New Wilson Staff Forged Wedges for 2020

Published

on

Wilson Staff could be considered the originators of the first mass-marketed sand wedge with the R-90, developed by Gene Sarazen. Taking from that proven formula, Wilson Staff engineers collaborated with their tour staff to seek out short-game solutions and confidence-inspiring reliability.

The result is the new line of Wilson Staff Forged Wedges for 2020 including a high-toe option.

2020 Wilson Staff Model Forged Wedges

Building on the success of the PMPs, the all-new Staff Model Forged wedges offer everything you would expect in a premium forged short game weapon, including

  • 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 technology, the Wilson Staff Forged have an all-new weight muscle positioned high in the toe to move the center of gravity higher in the higher-lofted wedges to take advantage of gear effect and increase spin on both full and partial shots.

Compared to other forged wedges on the market, the Wilson is priced at a lower $129.99, which should make it a great contender for a lot of golfers compared to some other options in the category.

The Staff Model Wedges feature the highly trusted True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 steel shaft, and the staple Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip as stock options, with other shafts and grips available through Wilson custom.

Lofts options are 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees in right-handed, with 52, 56, and 60-degree options available for left-handed players.

Wilson Staff Model High-Toe

Like others OEMs, Wilson is now attacking the popular high-toe category…just like you can attack short sided pins.

The Wilson Staff Model High-Toe Wedges combine a high toe profile with a wide versatile sole to offer the most playability to the most players.

“The new Staff Model and Staff Model High-Toe Wedges deliver a clean design, and precision milled club faces to give golfers a boost in confidence in their short game,” said Jon Pergande, Global Manager of Innovation.

“Designed with the feedback from our Wilson Staff PGA Tour players , the new line of wedges gives golfers more control, consistency and shot-making capabilities..”

The Staff Model High-Toe Wedges come in 56, 60, and 64-degree loft options and are priced in line with the forged model at $129.99 per wedge. Like the Staff Forged models, the High-Toe wedges will also feature True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 steel shaft and a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip.

Both Wilson Staff Model Wedges will be available for purchase February 3, 2020.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

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.
