I have the previous generation. 8/9/PW in the blade, 5/6/7 in the CB. The feel is spectacular and the appearance is other worldly. Club up, relax your swing and just enjoy!
Wilson holds onto their traditional strength and is moving competently through the rest of the bag for all types of golfers 👍 Looking forward to the oncourse review.
Wilson are great value for money, they produce great feeling irons. I started playing wilson left to play Mizuno and have returned to Wilson of which I am happy to play for there quality and consistency, I believe they are very underrated as a manufacturer of great clubs and find a lot of bias towards Wilson against the so called bigger names. I personally love all the irons I have played manufactured by Wilson ❤️😁😁😁
Wilson has almost always made some of the most beautiful irons in the business. I have a set from 1972 and they are stunning, Nonetheless, Wilson muscle backs are some of the least forgiving Irons you could put in your bag. When you miss, they come up short much more than you could ever expect.
Wilson Staff irons are the Acura NSX of the golf world. Look amazing and perform but don't get talked about nearly enough. Very hidden gems. Those blades look incredible 🤙
I almost got the older ones at a discount but really didn’t want the full weight S300 shaft. These come with the mid 115 which are a lot more manageable.
@@MrMatthew262 I actually put X100 shafts in mine…. Beefy. Stock the irons are very light. Still, the feel is amazing. See if your local shop will let you demo them on the course and you’ll see… very solid soft feel…absolutely love these irons. I played two generations of Staff model FG tours before getting these, and these take those great irons and up the ante a bit with the tungsten toe insert…even toey shots are not bad…
Ian Fraser hit both with extreme consistency. He noted that the drilled out hosel allows Wilson to add a little weight to the toe which helps bring the sweet spot a bit more toward the center of the face than is usual for blades.
Nice video! James, don’t forget those are the standard old lofts. Sort of. I played a set of Haigs up to a 2 iron. I practices with it on occasion off a low tee. A couple of young pros were standing next to me. I interrupted their practice and said; Yiu guys are pros, see if you can hit This!? Best shit was about 150. I would put the blades in up to the 4 iron and enjoy golf! I still play blades, Mizuno with a softer shaft now at 70 years old. Still can hit a 6 iron 185 ish. Love your videos with Chris!!! And the great courses you have over in the Uk.
I had JPX 921 HMP. I'm a 4 HDCP, and didn't realize how strongly lofted the HMP were. I was carrying my P wedge 145 and had a large yard gap between 50 degree and P wedge. I met with a club pro. Tried out a more traditional style of irons. I still wanted some forgiveness, but wanted some of the aspects of a players iron. I traded in my JPX 921s HMP and left with a P-4 Iron Wilson Staff model CBs. The lofts are more traditional with 7 iron at 34 degrees and now I carry my P wedge 135 and I can easily hit it 125 if needed. Now my gaps are closed and playing well. Love these irons. If your a decent ball striker, the other benefit of these clubs, is the ability to club up and swing confidently. With the strong lofted clubs and hot face, I could randomly get a ball that would just come off sooooo hot and fly 10 yards further than expected. These clubs have me dialed in with my carry numbers.
I’m coming from the HMP to the CB’s well. Wanted something to tame the distance and a little sleeker looking. I can’t stand huge soles. I’m looking forward to them but a bit nervous about the transition to this type of iron from such a helpful one. How long did it take Wilson to ship your irons?
I have just received my 2024 Staff Model Blades. I’m an adequate ball striker and I don’t hit the ball into space. I got them because they make me feel good. If you don’t hit them from the middle you’ll get punished but they’re more forgiving than you might think. I love them.
They are my new irons 😊. A blended set of CBs and blades, and they are gorgeous. This year, they have designed the back of the blades to be a better visual match to the CBs. Mind you, last year's blades were even prettier. They feel incredible, and the blades are more 'forgiving'/consistent than you'd expect.
I say play against yourself in a 9 hole match , you playing the blade vs the cavity back!!! Wilson irons are classic and perform amazingly! Awesome content James!
