Wilson Golf Announces Addition of New Utility Club to its Franchise Staff Model Irons

Wilson Sporting Goods Co. announces the introduction of the Staff Model RB Utility to help players fill the gap between their shortest fairway wood and their longest iron. The versatility it provides around the golf course makes it a perfect solution for long par threes, reachable-in-two par fives, and even fairway-finding stingers. Three loft offerings will become available for sale on Wilson.com starting Tuesday, July 9.

The Staff Model RB Utility features tour-design specifications with input from Wilson Advisory Staff members like Kevin Kisner and Padraig Harrington, giving it a sleek, thinner topline for a player's appeal.

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

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

The Wilson design team utilized a high strength C300 steel face, a cutting-edge material combining exceptional strength with remarkable flexibility. This premium face achieves explosive ball speeds with a softer feel.

“The professional athletes and elite amateurs with whom we tested all commented on its amazing soft feel at impact and optimized ball flight,” explained Bob Thurman, Global General Manager of Golf and Vice President of Research & Development at Wilson. “We feel we created something special for golfers in search of that easy-to-hit distance club.”

The Staff Model RB Utility is available 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.

Padraig Harrington captured his seventh PGA TOUR Champions victory at the 2024 Hoag Classic with the 24° loft in his bag.
