Wilson Staff Model 2026: Three new Irons for every level of play
Wilson launches three new Staff Model Irons. Find out all about the technology behind Blade, CB and XB. A comparison of the new irons.
The traditional manufacturer Wilson is ringing in the year 2026 with a consistent further development of its premium line. With the official release on February 10, the brand is presenting three new Iron sets that are designed to master the balancing act between classic forging and modern Performance technology. While the Blade and the CB model focus on evolution, the XB model marks an exciting foray into high-tech hollow-body irons.
Wilson Staff Model Blade: The pure form of precision
The new Wilson Staff Model Blade remains true to the brand's DNA. It is aimed at purists who are looking for maximum feedback and the ability to shape the ball flight in any direction.
- Design & Material: Made from soft 8620 carbon steel, it offers a compact, Tour-inspired profile with reduced offset. The new brushed satin finish provides a glare-free look.
- Technology: The centerpiece is the Precision Milled Face, which ensures consistent spin rates. The distinctive Fluid Feel Hosel saves weight, which has been strategically shifted to the toe to move the center of gravity precisely behind the impact point.
Wilson Staff Model CB: Fault tolerance in Players guise
The Wilson Staff Model CB (Cavity Back) bridges the gap between the classic Blade and modern distance irons. It offers the aesthetics of a Players iron with an extra dose of support on off-center hits.
- Construction: Also forged from 8620 steel, the CB utilizes a subtle cavity construction in the back of the club.
- Benefit: Precise Toe Weighting minimizes twisting of the club head on mis-hits. Golfers get the soft feel of a forged Iron without having to deliver absolute perfection on every contact.
Wilson Staff Model XB: Power through hollow body technology
The biggest innovation in the line-up is the Staff Model XB. It breaks with the purely solid construction and relies on a modern hollow-body design.
- Inside: The hollow body is filled with a special urethane injection. This dampens vibrations and produces a sound that comes very close to classic wrought iron, while the striking surface is more flexible.
- Performance: The simulation-based face optimization increases the sweetspot. The XB offers significantly more ball speed and a higher Launcher without looking like a clunky beginner's Iron.
A direct comparison: Which Wilson Iron is right for you?
To make the decision easier, we have compared the most important features of the three new models:
| Feature | Staff Model Blade | Staff Model CB | Staff Model XB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction | Muscle Back (forged) | Cavity Back (forged) | Hollow Body |
| Material | 8620 carbon steel | 8620 Carbon Steel | 8620 steel / urethane injection |
| Main advantage | Ultimate control & feel | Precision with forgiveness | Maximum distance & speed |

Conclusion
With the 2026 line-up, Wilson shows a deep understanding of the needs of modern golfers. Especially the possibility to play these three sets as a combo set (e.g. XB in the long irons, Blade/CB in the short irons) should be interesting for many readers. The combination of the soft 8620 steel across all models guarantees a consistent feel throughout the golf bag.
