Wilson Staff CB - opinions?

[GaryF]

Have been shopping for irons and really like Mizuno 923Hm, but then suggested I should try the Wilson, so hit the Staff CB with kbs 95 gram shaft and pretty good results,  5000ish backspin, 142-147 carry with ball speed around 102+/-.  It’s a 34 degree loft and only a few yards shorter (sim) than the delofted 923.  Anyone game there or have experience with them?  Opinions?

I have only ever heard good things about them. That being said never experienced hitting them myself.

My experience is via most wanted testing and I always find the Wilson irons to be some of the best I hit during the testing.   The only potential drawback would be that they aren't as long as some of the other irons that are in the same category; which is probably due to club lofts.

Thanks, I’ll look under the testing tab for more info.  I recall a number of comments about the D9s and when I was hitting the Miz I was very inconsistent (me, not the clubs).  The CBs seem to be for better players so was a bit surprising he had me hit them. Im anxious to try them again when I haven’t been on a 4 wk layoff.

Tried the CBs last year during my Club Champion fitting and they were nice. On par with the Mizuno 223s in my opinion. Personally liked the Srixon ZX7s more than both the Wilsons and Mizunos.

Wilson is very underrated.

I tried these at this time last year and ordered at set. The only reason I didn't get them was because of supply and shipping issues.

They are soft, pure irons, ideal for someone who wants to work on ball striking and for whom distance is not an issue.

They look superb, if I didn't get fitted for Titleist I would have considered the Wilsons.

Underrated.
