Wilson irons have the most Major titles of any golf brand, yet they are often not considered when players pick new equipment.
So, is there a new iron line-up worth testing this season? I got my hands on the Wilson Staff Model blades, Wilson Staff Model CB’s, Wilson Staff Model Xb’s and Wilson Staff Dynapower Forged irons to find out! All of these are new irons for 2026, so which is the best?

Nice video, very informative. The MB model looks great. But with my game I think I would be hetter in the XB model. Keep up the great content.
Some really clean irons by Wilson this year.
It's between the xb and forged for me. I have no business using the mb or cb models. No flusharooney for me with those😂😂
Look really good. Might consider 😊
The Cobra 3D printed blades are probably the easiest to hit blades in the market at least for now.
I am seriously considering getting a set of Wilson’s to replace my Mizuno 243s (won’t be getting rid of ) I just really want to see how much these could do for me properly fitted the XB is getting rave reviews and at £1,090 roughly for 6 clubs it’s awesome price new mizunos are now like £1,500 which is bonkers money. It’s also really interesting how everyone review them sai the front to backs are great no obvious flyer coming off the XB
I’m looking to upgrade my irons in a year or so. I’m retiring at the end of’26. Dynapowers are on my list with T250/T350, Srixon ZXI4 or ZXIR.
Great review Hannah 👏
Really good comparison through all the lines of these irons! hopefull they can find a good niche of players that will at least try them out.
I currently game the D9 Forged love them, I’m torn between the DPF and the XB
Huge fan of “flusheroo’d” 🎉
Great review I've been gaming the mb. Great ball flight and distance, and not alot of spin.
best for you ball flight shows witch one but if you can manipulate data at will whos to say only you by FEEL not data!!!
Simply superb!
I'll take the easiest club to hit.
Interesting that you mentioned the idea of keeping a 5 and 7 iron for range practise. I'm very new to golf over the last 6 months and I've considered doing something similar!
thanks for the review, one thing you didn't touch on was the club weights (assuming the same shaft model in them)….in my experience, hollow bodied irons tend to be a bit lighter in the hands, but of course that's not always the case – can you please make comment on what you felt when testing the XB vs the CB in terms of weight difference (or no difference)? I'll be ordering a set of CBs in the near future but I'm interested in possibly blending a 3+4 XB at the top, so I need to consider shaft weight…and no, unfortunately Wilson doesn't have the shelf exposure in the big box stores here that it seems to in the UK, and I haven't found a club fitter that stocks Wilson either, so like every set I buy it'll be based on the current set I'm using aka self-fit…..thanks again
Another educational review Hannah. KAll my best from across the pond. Were the lofts the same in the 4 irons ? Also, would it be possible to include landing angle in your reviews, it helps when we are looking for stopping power
Smash that like button 👇
Like you I am liking the xb model with hybrids choices at the upper end. A good friend said to always practice at the range with a 3 iron blade from an old set and if you control the ball with a 3 iron your swing was pretty solid.
Great review with a realistic swing speed in actual conditions. I'm glad Wilson removed the power holes from the DF. It made them look cheap.
There was no intentions on changing my irons this year but Wilson have made it tempting to put them back in the bag.
If you watch all the reviews available the Blade and Xb models get all the love, the cb seems to be largely inconsistent in terms of forgiveness over the bade😮
Thank You!! 😃 I ordered the 2025 CB model for an awesome price 😎
Nice review Hannah, my only negative is the OCD side of me hates seeing the word “model” on the head, why not just put “staff” 🤷🏻♂️
I just hit the xb’s and they are great and going in my bag this year!
Looking forward to seeing the XB in person. It seems to be the best fit for my needs. Nice in between lofts. Not too weak and not too strong.
Good video, thanks.
Question; P770 or Wilson XB? Which would you choose? Or, Mazuno M 13/15
Brilliant review Hannah. I’m really interested in testing the XB.
Great review! Received my 2026 CBs last week and they are amazing feel and very forgiving with my mis hits!
I think what this shows is no matter what the brands do with their clubs you can't create extra distance out of thin air. It all comes down to loft, The XB and Dynapower don't go any further then the blade or CB if you take into account the loft difference. Its the same with spin, more loft typically more spin. So it only really comes down to a bit of forgiveness trade off with feel and workability. Nice review Hannah 🙂
Coming out of my Miura's and these look nice. Look like a great option to consider.
really good range of irons from wilson
Great review again Hannah . I've just picked up a set of last years dynapower forged brand new for £519 . And I'm delighted with them . Great clubs . But those XB irons look unreal .. Wilson Definitely knocking it out the park last couple of years .. cani ask what shaft u had in the irons you were testing . Thanks and keep up the good work . Great channel
Great concept reviewing different models from the same manufacturer. Well done!
Would you not benefit from a combo set with clubs like these? XBs for the longer irons and CB or blades for the short irons – obviously not what Wilson sell but seems like it might be what better players need. If I were looking I'd probably go with the Dynapower and the Dyna Forged in a similar combo set if the option were available or the forged and XB
Hannah, Wilson has made some pretty amazing irons for a while. However, it looks like they are trying to up their game. First, your swing and distances were very consistent today. I know the irons were good but you were on your game. Surprisingly to me was how consistent you were with the Dynapower. Your disbursion looked almost like a straight line. Thank you for this review.
I love Wilsom Staff. Beautiful clubs. Might give those XBs a try. Nice video
I play last year dynapower forged irons they are awsome. Best I owned since my Srixon 565
I'm planning to replace my 22 year old irons this spring with the Dynapower Forged more than likely. Looking forward to giving them a go!
