Wilson releasing Tour Grind wedges inspired by professional staff

When you need feedback on performance, you go to the top. For Wilson and its new Tour Grind wedges, they worked alongside PGA Tour staff to develop new additions to the Staff wedge line to offer greater versatility.

“The new Staff Model Tour Grind Wedges offer consumers the chance to play a wedge inspired by the custom grinds made uniquely for Tour players such as Gary Woodland and Padraig Harrington on Tour,” – Jon Pergande, Global Manager of Innovation.

At the core of this extension are sole grinds intended to help golfers who prefer to play shots around the green with an open face or play in firmer conditions.

They also feature the same technology as the existing Staff Model forged wedges, which will remain in the line

CNC machined face and grooves to maximize volume for pushing moisture and debris away from the strike point and to increase surface roughness.
Soft feel, thanks to a forged 8620 carbon steel construction, along with a Wilson staple: a Fluid Feel insert at the base of the head.

As for the rest of the design, just like the other Wilson Staff Forged wedges, the Tour Grinds have a weight muscle positioned high in the toe to move the center of gravity higher to take advantage of gear effect and increase spin on both full and partial shots.

“With a clean design and precision milled club faces, these Tour Grind wedges will provide all golfers with more control of their shot-making capabilities and are a perfect complement to our existing Staff Model line of wedges.” – Jon Pergande

Price and availability

The all-new Wilson Staff Tour Grind wedges are available today, February 9, at retailers as well as online from Wilson.com.

They are priced at $129.99 and come stock with True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 steel shaft and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
