Titleist’s T100 iron has long been a favorite in PGA Tour bags and among serious amateurs. It’s sleek, consistent and carries the prestige of one of golf’s most trusted brands. The Wilson Staff Model CB? It’s more under the radar. Which is the better choice for you? We ran them through MyGolfSpy’s 2025 Player’s head-to-head comparison to find out.

Distance

Neither iron is designed to chase distance but Wilson pulls ahead here. The Staff CB ranked just outside the top 10 in total distance and offered carry numbers that outpaced several better-known models.

The T100, while precise, lagged behind in total yardage. If you’re worried about losing distance when switching to player’s irons, the T100 won’t be the best choice.

Forgiveness

We look at forgiveness as the consistency of an iron in its performance. The Wilson Staff CB and the Titleist T100 are nearly identical in forgiveness. Both irons perform well on off-center strikes but Titleist earns a slight edge. It managed to produce more consistent ball speeds and tighter dispersions across the set.

Still, the Wilson has strong forgiveness capability.

If you’re sitting on the edge of breaking 100, you’re not alone. One Redditor recently shared their journey dropping from 120-plus to nearly breaking 100. Of course, everyone wanted to know how they did it and what the one magic tip was to get it done. I’m not sure there is just “one” thing that can help you start breaking 100, though. Here are a few that I would suggest and that I’ve seen work.

Take Lessons — Then actually practice

This one isn’t the shortcut that most golfers want to hear. However, taking lessons and then practicing what you learned from them does make a difference. Lessons create understanding, help ensure you aren’t reinforcing bad habits and establish some consistency in your golf game.

If you’ve tried lessons and they didn’t work, try a new professional or ask for a way to practice what you’ve learned the right way. Also, consider a playing lesson or short-game lessons to change things up a bit.

Chipping and putting have to be the focus

You’re not going to break 100 by hitting perfect 7-irons. In fact, even gaining an extra 10 yards on your driver probably won’t be enough to help you break 100. However, if you can stop chunking your chip shots or make a fewer three-putts, it’s going to matter.

Try learning to simplify your short game. Keep the ball lower to the ground and putt every chance you have from the green. Shot Scope has done studies showing how effective it is to putt versus hitting a high-lofted lob shot into a green.

I’ve been stuck in my ways for quite some time.

When I find something I like, I stick with it. Seems reasonable, right?

That’s how I’ve felt for years with lululemon golf apparel. It’s been my go-to brand, more specifically for shorts and pants. I hadn’t found anything to rival the quality, fit and comfort of the lululemon ABC and Commission pants…

Until I tried NIKE’s new, very under-the-radar drop, the 24.7 collection.

It’s NIKE’s first real foray into the space dominated by the likes of the aforementioned lululemon, Vuori and Alo. The crossover between lifestyle and sport. Or, in more trendy verbiage, athleisure.

Golf comes with more gear maintenance than most of us want to admit. You’ve got to replace grips, replace wedges before the grooves go flat, toss gloves after a few rounds and even golf balls get scuffed up. Golf shoes, too? Unfortunately, yes. If you’ve had the same pair in play for a while and you’re not sure if they’re still up to the task, here are five signs it might be time to retire them.

Tears or rips

Even minor tears in the upper can let in moisture, reduce stability and lead to further breakdown. Once the outer materials start breaking down, your foot loses protection and structure during the swing. For golfers who play a lot this can happen sooner rather than later but it’s still time to replace.

Sole separation

If the outsole is peeling away from the upper, it’s game over.

Not only does this affect traction and stability but it can also cause serious slip risks, especially in wet conditions.

No longer waterproof

A golf shoe’s waterproof layer doesn’t last forever. If your socks are damp after walking through dew, your shoes are no longer protecting you. Most waterproof warranties only cover one or two years for a reason. It’s time to get rid of these shoes or keep them for the dry days on the course.

The day always starts with good intentions about getting to the course early to stretch and get loose … until traffic, coffee runs or a last-minute hunt for tees in the garage gets in the way. So when I find something that helps me get loose and stay loose, I’m all ears.

Enter the Hyperice Venom 2 Back: a heated, vibrating wrap designed for your lower back, a game-changer for those who don’t always have time for a full warm-up routine.

Why it works for golfers

Whether you’re walking 18 or riding, the golf swing puts plenty of demand on your lower back. The Venom 2 tackles that head-on with a combination of heat and vibration that’s designed to loosen things up and keep you moving freely.

I’ve noticed a huge difference in how my body feels on the first tee. No more tight half-swings on the opening hole. Just a smooth, relaxed turn—without having to do a full dynamic warm-up or awkwardly stretch next to the cart barn if I am running short on time.

Three heat levels for every kind of sore

What I like most about the Venom 2 is the adjustable heat. There are three levels to choose from, which is great depending on how you’re feeling that day. Woke up stiff? Crank it up. Just need a quick boost? Keep it mellow.

Both of my kids play golf and while I’ve tested more training aids than I can count, I’ve found many of them don’t transfer well to junior golfers. They’re too heavy, too complex or built for adult-sized swings. Kids struggle to get the same feel, feedback and progress that adults experience when using the right gear. I’ve pulled together a list of junior golf training aids that either were made for kids or happen to work well for them anyway. Here are some of my favorite junior golf training aids.

The Connector Junior

The Connector is a training aid I’ve been using for a few years. The junior version is perfect for kids.

It helps young players experience what it’s like to stay connected during the backswing and downswing, a concept that can be challenging for kids to grasp. We love it for both short-game practice and full swing. The arm bar ensures their elbows stay in sync and prevents flaring.

It’s lightweight, easy to use and reinforces some of the most important fundamentals in the golf swing.

Sure Strike Junior

The Sure Strike Junior promotes proper wrist mechanics and encourages a descending strike through impact. It’s scaled for juniors, which means the shaft length, weight and overall feel won’t overwhelm their swing. I like this one for kids who are a little more into golf and want direction on mechanics. However, it’s a tough one if this is the kid’s first time swinging a club.
