We’ve talked about some of our favorite moments from our recent forum member trip with Wilson Golf, testing out their newest products and learning about everything the company has to offer as it continues to gain momentum as a serious player in the golf equipment space. We’ve talked Wilson Fit AI, Staff Model ZM wedges, all-new RB Utility iron (this thing is the real deal), and now we’re talking about what might be Wilson’s most compelling product offering: the Wilson Golf Staff Model and Dynapower Forged irons.

About the Wilson Staff Model CB and blades

Wilson engineers designed the Staff Model Blades and CB irons together as one connected family in design to allow the elite player to dial in their long and short iron preferences. As a result, both irons feature common lines and weighting, similar aesthetic details, and parallel performance attributes.

About the Wilson Dynapower Forged irons

The Dynapower Forged irons are constructed from 8620 carbon steel and feature an advanced Wilson Golf AI technology system. This system incorporates a new Variable Face Thickness in design to ensure faster ball speeds across the clubface.

About the nembers and what they were fit into

Scott, aka Shilgy, is a 5.1 handicap. Scott came into this trip gaming the Titleist T150s. He was fit into a combo set of the Dynapower Forged irons (4-6) and the Staff Model CBs (7-PW) with the Nippon Pro Modus 115s shafts.

William, aka TM golf guy, is an 8 handicap. William came into this trip gaming the Ping i230s. He was fit into the Dynapower Forged irons (4-GW) with the UST Recoil Dart shafts.

24-hour turnaround!

Olson12: “On our way to the shop, I noticed the @Wilson_Golf staffers setting up four beautiful white golf bags. I couldn’t help but hope there was something in there for us. Up until this point, we expected our clubs to be built at HQ and shipped to us after the event. I even spoke with a team member about another upcoming trip I had, hoping to get the irons in time. She played it cool, saying she would do her best but couldn’t guarantee they’d be ready within a week. So when we arrived, I assumed our gamers had been moved to cool new bags and we’d get the clubs in the mail. Well, I was wrong! Ed Garland is a magician. After our iron and driver fitting, Ed claimed he had to leave for the airport for another event. But in reality, he went to the clubhouse at No. 2 and started building our entire bags from scratch so we could use them on the course with the Wilson crew.”

First impressions from Pinehurst

TLUBulldogGolf: “I don’t see any reason they won’t go straight in the bag. Felt a bit easier to flight in the wind for me.”

“The MBs flat out perform, if you want that classic look they should be on your short list to try, they nailed the shape and the sole design and turf interaction were just what I expect out of a blade. The options to combo with the CB and new utility should appeal to anyone after that classic look with performance.”

Olson12: “They aren’t that shiny. Living in Arizona, I was genuinely concerned that the chrome would be a problem, but it wasn’t. They framed the ball really well—no offset and a very good-looking topline. Compared to my T100, I think the Wilson looks slightly larger from the top, but it could just be the finish difference.”

“After hitting a few good ones, I look at the Flightscope and see I’m at 8200 spin with a 7-iron. I went from never sniffing 7k to being over 8k. Okay, I’ve had enough fun. Ed tells me he’s seen enough and knows what I should be playing.”

TM golf guy: “After getting my numbers, Ed put together a Dynapower Forged with the UST Recoil Dart 105 F4 (stiff). It didn’t take me more than a few swings to know this was the set for me. I’ll do a formal review with side by side with my i230s later after I get them back and get more time with them, but I think these are going to be gamers. I was able to move them either direction, and they felt better than the i230 based on my limited experience so far.”

More testing…

TLUBulldogGolf: “The blades continue to impress me, the sound really stands out. Turf interaction and trajectory control are exactly what I’d expect out of a blade and they really aren’t that punishing on misses which has been a pleasant surprise. I was thinking of grabbing a CB 4 iron but I think I will continue with these for a while.”

Olson12: “Irons are REALLY good! Hitting the ball better than I have in the last couple of years.”

Shilgy: “First swings warming up on the range and I could feel the difference, in a good way, between a properly built set and more mass produced. The balance of this set is fantastic. I’ve always been partial to heavier shafts and heads but the T150 always felt too head heavy to me. The balance on this Wilson set is perfect.”

“Suffice it to say both the CB’s and Dynapower irons were quite good today. Hit it solid and you will get the same result every time….miss it a bit and you’ll still get a very playable result.”

TM golf guy: “The heads definitely feel better than the Pings. One of the things I have really missed is the feeling of a flushed forged iron, and the Wilsons definitely deliver there. They are forged out of 8620, and when you catch one you can really tell because they feel excellent. Mishits aren’t super jarring, partially because of the UST Recoil 105s I have in them, and I think also partially because of “Optimized Power Hole” (probably not their best naming efforts lol) technology on the longer irons.”
