Head To Head: Titleist T100 Versus Wilson Staff Model CB

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

Wilson Staff Model CB Distance Score: 8.7Titleist T100 Distance Score: 8.0

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

Wilson Staff CB Forgiveness Score: 8.9Titleist T100 Forgiveness Score: 9.0

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.

Asked On Reddit: What Was The One Thing You Did To Start Breaking 100?

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.

NIKE Is Quietly Killing the Athleisure Game

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 Shoes Don’t Last Forever—5 Signs It’s Time To Let Go

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.
