Wilson unveils new Staff Model wedge line

9.06am 20th March 2024 - New Products

Wilson Golf has launched a new line up of Staff Model wedges which offers golfers of varying skill levels the ultimate versatility when approaching or playing around the green.

The brand has completely redesigned and expanded its short game range with the introduction of the new Wilson Staff Model ZM wedges and Staff Model ZM HT wedges.

Staff Model ZM wedges 

The new Staff Model ZM wedges incorporate a new high-spin precision-milled groove pattern combined with Garnet Face Blasting to ensure a faster, deeper and longer ball interaction. This results in higher consistent spin and check control in all weather conditions, with a special focus on exceptional performance in wet conditions.

Constructed from soft forged 8620 carbon steel, they are designed with a straighter leading edge and elevated centre of gravity for trajectory control in the higher lofted wedges.

“The DNA of Wilson Tour players has been engrained within this new wedge range and we’re proud to provide options for every type of golfer based on their feedback, along with the game-changing technology that is the cornerstone of the design,” said Harry Nodwell, Wilson Golf Product Line Manager. “Our wedge family approach allows golfers to assess their short game skills and match up the correct loft and bounce to seamlessly fit with their current set up and spin it like the pros.”

“There are progressive centre of gravity changes as the lofts increase to promote a more controlled ball flight and solid contact,” added Nodwell. “The centre of gravity change increases the mass on the section of the head from having a flat surface on a 50˚-52˚, more mass is then added on the 54˚- 56˚ and even more has been added from the 58˚ to 60˚ options,” he continued.

They will be available in six loft options – 50˚, 52˚, 54˚, 56˚, 58˚ and 60˚, with a 46˚ and 48˚ available through custom fit. The 56˚, 58˚ and 60˚ options will be available in three bounce choices – low, medium and high – ranging from six to 12 degrees.

The ZM will come equipped with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Spinner WG stock shaft and a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip. All lofts are available in right-handed options, with the 50˚, 52˚, 56˚  and 60˚  also available in left-hand. The RRP is £145 per wedge.

Wilson Staff Model ZM HT

Designed with the same game-changing characteristics as the ZM, the Staff Model ZM HT incorporates a high toe and wide sole construction, providing the ultimate flexibility golfers demand with shot saving in mind.

The deeper precision groove pattern runs across the full face for added control, while the Garnet Face Blasting and soft Forged 8620 Carbon Steel provides the same consistent spin and check control in all weather conditions.

The face shape and sole allow the club to be played at varying degrees of open or closed configurations, giving golfers complete control over the amount of face that makes contact the ball.

It is available in right-hand configuration with 56˚ and 60˚ option (64˚ is available through custom fitting), featuring the same shaft and grip as the ZM. It will be available later this month at a RRP of £145 per wedge.

“The ZM HT offers incredible feel and maximum spin with every shot, with the high toe design providing ultimate versatility around the green,” added Nodwell. “We wanted to keep the high level of consistent spin in all conditions that we have on the ZM model, and we’ve applied the same design ethos to the HT, with our Tour players once again being heavily involved in the process.”
