In a world where one-year product cycles are the norm, two-year product cycles can seem refreshingly old fashioned. But the new Wilson Staff Model CB irons represent an update to the – wait for it – four-year-old FG Tour V6s.
A four-year product cycle? What in the name of Sam Snead is going on here?
Admittedly, the FG Tour V6 is a pretty solid better player’s iron. It was our Most Wanted Player’s Iron in 2017. It slipped to the middle of the pack in 2018 and finished near the bottom in 2019 and 2020.
With that as a backdrop, has it really taken Wilson four full years to develop something better? Or has it been a matter of other priorities in potentially larger – and more profitable – market segments?
Probably a little of both.
