    I recently purchased a brand-new set of Wilson Staff CB (2021 models) on ebay for $494 dollars. 4-PW, it truly was one of the best deals on a brand-new set of clubs... they look, feel and preform like a million dollars

    I have to get something off my chest: I’m a Wilson fan boy. I converted to them when I changed my Titleist 716 CBs to Wilson V6s. Now I’ve gone to the Staff Blade and I love them. I’m not surprised that the Staff Model CBs are good performers.....

    I have just replaced my Wilson Staff V4 irons with the New Wilson staff CB I have had 4 rounds so far and find them brilliant they are 1 deg stronger than my old irons but I find them a lot more accurate they sound and feel exactly as Lester Described , great review , well worth a trial Wilson are back in the game with these .

    I’ve always felt that the thinner top lines and soles are easier to get under the ball. Coming from a guy who was bagging Mizuno MP and their MMC type clubs for many many years. The Wilson CBs are underrated and probably overlooked by many, however, they are fantastic and IMO they out preform many of their competitors.

    I’m a massive Wilson Staff fan for irons. They have pedigree, and yet pricing is hard to beat. I play C300 Forged and they are the perfect blend of good looks, softness, forgiveness and distance even with a fairly traditional 33* lofted 7 iron. They won’t be coming out of my bag any time soon. Great to see some attention given to Wilson by you guys. And glad you’re back playing golf again over there. Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺 👍🏻

      @cameronloveless1751 3 года назад +1

      @@ftroyser I’m a genuine mid handicapper. The CB’s are very small heads and you would need to be a decent ball striker. The replacement for the C300 Forged I have, is the D7 Forged. They look really similar but are 2 degrees stronger lofts than mine. But they would be a better bet I think (without knowing the specifics of your game). And being forged, if you found the lofts were too strong they could be weakened fairly easily.

    I currently play the V4’s, & they are a great club with a beautiful sound at impact. The CB’s are an evolution of the V6’s & not a lot has changed. They worked on getting the sound slightly better & different weighting. To be honest I am not overly struck on the look of the CB but will give it a go when the pro shop opens as I need an upgrade this year & have 3 or 4 to test out.
    They are forged irons but rough cast first then forged. Price/quality they are one of the best on the market.

    • @dbo4506
      @dbo4506 2 года назад +1

      They’re nothing like the V6. I’ve gamed the v6 for 3yrs and I want to love these CB and they’re good for sure but the v6 is just better. Feel of the face is better. The weighting for me is way better on the v6. The much thinner top line and just as a whole the head on the CB is bulkier yet maybe slightly shorter in the head. But you don’t hit the CB and get any v6 vibes at all.

    • @dbo4506
      @dbo4506 2 года назад +1

      Also they play a touch longer then the v6. Close to half a club for me and definitely had a slight drop in spin which I liked because my v6 spin like crazy.

    Finally, Dan reviews a Wilson product. Personally I played a set of Staff FG‐17 Tour Blades, from 1988 through 2010. Loved them, although the first few months of ownership was a love-hate thing.

    I've custom ordered 2 sets of clubs, from two different top tier manufacturers over the last 4 years, and I'm very fortunate that I live only 3 miles away of TXG in Toronto, and after going in for 2 gapping sessions, I can relate, that of the 12 irons ordered, only 2 were to exact spec - and the other 10 were way off. There is no possible way, to get a greater return on your investment in golf, than to go for a loft & lie, 1-hour, gapping session, at a fitter, who will quickly run through every club and dial in the lofts & lies.

    I'll never understand that age old thing about the "thicker topline giving confidence". If anything, it makes me NOT confident... I see that and immediately I fear the flyer. Same for the offset. I guess I'm far from alone in that and would very much like for you reviewers to stop saying these clichés, as they are heard by manufacturers and it becomes increasingly difficult to find truly good looking irons. Even blades these days seem to be made with a thick-ish topline, too much offset and lofts, well I wouldn't say strong, but too strong for what they are. Kuddos to Titleist for staying in the right place (except they're usually too dear, can't have everything) with their CBs and MBs (particularly now that they've calmed down the offset a bit).