wilson staff irons are massively underrated. I've been custom fit 3 times now, tried a numbèr of manufacturers. Ping have always come out on top but, wilson staff are usually in the other choice. They make great feeling forged irons.
Hi James, I just ordered last week the new Wilson Staff blade. When I tested the 7 iron, I was so surprised to see how well I played it. Also, surprisingly it gave me the carry distance of a 6 iron.
Had the previous tour model CB. Loved the feel and look but I just couldn't score with them. Traded them in for some Srixon Zx7s and was back shooting in the 70s within a few rounds. Now just gotta heal up from this back surgery and I should be back on the course by mid April.
Those irons gorgeous, wish I waited for these,instead am playing the mizuno 923 forged irons,love em but still miss my Wilson staff tour blades from late 80's, the best ever.....
Wilson does make some great irons..Just wondering how the CB would stack up against the Mizuno 245 irons??? Could you do a video of that and give us your takes???Thanks...
Another good video James (and great caddying Chris); I’ve been looking forward to this video. I currently play the D9 Forged irons, but am a serial de-lofter, so am really interested in the Wilson Staff CB irons. Also I’m a tight arse, so if I can get great clubs for less money, I’ll take them every time. Keep up the great work
@@JDDD33 I have played and still have the d9 forged. They are great, but like I said I am focusing on ball striking this year and the d9’s (and I’m sure the dynaforged) let me get away with more mishits. The dynapowers look and feel great too.
Have played Wilson clubs for nearly 50 years from early X31 irons. Now have the previous CB irons and Dynapower carbon driver with D9 fairway woods and hybrids
The Staff CBs are beautiful irons and rather forgiving for what they are, i have the previous ones and they have been great for me, coming off a set of Ping G400s that i just didnt get along with i wanted something more consistent with good forgiveness, they are more than that.
I had the Wilson Staff fluid feel blades as my first complete set in the mid 80's. Very un-forgiving but when I hit them well, they were awesome. Had a sweetspot about the size of a dime. I have always liked Wilson. I am currently using Titleist and really contemplating Takomo in the near future but now, I will have to consider Wilson. Thanks again for the review.
I use blades. And seeing u with the 4 iron makes me happy. It’s so hard to use. But every now and then u pure it and u feel like a pro 🤣. Great review and those clubs look beautiful
I would play the cb’s but at least a degree strong. I think that would tame the height and spin a but. Would make these a serious contender on category.
Hey James, the reason that you are not getting the longer distance is because the Lofts are weaker. The Wilson Staff Blade & CB 7 Iron is 34 Degrees. Most 7 Irons are 30 to 32 Degrees. It is more like an 8 Iron.
There are many reasons why everyone should NOT play forged blades. Wilson once had a absolute lock on providing forged blades to top tour players but quickly lost its staggering market share when other manufacturers evolved the technology of golf clubs. These clubs are nothing more than a nostalgic curiosity and a relic of a bygone era long since passed. Thank You but I'm sticking to my modern clubs.
No James, the Ping Blueprint T have to be the best looking irons I’ve ever seen, followed closely by the Cleveland CG1 blades, followed closely by the Nike blades Tiger played in around 2004, followed closely by a large handful of Mizuno irons!😂
The Good Good Desert Open Winners play all Wilson clubs....My son Ben (Pause Nation) absolutely loves the irons and wedges 😀...Great review.
Can confirm that the CB's feel incredible. Wilson is a great company. I'm loving the Staff Model ball as well.
Really good looking irons and very underrated, Wilson golf have done a good job.
I have the previous generation. 8/9/PW in the blade, 5/6/7 in the CB. The feel is spectacular and the appearance is other worldly. Club up, relax your swing and just enjoy!
Great advice. Who cares what number is stamped on the bottom of the club, if you are enjoying golf and hitting it close
Spot on billy, it’s how many not how. I have the D7 forged live them and Wilson’s have the styling spot on.
Wilson holds onto their traditional strength and is moving competently through the rest of the bag for all types of golfers 👍 Looking forward to the oncourse review.

