Wilson Staff Model CB Irons Review

Wilson Staff Model CB Irons Review

Wilson’s reputation in the golf industry precedes itself with most golfers having picked up a Wilson club during their time playing the sport. The quality of the equipment the brand produces, which caters to all types of golfers, as well as the rich heritage means the best Wilson golf clubs can compete with the leading brands. 

The Staff Model CB Irons are a more forgiving alternative to Wilson’s very popular Staff Model Blade irons released back in 2020 that takes inspiration from the cavity back design found on the V6 Irons (opens in new tab). The result is a sleek-looking club with a compact, tour-inspired profile that looks superb both at the address and in your bag. The cavity on the CB Irons is also very subtle and gives the club a very classic look but the obvious perimeter weighting ensures the clubhead is able to blend playability and shot making. 

Inside the cavity, you’ll notice the club has a T-shaped stabilizer, which sits right behind the sweet spot on the clubface. That provides excellent stability through impact but also provides a solid feel and sound. The stabilizer also helps to transfer more energy to the ball, ensuring players don’t lose distance on slight mishits. Wilson has also added a 20g high-density tungsten weight in the toe of the long and mid irons to stabilise the face and increase the launch angle. We have to say, during testing the flight window was ideal and consistent through the set. 

With a 7-iron loft of 34°, this iron set has a traditional set up that will appeal to the better player, just like the excellent feel on offer. The face is precision milled and is made from forged 8260 carbon steel, which is backed by an integrated impact mass area. This provides a solid yet dense muscleback-style feel. For that reason, if you’re stuck between choosing a cavity back or bladed iron (opens in new tab), you should definitely consider testing the Wilson Staff Model CB irons, which provide the perfect middle ground…
