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.

Rory McIlroy’s victory at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship 2021 (now the Truist Championship) marked a significant return to form, as he captured his 19th PGA Tour title. After starting the tournament slowly and sitting well off the pace early, McIlroy surged back into contention with strong weekend play, ultimately closing with a final-round 68 to finish at 10-under par.

Here’s a look at what McIlroy had in play five years ago.