Are you giving these away? And you picked me as the winner? That’s awesome.

I tried these out a couple weeks ago. They are amazing. I wish they were more affordable, much like the rest of the sport
out of all the irons they are the most affordable
More affordable than most
@@travisparrott2923 I guess I need to be getting clubs where you do. They seem to be the same price as most.
@@cameronloveless1751 used maybe

I’d love to see the Dynapower Forged irons after the great reviews the D9 forged got
I hit the new CBs and they felt the best out of all I hit including Callaway, Mizuno, Ping, and Cobra.
I have just received my 2024 Staff Model Blades. I’m an adequate ball striker and I don’t hit the ball into space. I got them because they make me feel good. If you don’t hit them from the middle you’ll get punished but they’re more forgiving than you might think. I love them.

You’d be surprised how well you could hit them. It’s largely overblown how difficult they’re.

Doubt their would be much of a difference between those two irons
Those irons gorgeous, wish I waited for these,instead am playing the mizuno 923 forged irons,love em but still miss my Wilson staff tour blades from late 80's, the best ever.....
Wilson are on fire ATM. Just bought the dynapower irons. I love the look of those blades but no way i could ever strike them properly
When Wilson put some work into it, they are top irons in the world. And stil at good prices
Wilson always has as good looking players irons as exist in golf and don’t get enough love for how great their irons are
Over history, more tournaments have been one with Wilson
lol yeah when there were like less than 4 companies.
Wilson does make some great irons..Just wondering how the CB would stack up against the Mizuno 245 irons??? Could you do a video of that and give us your takes???Thanks...
The CBs are most akin to the Mizuno 243s and the blades are more akin to the 241s. The 245s are moving toward a different category of iron.
Wilson Staf Blade irons are so beautiful to look at, hard to hit but they might be the best looking blades of 2024.
I just picked up the Wilson D9 irons brand new in box. Played one round with them and broke 80.
Another good video James (and great caddying Chris); I’ve been looking forward to this video.
I currently play the D9 Forged irons, but am a serial de-lofter, so am really interested in the Wilson Staff CB irons.

