2024 Wilson CB, Blueprint S and MP 243s

[Cole Fleming]

Got a chance to hit all 3 of these. Was wondering if anyone else did and would like to share there experience. I went in saying no way id buy a Wilson club but boy was i wrong.

 

Wilson- Looked big "to me atleast" , harder to turn over but forgiveness was nice

Ping- miss hits you could really feel, felt like pure strikes were lower on the face but distance was spot on every time

243- i hit the best "gamer club" but have had to re-spec them 2 times from lofts strengthening, at 33 "1weak" i seem to launch it high and less distance than the others.

Wilson's Staff model offerings are a quiet secret for those that are in-the-know. Absolutely on-par with big manufacturer's offerings at a price that's discounted a few hundred dollars.

Wilson’s irons have been top notch for a while. I played some fg tours back in the day and recently got back into their line with this years staff blade. Super simple to play, awesome feel, clean look. What’s not to love. Saved hundreds as well and 100% love them.
 

Will still probably buy something else within 3-4 months though because I’m stupid.

The new Wilson Staff CB are great.  Currently use the older model. I honestly like the 8620 forging.  I am steep and play on hard turf.  Had to bend my old blades all the time from loft/lie creep.  I wish the Staff MB offered a set gap wedge...

Anyone gaming the '24 STAFF CB iron yet?  They look better than the last model.  I have a "players" set gap (A/G/U/W) thing...LOL.  I big reason why I have stuck with Callaway since '18 or so.  However, might be time to move on from blades.  Tried the i210...loved the feel and sole, but just a little too big and too much offset (in the longer irons) than I am used to.  Went back to the Callaway Apex MB '21.

For me the 243 was an impressive club -- ridiculously long (literally 10 yards longer than anything else I tried in the fitting) and relatively forgiving. I felt it fell short in versatility though -- not a big fan of the sole design and almost a bit too hot to suit my needs. The Blueprint S was a dream that offers some of the Ping aesthetic with clean lines and a high quality forging. I didn't find the mishits too punishing at all, though I would agree that the 243 offers a hair more help. I didn't get a chance to have much time with the Wilson CBs. I do like the companies offerings but felt the tech in the Ping (especially the blueprints with the extra help in the long irons) and Mizuno were a bit more intriguing. 

 

Bottom line -- not going to go wrong with any of them.

I own both the 2019 WS Blades and the 2021 CBs. Love the feel and performance of the Blades more. And bothers me (and more so my occasional toe-side strike) that the 2021 CB blade length is actually shorter than that of the Blade. Is the blade length of the new CB longer than the previous model? How does it compare to the blade?

 

I brought my blades to a Ping demo day and the 7i went head to head with the Ping Blueprint S 7i. My Wilson was in PX 6.5 and the Blueprint was in DG 130 X100. Despite being 1 degree weaker at 34*, the two irons produced almost identical numbers. Spin, launch, smash factor, distance. The BP is a very nice iron and feels good. Probably a little more forgiving then the WS Blade, especially on thin shots. But, feel is no better than the Wilson Blade IMO. For the money and classic look, can't beat Wilson!
