrations, and maximise energy transfer. The resulting structure incorporates engineered rib supports, a parabolic mass pad, and precisely located tungsten weighting to achieve an ideal CG while maximising MOI in a slim profile.

The optimised face on the XB is engineered to maximise performance across the entire hitting area. Per Wilson, the simulations emphasised consistency of ball speed, spin rate, and launch angle over a variety of strike locations, as well as helping to raise the performance of centre strikes and mishits alike, minimising dispersion from shot to shot.

“We ran thousands of simulations at multiple different impact locations to prioritise ball speed, spin consistency and an ideal launch angle. The resulting variable face design combined with the precise internal geometry, built from topology optimisation, drive the overall performance and premium impact experience of the Staff Model XB.” -Ben Hanser, CAD Engineer at Wilson Golf
Price: $1,399.99 (seven-piece steel set), $199.99 (per iron)
Staff Model Blade

Crafted for the world’s most precise ball strikers, the timeless Staff Model Blade design stands as the flagship iron in the Wilson lineup and remains a trusted favorite among the brand’s global Tour professionals.


The 2026 model introduces refined, contemporary shaping engineered for exceptional control. A variable hosel length enables more accurate mass distribution and ensures seamless visual alignment with the CB and XB models.


The blade length has been shortened and offset reduced, in design to deliver a more compact profile and minimise the area beyond the scoreline – resulting in a distinctly modern, tour-inspired aesthetic.
Price: $1,399.99 (seven-piece steel set), $199.99 (per iron)
Staff Model CB

Featuring a modern cavity-back construction that bids to deliver an ideal balance of forgiveness and feel, the Staff Model CB has been shaped to closely mirror the Staff Model Blade, reflecting extensive input from Tour professionals.

Building on the previous generation, the Wilson R&D team refined the head by shortening it and softening its edges to better align with the Staff Model Blade’s premium profile.

Delivering a traditional, tour-refined profile, the new Staff Model CB hosel length also matches the Blade for visual consistency, complemented by an improved hosel-to-face transition for a cleaner, more seamless look.

Reduced offset and a straighter, narrower sole is designed to promote improved turf interaction and greater control through impact. The design also features a slightly longer blade length and a thinner topline, offering a blend of subtle forgiveness and classic, confidence-inspiring aesthetics.

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.”

Had the P-770 for 5 years. These are spec wise a direct replacement. Better looking similar performance and feel a little softer.

A friend of mine still plays the original fluid feels staff irons and a 1964 8802. He’s older but can break par from the middle tees. Wilson once ruled, and they still make great clubs. They just don’t get the marketing hype.
