Wilson Golf has updated its premium golf ball range with the introduction of two new tour-calibre models – the Staff Model and Staff Model X.
The latest four-piece urethane constructions deliver enhanced speed, control, durability and feel, with both models are also available with an alignment-focused design, providing golfers with improved visual feedback and precision on the greens.
“The new Staff Model and Staff Model X golf balls are engineered with distinct performance attributes to meet the needs of different elite players,” said Frank Simonutti, Global Director of Golf Ball Innovation. “We wanted to build on the momentum we’ve had over the last few years, which is our premium balls stack up to anything else on the market and it’s good to see so many golfers are putting them in play.”
The balls are engineered using advanced V-COR performance technology which utilises a unique core composition to magnify energy and generate maximum velocity off the club face for the fastest ball speeds on the market, according to the company’s own testing.
Staff Model
The Staff Model ball features a compression of 90, which is 10 points softer that the Staff Model X. This ball is designed for the elite golfer who wants the performance of a Tour-calibre ball but prefers a lower spin rate than a harder urethane ball.
The 2026 Staff Model iteration produces ball velocity, distance, and a lower spin rate (- 3.5% to 4%) than ‘harder’ premium urethane balls on both driver and irons. The ball utilises a soft-compression rubber core, a softer inner mantle layer to control driver spin, a hard ionomer outer mantle layer for velocity and distance, and a thin, soft cast urethane cover layer for exceptional spin on approach shots.
The dimple pattern comprises 362 dimples arranged in a modified hexahedral configuration which is designed to produce the optimum flight trajectory to maximise distance performance.
Staff Model X
The new Staff Model X remains the world’s fastest urethane ball but now offers a softer feel and sound to address feedback from Wilson Tour professionals. This was achieved with a construction comprising a small, mid-compression core, a soft fatty-acid modified terpolymer inner mantle layer, an extra-stiff ionomer outer cover layer, and an ultra-thin cast urethane cover.
The softer compression core, compared to the previous Staff Model X, reduces driver spin rate, the soft inner mantle layer provides a combination of velocity and feel/sound, the stiff outer mantle layer provides ball velocity, and a thin, soft cast urethane cover combines with the outer mantle layer to provide exceptional spin on approach shots.
The dimples are arranged in a 362 hexagonal seamless pattern designed to produce the optimum flight trajectory to maximise distance.
Both balls are presented in a new premium packaging design, with the Staff Model now available in a standout graphite box alongside the Staff Model X in a champagne/bronze colour combination.
TRK360
Both balls are also available with TRK360, Wilson’s 360-degree visual alignment lines, which are offered in a muted black and silver stripe to help golfers aim more accurately at their target, but not so bold as to become a visual distraction. The side seam stamp doubles as a training aid during putting practice, with a smooth, end-over-end roll indicating a well-struck putt, while any wobble reveals an off-centre strike.
Both balls have an RRP of £53 per dozen and are at retail now.
