Product Information

Finished with a modern Staff Model stamp, the all-new premium ball joins the Staff Model family of products designed for elite golfers. Shop the new Staff Model ball here. The 362-dimple pattern and cast-urethane cover provide golfers ultimate control and tour-level spin on iron and wedge shots. The hard, ionomer outer mantle and high CIS polybutadiene core deliver increased ball speeds for impressive distance. The Staff Model ball also features an HPF inner mantle to help give players a soft feel and maximum spin. The best premium golf balls come in alternative versions that spin slightly less for players who prefer a firmer feel or more control off the tee. We recommend you try both kinds of feel from various distances to find your preferred feel. Are you very much a classic white ball player, or someone open to playing something a little different as the golf ball world evolves? There's more choice than ever in this regard and if you are reading this guide, chances are you want a slightly different color or look to your golf ball.

Whenever possible, we will also seek to acquire launch monitor data for a more detailed analysis of each ball model's performance. Specifically, when it comes to Wilson Staff golf balls, we put each ball through its paces on the range and out on the course. We try and assess the difference between these golf balls compared to other options on the market, with a view to measuring them against the best brands in golf. How to choose golf ball Dimples drive the aerodynamics of a golf ball. Paint coats the dimples. Therefore, paint has the potential to impact and even disrupt the aerodynamic performance of the golf ball. As you would expect, Wilson’s data suggests that its paintless Staff Model R provides tighter dispersion than competitors’ (and presumably, its own) painted offerings.With the Wilson Staff Model R, Wilson skips steps 1 and 3 entirely. Seams are polished, the raw balls are stamped, boxed and (Shimmy Shimmy Ya) shipped to retailers. During robotic testing and play tests with our Advisory Staff, unpainted Staff Model prototypes were evaluated next to our painted Staff Model balls. These ‘raw’ versions of the ball performed so well, delivered such exceptional precision and overall performance that our advisory staff demanded that we develop an unpainted version for production, and Staff Model R was born. An avid player, Chris currently maintains a handicap index of 2.4 and has a career-low round of 66, which he has shot on three occasions. He lives about 20 miles north of Atlanta in Roswell, Georgia, with his wife, Stacey, and is a member at Atlanta National Golf Club. It’s a 35 compression which does indeed make it as soft as anything out there, while the VelocitiCOR aids greater distance. What is VelocitiCOR? According to Frank Simonutti, Director of Golf Ball Innovation for Wilson, it’s basically “steroids for golf balls”.Unlike golfers, golf balls are allowed to be enhanced with steroids. The performance piece is intriguing, though not in a way that works for me. I’m a high-spin guy, so any ball that can deliver on a promise of more spin throughout the bag isn’t going to ideal for me.

It is important to point out here that this does not impact on performance at all but visually it will be off-putting to some golfers. You don’t expect a brand new shiny golf ball that you’ve only played two holes with to look like one that has been lying in a muddy ditch for six months. Wilson Staff has a long and solid history of excellence in the world of golf. A reputation that is strongly exemplified through their incredible golf ball ranges, offering superior overall performance to golfer's at every level. Under our weight classification system, the Staff Model falls in the average range while the Staff Model R is small. Where weight is concerned, the Staff Model is again within the average range while the staff Model R is light. Wilson Staff Model / Staff Model R Inspection Durability is certainly an issue though. It turns out that there’s actually a very good reason why golf balls are painted! It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with protecting the cover and keeping the ball looking as good as new for as long as possible. The Staff Model is a 4-piece urethane golf ball with true Tour-caliber precision, speed, and consistency. Because uneven paint can harm performance, the Staff Model is painted with a highly regulated application technique that assures each urethane ball has a near-flawless finish when it leaves the manufacturer. You can always rely on the Staff Model to take you where you want. This is a masterpiece of perfection.

Most of my golf ball testing is done on a launch monitor where I can tease apart the minute differences between models. While I’ve done that with the Wilson Staff Model golf ball, I’ve also gotten an above average amount of on-course time with it. Both forms of testing have left me impressed.

For Staff Model, Wilson implemented a finely controlled paint application process. The result is a more uniform coat of paint that translates to more consistent performance and supreme shot-making confidence. The painting process can frequently result in balls with poor, uneven paint coverage and pooling of paint in these shallow dimples,” said Frank Simonutti, Global Director of Golf Ball Innovation. “This can significantly affect the trajectory and the directional stability of the flight of the ball. By eliminating the paint, we were able to eliminate all of the shortcomings attributed to the painting process used on all golf balls.“Since those humble beginnings, our endeavour has blossomed into a robust and trusted online retailer, representing the leading brands in the golf industry. We take immense pride in being your go-to destination for all things golf! This low-compression Wilson ball promises extreme distance through a hard ionomer cover material that optimizes trajectory for maximum yardage and roll. And from our testing, we can vouch that this ball certainly delivers. The enhanced aerodynamic dimple pattern really does add to the power potential from the tee and we were so impressed by its distances that we have included it in our best distance golf balls guide.

The urethane Bridgestone uses in its Tour B series, for example, isn’t painted but the company does apply a clear-coat finish. Finally the ball's durability was excellent. The picture is taken after the round; the ball saw maybe 10-12 complete holes. There is one gouge from a shot that game down on a sand/gravel path. No ball was surviving that unblemished. The Wilson Staff Model R fell into the low end of the Average range. That can be attributed to six balls that were appreciably heavier than the others in the sample.
