Wilson Golf Staff Model Utility Iron 2024 Review

Article Updated in July 2024

Helping to bridge the gap between your shortest wood and longest iron, Wilson Golf has revealed a brand new Utility iron, the Staff Model RB, which has been engineered to give you an additional edge on the golf course.

Golfshake Equipment Expert, Ryan Rastall, has tested out the new iron on the course at Howley Hall Golf Club in Leeds, comparing it with his old Nike 3-iron in addition to analysing them on the Trackman against the 2023 version of the Wilson Staff Model Utility iron.

You can see what Ryan thought in a new review video that you can either watch below or directly on YouTube.

What You Need to Know

Featuring tour-design specifications with input from Wilson Advisory Staff members like three-time major champion Padraig Harrington - who captured his seventh PGA Tour Champions victory at the recent Hoag Classic with the 24° loft in his bag - and four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner, the RB Utility iron has a sleek, thinner topline to appeal to the better player. 

The refined aesthetic does more than just elevate its visual attraction. By strategically redistributing weight toward both the toe and sole, Wilson engineers achieved an optimised mid-to-low centre of gravity that enhances forgiveness, playability and effortless power.

Further contributing to optimised weight distribution is the club’s hollow body construction, which directly leads to enhanced ball speeds, shot shaping and aerodynamic efficiency. Strategically placed rib (RB) structures reside within the interior of the head to yield higher stability on mishits while simultaneously providing an optimised sound. 

In creating the clubface, the Wilson design team utilised a high strength C300 steel, a cutting-edge material combining exceptional strength with remarkable flexibility. This premium clubface achieves explosive ball speeds with a softer feel.

"The tour professionals and elite amateur players who tested the iron all commented on its amazing soft feel at impact and optimised ball flight," said Bob Thurman, Global General Manager of Golf and Vice President of Research & Development at Wilson. "We feel we have created something special for golfers in search of that easy-to-hit distance club in the Staff Model franchise that has been so well received by golfers worldwide," he added.

The new Staff Model RB Utility is available next month in right-handed 18°, 21° and 24° loft options and comes complete with a stock True Temper HZRDUS GEN 4 Black shaft and Golf Pride Z Grip.