i've heard great things about the d9 forged. wilson just makes AWESOME clubs. Criminally underrated.
The forgotten brand!!.... They both look beautiful, might have to start looking at these more seriously 🤔...🌟🎊🤩🥳
Love wilson have wedges putter and driver saving up for these irons
Absolute stunners - 4/5/6 CB and the rest blades - love the clean look of these - love my Miuras but these look great!
CBs are beautiful. Last gen was as well.
By far the best looking irons on the market
Just bought the last model cb at mega cheap prices due to the new model and they are great looking and feeling irons ..
Yeh good work! Agree. In Australia can get runout full set of CBs for 900AUD
The CBs look sick. Might be looking at my next set of irons
Good looking irons but for sure Not for the average golf but love to see with there forge D that just came out
The best looking set of irons I've ever seen!⛳⛳⛳⛳
Wilson make some gorgeous looking irons and I’m looking forward to your on course review
Still love the wilson launchpad 2 irons, great for beginners, so much forgiveness
I went with the cb’s! I love them! Got them bent 2 degrees strong in lofts and they are amazing! I want to work on ball striking this year!
If bending strong, why not just go the dynapower forged
@@JDDD33 I have played and still have the d9 forged. They are great, but like I said I am focusing on ball striking this year and the d9’s (and I’m sure the dynaforged) let me get away with more mishits. The dynapowers look and feel great too.
@@JDDD33because there’s 3.5 degree loft difference between the blades/CB’s and the DO Forged, and he only bent them 2 deg
@@cameronloveless1751 ya, I wasn’t trying to match the lofts, just make it so they weren’t a full club difference.
Love Wilson Staff, glad they are back
Really good video James. Can't wait to get my hands on some of these irons.
Great looking irons. Great review as always JR.
Wow. I love these clubs. They are way underrated
Honestly James they are the best looking irons about ...end of 👍
Have played Wilson clubs for nearly 50 years from early X31 irons. Now have the previous CB irons and Dynapower carbon driver with D9 fairway woods and hybrids
Dynapower forged are super nice too
CB any time. Blade is too shiny for me. Oh James if you have fancy clubs like those Takomos clean 'em will you?
I just got a set of the d9 forged. Can't wait to hit them
I have staff cbs P to 4 iron and love them....although I cant hit the 4 as well as a hybrid but I'm a mid handicap
I am looking forward to the forged dynapower review James
What a lovely set of irons. Nice review James"
The Staff CBs are beautiful irons and rather forgiving for what they are, i have the previous ones and they have been great for me, coming off a set of Ping G400s that i just didnt get along with i wanted something more consistent with good forgiveness, they are more than that.
I game the previous model Wilson CB’s and loooove them. I don’t know if I’ll ever play a different kind of iron
I had the Wilson Staff fluid feel blades as my first complete set in the mid 80's. Very un-forgiving but when I hit them well, they were awesome. Had a sweetspot about the size of a dime. I have always liked Wilson. I am currently using Titleist and really contemplating Takomo in the near future but now, I will have to consider Wilson. Thanks again for the review.
The best looking irons ever are still the Wilson Staff FG 62 blades.
Yes, they are beautiful.
Beautiful clubs!
Love my CB's 😊
I use blades. And seeing u with the 4 iron makes me happy. It’s so hard to use. But every now and then u pure it and u feel like a pro 🤣. Great review and those clubs look beautiful
Much underrated. Don't they still hold the number one spot for Major Championship winners?
Yes. More than 60 titles
Have been a fan of Wilson for years! Glad they stepped up their game.
I really love the looks of the Staff blade. It looks like the new ones might not be in lefty, or at least not yet.
Beautiful set of irons
I would play the cb’s but at least a degree strong. I think that would tame the height and spin a but. Would make these a serious contender on category.
i have last years blades and they are amazing. and i feel like they are forgiving. i love the long irons super small. I have a new cn trying it out.
I wish I was consistent enough to hit blades. I think Blades are the prettiest golf clubs made.
I’ve just got my staff model blades…there lovely clubs to hit…🔥🔥
Very nice clubs .. the blades are so nice looking ..wish they spent a little time on the CB looking better..I like the chrome look better😏
Wilson staff tour blades from when I was a junior, not yesterday. Best ever
Wilson do the best irons, love my D9 Forged
I genuinely think a LOT of CB models look the best!!
Taylormade p7-MC’s look wayyy better than the MB’s, IMO!
Been playing the previous gen cb's. They are great.
Okay nevermind the copper takomo irons 😂
Sunday!!! 🤫 🙌🏼⛳️🎥
3-5 cb and 6-p in blade will replace my FG 62s.
£200 for set of 9 FG-17 irons in 1982 and nine of these is £1150
Yeh, way better value today with inflation. Exxy back in the day
All of these irons are so gorgeous. Unfortunately I'm not good enough to hit them.
Well done James 👏 😊
One thing is for sure Wilson won’t cost as much as the big boys!
Gotta be a give away. these an amazing upgrade to the Wilson Staff C200 that i;ve well grown out of

He's a pro and tests clubs all the time. I think he knows that already. Smh.
try the dynapower forge irons
I bought the Wilson D9 Forged irons and didn't get along with the sole. I have Apex Pro 21's and found the sole width is what I enjoy.
Apex being wider or narrower ?
@@JDDD33 apex pros have a sharper and more narrow sole.
who makes those kicks?
Those are some good looking irons.
Both sets do look very nice
I like the CB clubs better. I think they look better.
What kind of shoes are you wearing?
