WILSON STAFF MODEL CB

◆ Availability 4-PW ◆ STOCK SHAFTS True Temper Dynamic Gold ◆ 7-IRON LOFT 34° ◆ FORGIVENESS RATING 2

VERDICT Wilson have a long history when it comes to forged irons and the brand has had a real resurgence among ‘players' over the last few years. If you truly are a consistent ball striker who doesn't need to keep an eye on distance, Wilson should be factored into your buying plans in 2021. The CBS are a very traditional lofted, tour-level cavity back which, thanks to the likes of Taylormade's P7MCS and Callaway's Apex TCB, are now the height of fashion. The glossy high-polished plating will split opinion, but there simply isn't a more traditional iron finish available, and it definitely doesn't take anything away from the lovely head shape. Don't fall into the trap of thinking ‘players' irons launch, spin, peak out and descend shots onto the green at better angles just because they have more loft. Our data shows it's simply not the case. Designed to deliver a more penetrating, lower trajectory ball flight, the CB was great at protecting ball speed (third best) and carry (fifth), making it a very solid choice for 2021.
